Paperback. Condition: New. Paid work is absolutely central to the culture and politics of capitalist societies, yet today's work-centred world is becoming increasingly hostile to the human need for autonomy, spontaneity and community. The grim reality of a society in which some are overworked, whilst others are condemned to intermittent work and unemployment, is progressively more difficult to tolerate.In this thought-provoking book, David Frayne questions the central place of work in mainstream political visions of the future, laying bare the ways in which economic demands colonise our lives and priorities. Drawing on his original research into the lives of people who are actively resisting nine-to-five employment, Frayne asks what motivates these people to disconnect from work, whether or not their resistance is futile, and whether they might have the capacity to inspire an alternative form of development, based on a reduction and social redistribution of work.A crucial dissection of the work-centred nature of modern society and emerging resistance to it, The Refusal of Work is a bold call for a more humane and sustainable vision of social progress. …

Paperback. Condition: New. This provocative collection of essays presents a powerful critique of contemporary discourse that portrays work - paid employment - as a moral imperative, essential for our health and well-being. The contributors describe the mental health impact of modern-day workplaces, with their precarity and constant managerial scrutiny. They throw light on the emerging role of the psychologist and psychotherapist as agents of the state within the welfare system. And they question the deployment of mindfulness and other workplace `wellness' initiatives in the place of more genuine and collective attempts to transform work. The Work Cure is an invitation to imagine a different kind of future, where employment no longer represents the chief source of security and meaning, so integral to our well-being. It is also essential reading for anyone who has doubted whether positivity, self-improvement and `resilience' can really be the answer to work's problems. …

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. El trabajo remunerado es un elemento absolutamente central de la cultura y la política de las sociedades capitalistas, pese a que el mundo que conocemos, organizado alrededor del empleo, se está volviendo cada vez más hostil a la necesidad humana de autonomía, espontaneidad y de pertenencia a una comunidad. La realidad descarnada de una sociedad en la cual unos pocos trabajan en exceso, mientras que otros están condenados a un trabajo intermitente o al desempleo, resulta cada vez más difícil de tolerar. . En esta sugestiva obra, el sociólogo David Frayne cuestiona el lugar central que el trabajo ocupa en las convencionales visiones del futuro, poniendo al descubierto los modos en los que las exigencias económicas colonizan nuestra vida y nuestras prioridades. A partir de una original indagación en las vidas de quienes se resisten activamente a dejarse atrapar por las extenuantes jornadas laborales al uso, Frayne se pregunta qué lleva a estas personas a desconectar del trabajo, si su resistencia es fútil o no, y si puede alentar formas alternativas de desarrollo basadas en una redistribución social del trabajo. . Disección nada baladí de una sociedad que ha hecho del trabajo su piedra angular y de las resistencias emergentes que la cuestionan, El rechazo del trabajo es un audaz llamamiento a asumir una perspectiva más humana y sostenible del progreso social. . . Es el libro más interesante y completo que he leído sobre el dominio que el trabajo ejerce sobre nuestras vidas. Agudo y muy estimulante, deberían leerlo todos los que van a trabajar a diario, si es que consiguen sacar tiempo para hacerlo . Sharon Beder, autora de Selling the Work Ethic. . Un replanteamiento de la ética del trabajo que atraerá a cualquiera que se haya preguntado si el trabajo que tanto se está esforzando por conseguir, o por conservar, merece realmente la pena .
