Description
PPPR is organized and run by Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni:
“Platforms, Populisms, Pandemics and Riots (PPPR) is the public face of a research project examining the convergence of digital capitalism, populist politics, the coronavirus crisis and world-wide explosions of social unrest. It is a project whose objects and subjects have been transformed by the successive shocks—epidemiological, economic, ecological—delivered to global capitalism in the last year. The site’s origins lie in a proposal to examine left populist proposals for the regulation, reform or replacements of platform capitalism. Its topics were to be the programs and policies of groups such as, in the US, Bernie Sanders’ Democrats, in the UK, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party, in Spain, Podemos, in France, La France Insoumise, in Germany, Die Linke.“
