Crisis of the material substantiality of the world and the working class’s social materiality

Abstract

We analyse some of the transformations in the experience of exploitation in light of the dematerialisation of the economy. Specifically, we refer to the crisis of work as cultural mediation and the individual experience of exploitation. From this pers-pective, we analyse the erosion of the conditions of possibility in terms of the construction of class identity, and the cha-llenges for verifying our grief in the sociability of the working class and its production spaces.
