La vita al lavoro

Abstract

Today’s work is a work based on human qualities. Cognitive and relational potential is the beating heart of a dematerialized working activity. The whole life enters the production process. Moving from the point of view of the work’s pedagogy, the paper analyses the bio-political implications of this entrance, focusing on the neoliberal governmentality of the worker-enterprise. According to the bio-political literature, the involvement of all the personal and interpersonal resources does not generate genuine opportunities for human development but a new form of exploitation. Therefore the article dwells on some pedagogical trajectories practicable in order to oppose educationally, culturally and also politically to a subjection device that primarily plays on mobilizing competition.
