Work Want Work - J. A. Smith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Work Want Work - J. A. Smith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Work Want Work considers in captivating detail how a logic of work has become integral to everything we do, even as the place of formal work has become increasingly precarious. With reference to sociological data, philosophy, political theory, legislation, the testimonies of workers and an eclectic mix of cultural texts – from Lucian Freud to Google, Anthony Giddens to selfies, Jean-Luc Nancy to Amy Winehouse – Pfannebecker and Smith lay out how the capitalism of globalized technologies has put our time, our subjectivities, our experiences and our desires to work in unprecedented ways.As every part of life is colonized by work without securing our livelihoods, new questions need to be asked: whether a nostalgia for work can save us, how ideas of work change conceptions of political community, how employment and unemployment alike have become malemployment , and whether the work of our desire online can be disentangled from capitalist exploitation.The biggest question, at a time when the end of work and a fully automated future are proclaimed by Silicon Valley idealists as well as by social democratic politicians and left-wing theorists, is this: how can we propose a post-work society and culture that we will actually want?

Eclipse of Reason - Max Horkheimer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Eclipse of Reason - Max Horkheimer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In his most important work, Max Horkheimer surveys and demonstrates the gradual ascendancy of Reason in Western philosophy, its eventual total application to all spheres of life, and what he considers its present reified domination. First published in 1947, Horkheimer here explores the ways in Nazism - that most irrational of political movements - had co-opted ideas of rationality for its own ends. Ultimately, the book is a warning of the ways this might happen again and, as such, this is a book that has never appeared more timely.

Jesus against the Scribal Elite - Chris (st. Mary's University Keith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Jesus against the Scribal Elite - Chris (st. Mary's University Keith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

How did the controversy between Jesus and the scribal elite begin? We know that it ended on a cross, but what put Jesus on the radar of established religious and political leaders in the first place? Chris Keith argues that an answer to these questions must go beyond typical explanations such as Jesus''s alternative views on Torah or his miracle working and consider his status as a teacher.Keith examines Jesus'' own likely educational background, and situates Jesus within his first-century context, showing readers that some of the tensions between Jesus and the scribal authorities may have originated in Jesus'' own lack of formal education. Keith builds on his earlier work on Jesus'' literacy and uses insights from memory theory and ancient media studies to consider how Jesus'' actions and teachings may have specifically been seen to challenge an elitist scribal culture.

Decolonizing Social Work - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Decolonizing Social Work - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This open access edited collection provides a long-overdue examination of a practice that is continuously involved in managing, regulating, and subordinating individuals and communities. While it is well established that neoliberal systems of population management are designed to target the “constructed other,” there is considerably less research examining how social work in particular interacts with the vestiges of colonialism to further this practice. Gathering social work scholars and practitioners from around the world, this collection offers a geographically diverse array of ambitious and insightful theoretical, conceptual, and practical discussions of how social work can perpetuate the afterlives of colonialism and of how this can be reversed. In so doing, this book not only provides in-depth, empirically grounded critiques of – and antidotes to – various policies for managing people at the margins of society, it also makes a compelling case for always keeping the complexity of colonial continuity in conversation with neoliberal systems of governance. As these chapters show, it is only by keeping the full complexity of such confluences in mind that social inequality and institutional racism can be understood and that possibilities for change can emerge.For its fundamental contributions to the literature on postcolonial social work, this is essential reading for social work researchers and postgraduates; and for its plainspoken tone and practical recommendations, it is a go-to source for social work practitioners eager to align their own everyday work with the demands of global justice. Theebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Digital Work Platforms at the Interface of Labour Law - Eva Kocher - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Digital Work Platforms at the Interface of Labour Law - Eva Kocher - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This open access book shows how to design labour rights to effectively protect digital platform workers, organise accountability on digital work platforms, and guarantee workers’ collective representation and action. It acknowledges that digital work platforms entail enormous risks for workers, and at the same time it reveals the extent to which labour law is in need of reconstruction.The book focusses on the conceptual links – often overlooked in the past – between labour law’s categories and its regulatory approaches. By explaining and analysing the wealth of approaches that deconstruct and reconceptualise labour law, the book uncovers the organisational ideas that permeate labour law’s categories as well as its policy approaches in a variety of jurisdictions. These ideas reveal a lack of fit between labour law’s traditional concepts and digital platform work: digital work platforms rarely behave like hierarchical organisations; instead, they more often function as market organisers. The book provides a fresh perspective for international academic and policy debates on the regulation of digital work platforms, as well as on the purposes and foundations of labour law. It offers a way out of the impasse the debate around labour law classification has reached, by showing what labour law could learn from digital law approaches to platforms – and vice versa.
