摘要

本文的目的是从弗里德里希·恩格斯的作品中理解在家工作的新兴实践。鉴于关于在家工作的争论日益激烈,特别是在2019冠状病毒病大流行的背景下,本文回顾了弗里德里希·恩格斯的一些文本,以理解分配、自由、必要性和工作的问题。在印度这样的发展中国家,由于数字基础设施有限,家中工作空间不足,工作条件不稳定,在家工作的想法变得尤为重要。然而,数字网络和设备在这些条件下发挥着关键作用,并经常提供“新自由”和灵活性的承诺。不只是中产阶级的专业人士,在经济和社会突然崩溃的情况下,在家工作的想法涉及到工作和劳动力的其他几个方面。在资本主义的帮助下,新的生产组织形成了新的生产关系和新的困境,恩格斯关于自由、工作和工人阶级状况的思想,对于理解这些转变,特别是在新自由主义的发展中国家,如印度,在全国范围内封锁的情况下,变得越来越相关。

Freedom, Distribution and Work from Home: Rereading Engels in the Time of the COVID-19-Pandemic
The aim of this paper is to understand the emerging practices of work from home drawing from the works of Friedrich Engels. Situating the rising debate on work from home, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this article revisits some of the texts by Friedrich Engels to understand the issues of distribution, freedom, necessity and work. The idea of work from home becomes especially critical in the context of a developing country like India, with its limited access to digital infrastructure, inadequate work-space at home, and precarious work conditions. However, the digital network and devices play a pivotal role under these conditions and often offer a promise of “new freedom” and flexibility. It is not just the middle-class professionals, but several other dimensions of work and labour are implicated within the idea of work from home under sudden economic and social disruption. The new organisation of production, assisted by capitalism, forges new relations of production, and new predicaments and Engels's thoughts on freedom, work and the condition of the working class become increasingly relevant to understand these shifts, particularly in neoliberal, developing country like India under nationwide lockdown.
