Descripción del proyecto
Estudio del futuro del trabajo en la era digital
El trabajo es una fuente significativa de identidad. Sin embargo, la digitalización de los procesos de trabajo también ha transformado su mecanismo de creación de significado. A fin de comprender mejor la relación entre la identidad y el trabajo en nuestra era digital, necesitamos un nuevo marco interpretativo. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos CRAFTWORK estudia la relación entre la identidad y el trabajo en el contexto de las industrias «neo-craft» de la era digital. El proyecto tiene como objetivo innovar de manera significativa y facultar el estudio crítico de nuevas formas de trabajo en distintas disciplinas y ámbitos de investigación, así como contribuir al gran reto social del futuro del trabajo.
Objetivo
The CRAFTWORK project is a multi-methodological, pan-European study that explores the relationship between identity and work in the context of the ‘new forms of work’ of the digital era. To do so, it focuses on the lived experiences, cultures and practices of ‘neo-craft’ work across different sectors and geographical contexts in the EU. The project investigates the subjectivities and pathways to work of ‘neo-craft’ workers, their perception of class location and their cultural conceptions of social status. At the same time, it questions the distribution of ‘neo-craft’ work across the urban-rural divide, and the role of social media in this context. The overarching goal of the CRAFTWORK project is to produce a new interpretative framework to understand the relationship between identity and work, that allows to account for the specificities of the ‘new forms of work’. Conceived as such, the project will significantly innovate and empower the critical study of the ‘new forms of work’ across different disciplines and research areas, and contribute to address the major societal challenge of the ‘future of work’. The project is ground-breaking for three reasons: a) empirically, it is the first comprehensive inquiry on ‘neo-craft’ work, currently hidden in existing data, in the EU area; b) methodologically, it experiments an innovative combination of digital methods and qualitative research for the study of work; c) theoretically, it aspires to provide a rethinking of the interpretative categories for the study of the relationship between identity and work in the context of a society transitioning out of the industrial era and into a fragmented scenario, whereby old and new forms of work coexist.
