Christophe Brochier, L. R. Costa
Jean Peneff, nascido em 1939, foi sucessivamente professor de sociologia em Argel, Nantes e Aix-en-Provence. É conhecido por ter sido um teórico e praticante do método biográfico, mas também da observação participante, método que ajudou a popularizar nos anos 1990 entre os sociólogos franceses. Seus livros mais conhecidos se referem à medicina, de que ele foi um dos especialistas mais frequentemente citados na França. Nesta entrevista, realizada nos dias 20 e 30 de novembro de 2020, ele faz um retrospecto de toda a sua trajetória e insiste nas relações entre a vida pessoal e o trabalho sociológico.
Jean Peneff出生于1939年，曾在阿尔及尔、南特和普罗旺斯艾克斯担任社会学教授。他是著名的传记方法的理论家和实践者，也是参与观察方法的实践者，这种方法在20世纪90年代帮助在法国社会学家中普及。他最著名的作品是他的第一部小说《我的孩子们》。在2020年11月20日和30日进行的采访中，他回顾了自己的整个职业生涯，并强调了个人生活和社会学工作之间的关系。

As a matter of balance of the contributions joined in the Dossier, this final word draws a comprehensive picture of the issues discussed by the authors and raises some questions pointing to a possible agenda for current labor studies. First, it sparks reflections going in the sense of discussing the actual meaning of what is to be considered either “normal” or “healthy” after Covid-19 crisis. Then it addresses such discussion to the world of work with interesting consequences, asking what is actually “normal” in labor relations. In the same vein, it reminds us the role of the so-called “essential workers” during the sanitary crisis: a lot of invisible realities which are now becoming visible. On the other side, the author call attention to imminent economic crisis, affecting jobs and companies. Similarly, he warns about the worsening of the working conditions under a post-Covid world: no “return to normal” is envisioned without shaking important structures of the already-known world. One of those pillars is the North-South divide: according to the author, that divide is loosing because the neat two-worlds mapping is blurred today – we find informality on both “worlds”, as well as either digital economy and inequalites are present North and South, so clear-cut differences may tend to disappear. The author finally proceeds to make a short comment about every of the contributions to the dossier, pointing out what is crucial and distinctive in each of them.

Com este texto, pretende-se alertar para a persistente desproporção entre homens e mulheres nos cargos de liderança das entidades da Economia Social. Para o efeito, observa-se a realidade portuguesa sobre a qual, pela primeira vez, estão disponíveis dados atualizados e a nível nacional, recolhidos pelo INE – Instituto Nacional de Estatística. Refletindo sobre as causas que lhe subjazem, propomo-nos ainda abordar as vias para ultrapassar a segregação de gênero. Neste ponto, partimos de uma constatação importante, a de que existe no seio das mencionadas organizações um bloqueio à mudança decorrente da invisibilidade das questões de gênero e de uma negação do problema, para advogar que uma parte da dinâmica de mudança em favor da igualdade de poder exige atuação interna, ao nível da consciencialização, do empoderamento e de uma abordagem transformadora.

A emergência da internet impôs desafios à distinção público/privado – que é estruturadora de muitos modelos que pensam o mundo social, de instituições e de normas jurídicas. (1) A homologia entre localização espacial e acesso a uma ou outra esfera é cada vez menos sustentável. (2) Há uma transição sem solução de continuidade da comunicação privada para a exposição pública. (3) A exposição pública perde seu contexto, já que pode ser reprodutível para qualquer outra audiência. (4) A privacidade fica em suspenso diante da vigilância sobre as trocas comunicativas on-line, incluindo aquelas que seriam privativas. O artigo analisa os efeitos da disparidade entre os pressupostos da normatização jurídica vigente e a experiência socialmente estruturada.

