In \u003ci\u003eJugaad Time\u003c\/i\u003e Amit S. Rai explores how jugaad operates within contemporary Indian digital media cultures through the use of the mobile phone. Rai shows that despite being co-opted by capitalism to extract free creative labor from the workforce, jugaad is simultaneously a practice of everyday resistance, as workers and communities employ hacks to oppose corporate, caste, and gender power. Locating the tensions surrounding jugaad-as both premodern and postdigital, innovative and oppressive-Rai maps how jugaad can be used to undermine neoliberal capitalist media ecologies and nationalist politics.","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53981136847192,"sku":null,"price":114.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781478001102_2b75fa7c-6021-42b5-8158-26d4a001fbb2.jpg?v=1777961716","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/jugaad-time-ecologies-of-everyday-hacking-in-india-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
