Beskrivning
The contributors to this volume interrogate the labour/capital relation exploring the ways in which industrial outsourcing and subcontracting transform the conditions, possibilities and politics of work. Discusses the effects of economic deregulation on agricultural economies and on local marketsInvestigates the manner in which migration changes understandings of productive power in places that once depended on the physical and social energies of people who now labour elsewhereShows how the appearance and/or disappearance of waged work alters not only the foundational notions of the relationship between productive and reproductive labour, but also of personhood, citizenship and placeDeploys the concept of dislocation to extend the repertoire of labour analysis beyond that of dispossession and/or disorganizationArgues that a renewed focus on ‘labour,’ as both a social category and a social practice, offers a window for grasping key contemporary material, affective, moral, social and political processes