Conditionality, among other aspects, determines that the regulatory development of the countries that make up the European Union can be carried out, as is usual in the social sphere, without the intervention, or at least minimally, of the workers’ representatives and entrepreneurs, and also from other political formations in the legislative field. Logically, this absence of social or political participation can promote response actions against them, either traditional (strikes, demonstrations, withdrawal of parliamentary support in adoption of legislative measures etc.), or new types (spontaneous concentrations in public places, general assemblies of citizens without a defined convener, appearance of social and political formations of less visible typology, or other similar ones). The financial crisis unleashed at the end of 2007 and the one derived from the health emergency situation due to the global spread of Covid-19, at the beginning of 2020, have precisely encouraged the use of conditionality in the European Union space. However, the way in which conditionality has been developed in one and another crisis in the Spanish State can be said that it has not been identical. Neither have been the reactions of social and political subjects, because if in the first crisis these subjects have experienced a reduction in their functions of participation or intervention in legislative action and in the proposal of political actions, in the second the possibilities of action have been much more significant, and also their contribution to efforts to overcome the crisis situation.

The platforms boom in Latin America is at the current core of the industrial and retail sectors. Platform workers (i.e., drivers, motorcyclists and bikers) started organizing along different repertoires taken from other countries thanks to the global character of productive processes and the weight of migrant labor in services, such as mail, post services, and mobility of people. From a qualitative approach, this article proposes an overview of main organizing experiences and burgeoning struggles in this new context aggravated by the intensification of such platforms within the Covid-19 crisis.

It has become a commonplace belief among academics and trade union officials that globalization has weakened trade unions. However, the expansion of global capital has also led to a rise of transnational labor organizing. Since the 2000s, Global Union Federations have developed different strategies to tackle the challenges of globalization. In this article, we analyze two such forms of transnational organizing: A network-based and an event-based form of organizing. While the network-based approach brings together unions from different countries in a company or industry-wide cross-border network, the event-based strategy is built on the engagement of the GUFs at large international events to wage local struggles with a lasting impact on labor relations. By drawing on a power resource approach and labor geography and by using empirical data from two case studies, the Building and Woodworkers International’s Fifa World Cup campaign of 2014 and the International Transport Workers Union’s Latam Union network, we demonstrate how GUFs are using different pathways of transnational activism to link the global with the local and why local trade union action is crucial for success in transnational organizing.

A obra de Dardot e Laval sobre o comum ainda não foi submetida ao crivo da crítica da colonialidade. Diante dessa lacuna, exploram-se, neste artigo, as potencialidades “decoloniais” dessa obra – localizando-as em sua concepção construtivista do comum –, bem como suas armadilhas “coloniais” – relacionadas com os limites eurocêntricos de sua arqueologia do comum, a subestimação da heterogeneidade das relações de poder e a dificuldade de facear os limites da “língua política” autorizada pelas instituições moderno-ocidentais. Conclui-se com um convite à expansão do imaginário político do comum a partir do repertório de experiências sociais não ocidentais/ não imperiais, sob o imperativo da norma da inapropriabilidade epistêmica ou cosmopolítica.

As a cross-cutting issue encompassing all of society, the evolution of digital technologies is particularly challenging to traditional labour actors that are accustomed to physical work and face-to-face contact. This article discusses the distinctive possibilities of social media use as a forward-thinking global strategy for organised labour. After an initial clarification of useful concepts to consider in the digital age, we focus on the social media presence of trade unions, identifying the pros and cons associated with platform-based communication. Finally, the article debates the implications of social media platforms as tools to strengthen networks with nonunion actors and contribute to the amplification of the labour agenda. Through a comparative analysis of four trade union confederations, two from Brazil and two from Portugal, we argue that, despite the possibilities for outreach and interaction enabled by the new communication and information technologies, trade union confederations maintain constricted networks and an outdated top-down communications model.

W. McGregor, E. Webster
Drawing on a network of transnational activists, this paper argues that a new type of regional network internationalism has emerged in Sub-Saharan Africa. Initiated by the Global Labour University (GLU), through a short two-month residential course called Engage, it has been able over the last seven years to develop the skills for a new type of union organiser, one who understands the global context, but is rooted in their local community. This network works at forging links of solidarity across national borders and regional frontiers. Their solidarity work aims at sharing knowledge and experience between activists and worker organisations and the development of meetings and campaigns to strategize and put into action these new forms of transnational solidarity.
