Drawing upon contemporary academic debates about nonprofit worker precarity combined with needed theoretical re-orientations toward transparency, this paper explicates the situated communication practices and politics of resistant transparency. Resistant transparency describes communication aimed at revealing and publicizing previously obscured or hidden wage data and employment conditions to challenge powerful actors. Resistant transparency involves dynamic shifts in control over information, modes of in/visibility, and surveillance of powerful actors. We develop the case of Art + Museum Transparency, a collective of arts and museum workers employing Google spreadsheets and Twitter to publicize salary information and challenge norms of self-sacrifice and unpaid labor. Moving beyond an understanding of transparency as an institutional demand, our analysis develops how technical affordances shaped the collective’s efforts. We argue that transparency functions as a resistant communicative practice with potential for increasing worker voice and furthering the goals of collective resistance to precarious work across sites of employment.

结合当代关于非营利性工作者pre可危的学术辩论，并结合对透明度的必要理论重新定位，本文阐述了存在的沟通实践和抵制性透明度的政治。抵制性的透明度描述了旨在揭示和宣传先前模糊或隐藏的工资数据和就业条件以挑战有权势的行为者的沟通。抵制透明性涉及对信息的控制，不可见/可见性模式以及对强大角色的监视的动态变化。我们开发了Art + Museum Transparency（艺术+博物馆透明度）案例，该组织是一群艺术和博物馆工作人员，他们使用Google电子表格和Twitter来宣传工资信息，并挑战自我牺牲和无偿劳动的规范。超越了对透明度作为制度要求的理解，我们的分析发展了技术能力如何影响集体的努力。我们认为，透明度是一种反抗性的交流行为，有可能增加工人的声音并进一步促进集体抵抗跨就业场所的不稳定工作的目标。
