Ongoing reconfigurations of work under contemporary global capitalism increasingly defy the centrality of the workplace for workers’ organizing. Some sectors, though, have always been challenged by the lack of a stable workplace and by the temporary nature of work relations. That is the case of the arts and construction industry which provide longstanding examples of precarious and mobile work and have been related to precarious organizing. Despite representing two distinct sectors of the workforce, they present a set of similarities that challenge the possibilities of workers’ organisation and mobilisation: the temporary, project-based nature of work; the precarious employment arrangements, often informal; the mobile nature of work activities, not linked to a fixed workplace. Based on the Portuguese context, this paper provides a comparative analysis of both sectors, arguing on their analytical significance to explore new forms of workers’ solidarity and broader terrains of struggle.

Confortos e desconfortos, celebrações e utopias, temporalidades longas e metabolismos... procuram-se ingredientes para pensar a justiça social, para que falar de justiça social seja mais do que enunciar ou denunciar a desigualdade, a discriminação, a pobreza ou a exclusão social. Ingredientes para revisitar, reutilizar, reciclar valores fundacionais da cultura ocidental, para lá dos conteúdos dos referidos fenómenos. Fenómenos que atingem proporções avassaladoras no mundo globalizado em que vivemos e que agudizam a necessidade de exercer (mais do que proclamar) a justiça social. Ingredientes que permitam um olhar propositivo de superação das perplexidades, das linhas vermelhas, dos cenários de catástrofe. Que permitam procurar conjuntamente caminhos de regeneração, de cuidado com os outros humanos e não humanos e com o planeta. Caminhos de educação para o desenvolvimento e a cidadania global (EDCG).

L’objectif de ce guide est pluriel : - Présenter qui sont ces entreprises sociales et leurs actions innovantes dans des contextes socio-politiques pour le moins variés ; - Expliquer comment elles conjuguent, en milieu de travail, la formation aux compétences clés des adultes défa- vorisés et leur insertion socioprofessionnelle ; - Mettre à disposition de toute autre entreprise souhaitant former à ces compétences, quelques pistes pour développer de nouvelles pratiques.
