The authors seek to critically reflect on the meaning of work in a globally emancipated society. They start by arguing that work is a central issue for human societies, whether to produce socially useful goods, to provide basic needs or as the making, objectification, and safeguarding of ontological humanization of Mankind itself – even if in the field of socialist politics this centrality has been overshadowed by programs mainly focused on the defense of assistentialism, philanthropy, or even charity. To conceive work today, in the current stage of the capitalist society, we have to mobilize several concepts, methods, and areas of knowledge, among which the authors highlight critical sociology, global labor history, and psychodynamics of work. Finally, they argue about what would be the fundamental aspects of work in an emancipated society. |
