Approaching "work" as at heart a practice of exchange, this volume
explores sociality in work environments marked by the kind of
structural changes that have come to define contemporary "flexible"
capitalism. It introduces anthropological exchange theory to a
wider readership, and shows how the perspective offers new ways to
enquire about the flexible capitalism's social dimensions. The
essays contribute to a trans-disciplinary scholarship on
contemporary economic practice and change by documenting how,
across diverse settings, "gift-like" socialities proliferate, and
even sustain the intensified flexible commoditization that more
commonly is touted as tearing social relations apart. By
interrogating a keenly debated contemporary work regime through an
approach to sociality rooted in a rich and distinct anthropological
legacy, the volume also makes a novel contribution to the
anthropological literature on work and on exchange.
