*CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS - The Precariousness of Knowledge Workers *    Volume
10 No 2 of * Work Organisation, Labour & Globalisation *will be a special
themed issue on
*The Precariousness of Knowledge Workers: hybridisation, marketisation and
subjectification in global value chains *
The notion of 'knowledge worker' has become the focus of a rich range of
debates in a variety of scientific approaches and disciplines, from
sociology to economics, from political science to neomarxism, all offering
their own particular conceptual tools and perspectives.Unlike the
traditional professions that were consolidated in the last century, 21st
knowledge work is undergoing a process of  hybridisation. With a growing
variety of different types of work contract, knowledge workers constitute a
type of professional work that is
increasingly exposed to the logic of the market and are increasingly
required to auto-activate their own resources, empathy and individual
autonomy (Gorz, 2003; Morini, Fumagalli, 2010). The ambivalences embedded
in these forms of production – in which new forms of exploitation and
control and new sense constructions coexist at the same time (Rullani,
2004; Bologna, 2011) – show
the double face of  contemporary capitalism, which urges subjects to put
their own lives into production but also leaves room for passion and
creative capacities (Boltansky, Chiappello, 1999; Marazzi, 2010; Karppi et
al., 2014). Following this perspective, global capitalism can continue to
accumulate but can also overflow, spreading pervasivelyr through different
(technological) devices, while simultaneously opening up a multitude of
times and spaces (Thrift, 2005) in which subjects struggle to find their
position.

In knowledge based industries, work is circumscribed by the cognitive
frames of creativity the imagery of subjects, but simultaenously demands
adaptability, in a context in which deregulation and individualisation are
now normal. The ethics of self-activation are therefore inextricably
intertwined with the demands of intensification, neostandardisation and
self-commodification. In this framework, the organisation of knowledge work
is increasingly subordinated to the disciplines imposed by global
production chains (Berger, 2008; Huws,
2014) leading not only to the intension of work and the transformation of
the capabilities required of workers, but also to the creation of new forms
of affective labour (Hochschild, 1983; Hardt, 1999; Hesmondhalgh, Baker,
2008) which blur the boundaries of work (Gill, Pratt, 2008; McRobbie,
2011).
The aim of this Special Issue is to develop a critical discussion on
knowledge workers' conditions and subjectivities in the new global division
of labour. We welcome paper submissions from diverse theoretical and
methodological perspectives on the following themes:

   - representations and experiences of knowledge workers in the global
   tertiarised societies;
   - mechanisms of subjectivation and strategies to seek to avoid and to
   resist them;
   - risks of precariousness and proletarisation that might derive from a
   professionalisation driven by global and glocal markets;
   - knowledge workers' collective practices, with particular attention to
   new forms of collaboration, sociality and social features of welfare and
   their limitations and potentialities.
