Labour Trauma in France
This book examines the suicide crisis in the French workplace and asks why work or conditions of work increasingly push some employees to take their own lives. To address this question, the book analyses a corpus of testimonial material linked to 66 suicide cases across three large French companies during the period from 2005 to 2015. The book investigates what these suicide voices tell us about the present economic order and its impact on human labour within the contemporary juncture of finance-driven neoliberalism.
Republican Citizens, Precarious Subjects
Over recent decades concerns at the increased scarcity and precarity of salaried employment have dominated political struggles, theoretical debates and cultural representations in France. This study argues that such concerns are evidence of a profound shift in contemporary French economy, culture and society. Engaging with work in political economy and sociology, the book sketches a new interpretative framework, the better to understand the nature and implications of these profound changes. It examines the challenges such changes have posed to fundamental French republican values, arguing they have opened up a rift between older notions of French republican citizenship and the precarious forms of subjectivity characteristic of post-Fordist labour. The book traces the symptoms of this rift in a range of cinematic and literary representations of the contemporary workplace, as these depict the dilemmas faced, the trajectories followed, and the geographical regions inhabited by French workers of different ages, sexes, social classes, and ethnicities.

Ausgrenzungspraktiken, Inklusionsverfahren und Polarisierung sind Gegenstände gesellschaftlicher Diskussionen und medialer Auseinandersetzungen, aber auch Unterrichtsstoff in Schulen. Die Dynamiken von Öffnung und Abschottung, Zentrum und Peripherie sowie regionaler, nationaler und internationaler In- und Exklusion machen sich in geographischen, sprachlichen, kulturellen und politischen Dämmen bemerkbar. Die Beiträger*innen fokussieren auf diese weltweiten Pendelbewegungen und zeigen die Vielfalt und Notwendigkeit einer interkulturellen Germanistik auf. Dazu stellen sie unterschiedliche Ansätze der Interkulturalität vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart ins Zentrum, die kultur- und literaturwissenschaftlich zum Tragen kommen.
