This is a move that many scholars have decried as part of the neoliberalization of the continent's once-robust welfare states. Much of the scholarship on activation, however, has focused on the formal and legal dimensions of policy change, obscuring how activation policies function at the level of everyday life and thus what they actually represent with respect to the broader economic and political shifts remaking contemporary Europe. This article, based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Norway between 2015 and 2016, examines one increasingly common activation scheme, the mandatory job-seeker course. While confirming that the courses propagate a neoliberal rhetoric of the “sellable self,” ethnographic evidence contests the notion that this rhetoric is itself evidence of a broader ideological shift within Norway. In fact, the opposite is the case. This rhetoric is not only continuous with a longstanding elite understanding of Norway as an “active society” but also potentially beneficial to the country's universal welfare state. Ultimately, this article argues that insofar as neoliberal rhetoric helps Norway’s unemployed overcome feelings of moral abjection and social disorientation to search for formal, tax-generating employment, it protects rather than undermines the social democratic order.","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/awr.12192","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47638291","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}

However, Euro-American concerns about radical reductions in labor security are countered by workforces in the “near South,” where precarious, unprotected work has long been the norm. I explore incrementalist organization in motorcycle taxi (ojek) drivers’ resistance to the flexible labor regime of Go-Jek, an Indonesian ride-hailing app. I examine ojek pangkalan (older-style informal-sector drivers) and Himpunan Driver Bandung Raya (HDBR, a grassroots app-based driver association) in the city of Bandung. Although antagonistic toward each other, ojek pangkalan and HDBR employ similar improvisatory strategies, notably micro-territorial basecamps and grassroots social security, to establish claims to their working lives. Incrementalist strategies in Indonesia are thus highly flexible in helping workers manage precarity across formal and informal contexts. By examining organization repertoires among app-based and older-style ojek drivers, this paper contributes to discussions about how the precarity of platform labor is produced and managed in a global context.","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/awr.12187","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43027335","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}

Based on an ethnographic study of Bulgarian maritime and waterfront workers, this article examines how shipping mobilities changed after 1989. This case study provides a unique vantage point for understanding the experiences of two generations in a stormy world of work. Before 1989, many countries in the Soviet Bloc had successful merchant navies. Fleets and transport infrastructures were owned and managed by each state, but also coordinated transnationally via the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON). Seafarers were a unique occupational group under state socialism. While they had more access to international mobility than other occupational groups, their economic and political freedom was still limited. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Bulgarian shipping industry joined the global market almost overnight. The profound social, economic, and political transformations unleashed by the change of regime coincided with the rapid internationalization, technological and security innovations, and marketization that were reshaping the maritime industry worldwide at the time. These overlapping transformations radically changed the working lives of Bulgarian seafarers, opening new opportunities for some, but also creating dramatic social inequalities in the formerly tight maritime community and shifting the balance between mobility and fixity of maritime labor. Bulgarian seafarers found themselves “at sea” in two ways simultaneously: not just employed in mobile and international workplaces, but also adapting to a society and job market in flux.","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/awr.12182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49172237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These initiatives are transforming conventional fishing patterns and may take different shapes: services for tourists who want to go out on the water for a day of “real fishing” on boat tours, the use and restoration of centuries-old ships, and local seafood catering services providing meals on land and at sea. This paper explores these initiatives in light of new mobility studies, aiming to analyze the changes that are occurring in the work of small-scale fisheries, to situate them in a wider structural context, and to understand the extent of these recent transformations and how they are tied to heritagization mechanisms. We wish to shed light on whether these changes are related to a decrease in small-scale fishing activity and a related loss in local environmental knowledge, or a form of renewal of local fishing practices and of “being in the coastal world.” Could it be the dawn of a “new maritimity,” a part of the rising “new rurality”?","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/awr.12173","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45788504","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}
