| Description | This book is concerned with the gender order of post-Fordism, and especially the labour demanded from many women by post-Fordist capitalism. It maps and traces these demands as well their entanglement in complex processes of value creation. In so doing the contributors elaborate how processes of financialization, calls for work-readiness, new modes of economic calculation, processes of economization, and emergent regulatory strategies are reconfiguring labour and life in post-Fordism and summoning new forms of ‘women’s work’. Contributors also map how these same processes are repositioning feminism, especially feminism as a mode of critique. This book was originally published as a special issue of ‘Australian Feminist Studies’. Table of Contents: Introduction / Lisa Adkins and Maryanne Dever: 1.
