This webinar is aimed to explore the intersection of three debates that converged ever closer during the COVID-19 pandemic . Firstly, we draw on empirically-grounded studies of the change of productive and reproductive work under advanced capitalism with an emphasis on the informal and gig economy. We connect these to recent research on the link between migration and social class, which has challenged discussions of cultural capital as merely transported across borders, urging scholars to explore how it is differentially activated by individual migrants. We intersect these two debates with the emerging discussions on the broken link between valorisation and remuneration of ‚essential work’ under the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficult relation between ‚risk’ and ’skill’, ‚worth’ and ‚reward’ especially for precarious and migrant workers. The webinar aims to contribute to the ongoing debates on the rise and fall of the progressive cycle of Latin America, and to lay the foundation for a larger process rethinking the link between migration, labour, social mobility in large processes of social transformation.
The event will take place online, please register so a zoom link is sent to you.
It will be in English and Spanish with simultaneous translation.
