Drawing on disability/chronicity cases from India, Germany, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil/Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States, authors in this issue study how people navigate and reshape the boundaries between labor, care, and recognition. Based on these insights, this introduction calls for scholarly engagement with visions of work as they emerge from what Faye Harrison calls ex-centric sites, i.e., viewing the margins of normative labor regimes as analytical loci for knowledge creation. We consider work not only in the context of how capitalist and biomedical systems produce debilitation and moral distinction but also as a transformative sphere, irreducible to predominant categories of employment and productivity.

This paper examines how Delhi's air pollution crisis and its compounding impacts on residents' health disrupt normative ideas of work, generating a new hierarchy of values that centers the ability to breathe freely. Based on ethnographic research with two virtual activist groups, this study traces how white-collar professionals engage in labor-related activism that, while limited in scope, carries the emancipatory potential to subvert dominant preferences within late capitalist structures in the Global South. My interlocutors navigate shared challenges brought on by exposure to pollutants, including breathlessness, fatigue, asthma, headaches—ailments that have become chronic, recurring with the rise of pollution levels. Drawing on the anthropology of work and environmental anthropology, this paper shows how impaired bodies become an extension of the toxic landscape, and how the embodied experience of work leads to the desire to breathe freely through a reimagining of economic participation, as individuals seek alternative professional trajectories, advocate for workplace adaptations, and, in some cases, relocate in pursuit of cleaner environments. As my interlocutors find themselves reordering perceived values at work, it reveals how chronicity and crisis can disrupt normative economic practice and create distinct visions of a good life.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144647733","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}

An element of “daily lives” off the farm includes preparedness at school and towards possible employment opportunities. The question of employment animates this article: for therapy riders at True Hearts, employment opportunities, linked to both potential self-sufficiency and also a sense of self-worth, are available on the farm. This article asks what this employment looks like in practice and argues that such opportunities come at a cost for the full-time care workers at True Hearts, who erode their own health and wellbeing in service of their students.

Neutrality, epitomized as Whiteness, confers privileges that hinge on being neurotypical, equating neutrality with both Whiteness and the perception of normalcy. For individuals who are both autistic and non-White, navigating this construct often means enduring intersecting forms of oppression. This article examines these dynamics through the personal narratives of a Black neurotypical woman and an autistic Latina in the workplace. Drawing on Critical Racial Studies, Critical Autism Studies, Whiteness Studies, and ethnographic research, we highlight the urgent need for collaboration across these fields. To advance this effort, we introduce the term <i>neuroaquilombar</i>, representing a deliberate approach to cultivating collective spaces that affirm cultural identity for Black and non-White populations while embracing neurological diversity as a natural aspect of humanity. Through collaborative autoethnography as <i>escrevivências</i>, we reflect on the challenges of conforming to capitalist productivity standards in a society structured for the success of the White, able-bodied majority. By recounting our workplace experiences, we aim to deepen understanding, foster connections that humanize diverse experiences, and issue a call to action for advocates in both spheres. Additionally, we seek to showcase new forms of engagement that transcend the extractive practices often associated with anthropological research conducted by non-disabled White scholars.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144647565","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}

How do the tools and processes of disability assessment fragment, quantify, and measure bodies, body parts, and physical capacities? How do these medical and legal forms of compartmentalization translate physical capacity into a bioeconomically standardized ability to work, which I call “bodyworkability”? I explore these questions by focusing on coal miners' medical and labor experiences in the Soma Basin, Turkey. Bodyworkability describes the medico-legal substitution of body parts—limbs, muscles, bones, organs, tissues, nerves—with quantified units of standardized ability to work. The concept illuminates the distinction between physical capacity and the ability to perform specific types of work, enhancing understandings of both labor power and disability. The article centers on two disability assessment tools: the Table of Percentages of Handicap [<i>Özür Oranları Cetveli</i>]—or Barema, as used by the Council of Europe—and Balthazard's Formula/Index, used for individuals with multiple disabling conditions. Based on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork, the concept of bodyworkability emerges from the lived experiences of miners who are injured, maimed, or diagnosed with occupational illnesses due to work accidents, disasters, and toxicity, and who struggle to obtain official disability recognition.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144646860","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}

Recognition as a worker is meant to redress the particularities that render the exploitation of domestic workers so intimate, painful, and naturalized. A decade after the Convention's passage is a reasonable period in which to assess its impact, as the papers in the special issue do in a variety of sites. The introduction discusses the limitations of the regulation of work in changing domestic workers' conditions. First, labor studies scholars have shown how contracts can cement inequalities. Second, attempts to standardize domestic labor through work contracts and the law rely on liberalism's supposedly unparalleled capacity to correct historical harms and perfect human relations. Moreover, studies in legal pluralism highlight the ways that informal work is organized according to social conventions. Forms of resistance by domestic workers indicate that they use a sense of rights based both on their status as workers and from other social domains to negotiate employment conditions. This leads us to the conclusion that all forms of energy expended, both paid and unpaid, should be considered forms of work.</p>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"45 2","pages":"59-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143252661","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}

Since then, domestic workers' legal equality has stood against the intersectional inequalities they still endure vis-à-vis their employers and that challenge advancement to their labor rights. Based on ethnographic research conducted in Buenos Aires between 2016 and 2018 with domestic workers' rights advocates, this article investigates how they contend with these challenges. It examines the interpretive labor they engage in as they encourage workers to undertake situated strategies to advance their labor rights. These strategies consist of increasing workers' knowledge of their rights while, simultaneously, encouraging them to execute dissembling practices to claim and access them. These dissembling practices allow workers to perform the appropriate behaviors according to intersecting master categories of social differentiation in a context of systemic intersectional inequality. Concurrently, they enable workers to avoid direct confrontation with their employers, thus helping them to enforce their rights without jeopardizing their means of subsistence. Through these pedagogies of awareness and subterfuge, advocates create a space in which the law can be effected, promoting workers' agency without compromising their livelihoods.</p>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"45 2","pages":"120-129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143252356","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}
