Circulation and super-exploitation of work
Abstract
In this article, I propose an approach for the analysis of the so-called processes of flexibilization, precarization or, recently, uberization of work, considering the processes of acceleration and expansion of the circulation of the labour-power that are transversally resulting and, therefore, a proletarian condition of greater approximation and/or indistinction between active and reserve armies. For that, I revisit the Marxian theory of value with regard to the circulation of the labour-power and the trends that can be measured by the increase in the circulation time of this merchandise. In addition, I propose a research agenda for the study of processes and social relations of circulation to which the working class is subjected in a regime of capital´s flexible accumulation.
