Territorio laboral capitalista : Despliegue de poder sindical en minería y supermercados

Abstract

This book uses territory as a gateway to understanding the form of class struggle in contemporary capitalism. Drawing on a critical account of authors in the Marxist tradition, such as Richards Edwards, Domingo Pérez Valenzuela analyzes the role that territory plays in class struggle, considering that every power relationship generates territoriality and that modern private enterprise, as a capitalist labor territory, is a fraction of geographic space where socio-material power relations between capital and labor emerge. Reviving Thompson and Briken's proposal not to separate political economy from labor relations, D. Pérez interweaves, throughout his reflection, the control of the labor process with territorial control, with the perspective of consolidating a geographic political economy of the labor process; a pending task, given that territorial control over the production process has been little studied.
