Identity in the Age of the New Economy is a multi-faceted view of
contemporary employment and identity that questions a number of the
myths related to the so-called new economy, knowledge society or
network society. It argues that one of the most striking things
about much contemporary theorizing on work and identity is the
epochalist terms in which it is framed: changing forms of identity
and subjectivity are assumed to be consequences of a shift to an
entirely new economic, social and cultural era, signalled by
concepts such as postmodernity, risk society, network society or
new economy. The book deviates from the epochalist claim and
follows the path of recent years' sociological/social-psychological
analyses of identities, presenting detailed empirical studies of
relational identities in scattered and temporary work practices.
The authors demonstrate how identities are endogenous variables,
focus on highly educated contingent employees and direct the
analyses from the politics of interests to the politics of
identities. Exploring the nexus between identity and the
organization of work life, this wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary
book will be of great interest to both academics and practitioners
in the fields of human resource management, industrial relations
and psychology. It will also appeal to those with an interest in
organization theory.
