Description
Summary:In this work, I explore the importance of the sphere of social reproduction to rethink the centrality of work. New labour actors are emerging and engaging in collective activities that are considered part of the process of ‘social reproduction’ in a broad sense, that is, the reproduction of society as a totality. The struggles around housing, health, education, work, facilitates the emergence of ‘labor’ identities and organiza-tions in communities, districts and global North and South streets. The concept of social reproduction (expanded) can serve to recognize the creation of alternative forms of work around social reproduction for the understanding of new forms of capitalist work in the present, and the renewal of the sociology of work.
