Kasturi Ray, Ph.D Associate Professor Evren Savci, Ph.D Assistant Professor “DON’T BE EVIL”: GOOGLE’S LABOR, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE LIMITS OF CORPORATE GOOD Alison Agnes Veith San Francisco, California 2015 Google’s “Don’t Be Evil” motto and its public image as corporate do-gooder are examined through a material and cultural analysis of its internal labor hierarchies and its technological products. By focusing on Google’s hidden contracted reproductive service laborers, as well as the premises and consequences of disruptive, digital technology, this project reveals how the realities of necessary but undesirable work are obscured and contested. This dual focus allows for a revaluation of intimate labors in two ways. First, it reveals that Google’s sustained capital accumulation relies on its reproductive intimate labor. Second, it recognizes that Google’s corporate practices of invisibilizing intimate labor and mediating social intimacies are importantly reflective of the larger social, economic, and cultural trends in our emerging knowledge-based/service-based economy.
