Abstract

ABSTRACT In large aspects of contemporary career discourse, the importance of the “agile career” is asserted, although the speed of change has not been explicitly considered in relation to this concept. The political dimensions of the agile career via the lens of “speed” are explored in this theoretical paper. Particular attention is paid to Virilio’s paradigm of dromology, revealing how social positionality correlates with the distribution of “fear”, as well as resources to cope with the speed of change, thus promoting precarity. The embracement of speed and agility has resulted in a propaganda of progress, where those closer to the primary mode of production benefit over those at the margins, highlighting the tyranny of speed experienced by many within labour market.

对“敏捷职业”的批判性探索:通过术语的视角揭示不稳定的政治和经济

在当代职业话语的许多方面，“敏捷职业”的重要性得到了肯定，尽管变化的速度并没有被明确地考虑到这一概念。在这篇理论论文中，通过“速度”的视角探讨了敏捷职业生涯的政治维度。本书特别关注了Virilio的语言学范式，揭示了社会地位如何与“恐惧”的分布以及应对变化速度的资源相关，从而促进了不稳定性。对速度和灵活性的信奉导致了对进步的宣传，那些接近主要生产方式的人比那些处于边缘的人受益，突显了劳动力市场中许多人所经历的速度暴政。
