This book is concerned with the gender order of post-Fordism, and
especially the labour demanded from many women by post-Fordist
capitalism. It maps and traces these demands as well their
entanglement in complex processes of value creation. In so doing
the contributors elaborate how processes of financialization; calls
for work-readiness; new modes of economic calculation; processes of
economization, and emergent regulatory strategies are reconfiguring
labour and life in post-Fordism and summoning new forms of 'women's
work'. Contributors also map how these same processes are
repositioning feminism, especially feminism as a mode of critique.
Feminism here stands not in an external relation to the objects and
matters it seeks to critique but as implicated in those very
objects. In mapping this terrain Gender and Labour in New Times
opens out new feminist research agendas for the study of the
post-Fordist labour and the modes of regulation that post-Fordism
as a regime of capital accumulation entails. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Australian Feminist
Studies.
