Trabajo y sindicalismo en la cadena logística
Este número monográfico pretende contribuir al debate acerca de la acción sindical en las cadenas logísticas prestando atención al modo en que los contextos laborales específicos —marcados por sistemas socio-técnicos, la posición en la cadena logística, sistemas de regulación del trabajo y la existencia de tradiciones sindicales— influyen en la conformación de formas particulares de agencia espacial en los trabajadores(Herod, 2001; Strauss, 2020;…
Multiescalaridad y poder territorial como ejes de renovación en el sindicalismo portuario
Este artículo estudia un caso de renovación sindical en el contexto portuario español, aplicando la perspectiva de la geografía laboral. A partir de entrevistas cualitativas, análisis documental y trabajo de campo etnográfico, analiza en clave espacial las estrategias de la Coordinadora Estatal de Trabajadores del Mar, un caso exitoso de revitalización sindical que ha logrado importantes cotas de representatividad. El artículo identifica dos elem…
The Crisis of Movement
The COVID-19 Pandemic issued a cascading crisis in the transport sector and has signified a wholesale reconfiguration of global supply chains. In studying supply chains, anthropological scholarship has tended to focus on tracking particular commodities as they move from producer to consumer. The central sites of circulation that enable this very movement of goods, however, remain understudied. Container ports in particular are key nodes where the…
Piling Up
Hege Høyer Leivestad investigates the political economy of piled-up administrative paperwork in facilitating and mediating the movement of container ships in southern Spain
Past the canal
The shipping container
When the Ever Given became stuck in the Suez Canal, the megaship was carrying 18,300 rectangular, steel boxes on her back. In the weeks and months after the incident, the concealed contents of the shipping containers – stuck in legal limbo – captured global attention. Technologically developed in the years after the Second World War, the standardized shipping container has featured as one of the protagonists of the transformations in internationa…
Who cares about the cargo?
While the shipping container has been hyped as the most potent symbol of global trade, it is simultaneously a unit of measure, a medium of exchange, and a material abstraction of heterogeneous use value. This article places the container and its anonymized cargo as part of the everyday logistics of commodity circulation in the Spanish Port of Algeciras Bay—a transshipment hub at the Strait of Gibraltar. By disentangling the shipping container’s m…
Inside container economies
This introduction proposes an anthropology of global cargo circulation by placing the maritime shipping industry at the center of global capitalism. With “container economies” we refer to the maritime global circulation of cargo that is sustained by an undervalued labor force, dependent upon unstable logistics infrastructures and driven by speculative capital. Container economies, we argue, are produced by adding, moving, and destroying value thr…
Kinship on the waterfront
This article examines how kinship forms a contested element of labour under capitalist distribution. The focus of the article is on a thriving Spanish container port where the dockworker collective has been steadily growing since the multinational companies first arrived in the 1970s. In the wake of containerization - a standardized system of freight transport based on the intermodal shipping container - dock work has been revalued and become att…
A 20 dollar note
This article examines the career narratives of entrepreneurs with migrant background in the Swedish business sector. Statistics show that the proportion of individuals with a migrant background who reach so-called top-positions in Swedish society is in general low. Migrants with Iranian background is an exception as many of them have reached high positions as professionals in business corporations and themselves established high-profile businesse…
The Hidden Lives of Mobile Dwellings
Campsite Migrants
Based on ethnographic fieldwork amongst British migrants on a Spanish Camping and caravan site, this article argues that the home is a productive entrance point for understanding the dynamics of this form of migration. Whilst campsites are planned and legally regulated as leisure spheres for mobile camping, touring caravans provide an affordable option for migrants otherwise excluded from the Spanish property market. In this article, I show how e…
