Description du livre
Labour shapes contemporary life not only as an activity or institution, but as a mode of thought — a framework that organises time, structures society, and defines value. This book examines labour as a political force that produces subjectivity and sustains social legitimacy, moving beyond its conventional economic definitions. It develops a critical method to trace labour’s conceptual metamorphoses, analyse its contemporary crises, and open space for alternative imaginaries. In the age of algorithmic governance, fractured subjectivities, and performative selfhood, this is an invitation to pause: not to reject labour, but to rethink its centrality, trace its boundaries, and approach its transformations as a site of struggle, critique, and possibility.
