In a first step, four central ecological schemas among high-paid digital workers are identified: (1) managing limited resources, (2) critical techno-optimism, (3) academic concern, and (4) lifestyle struggles

Unternehmerische und kreative Subjektformen sind unter den neuen digitalen Professionals nicht dominant. Stattdessen steht Achtsamkeit vis-à-vis sozialen Ungleichheiten und der eigenen Lebensführung im Vordergrund (2/4)

@Malte__Krueger Wir wär‘s mit ‚Rubikon-Überschreitung‘ stattdessen?

@MissCharlez @SawsanChebli Tieferliegend zeigt die Geschichte doch eigentlich auf, dass es der SPD an Posten mangelt. Mit den sinkenden Umfragewerten gibt es immer weniger gute Plätze für eine Menge an etablierten KandidatInnen. Letztlich besonders tragisch für Außenseiter und frische Gesichter.

Fleshing out such homologies, my aim with the article is to shed a new light on green capitalism while also analyzing the nexus between ecological orientations and class positions

In a second step, I discuss how these four schemas relate to the different forms of capital held by tech workers. Drawing on #Bourdieu , I hold that homologies between the ecological schemas and the middle-class positions of tech workers can be identified

@GatekeeperGeek Nice to hear your interest in the study! I can understand why you find some parts too optimistic. The paper was written in the context of the „tech worker movement“ gaining quite a lot of momentum. This has cooled down a bit but I still think we should recognize the potential :)
