本文认为，社会排斥的概念最初是为了描述贫困和不平等的多种后果而发展起来的，现在已经成为一种新的霸权话语中的一个关键因素。在这一论述中，社会凝聚和团结等术语比比皆是，社会排斥不是与包容相反，而是与融合形成对比，后者被解释为融入劳动力市场。本文分析了这一话语在最近的欧盟政策文件和《伯里报告》以及威尔·赫顿的著作中的运作。这一论述被描述为基本符合涂尔干式，因为它将资本主义特有的社会分裂视为社会凝聚力异常破裂的结果，而社会凝聚力本应由分工来维持。文章认为，在这一论述中，社会排斥的概念既是为了贬低无偿工作的价值，也是为了掩盖有偿工人之间的不平等，以及掩盖拥有财产的阶级和社会其他阶层之间的基本社会划分。
This article argues that the concept of social exclusion, which was orig inally developed to describe the manifold consequences of poverty and inequality, has become embedded as a crucial element within a new hegemonic discourse. Within this discourse, terms such as social co hesion and solidarity abound, and social exclusion is contrasted not with inclusion but with integration, construed as integration into the labour market. The paper analyses the operation of this discourse in recent pol icy documents from the European Union and the Borrie Report, as well as in the work of Will Hutton. The discourse is described as fundamen tally Durkheimian because it treats social divisions which are endemic to capitalism as resulting from an abnormal breakdown in the social co hesion which should be maintained by the division of labour. The article argues that, within this discourse, the concept of social exclusion oper ates both to devalue unpaid work and to obscure the inequalities between paid workers, as well as to obscure the fundamental social division be tween the property-owning class and the rest of society.
