Rede, coworking e emancipação intangível : um olhar sobre a flexibilidade, biopolítica e subjetividade a partir da reestruturação produtiva

Abstract

The present work is a critical reflection about the flexibility and subjectivity in the workplace, taking the main object of analysis Coworking offices. Through data from a global survey, analysis of institutional discourses and ethnographic work developed based on this new model of work, we relate the information taken from these sources to contemporary social theory that deals with issues relating to the restructuring process and its impact on the the world of work (in main authors as Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello, David Harvey, Anthony Giddens and Richard Sennett) articulating their observations with studies on the construction of networks from subjectivities modeled after existing capitalist ideals (based on authors such as Félix Guattari, Peter Pál Pelbart, Michel Foucault and Michel Hardt and Antonio Negri). Throughout this work, we sought to know if the networks formed from these areas contribute to a real autonomy of individuals in relation to biopolitics domination promoted by the current world of work. The conducted analysis is intended to discuss the network as a biopolitical mechanism, and also evidence its perspective of biopotency.
