Este texto se centra en la relación entre la performance, la performatividad y la precariedad en el arte contemporáneo, a través del análisis de algunas piezas de artista como las realizadas por Mierle Laderman Ukeles (Denver, Colorado, 1939), Andrea Fraser (Billings, Montana, 1965) y Santiago Sierra (Madrid, 1966). Para ello se consideran las aportaciones teóricas realizadas desde los estudios de la performance y desde la teoría social, en concreto las aportaciones de Victor Turner, Judith Butler e Isabell Lorey. Los objetivos que se persiguen son dos: la primera, establecer la conexión entre las nociones de precariedad y performatividad y, la segunda, aplicar un análisis a las performances seleccionadas. La hipótesis del texto parte de entender que desde el análisis de estas piezas pueden extrapolarse algunas conclusiones generales sobre la precariedad a las condiciones de trabajo del arte contemporáneo. This text focuses on the relationship between performance art, performativity and job insecurity in contemporary art, through the analysis of works of some artist that are considered to be relevant: Mierle Laderman Ukeles (Denver, Colorado, 1939), Andrea Fraser (Billings, Montana, 1965) and Santiago Sierra (Madrid, 1966). To this aim, contributions around these concepts from performance studies and social theory are considered, specifically the writings of Victor Turner, Judith Butler and Isabell Lorey. The objectives are two: the first, to establish the connection between the notions of precariousness and performativity and, the second, to apply an analysis to the selected works.We have started from the hypothesis that the analysis of theseperformances, can be used to extrapolated some general conclusions about the precariousness to working conditions ofcontemporary art.

Quantitative and qualitative job insecurity: associations with job satisfaction and well-being Quantitative and qualitative job insecurity: associations with job satisfaction and well-being Y. Handaja & H. De Witte, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, June 2007, nr. 2, pp. 137-159 This study analyses the associations between both quantitative and qualitative job insecurity and job satisfaction and psychological ill-being. We also analyse whether the relationship between job insecurity and psychological ill-being is mediated by job satisfaction. A more subtle and differentiated measurement of qualitative job insecurity is used, in which insecurity is measured regarding four aspects: the job content, working circumstances, working conditions and social relations. Data gathered among Belgian bank employees are used to test the hypotheses. The results show that both quantitative and qualitative job insecurity are negatively associated with job satisfaction and positively associated with psychological ill-being. The relationship between job insecurity and psychological ill-being is only partially mediated by job satisfaction. This signifies that the impact of job insecurity exceeds the boundaries of work, since it exerts an autonomous impact on the psychological well-being of individual workers. Limitations of the research and recommendations for further research are discussed.

Este artículo es elaborado a partir del trabajo realizado en los seminarios que impartió el profesor Juan Albarrán en el seno del máster de Hª del Arte Contemporáneo y Cultura Visual, acogido por el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), titulados “Del performance art a los performance studies”, entre los meses de octubre y diciembre de 2017. En él se moviliza la concepción del cuerpo en la filosofía butleriana para pensar el asambleísmo y la resistencia civil en los últimos años de la dictadura franquista, tomando como caso de estudio cuatro acciones políticas y asociativas comprendidas entre 1976 y 1979. Los problemas desplegados se enlazarán con el concepto de surrogate performance (performance suplente) formulado por Philip Auslander, para esbozar los usos políticos del registro fotográfico de estas asambleas y su orientación hacia una tarea de politización de la memoria

History And Theory

Integrating post-Operaismo social theory with recent turns in performance studies shows how such theory complicates and is complicated by cross-arts questions around virtuosity and affective labor. Such complications emerge, not only in the contemporary art sphere, but also in the history and theory developed by performance studies as a discipline.

The Relationship

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.

The paper examines the relationship between praxeology and Schutzian phenomenology. It does so by tracing and comparing the conceptualizations of sense and sensemaking in both approaches. In a first step the phenomenological concept of mental and subjective sense and meaning is discerned. Subsequently, different disengagements from this concept within interpretative sociologies are reconstructed. It is argued that those disengagements, which seek to replace the understanding of sense and meaning as private, ,inner’ entities with notions of the ,publicness’ of practical social sensemaking are crucial for advancing a praxeological perspective in social theory.

The Relationship

The social policy of a country is a set of specific activities aimed at regulating the social relations between different in their social status subjects. This approach to clarifying social policy is also called functional and essentially addresses social policy as an activity to regulate the relationship of equality or inequality in society. It provides an opportunity to look for inequalities in the economic positions of individuals in relation to ownership, labor and working conditions, distribution of income and consumption, social security and health, to look for the sources of these inequalities and their social justification or undue application.The modern state takes on social functions that seek to regulate imbalances, to protect weak social positions and prevent the disintegration of the social system. It regulates the processes in society by harmonizing interests and opposing marginalization. Every modern country develops social activities that reflect the specifics of a particular society, correspond to its economic, political and cultural status. They are the result of political decisions aimed at directing and regulating the process of adaptation of the national society to the transformations of the market environment. Social policy is at the heart of the development and governance of each country. Despite the fact that too many factors and problems affect it, it largely determines the physical and mental state of the population as well as the relationships and interrelationships between people. On the other hand, social policy allows for a more global study and solving of vital social problems of civil society. On the basis of the programs and actions of political parties and state bodies, the guidelines for the development of society are outlined. Social policy should be seen as an activity to regulate the relationship of equality or inequality between different individuals and social groups in society. Its importance is determined by the possibility of establishing on the basis of the complex approach: the economic positions of the different social groups and individuals, by determining the differences between them in terms of income, consumption, working conditions, health, etc .; to explain the causes of inequality; to look for concrete and specific measures to overcome the emerging social disparities.

Folk performances reflect the life-worlds of a vast section of subaltern communities in India. What is the philosophy that drives these performances, the vision that enables as well as enslaves these communities to present what they feel, think, imagine, and want to see? Can such performances challenge social hierarchies and ensure justice in a caste-ridden society? In Cultural Labour, the author studies bhuiyan puja (land worship), bidesia (theatre of migrant labourers), Reshma-Chuharmal (Dalit ballads), dugola (singing duels) from Bihar, and the songs and performances of Gaddar, who was associated with Jana Natya Mandali, Telangana: he examines various ways in which meanings and behaviour are engendered in communities through rituals, theatre, and enactments. Focusing on various motifs of landscape, materiality, and performance, the author looks at the relationship between culture and labour in its immediate contexts. Based on an extensive ethnography and the author’s own life experience as a member of such a community, the book offers a new conceptual framework to understand the politics and aesthetics of folk performance in the light of contemporary theories of theatre and performance studies.

Early Manifestation

This article discusses one early manifestation of a recurring theme in social theory and sociology: the relationship between general (‘universal’ or ‘grand’) theory and empirical research. For the early critical theorists, empiricism and positivism were associated with technocratic domination. However, there was one place where the opposite view prevailed: science and empiricism were viewed as forces of social and political progress and speculative social theory as a force of reaction. That place was Red Vienna of the 1920s and early 1930s. We examine how this view came to be widespread among Austro-Marxists, empirical researchers and some members of the Vienna Circle. It focuses on the arguments and institutional power of their opponents: reactionary, universalistic and corporatist social theorists. The debate between Catholic corporatist theory and its empiricist critics is located not merely in Vienna but also within wider debates in the German-speaking world. Finally, we seek to link these lesser-known positions to more familiar strands of social thought, namely, those associated with Weber and, more briefly, Durkheim and Elias.
