The Liminal Worker examines the experience of work, employment,
employment insecurity and precariousness in a context of high
unemployment and welfare state crisis in modern Greece. A
theoretically-informed, anthropological exploration of the notion
of work in contemporary western society and its relation to
processes of political decision making, this book challenges the
mainstream conception of work as an economic or purely productive
activity, presenting a comparative analysis of work as a social
phenomenon. Drawing on original empirical research, it explores the
key themes of the transformation, experience, meaning and narrative
of work and its relation to attendant social policies. A unique
examination of the complicated experience of work and labour
relations within power systems, institutions and organisations, as
well as the reactions and survival strategies of ordinary actors
facing precariousness in their daily existence, The Liminal Worker
elaborates upon the notion of the anthropology of work and
investigates the connection between ethnographic data (and its
critical analysis) and the formation of policy. As such, it will be
of interest to anthropologists, sociologists, policy makers and
geographers concerned with questions of work, labour relations and
policy formation.
