The worker in times of change

Résumé

We adopted as a starting point the assertive that changes in contemporary capitalism happened due to the transition of the industrial society to postindustrial society, from fordism to postfordism. This phase of radical capitalism transformation is set in the centrality of immaterial work, in the social diffusion of work, in the emergence of multiple subjectivities, in Information and Communication Technology and new ways of struggle and resistance of the political subject. In this scenery, which is extended throughout the capitalist world, a new political subject emerges, that should be defined within the framework of specific social terms, from the relationship between the workman and the work and his material condition of struggle, defining a new class composition, a new territoriality of social cooperation.
