DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to a seminar with visiting acade
 mic Maurizio Atzeni to be held on Thursday 29th January from 11am to 12.
 30pm in room 3.008 AMBS. Tea and coffee will be available in the room to
  start.\n \nThe roots of workers’ collective action and class contestati
 on\n \nAbstract:\nThe lecture will theoretically systematise and draw on
  two decades of experience and empirical research on the nature and dyna
 mics of labour conflict and on the forms of workers collective organisat
 ion. These aspects have been studied in Argentina in different work cont
 exts and time periods\, covering a wide range of cases (the automotive i
 ndustry\, the delivery industry in pre- and post-digitalisation contexts
 \, the e-commerce warehouses\, self-managed factories and cooperatives\,
  and the informal labour market)\, thus allowing for a mapping of confli
 ct and forms of work organisation. Workers’ collective resistance is gen
 erated by processes of value extraction within the labour process but sh
 aped by external political and economic factors. Against a tendency with
 in industrial relations to frame workers’ collective action and organiza
 tion in trade unions terms\, in the lecture we will explore how a return
  to class can help identify strategies\, alliances and practices\, that 
 can help to go beyond the currently fragmented reality of the world of w
 ork\, renewing working class political identities and\, possibly\, inspi
 ring a narrative of victory. Given the context of war\, genocide and dis
 crimination of any sort of non-compliant groups\, pushed forward by righ
 t wing authoritarian governments\, a class strategy is becoming a pressi
 ng need.\n \nBio:\nMaurizio Atzeni is a researcher at CEIL/CONICET\, Arg
 entina and Professor at the Faculty of Business and Economics\, Universi
 dad Alberto Hurtado\, Chile. His long-term research interest is on worke
