Manufacturing Consent revisited
Culture After Work? Intellectual Property in Post-Scarcity Discourses
Revisiting Manufacturing Consent with Paul Thompson
Few texts have done more to shape how sociologists and social theorists think about workplace politics, labour agency, the everyday production of cooperation and even the sociology of work than Michael Burawoy’s Manufacturing Consent . As a result, discussing it poses a two-fold challenge – of scope and of depth. The first requires a profound understanding of the theoretical foundation of industrial sociology on which Burawoy built. The second, i…
Returning to Manufacturing Consent 45 years on
We open the special section ‘Forty-five Years of Manufacturing Consent ’ by returning to Michael Burawoy’s Manufacturing Consent 45 years after its publication to ask why it remains both enduring and contested in the sociology of work. Burawoy’s core insight was that workplace order is not secured by control alone: consent can be organised through everyday routines, incentives, relationships, and ‘games’ that make work workable even when power is…
Gaming Hope
This article seeks to uncover Carys’ precarious experiences as a professional female footballer. To date, research has largely examined uncertain labour market conditions, processes and outcomes, often overlooking the ‘hope labour’ of skilled precarious workers who take present risks in anticipation of future opportunities. Carys’ story highlights the critical role of individual agency in navigating such hope labour. We find that although her job…
Can't Help Myself
This article navigates the confluence of advanced generative AI tools, the intensifying demands of academic research, and the concept of slow scholarship. It employs the artwork 'Can't Help Myself' by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu as a metaphor to discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by researchers in this rapidly changing landscape. The discussion explores the surveillance nature of AI tools, the evolving demands of academia, and the implicatio…
From schools of thought to an ecology of practices
In response to pressing societal challenges, scholars are increasingly focusing on research aimed at fostering sustainable futures. We contribute to that discussion by theorizing the circular economy (CE) as an “ecology of practices.” The ecology of practices concept helps to make sense of a developing field that has been heavily practitioner‐driven. Through an analysis of the diverse CE practices in analytical and operational contexts, we invest…
Introduction to March’s Theme
This month we are publishing a volume of thoughtful and thought-provoking pieces that address the challenges of studying time as it becomes rational in social contexts
Culture After Work? Intellectual Property in Post-Scarcity Discourses
The Contemporaneity of Class Relations
‘Class’ is a fiendishly complex and dynamic concept. This is of course true for those working with and through class explicitly, but perhaps even more so for those of us working on social issues in general. We often hear talk of ‘the’ working class, ‘the’ middle classes, or indeed ‘the’ capitalist class, which can give the impression that they are pre-determined, even static, categories; or that their very nature is something inherited, passed do…
