Abstract

Abstract What is the historical role of punishment in the management of labour? This is the central question of this Special Issue of the International Review of Social History (IRSH), “Punishing Workers, Managing Labour”. Through a close reading of the diverse range of articles included in this Special Issue and by addressing the relatively extensive but highly fragmented scholarship on the subject, this introduction argues that the key to labour management lay in the interplay of differentiated forms of punishment with distinct labour relations, rather than in the imposition of one punitive regime onto an undifferentiated workforce. In other words, the effective management of labour required the systematic differentiation of the workforce; to that end, the imposition of diversified forms of punishment did not merely reflect existing labour distinctions, but also contributed to creating them. This point leads us to address broader methodological and theoretical issues about how we can analyse such complex interactions: how we can compare the role of punishment in the management of labour across space and time, and how our findings can be used to explain short- and long-term historical changes.

引言:劳动管理的惩罚性观点
刑罚在劳动管理中的历史作用是什么?这是本期《国际社会历史评论》特刊“惩罚工人,管理劳动”的中心问题。通过仔细阅读本期特刊中包含的各种各样的文章,并通过解决有关该主题的相对广泛但高度分散的学术研究,本引言认为,劳动管理的关键在于不同形式的惩罚与不同的劳动关系的相互作用,而不是将一种惩罚制度强加给未分化的劳动力。换句话说,对劳动力的有效管理需要对劳动力进行系统的区分;为此目的,实行多种形式的惩罚不仅反映了现有的劳工差别,而且也有助于创造这种差别。这一点引导我们解决更广泛的方法和理论问题,即我们如何分析这种复杂的相互作用:我们如何跨空间和时间比较惩罚在劳动管理中的作用,以及我们的发现如何用于解释短期和长期的历史变化。

期刊介绍: International Review of Social History, is one of the leading journals in its field. Truly global in its scope, it focuses on research in social and labour history from a comparative and transnational perspective, both in the modern and in the early modern period, and across periods. The journal combines quality, depth and originality of its articles with an open eye for theoretical innovation and new insights and methods from within its field and from contiguous disciplines. Besides research articles, it features surveys of new themes and subject fields, a suggestions and debates section, review essays and book reviews. It is esteemed for its annotated bibliography of social history titles, and also publishes an annual supplement of specially commissioned essays on a current theme.
