“…In this sense self‐valorisation “indicates a process of valorisation which is autonomous from capitalist valorisation—a self‐defining, self‐determining process which goes beyond the mere resistance to capitalist valorisation to a positive project of self‐constitution” (Cleaver :129; see also Holloway :920–921). The dynamic of self‐valorisation may thus be described as radicalisation of worker antagonism, aimed not just at opposing capital but also at the social re‐appropriation of value (del Valle Alcala :79).…”

There are growing concerns over current and future incarnations of routine work, based on the rise of technology and its perceived impact on skill requirements in the labour market. Drawing on Autonomist Marxist (AM) literature, the following article demonstrates how and why workers are likely to play a role in maintaining meaningful forms of work. Complimenting labour process research, which focuses on the role of worker "resistance" in the workplace, we develop a more nuanced perspective on worker agency and the human potential to create meaning through self-governance in even the most unlikely service work encounters. Taking resilience and reworking agencies as subtle forms of "self-valorisation", we show how different spaces of routine work are mobilised for reproducing human connections and values in ways which act in opposition to management's control and the evolution of unpleasant work environments. Riassunto: La natura, presente e futura, del lavoro routinario costituisce una crescente preoccupazione, dato l'aumentato utilizzo della tecnologia e date le competenze specifiche ora richieste dal mercato del lavoro. Il presente articolo si basa sulla letteratura sull'autonomia operaia e dimostra come e perch e i lavoratori possano influenzare la continuata esistenza di forme di lavoro importanti. Contribuendo alla ricerca sul processo del lavoro, la quale si focalizza sulla "resistenza" del lavoratore nel contesto lavorativo, sviluppiamo una prospettiva pi u approfondita sul ruolo del lavoratore e del potenziale umano nella creazione di scelte importanti e autonome sulle attivit a lavorative da intraprendere. Considerando la resilienza e la rielaborazione dei lavoratori come forma di "auto-valorizzazione", mostriamo come in diversi ambienti di lavoro routinario vengano sviluppati nuovi valori e nuove relazioni umane che agiscono in opposizione al controllo manageriale e all'evoluzione di ambienti lavorativi sgradevoli.

The essay deals with the thought of E.P. Thompson with reference to the transformation of work behavior. Moving from the presentation of his peculiar historiographical approach, the essay critically examines the article he devoted to the emergence of a discipline, at work and in everyday life, that made the establishment of the capitalist industrial model possible. The categories of task-oriented work of pre-industrial societies, and time-oriented work of industrialized societies, are discussed. The main elements through which working and non-working time has been regulated and the emergence of new forms of leisure are presented. In closing, the applicability of the two categories as ideal types for reading the forms of work in the industrial societies of the global world is proposed.
