Abstract

Technological advancements in the West since the last millennium have contributed to global modernity. Technologies set conditions for the closeness of the nation-states and for the affinity of the global and the local. They are also penetrating everyday life, and even sometimes the body, producing radical social changes. Yet, arguing that new technologies bring a new life and a promising future to global societies remains a questionable thesis. This book attempts to explore the relationship between new technologies and global societies, to gain an understanding of how the positive as well a

Abstract

Dans les arcanes de la reproduction, Fortunati dévoile en filigrane une analyse marxiste hétérodoxe de la sphère de la production et de la reproduction de la force de travail dans le capitalisme. Elle montre que le processus de valorisation et d'accumulation du capital ne se limite pas au travail salarié mais affecte toutes les dimensions de la vie sociale et repose notamment sur le travail domestique et le travail du sexe, deux domaines principalement réservés aux femmes. Ce livre est une hérésie qui manie les catégories marxiennes sans dogmatisme en utilisant les armes de la critique féministe. Il propose un examen systématique explorant les rapports réels que le capital entretient en secret avec les pourvoyeuses de soins, de sourires et de sexe. L’apparente naturalité de l’amour et du couple est une puissante idéologie qui invisibilise le fonctionnement et la fonction de la famille capitaliste. Portée par l’ambition de démystifier l’arcane de la reproduction, Fortunati fait apparaître dans toute sa complexité le processus de (re)production de la marchandise force de travail qui est en jeu derrière la subordination des femmes. Rejetant la thèse du travail ménager improductif, cette démonstration théorique audacieuse rabat les cartes de la théorie de la valeur et soutient que l’extorsion de la plus-value domestique est cruciale à l’accumulation du capital. Le monde de la reproduction s’impose comme le miroir de la production, comme un lieu bombardé par mille comportements de rébellion, comme le rejet de la maternité, du mariage ou de l’hétérosexualité. L’attention portée ici à la crise de la famille sous l’impact de la restructura­tion et des luttes est à la fois une archéologie du présent et un atout pour penser un changement de cap féministe révolutionnaire. Aux antipodes des approches libérales et de la gauche masculine, Fortunati appuie la lutte contre le travail, à partir du travail domestique et du travail du sexe, pour la destruction définitive du travail.

Abstract

Addressing several issues that explore the human side of social robots, this book asks from a social and human scientific perspective what a social robot is and how we might come to think about social robots in the different areas of everyday life. Organized around three sections that deal with Perceptions and Attitudes to Social Robots, Human Interaction with Social Robots, and Social Robots in Everyday Life, the book explores the idea that even if technical problems related to robot technologies can be continuously solved from a machine perspective, what kind of machine do we want to have and use in our daily lives? Experiences from previously widely adopted technologies, such smartphones, hint that robot technologies could potentially be absorbed into the everyday lives of humans in such a way that it is the human that determines the human-machine interaction. In a similar way to how today’s information and communication technologies were first designed for professional/industrial use, but which soon were commercialised for the mass market and then personalised by humans in the daily practices of use, the use of social robots is now facing the same revolution of ‘domestication’. In this transformation, which involves the profound embedding of robots in the everyday life, the ‘human’ aspect of a social robot will have a key role to play. This book casts light on this burning issue, which is one of the central topics that will be taught and studied in universities worldwide and that will be discussed widely, publicly and repeatedly in the near future. The book makes a comprehensive overview of the human dimension of social robots by discussing both transnational features and national specificities.
