[work and identity]
This is the page of the book Work and Identity in Dark Times.
From an analysis of the meaning that work acquired in modernity as one of the main reference points of personal identity, the book asks how the arrangement between work and identity was gradually dismantled in postmodernity.
It explores why this happened and what its consequences are for the formation of identity today, producing a broad map of the history of work in the West and of its cultural and identity-related representations.
