Abstract | As a key component of the logic and discursive potential of capitalism, the evolution of
the set of values that conform the work ethic has been closely linked to the changes in
the forms of the capital accumulation process in Western societies during the 19th and
20th centuries. In this context, the work ethic has served both to dominate and to
emancipate, naturalizing subordination to waged labor at the same time that it served as
a legitimizing discourse for the increased recognition of marginalized groups. To
explain this contradiction, I will make use of the concept of antinomies employed by
Kathi Weeks to explain the ethic’s dynamism. Departing from the resources of Week’s
theory, and through the case of the American welfare reform during the end of the 20th
century, the dominating potential of the work ethic will be uncovered with the aim to
disincentivize its use in future social movements
Como componente clave de la lógica y potencial discursivo del capitalismo, la evolución
del conjunto de valores que conforman la ética del trabajo ha estado estrechamente
ligada a los cambios en los modos de acumulación capitalista de las sociedades
occidentales durante los siglos XIX y XX. En este contexto, la ética del trabajo ha servido tanto como para dominar como para emancipar, naturalizando la subordinación
al trabajo asalariado al mismo tiempo que servía como discurso legitimador de un mayor
reconocimiento de grupos marginados. Para explicar esta contradicción, se hará uso del
concepto de antinomias empleado por Kathi Weeks para explicar el dinamismo de la
ética. A partir de los recursos de la teoría de Weeks, y mediante el caso de la reforma del
sistema de bienestar estadounidense de finales del siglo XX, se descubrirá el potencial
dominador de la ética del trabajo con el fin de desincentivar su incorporación en futuros
movimientos sociales. |
