The construction of fragmented class subjectivities: an example

Abstract

In this article we propose an analysis of social classes that emphasize in the subjective dimension of these ones. From different contexts that take part in the production of the subjectivities of class, and take into account the active paper that the subjects maintain in the relation of domination and snobbish exploitation, we center our attention on strikes. Specifically we fixed on a study of case, across of which we realise a chase of share subjetivities production along drawnout of time (from the 60?s to the end of the 90?s), for workers of an industrial company in Catalonia (Spain). In the analysis we build a typology of collective subjectivities that it overcome and it oppose along drawnout of strikes study. We make clear the diverse transformations that they have suffer as same as its fragmentary character. We show the diverse tensions and confrontations in the process of constitution and sustenance of collective subjectivities in situations such a controversial as strikes. These show clearly the relation of power that typify patriarchal capitalist production of life.
