L\u2019ouvrage de Marie-Anne Dujarier, publi\u00e9 chez Anamosa (109 pages, parution pr\u00e9vue en avril 2026), analyse l\u2019\u00e9volution et la pluralit\u00e9 des sens du mot \u00ab travail \u00bb dans les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s capitalistes contemporaines. L\u2019auteure distingue trois grandes acceptions qui se sont constitu\u00e9es sur pr\u00e8s de dix si\u00e8cles : le travail comme activit\u00e9, comme production et comme emploi. Elle souligne que l\u2019usage d\u2019un seul terme pour recouvrir ces dimensions h\u00e9t\u00e9rog\u00e8nes est une sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9 des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s capitalistes et constitue un enjeu pour la compr\u00e9hension et la r\u00e9gulation du travail.<\/p>\n
Le travail entendu comme activit\u00e9 renvoie \u00e0 la peine que l\u2019on se donne pour accomplir une t\u00e2che, ce que les sciences cliniques du travail d\u00e9signent comme le \u00ab travail r\u00e9el \u00bb. Cette dimension met en avant l\u2019exp\u00e9rience concr\u00e8te des personnes au travail, avec des enjeux de sant\u00e9 et de sens.<\/p>\n
Le travail entendu comme production d\u00e9signe le r\u00e9sultat concret de l\u2019activit\u00e9, caract\u00e9ris\u00e9 par des qualit\u00e9s, une valeur d\u2019usage et \u00e9ventuellement une valeur marchande. L\u2019auteure insiste sur le d\u00e9calage possible entre la qualit\u00e9 d\u2019un travail (\u00ab beau travail \u00bb) et sa valeur commerciale. Elle met en avant la question de l\u2019utilit\u00e9 sociale de ce qui est produit, et surtout de \u00ab pour qui \u00bb cette production est utile. Cet enjeu prend une dimension existentielle dans un contexte d\u2019abondance qualifi\u00e9e d\u2019\u00e9cocide et d\u2019in\u00e9galit\u00e9s mat\u00e9rielles extr\u00eames, ce qui renvoie \u00e0 des probl\u00e9matiques de justice sociale et \u00e9cologique.<\/p>\n
Enfin, le travail est analys\u00e9 comme rapport social d\u2019emploi, et plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment, depuis environ un si\u00e8cle dans les pays du Nord, comme salariat. Le salariat est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 comme l\u2019institution centrale des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s capitalistes, ayant organis\u00e9 la sp\u00e9cialisation des fonctions et t\u00e2ches productives. Dujarier souligne que les institutions dites \u00ab du travail \u00bb (Code du travail, minist\u00e8re du Travail, politiques publiques associ\u00e9es) encadrent en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 principalement l\u2019activit\u00e9 productive salari\u00e9e, et non l\u2019ensemble des formes de travail. Ces institutions structurent les trajectoires de vie \u00ab du berceau \u00e0 la tombe \u00bb et jouent un r\u00f4le central dans la r\u00e9partition des richesses.<\/p>\n
L\u2019ouvrage met ainsi en lumi\u00e8re des enjeux existentiels multiples li\u00e9s au travail : sens de l\u2019activit\u00e9, sant\u00e9, survie mat\u00e9rielle et \u00e9cologique, justice sociale et r\u00e9partition des places dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Il insiste sur les tensions, voire les conflits, entre les diff\u00e9rentes significations et valeurs associ\u00e9es au travail. Ces analyses pr\u00e9sentent un int\u00e9r\u00eat pour l\u2019action publique en mati\u00e8re de travail, emploi, sant\u00e9 au travail, lutte contre les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s et transition \u00e9cologique, en invitant \u00e0 clarifier ce que recouvrent les politiques \u00ab du travail \u00bb et ce qu\u2019elles laissent hors champ, notamment en dehors du salariat. Aucun autre pays ou institution \u00e9trang\u00e8re n\u2019est mentionn\u00e9, mais la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence aux \u00ab pays du Nord \u00bb situe les constats dans un cadre capitaliste d\u00e9velopp\u00e9, potentiellement comparable \u00e0 la France.\u00a0(contenu r\u00e9sum\u00e9 en fran\u00e7ais par l’IA)Lire la Suite<\/a>\u200b<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
