Description du projet
La question de l’avenir du travail à l’ère du numérique
Le travail est une source d’identité importante. La numérisation des processus de travail a toutefois également transformé son mécanisme de production de sens. Pour mieux comprendre la relation entre l’identité et le travail dans notre ère numérique, nous avons besoin d’un nouveau cadre d’interprétation. Le projet CRAFTWORK, financé par l’UE, examine la relation entre identité et travail dans le contexte des industries «néo-artisanales» de l’ère numérique. Le projet vise à innover de manière significative et à renforcer l’étude critique des nouvelles formes de travail à travers plusieurs disciplines et domaines de recherche et à contribuer au défi sociétal majeur que constitue l’avenir du travail.
Objectif
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.
