Book Description
La posmodernidad se ha convertido en el término de moda de la sociedad contemporánea durante las últimas décadas. Pero, ¿cómo podemos definirla? En esta introducción de fácil lectura, los misterios de este concepto tan esquivo son resueltos, iluminando críticamente la forma en la que vivimos hoy, desde la politización de la cultura de los museos hasta el culto de lo políticamente correcto. Las ideas claves de la teoría de la posmodernidad en la filosofía, política, ética y arte son exploradas y desafiadas, y se muestra cómo han interactuado con una cultura posmoderna.
El orden social en la posmodernidad

Book Description
ESTE LIBRO EXPLICA CON PROSA CLARA CÓMO SE LEGITIMA HOY EL ORDEN SOCIAL Y ARROJA UNA MIRADA INNOVADORA PARA ENTENDER LAS IDEOLOGÍAS EN LA SOCIEDAD ACTUAL. El objetivo de este libro es replantear la noción de ideología a partir de la idea del imaginario social. Aunque esta haya sido abordada desde diferentes ángulos en el pensamiento sociológico actual, aquí el autor liga ambos conceptos (ideología e imaginario social) para, desde esta ligazón, descifrar la legitimación del orden en las sociedades actuales, desarrollando, así, una nueva propuesta para la crítica ideológica.

The Deconstruction of Employment as a Political Question
Author: Amparo Serrano-Pascual
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319936174
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
The wide-ranging European perspectives brought together in this volume aim to analyse, by means of an interdisciplinary approach, the numerous implications of a massive shift in the conception of ‘work’ and the category of ‘worker’. Changes in the production models, economic downturn and increasing digitalisation have triggered a breakdown in the terms and assumptions that previously defined and shaped the notion of employment. This has made it more difficult to discuss, and problematise, issues like vulnerability in employment in such terms as unfairness, inequality and inadequate protection. Taking the ‘deconstruction of employment’ as a central idea for theorising the phenomenon of work today, this volume explores the emergence of new semantic fields and territories for understanding and regulating employment. These new linguistic categories have implications beyond language alone: they reformulate the very concept of waged employment (including those aspects previously considered intrinsic to the meaning of work and of being ‘a worker’), along with other closely associated categories such as unemployment, self-employment, and inactivity.

Deconstructing Flexicurity and Developing Alternative Approaches
Author: Maarten Keune
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136208038
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
In recent years, the concept of flexicurity has come to occupy a central place in political and academic debates regarding employment and social policy. It fosters a view in which the need for continuously increasing flexibility is the basic assumption, and the understanding of security increasingly moves from social protection to self-insurance or individual adaptability. Moreover, it rejects the traditional contradictions between flexibility and security, blending the two into a single notion and thus depoliticizing the relationships between capital and labour. This volume provides a critical discussion of the flexicurity concept, the theories upon which it is built and the ideas that it transmits about work, unemployment and social justice. It shows that flexicurity fosters the further individualization of social protection, an increase in precariousness and the further weakening of labour in relation to capital. The authors present a series of alternative theoretical, normative and policy approaches that provide due attention to the collective and political dimension of vulnerability and allow for the development of new societal projects based on alternative values and assumptions.

Philosophical and Sociological Reflections on Labour Law in Times of Crisis
Author: Eduardo von Adamovich
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527583503
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Starting from the assertion that crisis is part of the essence of labour law, this volume brings together researchers in the field who accepted the challenge to critically reflect on this branch of the discipline. As the COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact, labour law across the world must come to terms with a new reality. In this context, it would be prudent to adapt to new circumstances by taking known paths. To this end, this book reflects on what effectively constitutes labour law, considering questions which are not usual within labour law. Insights from philosophical, sociological and even economic standpoints are mobilised to reconcile the past with the future of labour law.
