Arpenter les lieux de la mémoire ouvrière et paysanne, explorer les nouveaux terrains de l’emploi tertiaire, inventorier et réinventer les langues qui façonnent le monde de l’usine et de l’entreprise : tel est souvent le programme des textes fictionnels ou documentaires consacrés au travail depuis les années 80. Ces ouvrages ont retenu l’attention de la critique universitaire récente. Manquait cependant encore une étude de fond consacrée à ce qui est pourtant un des enjeux fondamentaux de ces textes : leur portée politique. Ce volume s’attache donc à interroger les formes de l’implication qu’ils mettent en œuvre, de l’examen critique du monde social à l’élaboration d’un discours tourné vers la praxis. Il espère ainsi contribuer à penser les rapports de la littérature contemporaine au politique ; et, par là même, participer à l’élaboration d’une cartographie du champ littéraire au tournant du millénaire. To walk in the path of the industrial and rural working-class memory, to explore the new fields of tertiary employment, to survey and reinvent the languages that shape the factory and the company: such have often been the aims of fictional or documentary texts on labor since the 1980s. These works have caught the attention of recent academic critics. Remained nevertheless lacking an in-depth study on what is though a fundamental issue of these texts: their political reach. This volume interrogates the forms of implications they set in motion, from critically examining the social world to constructing a discourse aimed towards praxis. It thus examines the relations between contemporary literature and politics. In the same way, it elaborates a literary cartography at the turn of the millennium, through a panoramic corpus, of the movement of literature’s re-politicization as initiated by the business novel genre. Borrowing the humanities’ tools to reflect on capitalism’s metamorphosis, it offers new forms of legibility in reality, while posing anew the question of…

For much of the twentieth century, the iconic figure of the U.S. working class was a white, male industrial worker. But in the contemporary age of capitalist globalization new stories about work and workers are emerging to refashion this image. Living Labor examines these narratives and, in the process, offers an innovative reading of American fiction and film through the lens of precarious work. It argues that since the 1980s, novelists and filmmakers—including Russell Banks, Helena Víramontes, Karen Tei Yamashita, Francisco Goldman, David Riker, Ramin Bahrani, Clint Eastwood, Courtney Hunt, and Ryan Coogler—have chronicled the demise of the industrial proletariat, and the tentative and unfinished emergence of a new, much more diverse and perilously positioned working class. In bringing together stories of work that are also stories of race, ethnicity, gender, and colonialism, Living Labor challenges the often-assumed division between class and identity politics. Through the concept of living labor and its discussion of solidarity, the book reframes traditional notions of class, helping us understand both the challenges working people face and the possibilities for collective consciousness and action in the global present.
