Those people govern your life, they are your government, no matter what spheres of influence they inhabit, private or public.

dana hilliot<p>==&gt;&gt;<br>(suite de la traduction de l'extrait du chapitre 1 de Kathi Weeks, The Problem with Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries, Duke University Press 2011)</p><p>***</p><p>"En tant que discours individualisant, l’éthique du travail remplit la fonction idéologique traditionnelle de rationalisation de l’exploitation et de légitimation de l’inégalité. Le fait que tout travail soit un bon travail, que tout travail soit également désirable et intrinsèquement utile est, comme l’a fait remarquer William Morris, «&nbsp;une croyance commode pour ceux qui vivent du travail des autres&nbsp;» (1999, 128). L’éthique protestante a également «&nbsp;légalisé l’exploitation de cette volonté spécifique de travailler&nbsp;», observe Weber, dans la mesure où elle «&nbsp;a interprété l’activité commerciale de l’employeur comme une vocation&nbsp;». Dans la perspective de l’éthique du travail, les gouvernements sont considérés comme devant protéger le bien-être des citoyens en défendant leur droit au travail, tandis que les employeurs n’extraient pas tant de la plus-value qu’ils ne répondent aux besoins concrets de leurs employés en matière de travail. Tout comme l’éthique protestante donnait à l’homme d’affaires bourgeois «&nbsp;l’assurance réconfortante que la distribution inégale des biens de ce monde était une dispensation spéciale de la Providence divine&nbsp;», l’éthique du travail offre à toutes les époques une puissante justification de l’inégalité économique (voir Beder 2000, 48&nbsp;; Bauman 1998, 65). De même que «&nbsp;le refus de travailler est symptomatique de l’absence de grâce&nbsp;» (Weber 1958, 159), l’état de pauvreté, moralement suspect, peut aujourd’hui être attribué au manque d’effort et de discipline de l’individu. Après tout, «&nbsp;Dieu&nbsp;» – aujourd’hui nous pourrions ajouter le marché – «&nbsp;aide ceux qui s’aident eux-mêmes&nbsp;» (115). En tant que discours individualisant, l’éthique du travail évite le soutien institutionnel à ce qui est censé être une responsabilité individuelle et occulte les processus structurels qui limitent son champ d’opportunités.</p><p>Mais l’éthique du travail ne remplit pas seulement la fonction idéologique classique qui consiste à faire passer les valeurs et les intérêts d’une classe pour les valeurs et les intérêts de tous. Elle remplit également une fonction plus disciplinaire&nbsp;: au-delà de la fabrication de significations communes, elle construit des sujets dociles. L’éthique du travail ne possède donc pas seulement une force épistémologique, mais une efficacité proprement ontologique. En effet, ce qui est essentiel dans l’éthique du travail, telle que Weber l’a décrite à l’origine, c’est ce qu’elle peut faire&nbsp;: livrer les travailleurs à leur exploitation, non seulement en fabriquant le consentement des sujets à l’exploitation capitaliste, mais en constituant à la fois des sujets exploitants et des sujets exploitables. Selon Weber, la fonction de subjectivation de l’éthique est cruciale. Plus qu’une idéologie, le nouveau discours sur le travail est un mécanisme disciplinaire qui construit les sujets en tant qu’individus productifs. L’impact de l’éthique protestante était comparable à l’existence monastique dans la mesure où cette ascèse mondaine cherchait «&nbsp;un contrôle méthodique sur l’homme tout entier&nbsp;». Elle était et reste, en ce sens, une force biopolitique, qui rend les populations à la fois productives et gouvernables, augmentant leurs capacités en même temps que leur docilité. Comme l’a décrit Foucault dans sa description de la production de l’individualité disciplinaire, «&nbsp;la discipline augmente les forces du corps (en termes économiques d’utilité) et diminue ces mêmes forces (en termes politiques d’obéissance)&nbsp;»&nbsp;; elle produit «&nbsp;à la fois un corps productif et un corps soumis&nbsp;». Le sujet individué est à la fois plus utile et plus maniable&nbsp;; «&nbsp;l’individu n’est pas, en d’autres termes, le contraire du pouvoir&nbsp;; l’individu est un des premiers effets du pouvoir&nbsp;» (Foucault 2003, 30)."</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/KathiWeeks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KathiWeeks</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MaxWeber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaxWeber</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Travail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Travail</span></a></p>
