Abstract

'Technological Choices' applies the critical tools of archaeology to the subject of technology and its impact on humankind throughout the ages. An examination of the challenges technological innovations present to various cultures, 'Technological Choices' asserts that in any society, such choices are made on the basis of cultural values and social relations, rather than on the inherent benefits in technology itself. Of course, this revolutionary viewpoint has critical implications for contemporary Western societies. Based on case studies covering a wide range of chronologies and geographies, 'Technological Choices' moves rapidly from Neolithic Europe to the modern industrial age, stopping on the way to examine the tribes of Papua, New Guinea, rural Indian and North African societies as well as several European peasant communities. The techniques studied range from the manufacture of stone implements to the development of high-techtransportation devices. With its breadth of subject matter and multidisciplinary approach, 'Technological Choices' offers new insight into the interrelationship between technology and society. Also unprecedented is the book's emphasis on the functional aspects of material culture.

Abstract

Voilà trente ans que l’on nous fait la promesse d’une société où l’on ne travaillerait plus. Une société ludique, des loisirs sans fins, des subventions faciles. L’esprit de rente est l’opium du peuple. Un puissant narcotique pour gouverner une société indolente où des magiciens divertissent les travailleurs et les font disparaître. Le travail est devenu invisible. Pendant ce temps, les nouveaux capitaines du monde ont imposé leur pouvoir grâce à un savoir mystérieux et terriblement efficace, « la finance ». Ils ont fait croire que l’on pouvait créer de la valeur à partir de rien. Et le piège spéculatif s’est refermé sur nous. Mais la solution se profile déjà . La crise du travail montre que les travailleurs aspirent à être reconnus, à trouver du sens à ce qu’ils font au quotidien, à en voir le résultat concret. Dans la vraie vie, le travail peut être pénible et fatiguant, mais il est aussi stimulant et enrichissant. Dans la vraie vie, le travail est vivant. Véritable thriller économique, « Le travail invisible » déroule la logique fascinante qui nous a conduits à cette situation absurde. Il plaide pour une économie du travail vivant, seul vrai projet politique pour notre avenir. Un livre indispensable pour comprendre ce qui ronge nos sociétés mais aussi ce qui, déjà, les renouvelle.
