Logistical Chokepoints, Precarious Work, and Social Reproduction (eBook, PDF)

Labour Conflicts and the Metabolic Rift in Ports and Airports in Brazil and Portugal

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Die Beschäftigten an logistischen Engpässen wie Häfen und Flughäfen, die sich an Dreh- und Angelpunkten der globalisierten Wirtschaft befinden, sollten über eine große Verhandlungsmacht verfügen. Dieses Buch untersucht die räumlich-historische Geschichte der Logistik in Portugal und Brasilien und fragt, warum die Arbeitsbedingungen in Häfen und Flughäfen immer noch überwiegend prekär sind. Anhand eigener Feldforschung und qualitativer Studien analysiert Anne Engelhardt die Arbeit und das Leben der Arbeiter entlang materialistischer Theorieansätze zur sozialen Reproduktion, zum metabolischen Riss, zum Staat und zum Körper.
