商品描述

This book guides the reader in discovering contemporary professions and the critical changes they have lived through after the post-industrial transformation of advanced capitalist societies. Two interrelated concepts are used to interpret what is happening in professional work: differentiation, namely the set of processes by which professions and professionalism have become more diverse, and heterogeneity, the outcomes of such processes.


A novel analytical framework delves into differentiation and understands heterogeneity based on three dimensions: within (how professions are structured internally), between (how professions distinguish themselves from other occupations and from each other), and beyond (how professions govern societal changes and influence differentiation processes). The book presents a collection of studies covering different countries and professions to demonstrate the analytical potential of the within-between-beyond model. The conclusions show how "neo-liberal" professionalism is putting the very idea of collegiate professions at stake while exposing emerging professions to market risks.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書引導讀者探索當代職業及其在後工業轉型的先進資本主義社會中所經歷的重大變化。書中使用兩個相互關聯的概念來解釋專業工作中發生的事情:差異化,即職業和專業化變得更加多樣化的過程;以及異質性,即這些過程的結果。

一個新穎的分析框架深入探討差異化,並基於三個維度理解異質性:內部(職業如何在內部結構上組織)、之間(職業如何與其他職業及彼此區分)、以及超越(職業如何引導社會變遷並影響差異化過程)。本書呈現了一系列涵蓋不同國家和職業的研究,以展示內部-之間-超越模型的分析潛力。結論顯示,'新自由主義'專業化正使得大學職業的概念岌岌可危,同時將新興職業暴露於市場風險之中。
