This research project will look at the social reproduction of, and relationship between, the body, the self, and the dogma of work in the context of casualisation in the United Kingdom. To explore ideas, experiences and policies in relation to changing bodies at/in relation to work, I will follow feminist materialist and critical disability studies literature. According to Garland-Thomas (feminist disability studies scholar), 'like disability studies practitioners who are unaware of feminism, feminist scholars are often simply unacquainted with disability studies' perspective' (2002:2). It is precisely this point of departure that I wish to take in exploring the implications of self-employment, the work ethic, autonomy and possibilities for work refusal. Further, the centrality of work in capitalist social relations will be explored through Marxist Autonomist literature which is preoccupied with potentialities for changing the conditions of work in society. Data co-production will be created through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and diary entries of casualised workers in Britain whose bodies have been affected by precarity. These will reveal what a 'productive member of society' and a 'work ethic' may mean from the standpoint of casualised workers whose bodies have struggled with precarious work.

该研究项目将研究英国临时工背景下身体、自我和工作教条的社会再生产以及它们之间的关系。要探索思想，经验和政策，在改变机构/有关工作，我将遵循女权主义唯物主义和批判性残疾研究文献。根据Garland-Thomas（女性主义残疾研究学者）的说法，“就像不了解女性主义的残疾研究从业者一样，女性主义学者通常只是不熟悉残疾研究的视角”（2002：2）。正是这个出发点，我希望在探讨自雇的影响，职业道德，自主权和拒绝工作的可能性。此外，工作在资本主义社会关系中的中心地位将通过马克思主义自治主义文献来探讨，这些文献专注于改变社会工作条件的潜力。数据联合生产将通过深入的，半结构化的采访和日记条目创建，这些工人的身体受到了不稳定性的影响。这些将揭示什么是“社会的生产性成员”和“职业道德”可能意味着从工人的立场，他们的身体已经挣扎在不稳定的工作。
