The precariousness of knowledge workers (Part 2) : forms and critiques of autonomy and self-representation Murgia, Annalisa Maestripieri, Lara Armano, Emiliana Precariousness Self-employed knowledge workers Employment relations Working conditions Autonomy in knowledge work Some of the authors of this publication are also working on these related projects: ERC Starting Grant 2016 project SHARE - Seizing the Hybrid Areas of work by Re-presenting self-Employment (2017-2022) This article introduces the second of a two-part Special Issue of this journal on the precariousness of knowledge workers. It aims to explore the ambivalences and liminal relations among autonomy, identification and task orientation, which - for knowledge workers - represent both a source of self-realisation and a generator of multiple and distinctive forms of precariousness. In particular, we focus on the forms and critiques of autonomy and self-representation that, in knowledge societies, extend far beyond the fact of being a self-employed worker. We argue that knowledge work is in fact sustained by devices of subjectivity which derive their power from being self-constructed and which provide tools for managing precarious lives. 2017 Article https://ddd.uab.cat/record/181961 urn:oai:ddd.uab.cat:181961 urn:10.13169/workorgalaboglob.11.1.0001 urn:scopus_id:85050988127 urn:altmetric_id:21589769 urn:oai:egreta.uab.cat:publications/4b3572d7-5dec-43e2-b1fa-502beffe9102 eng Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation ; Vol. 11 Núm. 1 (2017), p. 1-9 open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
