Annalisa Murgia. Hybrid Labour: Measuring, Classifying, and Representing Workers at the Boundaries of Employment and Self-employment
Secondo Eurostat (2023), circa il 6% della forza lavoro nell'UE impiegato nella gig economy, una percentuale che sale fino al 12% in paesi come i Paesi Bassi e la Spagna.La gig economy riattualizza un paradosso storico: la promessa di autonomia lavorativa si trasforma in dispositivi di controllo subdoli, come dimostrano gli studi di Rosenblat e Stark (2016) su Uber e i rider analizzati da Woodcock (2021) evidenziando le contraddizioni della retor…
Enhancement or impoverishment? Algorithmic management and ‘distance’ education during the pandemic: Theoretical and interpretive hypotheses
This article aims to develop some interpretative hypotheses on the transformation of education that digitalisation and neoliberalism have brought about in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We draw on changes in the Italian education system to outline the general, structural trend. In order to illustrate how transformations in the education system can be viewed as a process of capitalist valorisation, we present the insights offered by a set o…
Pour une ontologie précaire. Une approche orientée vers la subjectivité
Les dernières décennies ont été marquées par l’émergence d’une vaste littérature sur les processus de précarisation. Deux grands axes de recherche ont marqué les approches sociologiques. Le premier - développé principalement dans le domaine de la sociologie économique - s’est concentré sur la “précarité” du travail étudiée dans les dimensions structurelles qui ont progressivement érodé le régime d’emploi fordiste pour une partie croissante de la …
Conceptualizing Precariousness: A Subject-oriented Approach
L’enseignement à distance: Enseigner avec des machines
L’article décrit l’impact, lors de la formation à distance, de l’introduction massive et capillaire des machines numériques dans le travail des enseignants et des étudiants et sur la « qualité » de l’expérience de formation. Certains concepts du sociologue Romano Alquati sont mis au travail et on tente d’imaginer leurs évolutions, et en même temps on s’interroge sur les transformations subjectives de la figure de l’enseignant (au milieu du change…
Vagues de luttes dans le travail. Décomposition et recomposition des pratiques de recherche dans les Universités
L'article explore la relation entre le capital néolibéral, la technologie numérique et l'enseignement supérieur, sa capacité à décomposer le travail, ainsi que les conditions de sa propre recomposition
Du risque à la performance. Dispositifs, mesures, génération de valeur, production et inclusion différentielle
L’article explore le rapport entre néo-libéralisme, avènement de la société de la performance, production de valeur et formes d’« inclusion différentielle »
Digital Platforms and Algorithmic Subjectivities
Algorithms are a form of productive power – so how may we conceptualise the newly merged terrains of social life, economy and self in a world of digital platforms? How do multiple self-quantifying practices interact with questions of class, race and gender? This edited collection considers algorithms at work – for what purposes encoded data about behaviour, attitudes, dispositions, relationships and preferences are deployed – and black box contro…
La Formation et la Reproduction des capacités humaines dans la pensée de Romano Alquati
L’article traite de l’importance assumée par la question de la formation (de la reproduction à la capacité active vivante), dans la dernière période de Romano Alquati. On aborde également le problème de l’appauvrissement de la subjectivité qui, selon l’auteur, serait provoquée par la numérisation des processus d’éducation
Pandemic city. Hypothèses et interprétations pour une enquête sur les dualismes de l’espace urbain
Qu’est-ce que la ville pandémique ? Dans quels éléments la reconnaissons-nous ? Lors de l’émergence de la pandémie, la propagation de la peur et de la menace, liée à toute situation de proximité et de contact physique, semble nous pousser à accepter le récit dominant selon lequel les technologies numériques sont le meilleur, le seul moyen possible de protéger nos vies de la contagion. L’article propose l’hypothèse interprétative que pendant la pa…
La fabrique de la connaissance et des précarités. Réflexions à partir d’une auto-enquête dans l’Université au temps de la crise
Inspirés par la mobilisation sur les “savoirs précaires”, Emiliana Armano, Sandro Busso et Paola Rivetti réfléchissent à la manière dont les récentes réformes universitaires ont non seulement réduit les fonds et les ressources, mais ont également remodelé l’élaboration même des connaissances au sein des universités, qui sont aujourd’hui investies par un processus invasif de formatage et de quantification des expériences (qu’il s’agisse de formati…
The social production of radical space: Machinic labour struggles against digital spatial abstractions
In this article, we explore the antagonism between capital and labour from a distinctive spatial and connective perspective: by examining the tension between the production of digital abstract space in the context of machines and computational automation, and the powerful pushbacks of embodied labour struggles of gig-economy workers advancing alternative connective strategies. Our goal is to advance a spatial approach to digital labour practices …
Mapping Precariousness, Labour Insecurity and Uncertain Livelihoods: Subjectivities and Resistance
Mapping precariousness: Subjectivities and resistance
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book aims to offer different perspectives on the phenomenon as it gives rise to a variety of responses and interpretations that are shaped by the historical trajectories and geographical locations of the subjects affected by it. It explains an accent on subjectivity and how it intersects the ongoing transformation in the experiences a…
The precariousness of knowledge workers (Part 2): Forms and critiques of autonomy and self-representation
This article introduces the second of a two-part Special Issue of this journal on the precariousness of knowledge workers. It aims to explore the ambivalences and liminal relations among autonomy, identification and task orientation, which – for knowledge workers – represent both a source of self-realisation and a generator of multiple and distinctive forms of precariousness. In particular, we focus on the forms and critiques of autonomy and self…

The precariousness of knowledge workers: Hybridisation, self-employment and subjectification
In knowledge-based industries, work is circumscribed by the cognitive frames of creativity in the representations of subjects, but simultaneously demands adaptability, in a context in which deregulation and individualisation are now normal. The ethics of self-activation are therefore inextricably intertwined with the demands of intensification, standardisation and self-commodification. The first volume of this Special Issue – which is made up of …
Precarious Passion or Passionate Precariousness? Narratives from co-research in Journalism and Editing
In journalism and editing, as one particular field of cognitive and knowledge labour, workers' experiences of passion and precarisation lay closely together, as the work organisation is more and more dominated by market imperatives and labour control restructured as a mix of blackmailing and subjectification. Based on a co-research process and informed bythe theoretical concept of biopolitics, this article analyses workers' daily coping practice…
The precariousnesses of young knowledge workers: A subject-oriented approach
Over the past decades, a number of EU member states have recorded large rises in the use of temporary employment. Young people are far more likely than other groups to be employed in precarious jobs, independently of their education and skills. In the midst of the global economic-financial crisis, in fact, the assault on the conditions of knowledge workers goes on, according to the different lines of the neoliberalistic logics, which juxtapose wi…

Occupy in Valsusa: Pratiques sociales et de lutte du mouvement No Tav
Depuis plusieurs années, habitants et militants de la vallée de Suse s'opposent à la construction d'une ligne à grande vitesse entre la France et l'Italie. La réaction des autorités est quasi-militaire mais le faible avancement des travaux ne justifie pas un tel emportement. La lutte expérimente pas à pas les nouveaux concepts de la construction du commun
