“…The second, more recent version of the debate on the subjectivation of work (see, for example, Kleemann, 2012;Moldaschl and Voß, 2002;Nickel et al, 2008) refers to the period of post-Fordist capitalism. In this context, the concept of subjectivation of work indicates the tendency to embed an entrepreneurial logic in the whole selfhood and life of the employee, which, in turn, become fields of exploitation.…”

The field of work and employment is among the most rapidly changing fields in current societies. The sociology of work attempts to map these changes, developing concepts that seek to grasp the transformations of labor. Currently, the discussion revolves around two main topics: (a) the ‘normality of non-normality’ expands on the flexible, insecure, and precarious forms of employment, while (b) the ‘subjectivation of work’ has been introduced in order to reflect the newly observed trend in which entrepreneurial strategies and rationales colonize the whole spectrum of an employee’s personal life and the self. It is a paradox, however, that while all these transformations in the labor world are taking place, interest in biographical research on the field has declined. This article aims to show the ways in which biographical narrative research has studied the changes that have taken place in the world of labor and to highlight new research possibilities. We especially wish to highlight ways in which reconstructive biographical research can contribute to the corpus of knowledge generated on this topic. We argue that, through biographical case reconstruction, paths by which transformations of the labor world become biographically significant for individuals and their social life worlds can be grasped in a dialectical manner. Employing systematic reconstruction of the ways in which social actors construct their work experiences biographically can serve a twofold purpose. First, it reveals how social rules, dominant discourses, and social conditions form new workers’ subjectivities, and second, it identifies biographical sources of resistance on the part of the actors.

“…Mit Blick auf den neoliberalen Zeitgeist müssen daher die Maßnahmen, die mit dem Schlagwort "Work Life Balance" angepriesen werden, kritisch hinterfragt werden (Fleetwood, 2007). Die heutige postfordistische Arbeitswelt ist zusehends durch eine "Subjektivierung der Arbeit" (Nickel, Hüning & Frey 2008) gekennzeichnet, die für die Arbeitnehmer*innen zu unsicheren Beschäftigungsverhältnissen führt (Nickel, Hüning & Frey 2008, S. 135). Deswegen ist die Frage "why work-life balance now?"…”

Claudia Gather, feminist, researcher, networker, mentor, professor and tireless political influencer, has left a lasting impression in recent decades through her work, thinking and actions, not only on the field of gender studies in terms of research, teaching and practice but also on those people she has supported carefully and without question over the years. This is reason enough to dedicate an anniversary publication which honours her academic life work to her. This anniversary publication assembles articles on the topics of work, entrepreneurship, power and sustainability contributed by her long-time friends and colleagues. All of them critically discuss pathways for more gender equality and pluralism in academia and society in each respective context.
