La trama del capital
Los aportes de las investigaciones que presenta este libro, realizadas en la última década, recuperan la centralidad de la noción de hegemonía empresaria como modo de aprehensión de las tendencias y actuaciones registradas en el cotidiano laboral y extralaboral. Los estudios se han desarrollado en empresas transnacionales y se han nutrido de un importante corpus empírico a partir de una estrategia cualitativa, y en especial de abordajes etnográficos. En ese contexto, se analizan los sistemas corporativos en las diferentes filiales, en tanto políticas y herramientas articuladas sistémicamente que contribuyen a sostener la hegemonía empresaria. Esta noción es clave para analizar la ...
La memoria del futuro
Chile, 18 de octubre de 2019: una protesta popular sin precedentes sacude el sistema neoliberal mantenido desde el fin de la dictadura de Pinochet. 4 de septiembre de 2022: la propuesta constitucional elaborada por la Asamblea Constituyente surgida del estallido social es rechazada en referéndum. Durante estos tres años, los movimientos sociales se han politizado con una determinación ejemplar, alimentando los debates dentro y fuera de la Asamblea Constituyente. La experiencia política así adquirida, rica en enseñanzas que van mucho más allá de Chile, abre una vía original, la de la reinvención de la democracia entendida como tarea de toda la ciudadanía, y no como monopolio de los políticos profesionales. Esta reinvención continúa. Requiere imaginación política para rehuir todo y cualquier intento de restaurar un lejano pasado idealizado o de replicar los recientes gobiernos «progresistas». Las feministas chilenas llaman a ese ejercicio «memoria del futuro».

Free Trade and Transnational Labour
Resistance against free trade agreements based on an expanded trade agenda, including issues related to intellectual property rights, trade in services and trade-related investment measures, has increased since the demonstrations at the WTO ministerial conference in Seattle in 1999. While the WTO Doha negotiations have broken down, the EU and USA are increasingly engaged in bilateral free trade agreements, building on this expanded trade agenda. Free trade strategies have increasingly become a problem for the international labour movement. While trade unions in the North, especially in manufacturing, have supported free trade agreements to secure export markets for their companies, trade unions in the Global South oppose these agreements, since they often imply deindustrialisation. The purpose of this volume is to understand better these dynamics underlying free trade policy-making. Academics, trade union researchers and social movement activists analyse these issues in detail in order to explore possibilities for transnational labour solidarity. This book was published as a special issue of Globalizations.

Gender, Care and Economics
This book offers a radical critique of mainstream, Marxist and feminist economic theories, ranging from the classical liberal economics of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the feminist debates about domestic labour and patriarchy in the late twentieth century. It explores the increasing importance of household care relations, especially childcare, in shaping the domestic labour process. Trends in household gender relations and working patterns in Britain are explored in the context of political ideas and policies regarding the state, the economy, gender and care.
