Publikation Introduction. Writing banal inequalities(Cambridge University Press, 2023) Del Percio, Alfonso; Cowan, Hannah; Cowan, Hannah; Del Percio, Alfonso04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Writing banal inequalities. How to fabricate stories that disrupt(Cambridge University Press, 2023) Cowan, Hannah; Del Percio, Alfonso; Cowan, Hannah; Del Percio, AlfonsoIn this Element, the authors write about the everyday production and experiences of banal inequality. Through a series of sections, each comprising of a blogpost written for Disruptive Inequalities, and a commentary from the author on the predicaments they encountered in the writing process, this Element shares, and confronts, the ways we fabricate stories and use writing to resist. It makes visible the choices, practices, and reflections that have led to the writing of our stories and offers the tools we have used to fabricate them, to all those who may find them meaningful to appropriate, adapt, and translate to fight the struggles that they want to fight. These tools are formulated in a way for writers to develop their own methods of storytelling and activism. The authors hope this Element contributes to an ongoing debate on how writing serves banal resistance.03 - SammelbandPublikation On poverty porn(Cambridge University Press, 2023) Del Percio, Alfonso; Cowan, Hannah; Del Percio, Alfonso04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Audit as genre, migration industries, and neoliberalism’s uptakes(Routledge, 2022) Del Percio, Alfonso; Chun, Christian W.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Introduction. language, work and affective capitalism(De Gruyter, 2022) Dlaske, Kati; Del Percio, AlfonsoThis special issue contributes to scholarship on language and affective economy by exploring the role played by affect in shaping work and workers under current configurations of capitalism. We take as a starting point the observation of increased valorisation and instrumentalisation of affect in the contemporary phase of capitalism. In this editorial introduction to the special issue, we set the scene by first outlining our questions, aims and objectives. Subsequently, we situate the contribution made by this issue in a larger social theorisation of affect and capitalism, particularly the notion of affective capitalism, and reflect on how this theorisation can contribute to sociolinguistic scholarship on work. The introduction concludes with an outline of the articles in this special issue, highlighting the way, empirically and conceptually, each article contributes to our understanding of the intersections between language, work and affective capitalism.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Genealogies of reflexivity. Register formations and the making of affective workers(De Gruyter, 2022) Del Percio, AlfonsoHow has the ability to express reflexivity, including regulating affect, come to be part of the bundled self that workers are required to be? This paper offers a rigorous genealogical analysis of the multiple histories of knowledge and power that have informed the emergence and shaping of ‘reflexive registers,’ or socially typified ways of speaking and reflecting about oneself that stand for morally marked models of selfhood. It takes as a starting-point programs documented in my ethnography of employability programs in London, UK where workers of all sorts are asked to learn to examine their personalities and to express their feelings. It then draws on original historiographical and ethnographic data that allows documentation of the logics and circumstances informing the emergence and development of reflexivity as a resource for employability. It argues for an interdisciplinary understanding of reflexivity and its communicability that theorises the workers as products of history, capital, and affect.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation When linguistic capital isn’t enough. Personality development and English speakerhood as capital in India(Routledge, 2021) Highet, Katy; Del Percio, Alfonso; Petrovic, John E.; Yazan, BedrettinDiscourses of development, as well as popular understandings, hold that access to education in English is essential for alleviating inequality. As such, since the neoliberal reforms of the 1990s, India has witnessed a boom in not only private English coaching, but also NGO educational institutions. However, drawing on ethnographic data from an English and soft-skills training NGO in Delhi, this chapter argues that the conceptualization of linguistic capital does not fully capture how students invest in English in the hope of achieving future success. Besides the speculative capital (Tabiola & Lorente, 2017) that the language represents, and the shaping of neoliberal subjectivities through soft-skill training (Urciuoli, 2008; Allan, 2013) and “personality development”, students equally invest in the cultural capital of English speakerhood, that is, the “doing” and “being” of an English speaker, a notion deeply intertwined with class and caste, and which extends to encompass students’ bodies and “personalities”.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Hard work, growth mindset, fluent English. Navigating neoliberal logics(Routledge, 2021) Highet, Katy; Del Percio, Alfonso; Sardoč, Mitja04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Migration(Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l'homme, 2021) Del Percio, Alfonso01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Speeding up, slowing down. Language, temporality and the constitution of migrant workers as labour force(Routledge, 2021) Del Percio, AlfonsoThis article offers an original ethnographic documentation of employability schemes targeting migrants in contemporary Italy. It argues that analysts’ current theorisations of time and space compression do not help us understand the multiple temporalities that migrants are subjected to when crossing borders, including those of labour market regimes. This ethnographic account is informed by a scholarship of migration that has extensively documented how the acceleration of movement and access to language, citizenship or work co-exist with experiences of waiting, elongation, withdrawal and delay – processes that complicate our understanding of the temporal regimes migrants are subjected to. Through a thick documentation of the experiences of unemployed migrants, job counsellors and other social actors in employability programmes in Rome, this article argues that both speeding up and slowing down are technologies of temporal management, including time–space compression, elongation and partitioning. These technologies regulate the time and speed of migrants’ incorporation into the labour market and allow the performance of processes of differential inclusion.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
