This essay explains the concept of ‘alienation’ via Marx’s use of it, first setting out how he defines the term in The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 (including that phenomenon of alienation is pointedly distinguished from that of objectification), then showing how the 1844 categories— alienation from produced objects; alienation from the process of production; alienation from others; alienation from species-being— are given their full political economic due in the analysis of Capital, Vol. 1. The early work establishes the stakes, with respect to alienation; the later work details the mechanism(s) and form of alienation in capitalism.

Alienation is the social and psychological separation between oneself and one's life experiences. Alienation is a concept originally applied to work and work settings but today is also used to characterize separation from the political sphere of society. To be alienated is to live in a society but not to feel that one is a part of its ongoing activities.

Amid a wide scholarly and public focus on disability in the public eye, I aim to focus on the paradox of invisible disabilities. In my life living with an invisible physical disability, the duality that comes from existing as an othered person who escapes constant scrutiny has shaped how I interact with the world. Interactions with others focus on how visibly I other myself or make known my differences, and interactions with the world remain limited on the basis of access and not wanting to find a surprise barrier when I'm around others. This duality shifted my focus to technology and the way the world can be experienced in a physically anonymous way. The intersection of technology and ability is a conversation about access and security, as well as a commentary on spaces that indiscriminately accept both abled and visibly and invisibly disabled people. The internet as a separate world for disabled people sparked my interest in how disabled people exist in the real world, and how this correlates to internet spaces as a disabled utopia. Game: Alienation. In the distant future, aliens coexist peacefully on Earth.This doesn't mean the day to day doings of Earth has changed for these aliens - No, the rigorous societal pressures of Earth continue to push the Alien inhabitants to struggle with day to day tasks. So, quite literally, take this plunge. Become the alien on Earth, fumbling through school, through friendship, through life, and join the struggle to make it daily. Play as an alien character with tasks to accomplish before your day, or energy, runs out. Do all of this while avoiding the gazes of your peers, watching for signs of your Alieninity and waiting for a chance to isolate you. This game will take the way the internet is a resource and shelter for disabled people and turn it into a relatable gaming experience for them. At the same time, the relatable experience for disabled people is a learning experience for abled people. The challenge of constraining your actions in a day to time or energy is something abled people are faced with less often and in less extreme ways than disabled people. The seemingly easy tasks paired with frustration will open dialogue about the perception we have of how easy we believe navigating life should be.

Abstract The first systematic account of alienation was in The Phenomenology of Spirit of Georg W. F. Hegel, where the terms Entäusserung (self‐externalization) and Entfremdung (estrangement) were adopted to denote Spirit's becoming other than itself in the realm of objectivity. Alienation still featured prominently in the writings of the Hegelian Left, and Ludwig Feuerbach's theory of religious alienation in The Essence of Christianity – that is, of man's projection of his own essence onto an imaginary deity – contributed to the development of the concept. But it subsequently disappeared from philosophical reflection, and none of the major thinkers of the second half of the nineteenth century paid it any great attention.
