Abstract: In capitalist societies, the concept of work performance and the related questions of who performs and how which kind of performance is socially recognized, are constantly being renegotiated, but always centered on the context of paid employment. In our article, however, we focus on work performance narratives in forms of work beyond paid employment. Drawing on group discussions and biographical interviews from two different qualitative research projects, we analyse how volunteers and (formerly) employed care workers represent, act out and conceptualize their work-performance. Our aim is to direct the view of sociology of work towards forms and representations of performance beyond gainful employment and to pose again the question of social recognition of different kinds of work performance.
