Labour and Employment in a Globalising World
This collection of essays provides new insight into the complex realities of labour and employment market globalisation. The pluridisciplinary and multi-faced understanding of globalisation is based upon ground research in ten countries from South to North. Its contextualisation of globalising labour and employment market, perceived as process, constitutes the originality of the book. Globalisation is understood through a single process of both standardisation and differentiation, which also underscores its political agenda. The globalising process incorporates trends of convergent and somewhat undifferentiated Southern and Northern situations in labour and employment. Strong political perspectives thereby emerge to help understand changes in current capitalism and question the longstanding North to South paradigm. As labour and employment markets standardise and differentiate, what other problematical threads can be pulled to strengthen the hypothesis that trends converge within a single globalising process? The comparative concepts and tools proposed in this volume help to answer these queries.
The Realities and Futures of Work
What do we know about the current realities of work and its likely futures? What choices must we make and how will they affect those futures? Many books about the future of work start by talking about the latest technology, and focus on how technology is going to change the way we work. And there is no doubt that technology will have huge impacts. However, to really understand the direction in which work is going, and the impact that technology and other forces will have, we need to first understand where we are. This book covers topics ranging from the ‘mega-drivers of change’ at work, power, globalisation and financialisation, to management, workers, digitalisation, the gig economy, ge...
Universal Basic Income in Historical Perspective
This new edited collection brings together historians and social scientists to engage with the global history of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and offer historically-rich perspectives on contemporary debates about the future of work. In particular, the book goes beyond a genealogy of a seemingly utopian idea to explore how the meaning and reception of basic income proposals has changed over time. The study of UBI provides a prism through which we can understand how different intellectual traditions, political agents, and policy problems have opened up space for new thinking about work and welfare at critical moments. Contributions range broadly across time and space, from Milton Friedman and ...

Talairan en Corbières
M. Puget n'est pas un inconnu pour le public audois. Instituteur à Tournissan pendant plus de 20 ans, il a été l'initiateur dans l'Aude de la "pédagogie active" préconisée par Célestin Freinet et le promoteur de méthodes originales fondées sur l'exploration et l'étude du milieu local. Durant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, les élèves de M. et Mme Puget relatèrent au jour le jour les évènements survenus dans leur village et les conditions d'existence de ses habitants. Toutes ces "rédactions" ont été regroupées et publiées en 1978 sous le titre "Les écoliers de Tournissan". Depuis longtemps M. Puget projetait de consacrer un ouvrage à Talairan, patrie de sa femme, où ils s...
The Immaterial
We live in a world where material products have increasingly become vehicles for intangible symbolic and aesthetic messages. A very sizeable marketing and advertising industry produces only images and symbols---the immaterial dimension that `sells' material commodities. The economic boom that accelerated in the 1990s and crashed so spectacularly in 2008 was based largely on immaterial consumption, as capitalism tried to overcome the crisis of the Fordist regime by throwing itself into the new, so-called knowledge economy. --
Common
Around the globe, contemporary protest movements are contesting the oligarchic appropriation of natural resources, public services, and shared networks of knowledge and communication. These struggles raise the same fundamental demand and rest on the same irreducible principle: the common. In this exhaustive account, Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval show how the common has become the defining principle of alternative political movements in the 21st century. In societies deeply shaped by neoliberal rationality, the common is increasingly invoked as the operative concept of practical struggles creating new forms of democratic governance. In a feat of analytic clarity, Dardot and Laval dissect ...
Penser le politique en Amérique latine. La recréation des espaces et des formes du politique
Le temps de la politique aurait-il expiré ? Ou alors, le politique ne se serait-il pas déplacé ailleurs que dans les lieux historiquement établis pour le domestiquer ? C'est autour de ces questions que s'organise cet ouvrage réunissant des chercheurs d'horizons disciplinaires variés, soucieux de réfléchir à la question du politique en l'Amérique latine de ce début de millénaire. Loin du champ constitué de la politique, les analyses ici présentées montrent l'indétermination des formes et des espaces de constitution du politique, la porosité des frontières entre les "champs" du social, les pratiques visibles ou silencieuses de décalage qui sont autant d'occasions de surgisse...
