Female workers, the sensitive part of labor: L’Excès-L’Usine by Leslie Kaplan and Daewoo by François Bon
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: For a long time reduced to a mere energy power, to a machine for production, the working body regains its human and sensitive dimension in the literary production that accompanied the economic crisis of the last three decades. Starting from the 1980s, literary representations of the body are indeed impacted by social and economic changes and the physical and psychological damage they have caused. Incorporated into the flesh and mind, these social violences make the bodies of workers the very principle of their identity and, therefore, the place of questioning for the entire contemporary society.
