ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I focus on (some of) the consequences of the identity of contemporary workers produced by the “digitalization” of society. Digital media have altered our relationship to the world, to the others and to ourselves. They are more than just mediators: most of them are also interlocutors, sources of knowledge. This paradigm shift has changed not only people’s availability and capacity to work, but also the entire relationship to the idea of work and to the relationship between subjects, action, activity, and the engagement with space and time. In conclusion, I address the problem of the potential interference/function of the law in such a complex frame.
