Space, Place and Global Digital Work - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Space, Place and Global Digital Work - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This edited volume seeks to enhance our understanding of the concepts of space and place in the study of digital work. It argues that while digital work is often presented as 'placeless', work always takes place somewhere with a certain degree of local embeddedness. Contributors to this collection address restructuring processes that bring about delocalised digital work and point out limitations to dislocation inherent in the work itself, and the social relations or the physical artefacts involved. Exploring the dynamics of global value chains and shifts in the international division of labour, this book explores the impact these have on employment and working conditions, workers' agency in shaping and coping with changes in work, and the new competencies needed in virtual organisational environments. Combining different disciplinary perspectives, the volume teases out the spatial aspects of digital work at different scales ranging from team level to that of globalproduction networks.

Gender, Work and Social Control - Jackie Gulland - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Work and Social Control - Jackie Gulland - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book uses previously unknown archive materials to explore the meaning of the term ''incapable of work'' over a hundred years (1911-present). Nowadays, people claiming disability benefits must undergo medical tests to assess whether or not they are capable of work. Media reports and high profile campaigns highlight the problems with this system and question whether the process is fair. These debates are not new and, in this book, Jackie Gulland looks at similar questions about how to assess people''s capacity for work from the beginning of the welfare state in the early 20th century. Amongst many subject areas, she explores women''s roles in the domestic sphere and how these were used to consider their capacity for work in the labour market. The book concludes that incapacity benefit decision making is really about work: what work is, what it is not, who should do it, who should be compensated when work does not provide a sufficient income and who should be exempted from any requirement to look for it.

Cash-in-Hand Work - C. Williams - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Cash-in-Hand Work - C. Williams - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Uncovering how cash-in-hand economies are composed of not only the underground sector (work akin to formal employment conducted for profit-motivated purposes), but also a hidden economy of favours more akin to mutual aid, this book displays the need to transcend conventional market-oriented readings of cash-in-hand work and radically rethink whether seeking its eradication through tougher regulations is always appropriate. It argues for a variegated policy approach that recognizes these two distinct forms of cash-in-hand work and which tailors policy accordingly.

The Cultural Work of Corporations - M. Brown - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Cultural Work of Corporations - M. Brown - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Cultural Work of Corporations argues that corporate culture - the values, customs, and conventions of a business organization - has altered how workers conduct themselves both inside and outside the workplace. Brown demonstrates that corporate culture, an idea celebrated by business magazines and books, human resources departments, executives, and management theorists, is really a means of extending and strengthening work''s presence in all aspects of workers'' lives, even aspects generally categorized as private. Innovative in its execution, this book draws together a range of literature and information, including popular advice books, organizational theory, fiction, corporate mission statements, business histories, and economic histories.

The Cultural Work of the Late Nineteenth-Century Hostess - S. Harris - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Cultural Work of the Late Nineteenth-Century Hostess - S. Harris - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Cultural Work of the Late Nineteenth-Century Hostess explores the influence well-placed, energetic women had on literary and political culture in the U.S. and in England in the years 1870-1920. Fields, an American, was first married to James T. Fields, a prominent Boston publisher; after his death she became companion to Sarah Orne Jewett, one of the foremost New England writers. Gladstone was a daughter of William Gladstone, one of Great Britain''s most famous Prime Ministers. Both became well known as hostesses, entertaining the leading figures of their day; both also kept journals and wrote letters in which they recorded those figures'' conversations. Susan K. Harris reads these records to exhibit the impact such women had on the cultural life of their times. The Cultural Work of the Late Nineteenth-Century Hostess shows how Fields and Gladstone negotiated alliances, won over key figures to their parties'' designs, and fought to develop major cultural institutions ranging from the Organization of Boston Charities to London''s Royal College of Music.

Men’s Work - L. Zionkowski - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Men’s Work - L. Zionkowski - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines how the concept of the poet as a male professional emerged during the Restoration and eighteenth century. Analyzing works by writers from Rochester to Johnson, Linda Zionkowski argues that the opportunities for publication created by the growth of a commercial market in texts profoundly challenged aristocratic conceptions of authorship and altered the status of professional poets on the hierarchies of class and gender. The book proposes that during this period, discourse about the poet''s social role both revealed and produced a crucial shift in configurations of masculinity: the belief that commodifying their mental labor undermined writers'' cultural authority gave way to a celebration of the market''s function as the proving ground for both literary merit and bourgeois manhood.
