RECOVERED COMPANIES AS A GRASSROOTS SOLUTION TO UN(DER)EMPLOYMENT AND LACK OF DECENT WORK: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VIO.ME AND KAZOVA EXPRIENCES

2019冠状病毒病大流行放大了新自由主义政策的两个现象：就业不足和缺乏体面工作。在当代资本主义中，就业不足和缺乏体面工作的可能解决方案主要是在宏观层面上对国家、市场和社会的交叉分析进行讨论。然而，自我管理的恢复工厂试图在另一种规模上解决这些问题，在这种规模上，工人采取行动，而不是等待宏观层面的安排或革命到位。尽管近几十年来对这一现象的关注很大，但文献仍然缺乏比较的视角来区分长期可持续性的动态，如果自我管理的恢复工厂将提供可靠的替代方案，这是必不可少的。我计划在欧盟边境的两个遥远而又相近的背景下进行比较研究：Vio。在希腊的塞萨洛尼基，我的经历还在继续；在土耳其的伊斯坦布尔，卡佐瓦的经历正在消退。我的目标是通过特别关注以下方面的影响来达成对比解释：(1)工厂内部管理的组织重组；Ii)将自主生产与团结经济结合起来的生产过程和分配网络；Iii)工作空间和工人主体性的转换与再生产；四是支持工人的性别化的“隐形”劳动。

The Covid-19 pandemic amplified the two epiphenomena of the neoliberal policies: un(der)employment and lack of decent work.Possible solutions to un(der)employment and lack of decent work in contemporary capitalism are mostly discussed at macro-level intersecting analysis of state, market, and society. Self-managed recovered factories, however, have attempted to solve these problems at an alternative scale in which workers take action without waiting for macro-level arrangements or a revolution to fall into place. Despite the significant attention on the phenomenon during recent decades, the literature still lacks the comparative perspective to distinguish the dynamics of long-run sustainability which is a sine qua non if self- managed recovered factories would provide reliable alternatives. I plan to carry out a comparative study in two distant yet proximate contexts across the EU border: Vio.Me-an ongoing experience in Thessaloniki, Greece-and Kazova-a fading experience in Istanbul, Turkey. I will aim to reach a contrastive explanation by particularly focusing on the effects of i) the organizational reconfiguration of management within the factory; ii) the production process and distribution networks which bind the autonomous sight of production with solidarity economies; iii) the transformation and reproduction of work-space and subjectivity of workers; and iv) the gendered "invisible" labor supporting the workers.
