Descrição
Resumo:Contemporary capitalism is marked by a disciplinary revolution. Thanks to the diffusion of just-in-time, flexible production systems, new techniques that impose a new form of discipline are increasingly common across many workplaces. This is conceptually distinct from the Fordist disciplinary regime organized around a swift punishing of worker disobedience.
