身份已成为社会科学关注的焦点，涉及一系列问题和研究领域(Cornelissen、Haslam和Balmer，2007年)。关于身份的文件长期以来一直是国际劳工程序会议(劳工程序会议)的一个特色，2009年的活动是关于这一主题的最多的一次。分娩过程分析(LPA)的关注点和关联点是什么？从历史上看，它一直专注于所谓的“缺失主题”的辩论。这是一个老生常谈的领域，我们不想在这里重复任何细节(尽管请参阅本书中Jaros的章节)。可以说，中心问题一直是如何填补布雷弗曼客观主义最初留下的空白--他自我限制的选择，忽略了与他认为的长期工作退化趋势有关的工人行动和态度。从某种意义上讲，这是一个完全误导性的辩论框架，因为很少有人同意布雷弗曼的观点，原因很简单，即‘主观因素’是客观图景的一部分。因此，所有随后对劳动过程传统的研究都以这样或那样的方式对工人中介进行了检验和理论化。对于主流的LPA，主观因素是通过考虑抵制(以及最近的不当行为)、创造力(例如默契技能和知识对劳动力和资本的重要性)和同意(尤其是有助于将工人与工作场所秩序捆绑在一起的游戏和可自由支配的做法)的问题来解决的。从广义上讲，这些重点符合马克思关于劳动自我活动的著作传统(没有关于工人阶级历史使命的目的论信仰)，以及专注于工人非正式自组织的工业社会学文献。
Identity has become the focal point of interest across the social sciences and with reference to a range of issues and fields of study (Cornelissen, Haslam and Balmer 2007). Papers on identity have long been a feature of the International Labour Process Conference (ILPC) and the 2009 event had its largest stream on that topic. What is the point of interest and connection for labour process analysis (LPA)? Historically, it has been focused on the so-called ‘missing subject’ debate. This is a well-trodden territory that we do not want to repeat in any detail here (though see chapter by Jaros in this volume). Suffice to say, the central issue has been how to fill the hole originally left by Braverman’s objectivism – his self-limiting choice to omit consideration of worker action and attitudes in relation to what he regarded as the long run tendency to work degradation. In one sense, this is a wholly misleading frame for debate in that few ever agreed with Braverman’s position, for the simple reason that the ‘subjective factor’ is part of the objective picture. All subsequent research in a labour process tradition has, therefore, examined and theorised worker agency in one way or another. For mainstream LPA, the subjective factor is addressed through consideration of issues of resistance (and more recently misbehaviour), creativity (such as the significance of tacit skills and knowledge to labour and capital) and consent (notably the games and discretionary practices that help to tie workers to the workplace order). In broad terms, such emphases are consistent with the Marxian tradition of writings on the self-activity of labour (without the teleological belief in the historical mission of the working class) and literatures of industrial sociology that focused on informal self-organisation of workers.
