The contributors to this volume interrogate the labour/capital relation exploring the ways in which industrial outsourcing and subcontracting transform the conditions, possibilities and politics of work.
_ Discusses the effects of economic deregulation on agricultural economies and on local markets
_ Investigates the manner in which migration changes understandings of productive power in places that once depended on the physical and social energies of people who now labour elsewhere
_ Shows how the appearance and/or disappearance of waged work alters not only the foundational notions of the relationship between productive and reproductive labour, but also of personhood, citizenship and place
_ Deploys the concept of dislocation to extend the repertoire of labour analysis beyond that of dispossession and/or disorganization
_ Argues that a renewed focus on 'labour,' as both a social category and a social practice, offers a window for grasping key contemporary material, affective, moral, social and political processes
