As part of the ERC project Illicit Labour and the global photovoltaic industry, Gabriella Alberti (University of Leeds) and Devi Sacchetto (University of Padua) will present their latest book The Politics of Migrant Labour: Exit, Voice, and Social Reproduction (Bristol University Press).

The meeting will be moderated by Riccardo Martinelli (CNR-IRPPS), with contributions from: Lucia Amorosi (Scuola Normale Superiore), Andrea Ciarini (Sapienza University), and Antonio Sanguinetti (CNR-IRPPS).

This book explores the link between labor mobility and international migration from a historical and global perspective. By analyzing the individual and collective actions of migrants, both within and outside trade union organizations, Alberti and Sacchetto offer a new interpretation of the daily mobility of migrant workers, considering it as a creative and vital strategy for social reproduction and labor conflict.

Short Bio
Maurizio Atzeni divides his time between Argentina and Chile, working as a researcher at CEIL/CONICET and as a Professor of Industrial Relations at the Alberto Hurtado University. His research revolves around two main axes. The first is the study of the nature and dynamics of labour conflict and forms of collective organization of workers. It covers a wide range of cases (the automotive industry, the delivery industry in pre- and post-digitalization contexts, self-managed factories and cooperatives, the informal labour market) to map conflicts and forms of work organization. A second research axis studies the forms of work produced on the basis of contemporary developments in capitalism. This axis refers to a global and interdisciplinary dimension that has been pursued in particular in the publications of the Handbook of the Global Political Economy of Work and previously in Workers and Labour in a Globalised Capitalism. In 2022, he founded the international summer school, LabourTransfer, in Sardinia, which combines the academic world of labour studies with trade union activism and territorial development.
