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 markets
- Investigates 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 elsewhere
- Shows 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 place
- Deploys the concept of dislocation to extend the repertoire of labour analysis beyond that of dispossession and/or disorganization
