Work, social bonding, and subject construction
Critical Approaches to Interrogating the Future of Work and Democracy

Work plays a central role in social life and people's experiences, not only as a factor of production or a source of livelihood, but as a space for constructing identity, relationships, and society. Beyond the important debates and analyses on the labor market and precarious employment, and beyond the strong instrumental and economistic reduction of the category of work produced by neoliberal political hegemony in recent decades, it is essential to open new spaces for conceptual elucidation on work and its normative dimensions and implications for individuals, society, and democratic politics in contemporary modernity.
