A TRIBO DE ISSACAR Uma tribo de assalariados

Esse trabalho bibliográfico traz como tema a tribo de Issacar. Ela faz parte da formação do sistema tribal de Israel, pelo menos no seu início, e tem como principal característica a vida dura de homem trabalhador, como tantos na história da humanidade, mas que dentro da sociedade tribal de Israel se diferenciou por ter aberto mão da possibilidade de viver livre da dominação egípcia/cananéia por encontrar em uma região difícil, um local que lhe parecesse ser de segurança e satisfação. O paraíso que, em contrapartida, lhe exigiu muito trabalho e suor e por conta disso acabou por batizá-lo com o curioso nome de Issacar o homem assalariado. Não foi fácil sua decisão de não passar a vida lutando contra os seus opressores, mas inserido em seu meio, ganhar sua vida e seu pão. A História de Israel, longe de ser repetitiva e já determinada, é intrigante e fascinante justamente pelas possibilidades de descoberta, na vida de seu povo a novidade empolgante de vida que o Deus da vida quer oferecer a quem souber viver. Trabalho não é castigo, trabalho é bênção, trabalho é sagrado e alimenta de horizontes o tempo acordado de viver. Apoiado nos textos de Js19,17-23, Gn 49,14-15 e Dt 33,18-19 vamos descobrir a ousadia de um grupo de pessoas que resolve fazer diferente, vivendo em uma região pouco atrativa geograficamente, essas pessoas fazem da sua força de trabalho a ferramenta que lhes garante estar onde querem, fazendo o que querem. Esse é Issacar.

Uncovering poiesis : the role of production in technical communication, work, and public life

This dissertation is a report on a collaborative project between the Computer Science and the Humanities Departments to develop case studies that focus on issues of communication in the workplace, and the results of their use in the classroom. My argument is that case study teaching simulates real-world experience in a meaningful way, essentially developing a teachable way of developing phronesis, the reasoned capacity to act for the good in public. In addition, it can be read as a "how-to" guide for educators who may wish to construct their own case studies. To that end, I have included a discussion of the ethnographic methodologies employed, and how it was adapted to our more pragmatic ends. Finally, I present my overarching argument for a new appraisal of the concept of techné. This reappraisal emphasizes its productive activity, poiesis, rather than focusing on its knowledge as has been the case in the past. I propose that focusing on the telos, the end outside the production, contributes to the diminishment, if not complete foreclosure, of a rich concept of techné.

Work at hand: an exploration of gesture in the context of work and everyday life to inform the design of gestural input devices

This research explores gestures used in the context of activities in the workplace and in everyday life in order to understand requirements and devise concepts for the design of gestural information appliances. A collaborative method of video interaction analysis devised to suit design explorations, the Video Card Game, was used to capture and analyse how gesture is used in the context of six different domains: the dentist's office; PDA and mobile phone use; the experimental biologist's laboratory; a city ferry service; a video cassette player repair shop; and a factory flowmeter assembly station. Findings are presented in the form of gestural themes, derived from the tradition of qualitative analysis but bearing some similarity to Alexandrian patterns. Implications for the design of gestural devices are discussed.

La conciliación del empleo y del hogar: respuesta y reflejo de una organización del trabajo construida desde la institución del género

A la luz del debate en torno a la relación entre la vida laboral y familiar, este artículo propone un modelo compuesto por las variables: sexo, edad, estudios, parentesco y dos índices nombrados por vsp y vsf. El primero (vsp) trata de situar a la población ocupada en una escala que refleje la situación en términos de modalidad de contrato, jornadas, ingresos y supervisión. El segundo refleja las cargas familiares. Se plantean dos versiones distintas del modelo: vsp como dependiente o vsf. El objetivo de este ejercicio es doble: 1) observar hasta qué punto las cargas domésticas influyen en la posición dentro del puesto de trabajo remunerado, y 2) averiguar qué variable sociodemográfica tiene mayor influencia sobre ellas. Los datos han sido extraídos de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida en el Trabajo (ECVT 2001, 2002 y 2003). A la luz de los resultados, la distribución por sexo en «vsp» y «vsf» es significativamente distinta: los hombres asalariados ocupan las mejores posiciones. Además, el modelo sólo actúa para las mujeres asalariadas principales de familia (cabezas de familia y cónyuges). Esta última observación es completamente coherente con una organización de trabajo construida desde la institución del género.

Work-life Balance and Gender Regime After the Economic Transition

Work-life balance (WLB) is a key issue in our societies in which there is increasing pressure to be permanently available on demand and to work more intensively, and when due to technological change the borders between work and private life appear to be dissolving. However, the social, institutional and normative frames of a region have a huge impact on how people experience work and private life, where the borders between these spheres lie and how much control individuals have in managing these borders. Based on these arguments, this editorial to the special issue Work-life balance/imbalance: individual, organisational and social experiences in Intersections. EEJSP draws attention to the social institutions, frameworks and norms which have an effect on experience, practices and expectations about work-life balance. Concerning the time horizon, this editorial focuses on the change of regime as a reference point since socialist and post-socialist eras differ significantly, although there is still some continuity between them. The authors of this introduction offer an overview of the situation in CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) based mainly on examples of Visegrad countries.

Female employment from the household. Towards a comprehensive analysis of work-life articulation

Research on women’s employment has proliferated over recent decades, often under a perspective that conceptualizes female labour market activity as independent of male presences and absences in the productive and reproductive spheres. In the face of these approaches, the article argues the need to focus on the couple as the unit of analysis of work-life articulation. After referring to the main theoretical arguments that, from a gender perspective within labour studies, have pointed out the relevance of placing the household as the central space for the analysis of the sexual division of labour, the article reviews different empirical contributions that have incorporated such perspective in the international literature. Next, the state of the art in the Spanish literature is presented, before arguing the desirability of applying such framework of analysis to the study of employment and care work in Spanish households, which are at present undergoing major transformations.

The life impact of burns: the perspective from burn persons in Brazil during their rehabilitation phase

Method. Participants were 18 years of age or older, who had been discharged from hospitalisation between 6 months and 1 year before the interview, or who underwent reconstructive surgery during the previous year, or who were under outpatient follow-up awaiting reconstructive surgery. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. Results. Thirty-eight of the 44 participants (86.4%) reported some type of changes associated with the burn injury, the treatment, or both, regarding the following aspects: work, leisure, relationships, religious ties, educational activities and habits (smoking, using alcohol and drugs and dressing style). The data showed a statistically significant association between burns on at least one of the upper limbs (with or without hands) and changes in work. Conclusions. Some of the aspects mentioned by the participants, such as work and leisure activities, need to be further researched in order to improve our understanding of the impact that these changes causes in the person`s life.

The Life Course Determinants of Vulnerability in Late Careers

Late career is often seen as a more vulnerable life-stage in the labour market, in which workers may experience a deterioration in job quality. Using a life course perspective and longitudinal data, this article analyses the vulnerability associated with late career by focusing on four occupational dimensions: working-time, career continuity, retirement timing and income change. The research is carried out using data from Switzerland, a country where the age profile of the labour force is an increasing issue. The paper also adopts a cumulative disadvantage perspective to examine the impact of previous work and family life experiences on work life vulnerability at older age. Our data come from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARELIFE). The paper uses cluster analysis, sequence analysis and ordered logistic regression. Results show that women with previous family responsibilities resulting in long-term unemployment or caring, often with health complications, are more likely to be vulnerable to deterioration in job quality in late career. This suggests that experiences in the last period of the working life may be just as gendered as earlier periods.
