Dreamwork : why all work is imaginary
Dreamwork is a book about the ideas, dreams, dreads, and ideals we have about work. Its central argument is this: Although we depend on the idea of work for our identity as humans, we feel we must disguise from ourselves the fact that we do not know what work is. There is no example of work that nobody might, under some circumstances, do for fun. All work is imaginary--which is not to say that it is simply illusory, but rather that, to count as work, it must be imagined to be work. In other words, a large part of what we mean by working is this work of imagining. Work is therefore essentially mystical--just the opposite of what it is taken to be by all of us spending our days at desks, behind cash registers, and in factories. Delving into this complex mythos, Dreamwork looks in turn at worries about whether or not work is hard; the importance of places of work; the meanings of hobbies, holidays, and sabbaths; and the history of dreams of redeeming work.

Réunir les familles séparées par la migration. Récits de l’Immigrants’ Protective League à Chicago, 1931
Cet article analyse un rapport de l’Immigrants’ Protective League à Chicago (1931) qui porte sur le paiement des pensions alimentaires dans des familles séparées par la migration. Rédigé dans le cadre d’un projet de convention internationale sur l’assistance aux étrangers indigents, ce rapport présente les différentes tactiques utilisées par les travailleuses sociales de l’organisation pour réunir les familles afin d’éviter le recours aux tribunaux. L’analyse de la mise en récit des histoires de couples et de familles montre le processus de légitimation du travail social international et met en évidence les pratiques des travailleuses sociales qui s’appuient sur les émotions pour rétablir un modèle social familial fragilisé par la migration. Le document permet aussi de retracer des projets et parcours migratoires qui font face à de nombreuses contraintes administratives et législatives. This article analyzes a report by the Immigrants’ Protective League in Chicago (1931) on maintenance orders in separated families. Written in the context of a draft international convention on assistance to indigent aliens, the report presents the various tactics used by the organization’s social workers to reunite families in order to avoid legal action. Analysis of the life stories of couples and families as they appear in the document shows the process of legitimization of International case work and reveals the practices of social workers who relied on emotions to restore a family social model weakened by migration. The document also allows us to trace migratory projects and journeys that faced numerous administrative and legislative constraints.

Lived experiences of exclusion in the workplace : psychological & behavioural effects
\"Inclusion and exclusion are two polarised feelings and experiences that touch us deeply. All aspects of human psychology and social, economic, and political life are imbued with experiences of inclusion and exclusion. The positive impact of inclusion on individuals, teams, organisations, and societies, and multilevel policy interventions are now widely recognised. There is an exponential increase in organisational level interventions to foster inclusion, particularly in global organisations. However, what we know about how exclusion operates and manifests in teams, organisations, and societies remains disparate and siloed across disciplinary boundaries. This volume transcends disciplinary silos and offers a rigorous and transdisciplinary exposition of exclusion in generic and local guises. The book draws on self-reported insights with key informants to provide examples of lived experiences of exclusion. Throughout the book, the authors are committed to ending exclusion and discrimination. This commitment also makes this book an exciting read, full of suggestions for change, and alternative means for speaking truth to power and standing up against exclusion. The book straddles different analyses across micro-, meso-, and macro-levels and locates individual experiences of exclusion and inclusion in its nested context. This approach makes the book an excellent read for scholars who study unique settings and those who explore generic aspects of exclusion. Notably, the three authors of this volume are engaged scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds, and explore exclusion as a multifaceted and complex problem that could be addressed through multilevel organisational interventions and individual acts. If you are a scholar or a practitioner in equality, diversity, and inclusion, the book will offer you inspiration, insights, and new perspectives.\"--Foreword, page xv.

Saving time : discovering a life beyond the clock
\"Our daily experience, dominated by the corporate clock that so many of us contort ourselves to fit inside, is destroying us. It wasn't built for people, it was built for profit. This is a book that tears open the seams of reality as we know it--the way we experience time itself--and rearranges it, reimagining a world not centered around work, the office clock, or the profit motive. Explaining how we got to the point where time became money, Odell offers us new models to live by--inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological, and geological time--that make a more humane, more hopeful way of living seem possible. In this dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful reframing of time, Jenny Odell takes us on a journey through other temporal habitats. As planet-bound animals, we live inside shortening and lengthening days, alongside gardens growing, birds migrating, and cliffs eroding. The stretchy quality of waiting and desire, the way the present may suddenly feel marbled with childhood memory, the slow but sure procession of a pregnancy, or the time it takes to heal from injuries--physical or emotional. Odell urges us to become stewards of these different rhythms of life, to imagine a life, identity, and source of meaning outside of the world of work and profit, and to understand that the trajectory of our lives--or the life of the planet--is not a foregone conclusion. In that sense, \"saving\" time--recovering its fundamentally irreducible and inventive nature--could also mean that time saves us\"-- Provided by publisher.

Co-intelligence : living and working with AI
\"From Wharton professor and author of the popular One Useful Thing Substack newsletter Ethan Mollick comes the definitive playbook for working, learning, and living in the new age of AI. The release of generative AI--from LLMs like ChatGPT to image generators like DALL-E-marks a new era. We have invented technologies that boost our physical capabilities and others that automate complex tasks, but never, until now, have we created a technology that can boost our intelligence--with an impact on work and life that researchers project will be greater than that of steam power or the internet. Mollick urges us not to turn away from AI, and instead to invite AI tools to the table. He demonstrates how AI can amplify our own capacities, acting in roles from brainstorming partner to cowriter to tutor to coach, and assesses its surprising, positive impact on business and organizations. Marshalling original research from workers and teams who are leading the rest of us in embracing and leveraging AI, Mollick cuts through the hype to make a frank and eye-opening case for the real value of AI tools. Moreover, Mollick argues that the long-term impact of AI will be different from what we expect, advantaging English majors and art history experts more than coders, and impacting knowledge workers more than blue-collar workers. Co-Intelligence shows what it means for individuals and for society to think together with smart machines, and why it's imperative that we all master that skill. Co-Intelligence challenges us to utilize AI's power without losing our identity, learn from it without being misled, and harness its gifts to create a better human future. Thought-provoking, optimistic, and lucid, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of generative AI\"-- Provided by publisher.

Regulating Flexibility
Using an analytic framework that situates employment standards within the context of the broader social relations that shape processes of labour market regulation, Thomas constructs a case study of employment standards legislation in Ontario from 1884 to 2004. Drawing from political economy scholarship, and using a qualitative research methodology, he analyses class, race, and gender dimensions of legislative developments, highlighting the ways in which shifts towards \"flexible\" employment standards have exacerbated longstanding racialized and gendered inequities. Regulating Flexibility argues that in order to counter current trends towards increased insecurity, employment standards should not be treated as a secondary form of labour protection but as a cornerstone in a progressive project of labour market re-regulation.
