Closing lecture

The social and ecological crisis will not be solved by dismantling the welfare state, or by trying to restore it as a historical monument. It's by rethinking its architecture in the light of the world as it is and as we would like it to be. And, today as yesterday, the keystone will be the status accorded to work.
Faced with the moral, social, ecological and financial bankruptcy of neoliberalism, the horizon for work in the21stcentury is that of its emancipation from the exclusive reign of the commodity. As the case of research work shows, the professional statuses that have resisted the dynamics of the Total Market are not the fossils of a world destined to disappear, but rather the seeds of a truly human work regime that makes room for the meaning and content of work - that is, the accomplishment of a work.
