Abstract

SZPILBARG, Daniela  and  SAFERSTEIN, Ezequiel. Work experiences in informational capitalism: the case of Argentina’s publishing industry. Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.257-271. ISSN 1514-6871.

This paper aims to explore some changes that a new stage of capitalism has made to the world of work. As an industry that relies on the production and exchange of information, publishing seems an interesting angle from which to observe the changes that have occurred in the world of work, in which activities are turning increasingly towards an immaterial stage where the cognitive gains strength as the current brand of both production processes of exchange and consumption. Thus, from the analysis of three specific cases (Funesiana, Eterna Cadencia and Random House Mondadori) we will investigate ways of working in the publishing industry in a period marked by the deepening of financial and commercial internationalization and its link with ICT as the key that opens the door to the present.

Keywords : Publishing industry; Informational capitalism; ICT; Creative work.
