| Sumario: | This text offers theoretical reflections based on a research project and
discussion of international literature on the evolution and the future of labor and its transformations. Through it we contribute a concrete and
empirical basis for recurrent debates on what has been called ‘information
society’, based on study of the collective worker in software production.
This worker has been frequently used to illustrate the golden future
of central societies, one that is expected to extend, through processes
of dislocation, to ‘emergent’ or ‘developing’ societies. It is here that
non-material work should find its hopeful future. Contrasting with this
idealized view and following a line of thought established in previous
studies, the tendencies that we have uncovered through research on
software factories in Spain are very similar to what has been witnessed at
the international level. One of the major concerns of our investigations has
been to get a better hold on what is actually occurring: how new productive
organizations for making software develop. Thu, we are able to identify
major tendencies for the present and future regarding what workers of this
sector can expect. These workers can be considered exemplary for current
discussions on the future of labor in information society. |