dana hilliot<p>Note en passant :</p><p>Dégager la dimension fétichiste des objets et des pratiques qui nous semblent "naturels", "dépolitisés", autrement dit, défamiliariser le monde, c'est là une tâche plus que jamais urgente (et ça tombe bien, tout le travail a déjà été fait, des tonnes de bouquins ont été écrits sur chacun de ces objets et des ces pratiques, suffit de les lire !)<br>J'ai beaucoup parlé ces derniers jours des réseaux sociaux, mais évidemment, il faut envisager le problème de manière plus globale. </p><p>Comme toujours, l'analyse critique du capitalisme (sa généalogie si vous préférez) nous rappelle que les choses n'ont pas toujours été telle qu'elles sont aujourd'hui, que ce qui nous paraît naturel est bien souvent le fruit (pourri) d'une décision idéologique, que ce qui ne nous paraît pas faire question s'origine en réalité dans des décisions politiques. Ce pourquoi il faut plus que jamais faire de l'histoire, de la géographie, de l'anthropologie, etc..</p><p>On sait (ou on ne sait pas justement, ou on préfère oublier ou passer sous silence) quelles histoires sinistres d'extraction et d'exploitation, de violence et de militarisation, sont attachées à quasiment chaque objet qui peuple notre environnement quotidien. Mais on oublie plus encore comment les pratiques emblématiques du capitalisme, ses articulation idéologiques, les pensées dont nous sommes porteurs et que nous incarnons (que nous y adhérions ou pas), sont devenus comme notre "seconde nature" - y compris le racisme, le masculinisme, le colonialisme etc..</p><p>Comme je suis plongé dans la lecture du livre génial de Kathi Weeks, The Problem with Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries, Duke University Press 2011, je ne peux m'empêcher de vous donner à lire cet extrait (il faudrait traduire le livre entier tant il est précieux) concernant la "naturalité du travail". Dans cet extrait, elle revient sur un des aspects de la critique Weberienne de ce que nous appelons parfois la "valeur travail" - ce que Max Weber appelle "l'éthique du travail", dont il dévoile la généalogie (la dimension historique de l'étude célèbre de Weber a été amplement discutée, mais peu importe ici.)</p><p>(ma traduction)</p><p>***</p><p>"Comme le souligne Weber, l’éthique du travail – et cela reste constant au cours de ses transformations historiques – est un discours individualisant. La réussite ou l’absence de réussite économique de l’individu dépend de son caractère et en est le reflet. Ce qui pouvait être considéré comme la responsabilité d’une collectivité devient le devoir de chaque individu&nbsp;; ainsi, vu sous l’angle de l’éthique puritaine, «&nbsp;le “Celui qui ne veut pas travailler ne mangera pas” de saint Paul, autrefois considéré comme pertinent pour la communauté dans son ensemble, s’applique désormais inconditionnellement à tout le monde&nbsp;». En d’autres termes, la responsabilité morale incombe désormais à l’individu plutôt qu’à la communauté, et les riches comme les pauvres «&nbsp;ne mangeront pas sans travailler&nbsp;». Cela s’applique d’autant plus au cours de l’ère industrielle, une fois que le travail salarié devient normatif&nbsp;; et c’est particulièrement vrai dans la période postindustrielle où la norme du soutien de famille devient de plus en plus universelle, une attente non seulement des chefs de famille, mais aussi de chaque citoyen adulte. Avec moins de cas de dépendance économique ou politique «&nbsp;légitime&nbsp;», «&nbsp;toute dépendance qui subsiste peut donc être interprétée comme la faute des individus&nbsp;» (Fraser et Gordon 1994, 325). L’indépendance est moins liée aux types de relations auxquelles on est soumis qu’à une qualité de caractère. La «&nbsp;dépendance postindustrielle&nbsp;» devient donc à la fois de plus en plus illégitime et «&nbsp;de plus en plus individualisée&nbsp;».</p><p>==&gt;&gt;&gt; (la suite ci-dessous)</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/KathiWeeks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KathiWeeks</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MaxWeber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaxWeber</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Travail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Travail</span></a></p>
