Abstract

This article presents empirical and analytical considerations about the present configuration of the working classes. In opposition to the theses that propose that work has ended or is disappearing, the text attempts to propose a more comprehensive notion of work, as well as an analytical outline of the working class' way of being today and its new morphology. Thus the article intends to contrapose those theses that maintain that work is disappearing or being deconstructed.

Keywords

changes in work,
the society of work,
work and the working classes today
