This work provides a comprehensive feminist critique of reproductive and caregiving labor, rooted in the Italian feminist movement of the 1970s. It explores the social and economic implications of these forms of labor, highlighting their undervaluation and the systemic issues surrounding them. By examining the intersection of gender, labor, and social structures, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of feminism and its relevance to contemporary discussions on labor rights and gender equality.

This book discusses the personal and social lives of e-actors interacting within the socio-technical structures of the evolving broadband society by exploring the different ways in which individuals, social groups, institutions, operators, manufactures, policy makers, designers and other parties contribute to human communication and social interaction in contemporary media societies. The volume covers four theoretical and empirical areas of research: the conceptual perspectives of e-actors, the emergence of new forms of agency, subjectivity, and mediated interpersonal communication, the everyday life experiences of e-actors, and finally the shaping policies and regulations in the broadband society.
