Labor, body and subjectivity: toyotism and forms of precarization in global capitalism



Abstract

Many significant transformations in various instances of the social being took place over the past thirty years of capitalist development, especially in the sphere of labor and of social reproduction. That is the period when toyotism, the organic ideology of the new form of capitalist production and the most important moment in the productive reorganization of capitalism, was developed. Under the ideology of toyotism, something we will name 'mind-body compression' tends to take place (at least as capitalism's 'unkept promise'). This is a new element of the social and subjective arrangement instituted by toyotism that characterizes a new way of experiencing the body both in labor and social reproduction processes.
