Le développement du chômage l’a montré : travailler est une norme. Dans nos sociétés occidentales, le travail est le principal moyen de subsistance mais aussi une part essentielle des occupations de chacun. L’ordre social s’organise autour de lui. En a-t-il toujours été ainsi ? Assiste-t-on, aujourd’hui, avec la réduction du temps de travail, à une remise en cause de sa valeur ? Va-t-on vers de nouvelles formes de travail ? En croisant les regards historiques et philosophiques avec les résultats des enquêtes sociologiques et économiques les plus récentes, Dominique Méda interroge notre rapport au travail et, battant en brèche les idées reçues, nous invite à repenser sa nature ainsi que la place qu’il prend dans nos vies.

Presents the history of labor from the thirteenth century up to the present, discussing how the definition and economic structures surrounding work have changed over time and how unpaid and exploited work is an ignored but vital part of the modern economy. -- "Say the word "work," and most people think of some form of gainful employment. Yet this limited definition has never corresponded to the historical experience of most people--whether in colonies, developing countries, or the industrialized world. That gap between common assumptions and reality grows even more pronounced in the case of women and other groups excluded from the labour market. In this important intervention, Andrea Komlosy demonstrates that popular understandings of work have varied radically in different ages and countries. Looking at labour history around the globe from the thirteenth to the twenty-first centuries, Komlosy sheds light on both discursive concepts as well as the concrete coexistence of multiple forms of labour--paid and unpaid, free and unfree. From the economic structures and ideological mystifications surrounding work in the Middle Ages, all the way to European colonialism and the industrial revolution, Komlosy’s narrative adopts a distinctly global and feminist approach, revealing the hidden forms of unpaid and hyper-exploited labour which often go ignored, yet are key to the functioning of the capitalist world-system. Work: The Last 1,000 Years will open readers' eyes to an issue much thornier and more complex than most people imagine, one which will be around as long as basic human needs and desires exist." -- Publisher's description
