  10. These include the EuroMayDay network, dedicated to organising annual protests against precarious work in European cities (http://www.euromayday.org/ ), and the Italy-based Chainworkers website (http://www.chain- workers.org/). The anti-precarity movement also has its own patron saint, San Precario.

  13. Although recent strikes in public sector and privatised companies in the UK have raised the profiles of some unions, this does not translate into the experience of much of the low-paid working population. Traditional union membership, for instance, does not lend itself to unstable work patterns with frequent moves, irregular income and no attachment to any particular trade. The argument for making the kind of support historically provided by unions more accessible to precarious workers is made by Anna Pollert in The Unorganised Vulnerable Worker: The Case For Union Organising (Institute of Employment Rights, 2007).
  14. Mitropoulos, Precari-us?, p16.
  15. Sonia McKays Agency and Migrant Workers (Institute of Employment Rights, 2009) presents an excellent summary of the precarious legal situation of migrant agency workers in the UK, including those employed by gangmasters.

  28. Marc Aug, Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (Verso, 1995), p111. Aug takes the term non-place from Michel de Certeau.
  29. The connection between Augs non-places and so-called non-people and non-services is made, perhaps somewhat over-simplistically, by George Ritzer in The Globalization of Nothing (Sage, 2004), p39-71.

  33. On the organisational effects of outsourcing NHS support staff to private agencies, Polly Toynbees account of working as a porter in a London hospital is especially illuminating. See Toynbee, Hard Work (Bloomsbury, 2003), p55-84.
  34. Castells, The Rise of the Network Society, p296.
  35. For an analysis of this closed circuit of cyber-bureaucracy, see Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism (Zero, 2009), p62-70.
  36. This phrase was used by television manufacturer LG in a recent TV advertisement to convey a message of commodified freedom.
  37. Raymond Williams, Television: Technology and Cultural Form (Routledge, 2003 [1974]), p95. Williams prescient study analysed the intertexual flow of TV, showing how it blended various and sometimes conflicting discourses into a single seductive rhythm.
  38. This phrase is lifted from Anne Friedbergs Window Shopping: Cinema and the Postmodern (University of California, 1994), p28. In Friedbergs text it refers to the sensation of movement produced in a static viewer by the panoramas and dioramas of the 18th and 19th centuries.

  43. In a discussion of insurance industry occupations in The Rise of the Network Society (p266), Castells mentions the informational workplaces propensity for ideologically tailored new [job] titles (for example assistant manager instead of secretary) which aim to increase the commitment of clerical workers without correspondingly increasing their professional rewards. Of course VAs might argue that despite the insecurity, extra hours and lack of workplace support, their own professional rewards, in terms of money or status, have increased.
  44. Jack Lanigan, The Kingdom Did Come (undated autobiography), cited in John Burnett, Idle Hands: The Experience of Unemployment, 1790-1990 (Routledge, 1994), p170.
  45. See Marx, Capital Volume 1, p781-794.
  46. Wildes essay The Soul of Man under Socialism (1891) remains influential in questioning the automatic usefulness of work. On this and other historical examples of resistance to the ideology of work, see Owen Hatherley, Work and Non-Work: A Short History of the Refusal to Work as a Revolutionary Strategy, http://themeasurestaken.blogspot.com/2008/06/work-and- non-work.html 6 June 2008.
  47. The above quotes are from a talk given by Jobcentre advisors at a compulsory back-to-work session, 9 February 2010.
  48. Interpellation refers to the hailing of the individual in a particular way by an ideological authority, prompting a recognition of oneself as an ideological subject in those terms (for instance as the police officer hails a suspect). The term derives from Louis Althusser, in Lenin and Philosophy and other essays (Monthly Review Press, 2001 [1971]), p115- 120.
  49. Literally, in my case; claiming Jobseekers Allowance in July 2009 after eleven months of continuous employment, I discovered that because my partner was working full-time and I had been a postgraduate student from September 2006-7, I was not entitled to either income- or contribution-based JSA. To become eligible for benefit would have required moving out of the flat I shared with my partner and moving into a separate bedsit, or going back to my parental home 120 miles away (breaking up cohabiting couples is a DWP speciality). For various bureaucratic reasons, however, I was advised that it was still in my interests to continue signing on and presenting my Jobsearch Diary for inspection, even though I was receiving no benefit.
