The Transformation of Labor: An East-West Comparison.
The global changes that are contained in the terms “post-industrialism” and “post-socialism” now form the new cultural logic of the capitalist system and can serve as the basis of a transnational analysis. These developments have occurred about the same time as important shifts in the relationships between production, consumption, labor, and capital. Since the collapse of communism in Europe the modern narratives of the industrial worker and mass society are brought into question and, with them, the traditional paradigm of labor has changed as well. While western industrial states made a fairly simple shift towards post-industrial society, the regions of the former Soviet Union underwent a double transformation involving a simultaneous change to an official market system and post-industrial transformations.
This research project uses an east-west comparison to analyze the new dimension of human labor with regard to the cultural and social construction of the working subject. The analysis is conducted from the perspective of cultural and social anthropology in combination with interdisciplinary approaches (such as cultural studies and gender) to investigate the changing political representations of the working subject. The east/west comparison brings both similarities and important differences in the recoding of modern work identity to light and improves our understanding of the cultural and social aspects of the processes of transformation of paradigms of labor, workers’ culture, political representation and gender.
