A term for this formation might well be communicative capitalism. Just as industrial capitalism relied on the exploitation of labor, so does communicative capitalism rely on the exploitation of communication. As Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue, “communication is the form of capitalist production in which capital has succeeded in submitting society entirely and globally to its regime, suppressing all alternative paths.” A critical theory of communicative capitalism would require occupying (rather than disavowing) the trap in which it enthralls and configures contemporary subjects. One could argue that this trap takes the form that modern European philosophy heralded as the form of freedom: reflexivity. Communicative capitalism might then be that economic-ideological form wherein reflexivity captures creativity and resistance so as to enrich the few as it placates and diverts the many.
