Farewell to Work?
"Farewell to Work? presents the large process of capital's productive restructuring, triggered in the 1970s. A process with tendencies to both intellectualize labour power and increase the levels of working class' precariousness, on a global scale. Its main hypothesis is that instead of work's loss of centrality in contemporary capitalism, when the world of production is analysed in its global dimension, including countries in North and South, a substantial process of growing heterogeneity, complexity and fragmentation is observed. This configures a new morphology of the working class. Therefore, at the same time that new mechanisms are created to generate surplus labour, there is, simultaneously, an increment in casualisation and unemployment, pushed by a process of corrosion of labour rights"--
Farewell to Work?
Farewell to Work? presents the new morphology of the working class, the substantial process of growing heterogeneity, complexity and fragmentation that labour has gone through since the 1970s.
The Meanings of Work
Contrary to the affirmation of the end of labour, The Meanings of Work explore the complexity of the working class today; the sexual division of labour and transversalities between the dimensions of class and gender; globalisation of capital and labour.
The Meanings of Work: Essays on the Affirmation and Negation of Work
Billions of men and women depend exclusively on their labour to survive. For them work is not a choice, and yet the restructuring of the global economy has forced increasing numbers into unemployment and eroded the rights and economic gains of those still on the job. What does this increasing precariousness mean for today's labour markets?
Work, Protest, and Identity in Twentieth-century Latin America
This text takes a novel approach to labor. Rather than examine the labor movement, labor unions, and labor organizing, Work, Protest, and Identity in Twentieth-Century Latin America sets work in the context of social history in Latin America. It combines a chronological approach with a topical one to clarify how work is related to other themes in daily Latin American life-themes such as gender, race, family life, ethnicity, immigration, politics, industrial and agricultural growth, and religion. The essays in this collection bring together original studies and published works that illustrate the tensions and conflicts between work, identity, and community that caused protest to take many different forms in Latin American countries. Designed to give students a better appreciation for the complexity of the lives of the wage-working sectors of society and the richness of their contributions to the cultures and nations of the region, Work, Protest, and Identity in Twentieth-Century Latin America is essential for courses on the social history of Latin America, state formation, labor and protest, and surveys of modern Latin America.
Transforming Classes
For more than half a century, the Socialist Register has brought together some of the sharpest thinkers from around the globe to address the pressing issues of our time. Founded by Ralph Miliband and John Saville in London in 1964, SR continues their commitment to independent and thought-provoking analysis, free of dogma or sectarian positions. Transforming Classes is a compendium of socialist thought today and a clarifying account of class struggle in the early twenty-first-century, from China to the United States.
Riqueza e miséria do trabalho no Brasil IV
Riqueza e miséria do trabalho no Brasil v. IV, coletânea organizada pelo sociólogo e professor da Unicamp Ricardo Antunes, explora os novos desenhos das relações de trabalho. Os artigos aqui reunidos, escritos por intelectuais como Ricardo Festi e Luci Praun, indagam-se sobre os rumos da nova morfologia do trabalho com as significativas transformações laborativas que caracterizam o capitalismo na era informacional-digital.
Os sentidos do trabalho
Em Os sentidos do trabalho, Ricardo Antunes demonstra que a sociedade do trabalho abstrato possibilitou, por meio da constituição de uma massa de trabalhadores expulsos do processo produtivo, a aparência da sociedade fundada no descentramento da categoria trabalho e na perda de centralidade do ato laborativo no mundo contemporâneo. O autor também alerta, porém, para o fato de que o entendimento das mutações em curso no mundo operário nos obriga a ir além das aparências. Ao fazer isso, lembra que o sentido dado ao trabalho pelo capital é completamente diverso do sentido atribuído pela humanidade.

Riqueza e miséria do trabalho no Brasil IV
Riqueza e miséria do trabalho no Brasil v. IV, coletânea organizada pelo sociólogo e professor da Unicamp Ricardo Antunes, explora os novos desenhos das relações de trabalho. Os artigos aqui reunidos, escritos por intelectuais como Ricardo Festi e Luci Praun, indagam-se sobre os rumos da nova morfologia do trabalho com as significativas transformações laborativas que caracterizam o capitalismo na era informacional-digital.Na primeira parte, o principal elemento tematizado é o trabalhador digital (infoproletariado ou ciberproletariado), levando em conta a expropriação do tempo de trabalho e de vida por empresas globais e a explosão do trabalho intermitente (zero-hour contract). Já na segunda parte, os artigos direcionam-se para a particularidade brasileira: as relações de gênero e classe, os adoecimentos, os desafios para a juventude que trabalha e o mito do 'empreendedorismo'.Por fim, na terceira e última parte, as lutas de resistência são evidenciadas. As greves no contexto global e suas inter-relações com as distintas regiões e a experiência emblemática das fábricas ocupadas finalizam esta coletânea.
