It outlines three dominant ways of conceptualising work – as commodified, informal and precarious – and demonstrates the ways in which all three are constructed against a particular idea of wage employment. An alternative framework of ‘ordinary work’ is presented which de-centres the wage through a focus on everyday values and practices in diverse economies. This framework proposes to broaden the socioeconomic imaginary of work, opening up new possibilities for how work, identity and security might be woven together differently. The chapter ends by outlining the structure of the book, organised around three key themes: ruptures, struggles and possibilities.","PeriodicalId":169384,"journal":{"name":"Beyond the Wage","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124820212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon the life histories of two informal entrepreneurs in Zandspruit informal settlement, it demonstrates the ways in which wage work in South Africa’s racialised economy disrupts the rhythms of life in Zandspruit and disembodies people from the relationships that are essential to achieving socio-economic prosperity. By examining the social, relational and reciprocal dimensions of self-employment—often overlooked in individualistic and self-enterprising accounts of entrepreneurship—the chapter shows how ‘being your own boss’ opens up experimental spaces for forms of identity, agency and association which are otherwise unavailable in a racialised employment market. The chapter concludes by arguing that self-employment is attractive for young men insofar as it provides them with the time and space to invest in valued relationships.","PeriodicalId":169384,"journal":{"name":"Beyond the Wage","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126505347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through three ethnographic portraits in three cities, the chapter explores the relationship between the insecure wage that serves to render a person legible to certain formal institutions and authorities, and the ‘side hustle’ that serves as a crucial but less visible form of investment and return. The chapter seeks to deepen our understanding of how diverse economic activities are organised and narrated through the ordinary working lives of individuals in different regions of the world.","PeriodicalId":169384,"journal":{"name":"Beyond the Wage","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124268067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
