Despotism on Demand draws attention to the impact of flexible scheduling on managerial power and workplace control. When we understand paid work as a power relationship, argues Alex J. Wood, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace.
Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffers a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary flexible firm is achieved through the insidious combination of flexible discipline and schedule gifts. Flexible discipline provides managers with an arbitrary means by which to punish workers, but flexible scheduling also requires workers to actively win favor with managers in order to receive schedule gifts: more or better hours. Wood concludes that the centrality of precarious scheduling to control means that for those at the bottom of the postindustrial labor market the future of work will increasingly be one of flexible despotism.

Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffers a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary "flexible firm" is achieved through the insidious combination of "flexible discipline" and "schedule gifts." Flexible discipline provides managers with an arbitrary means by which to punish workers, but flexible scheduling also requires workers to actively win favor with managers in order to receive "schedule gifts": more or better hours. Wood concludes that the centrality of precarious scheduling to control means that for those at the bottom of the postindustrial labor market the future of work will increasingly be one of flexible despotism.

Описание: One day they`ll be like us. That was once the West`s complacent assumption about countries emerging from poverty, imperial rule, or communism. But many have hardened into something very different from liberal democracy: what eminent political thinker John Keane describes as a new form of despotism. And one day, he warns, we may be more like them.

Описание: Excerpt from The Pneumatic Forceps: Operates in Child-Birth Delivery by Vaginal Dilation, Suction and Grasp; Warranted to Hold More Than Fifty Lbs. To the Vertex With Every Instrument The change in the neck, the combination in the cup of soft and moderately hardened India rubber, and the circle of notches and depressions, are Still man's improvements in the cup. The cavity of the cup measures in breadth, at the edges, 3 1-10 inches, by 1 inches deep. When introduced, the dilators should be drawn backwardly and collapsed, the cup flexed so as to bring the edges on a line with the pump; the two edges flattened together by grasp of the thumb and fore finger. The cup being well lubricated upon its exterior surface, with its edges turned upwardly, is easily introduced so that the outer extremity passes readily on the posterior wall of the vagina to the vertex. The thumb and forefinger is then drawn to wards the inner extremity of the cup, allowing the outer to flatten upon the posterior wall of the vagina, until the inner extremity passes behind the pubic arch, and the cup becomes engaged with the vertex. This is very easily accomplished. A stroke or two of the pump will be necessary to hold it in position, until the dilators are introduced.
