Interim Conference

Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano, Italy

19-21 March 2015

Session: The ‘Spaces and Places’ of Professional Work in the Post-crisis Economy

[Session linked to EU FP7 COST Action IS1202 ‘Dynamics of Virtual Work’]

Convenors: Ivana Pais, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and Alessandro Gandini, University of Milan, Italy

Many aspects of labour in the post-crisis economy are reshaped through the diffusion of innovative and collaborative practices within production, professions and organization in an unprecedented way. Co-working, commons based peer production and online platforms of ‘digital labour’, in dialectic relationship with urban environments and the offline-online boundaries, appear to be particularly interesting phenomena to look at the transformation of the spaces and places where workers and professionals work, as these seem to become ‘milieux’ to enable different organizational modalities, working arrangements and routines.

This session will collect contributions from a plurality of aspects that challenge this scope of analysis, from the study of co-working spaces to the processes of value creation across such physical and digital environments or platforms, with the purpose of thinking at the workplace in terms of different  modalities of space, time and relations, transformations and boundaries.
