The authors scrutinize work diaries, private and public records, and travelers' accounts. Subjects include farmers, farmwives, urban laborers, plantation slave workers, midwives, and sailors; locales range from Maine to the Caribbean and the high seas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese essays recover the regimen that consumed the waking hours of most adults in the New World, defined their economic lives, and shaped their larger existence.  Focusing on individuals as well as groups, the authors emphasize the choices that, over time, might lead to prosperity or to the poorhouse.  Few people enjoyed sinecures, and every day brought new risks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Innes introduces the collection by elucidating the prophetic vision of Captain John Smith:  that the New World offered abundant reward for one's \"owne industrie.\"  Several motifs stand out in the essays.  Family labor has begun to assume greater prominence, both as a collective work unit and as a collective economic unit whose members worked independently.  Of growing interest to contemporary scholars is the role of family size and sex ratio in determining economic decision, and vice ersa.  Work patterns appear to have been driven by the goal of creating surplus production for markets; perhaps because of a desire for higher consumption, work patterns began to intensify throughout the eighteenth century and led to longer work days with fewer slack periods.  Overall, labor relations showed no consistent evolution but remained fluid and flexible in the face of changing market demands in highly diverse environments.  The authors address as well the larger questions of American development and indicate the directions that research in this expanding field might follow.","brand":"Longleaf on behalf of Univ of N.

It offers a reassessment of Debord’s original notion of Spectacle from the late 1960s, of its posterior revisitation in the 1990s, and it presents a reinterpretation of the concept within the scenario of contemporary informational capitalism and more specifically of digital and media labour. It is argued that the Spectacle 2.0 form operates as the interactive network that links through one singular (but contradictory) language and various imaginaries, uniting diverse productive contexts such as logistics, finance, new media and urbanism. Spectacle 2.0 thus colonizes most spheres of social life by processes of commodification, exploitation and reification. Diverse contributors consider the topic within the book’s two main sections: Part I conceptualizes and historicizes the Spectacle in the context of informational capitalism; contributions in Part II offer empirical cases that historicise the Spectacle in relation to the present (and recent past) showing how a Spectacle 2.0 approach can illuminate and deconstruct specific aspects of contemporary social reality. All contributions included in this book rework the category of the Spectacle to present a stimulating compendium of theoretical critical literature in the fields of media and labour studies. In the era of the gig-economy, highly mediated content and President Trump, Debord’s concept is arguably more relevant than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Westminster Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691403112815,"sku":"9781911534440","price":175.2,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/trabalho-e-economia.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
