Beskrivning
Primarily on the basis of ethnographic case-studies from around the world, this volume links investigations of work to questions of personal and professional identity and social relations. In the era of digitalized neoliberalism, particular attention is paid to notions of freedom, both collective (in social relations) and individual (in subjective experiences). These cannot be investigated separately. Rather than juxtapose economy with ethics (or the profitable with the good), the authors uncover complex entanglements between the drudgery experienced by most people in the course of making a living and ideals of emancipated personhood.

Recensioner i media

“This is an extremely important contribution to the anthropology of work. Unlike most existing approaches which focus on ‘labor’ as exploitation and alienation processes, the chapters in this collection explore the multiple valuations of work and the ambivalence often present in them.” • Susana Narotzky, Universitat de Barcelona
