In unserem Beitrag unternehmen wir eine Gegenwartsanalyse aktueller Diskurse gegen Gleichstellungspolitik und Geschlechterforschung. Wir entfalten die Argumentation, dass Gleichstellungspolitik und ...Geschlechterforschung in diesen Diskursen für gesellschaftliche Veränderungen verantwortlich gemacht werden, die wir soziologisch als Prekarisierungsprozesse beschreiben. Wir betrachten diese Diskurse auf Grundlage dreier prekarisierungstheoretischer Perspektiven, wobei wir empirisch informiert theoretisch-begriffliche Überlegungen anstellen: Wir beginnen mit Perspektiven der Ungleichheits- und Arbeitssoziologie (2.1), die mit Prekarisierung den (ökonomisch, technologisch sowie) sozialpolitisch forcierten Ausbau unsicherer Beschäftigungsverhältnisse beschreiben. Es folgen geschlechtersoziologische Perspektiven (2.2), die veränderte Ungleichheiten und zentral die Prekarisierung des männlichen Ernährermodells sowie der Reproduktionssphäre fokussieren. Weiter argumentieren wir (2.3), dass diese Diskurse durch Irritationen der ‚doxischen Erfahrung‘ (Bourdieu) entstanden sind und die Geschlechterforschung attackiert wird, weil sie diese als bedrohend erlebten Irritationen forcierte. Die drei Perspektiven integrierend entwickeln wir schließlich ein erweitertes Prekarisierungskonzept (2.4), das sowohl die Ebene sozialstruktureller Ungleichheiten, die aus Prekarisierungsprozessen v.a. der fordistischen Trias aus Normalarbeit, Ernährermodell und deren sozialstaatlicher Absicherung resultieren, als auch die Ebene symbolischer Ordnungen (Doxa) umfasst. Abschließend (3) diskutieren wir die Ergebnisse und markieren weiteren Forschungsbedarf.
Excessive policing of borders and mobilities is one of the key features of current migration regimes in the global North and West. Using Austria as example, this article examines some of the links ...between the recent development of deportation policies and broad societal transformations--namely neoliberal restructuring. The main argument is that the new model of policing borders and mobilities can be meaningfully characterised as neoliberal in three respects: (i) its structure corresponds to a neoliberal political rationality, (ii) it is functional for current politico-economic relations, and (iii) it is promoted by the very social relations it contributes to. The paper builds on recent studies of how deportation regimes structure labour relations, but moves the focus from the economic function to the form and formation of deportation policies. Concerning the form of regulation, a comparison of current legal frameworks with those of the Cold-War era unveils some crucial features of newly emergent border regimes. First, policing has been massively extended and intensified; second, the criteria for differentiating the vulnerability to policing have grown in number and complexity; third, it is more and more mobility itself that is being policed; and, finally, the punitive turn affects mainly the margins of current global mobility, while the top and center enjoy increased security of residence and mobility rights. Regarding the formation of these new deportation policies, this article uses salient shifts in political discourse as a starting point to illustrate the complexity and context-dependency of the political processes involved.
Često se smatra da su rasprave o usklađivanju posla i obitelji usredotočene na žene i ljude iz srednje klase sa sigurnim radnim mjestom. Utvrđivanjem razlika među muškarcima u pogledu mogućnosti za ...angažirano očinstvo koje proizlaze iz njihova položaja na tržištu rada, u ovom članku predstavlja se perspektiva marginalizirane skupine na tržištu rada lišene privilegija, kao i kritički osvrt na utjecaj fleksibilizacije rada na skrbnički maskulinitet i rodnu ravnopravnost. Muškarci kao zaposlenici zauzimaju različite položaje na tržištu rada, a to utječe na njihov pristup socijalnim pravima, uključujući roditeljska prava, te mogućnosti za usklađivanje posla i skrbi. Budući da je prekarizacija tržišta rada istaknut problem u Sloveniji, ovim kvalitativnim istraživanjem, koje se temelji na istraživačkim dubinskim polustrukturiranim intervjuima s očevima zaposlenima u različitim oblicima prekarnog rada, analizirano je kako nesigurni i fleksibilni oblici rada oblikuju prakse očinstva, utječu na mogućnosti za angažirano očinstvo i strukturiraju rodne odnose. Iskustva očeva pokazala su da uvjeti prekarnog rada očevima omogućuju intenzivnu uključenost u skrb za djecu uglavnom u slučajevima kad je njihov posao blizak standardnom obliku rada u pogledu stabilnosti i predvidljivosti radnog vremena i zajamčenog opsega posla. Ako je posao potpuno fleksibilan i nepredvidljiv, a zaposlenik se nalazi u situaciji u kojoj takav posao može prihvatiti ili ga izgubiti, usklađivanje posla i očinstva otežano je jer je organizacija svakodnevnog života potpuno podređena plaćenom radu. Zaključno, pokazalo se da se prekarnim radnim odnosima potiču jačanje modela hranitelja i retradicionalizacija rodnih odnosa.
In modern developed and developing societies precarisation labor relations is extensive. This phenomenon has given rise to a new social group in the social structure of modern societies, called ...prekariat.
Is immersive performance art with its blurred identities, parallel worlds and transformational potential the perfect genre for hidden capitalist interests, bad working conditions and commercial ...branding? Following the motive of the veil, and the gesture of unveiling as form of critique, the article examines the relation between labour of performance art, commercial funding and subjectivation in late capitalism. Departing from the claim that the cultural worker – flexible, creative, innovative and self managing – is the role model of today’s neoliberal work ethos, the article analyses strategies of unveiling of the production conditions and work ethos of performance art today.
Este artigo apresenta a discussão do trabalho do assistente social na educação no contexto de ampliação do espaço ocupacional, marcado pelas transformações sociais e por suas implicações sobre a ...classe trabalhadora. Partindo da compreensão desse profissional como trabalhador assalariado, objetiva problematizar as expressões da precarização presentes em seu trabalho no espaço das Instituições Federais de Educação, na particularidade da assistência estudantil. As reflexões tecidas resultam de estudos teóricos e de uma pesquisa empírica realizada junto a profissionais de Serviço Social inseridos neste espaço ocupacional; possibilitando apreender que não estão imunes à precarização, expressa em seu trabalho, dentre outras formas, na sobrecarga de atividades, na cobrança por resultados imediatos e nas características da assistência estudantil como política focalizada e seletiva.
Research on precarious work and the working conditions of lowwage workers often stresses the role of the labour market or state institutions in either creating or exacerbating already precarious ...working conditions. However, it often ignores their organisational aspects. At the same time, in organisation studies there is a large body of literature that focuses on internal organisational structures but disregards working conditions. This article is based on a case study of supermarket cashiers and deals with the flexibilisation of their work. Firms use two forms of flexibility as a cost-cutting strategy: numerical and functional flexibility. Numerical flexibility divides workers into different groups according to their work contract. This enables firms to employ as much labour as they need at a particular point in time. In effect firms reduce the number of employees while intensifying the work of the employees they retain. In the case of functional flexibility the duties and responsibilities attached to a job are redefined. In this respect, I show that the duties of the cashiers in my case study are increased beyond the scope of tasks traditionally attached to this occupation and head towards the model of a universal worker. This shift leads to a decline in qualifications that, combined with technological changes, results in the degradation of work. As a result, flexibilisation processes deepen existing asymmetries in employer-employee relationships and thereby enable firms to transfer a significant amount of market risk onto the shoulders of workers. Moreover, the negotiating position of workers remains weak and their wages low.
