LABOR IN CULTURE OR WORKER OF THE WORLD(S) - PE...

This book is a cultural critique of labor and globalization that considers whether one can
represent the other. The cultural representation of labor is a challenge in how globalization
is understood. Workers may be everywhere in the world but cultural correlatives are
problematic. By elaborating cultural theory and practice this book examines why this might be
so. If globalization unites workers via production and capital flows  it often writes over
traditional or progressive forms of unity. Worlds of work have expanded in the last half
century  yet labor has receded within cultural discourse. By considering critical and
historical concepts in the workers' inquiry  the subject  and value  and provocative projects
in cultural representation itself  this study expands our lexicon of labor to understand more
fully what workers of the world means under globalization. As such the book offers broad appeal
to students and teachers of Global and Cultural Studies and will interest all those who take
seriously how the worker is articulated at a global scale.
