Summary: | Asides from employment, there are questions about what other connections exist between pathologies attributed to work and the sexual division of labour, versus social relationships, including gender. Mobilising her experience as a consultant, the author demonstrates that analysing work activities means recognising the consubstantiality of professional and domestic work. She highlights different social and subjective work dynamics characterised by individual and collective illusions regarding the infinite growth of technical power. The collapse of these representations may produce upheavals but developing such crises will reveal, if only obliquely, the imprint of social relationships and spaces of subversion.
