Abstract

The world of production has changed and so has the more general discourse on work. A series of significant structural and political transformations have contributed to the diffusion of production organizations different from the past in which the principle of the co-existence between the time of delivery of the work and the space in which the work is provided has weakened. In this context, the very concept of workplace takes an ambiguous, hybrid, porous connotation, providing numerous opportunities but at the same time raising fundamental questions. The aim of the article is to consider some organizational innovations and to reflect upon some relevant developments in the field of economic and labor sociology starting from the analytical concept of the workplace.
