Renderings: Fragments of Freedom

Christina Garsten

Chapter 7 in Workplace Vagabonds, 2008, pp 144-151 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Being flexible—can we conceive of this stance as a blueprint for a desired life and form of work? Flexibility comes with a bundle of positive imaginings attached to it: freedom, empowerment, dynamism. It also comes with a set of requests for less attractive notions: preparedness, adaptation and regulation. Somewhere in-between, flexible employees have to find their feet and construct their own worklives.
