academic publication and shows that the current political economy of
mainstream academic publishing has resulted from a complex interplay
between large academic publishers, academics, and hacker-activists. The
process of publishing is a form of ‘social production’ that takes place
across the economy, politics and culture, all of which are in turn
accommodating both old and new technology in our postdigital age.
Technologies such as software cannot be separated from human labour,
academic centres cannot be looked at in isolation from their margins,
and the necessity of transdisciplinary approaches does not imply the
disappearance of traditional disciplines. In the postdigital age, the
concept of the margins has not disappeared, but it has become
somewhat marginal in its own right. We need to develop a new
language of describing what we mean by ‘marginal voices’ in the social
relations between knowledge production and academic publication.
Universities require new strategies for cohabitation of, and collaboration
between, various socio-technological actors, and new postdigital politics
and practice of knowledge production and academic publishing.
