摘要

鉴于传统工作结构的变化，本文考察了人们对家庭劳动日益增长的兴趣。新宅地，尤其是兼职和休闲模式，揭示了中产阶级在不放弃现代高科技资本主义的优势和好处的情况下，从工资经济中获得自由的矛盾愿望。最近关于家庭生产价值的叙述肯定了对工作生活的更大控制，以及恢复令人满意、可持续和不那么疏远的生产形式的努力。与此同时，这些叙述暴露了“工作后”环境中令人不安的矛盾，例如对私人和个性化劳动力的更深投资、与土地所有权的不稳定关系，以及新自由主义紧缩为以家庭为基础的劳动力组织。有人认为，新的家园使人们看到了重新认识工作所产生的激进和反动的可能性。

Neo-homesteading

This essay examines the growing interest in home-based labor in light of the changing structures of conventional work. Neo-homesteading, particularly in its part-time and casual modes, reveals the conflicted middle-class desire to achieve freedom from the wage economy without abandoning the advantages and benefits of modern, high-tech capitalism. Recent narratives about the value of home production affirm the effort to assert greater control over work lives and to recuperate satisfying, sustainable, and less alienated forms of production. At the same time, these narratives expose troubling contradictions in the “postwork” landscape, such as a deeper investment in private and individualized labor, an unstable relationship to land ownership, and a neoliberal retrenchment into a family-based organization of labor. Neo-homesteading, it is argued, makes visible both the radical and the reactionary possibilities that emerge from the effort to reconceive work.

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
