Descripción
Sumario:Based on a historical overview on the emergenceof telework, this study examines the contradictorycapitalist trends of concentrating and displacinglabor, investigating the similarities and differencesin telework regarding traditional forms of homebased work. To do so, it analyzes the work process and the nature of activities developed under this modality from a Marxist approach. This historicalperspective contributes to build a long-term view ofthe transformations studied and to question deeplyrooted preconceptions about female employment,related to women’s supposed preference forperforming domestic work activities. Moreover, itallows us to ponder the usefulness of incorporatinglegal devices created to regulate home-based workinto telework legislation, which would contributeto avoid labor flexibility therein.
