Labour economy in a creative commons society
|
Once someone said that love is to give something you don't have to someone who doesn't ask for it. Could it also apply to art and open source programming? Is a gift free? What is the cost of immaterial work in an open source economy? When life becomes work and work becomes life, the difference between productive and reproductive work disappears. Paid work is being defined more and more by the precarious and informal working conditions of reproductive work. This transformation is characterized by the emergence of an indistinct pool of life and work: the extension of working hours into the home, temporary labour contracts and individualised terms and conditions, the demand for emotional involvement and affective activities. Is there a link between the 'immaterial' and 'invisible' work of all 'home' workers: housewives, open source programmers, artists, e-workers, etc? Are there possible models for contracts, social protection, working conditions that would give visibility to the multilayered, flexible and generous workers without commodifying and enclosing them? Should we define a common policy? Do we want regulations or increased flexibility?
Debate with Danny Devos, Aiyer Rishab Ghosh, Els Vanheusden and a video by NextGenderation Brussels on the Precarity@bordercrossers.net. Feminism, Precarity and Migration workshop in Berlin

Precarity@bordercrossers.net. Feminism, Precarity and Migration
Workshop organised by the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, MAIZ (Linz), Respect (Berlin) and Research Group Hamburg, Berlin 3-4 December
When life becomes work and work becomes life, the difference between productive and reproductive work disappears. The precarious work conditions of reproductive work increasingly define paid work. Characteristic for this transformation of work are the emergence of life and work, the extension of worktime into private households, temporary contracts, individualised terms and condition, the demand for and implementation of emotional and affective activities. Precariousness points towards three levels: firstly, the commodification of subjective and creative skills; secondly, vulnerability, poverty and deregulation and thirdly, on the process of mobility and transnational migration. On these levels the re-organisation of the global division of work based on the intersection of class, gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity is taking place.
With Precarias a la Deriva (Madrid), MAIZ (Linz), LSD (Madrid), Sconvegno (Roma), Punto di Partenza (Firenze), Shirley Tate (Manchester), Bridget Anderson (COMPAS, Oxford), AGISRA (Köln), NextGenderation (Brussels), Women's Organisations from Slowakia and Ukraine.
