Organized by UNSAM, CALAS, and the Max Weber Forum (Delhi), the event explores work processes and capital-labor relations within informational regimes, focusing on the knowledge and practices of workers rather than state or capital-driven perspectives. Inspired by thinkers such as Michel de Certeau and James Scott, the symposium seeks to bring together contributions on labor across diverse historical and regional contexts, especially in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
Co-convener is Christian De Vito from the WISO.
Target audience: graduates, researchers, activists, artists, and community leaders engaged with the theme, contributing from diverse disciplines, knowledges, and practices, and offering both theoretical-methodological and experiential perspectives.
