How can America's information technology (IT) industry predict serious labor shortages while at the same time laying off tens of thousands of employees annually? The answer is the industry's flexible labor management system - a flexibility widely regarded as the modus operandi of global capitalism today. "Global "Body Shopping"" explores how flexibility and uncertainty in the IT labor market are constructed and sustained through concrete human actions. Drawing on in-depth field research in southern India and in Australia, and folding an ethnography into a political economy examination, Xiang Biao offers a richly detailed analysis of the India-based global labor management practice known as "body shopping."In this practice, a group of consultants - body shops - in different countries works together to recruit IT workers. Body shops then farm out workers to clients as project-based labor; and upon a project's completion they either place the workers with a different client or "bench" them to await the next placement. Thus, labor is managed globally to serve volatile capital movement. Underpinning this practice are unequal socioeconomic relations on multiple levels. While wealth in the New Economy is created in an increasingly abstract manner, everyday realities - stock markets in New York, benched IT workers in Sydney, dowries in Hyderabad, and women and children in Indian villages - sustain this flexibility.

出乎意料地好读,田野真的扎实,扎实到些许地方让人昏昏欲睡,不过其中理论的分析(尤其是最后一章句句精华)还是很让人警醒的。印象比较深的是三点: 1.板凳术的发明和中介链的不断延长,让劳动力的始终处于过度供给的状态,目的是为了绝对保证人力资源供应链的稳固,这种资本...

評分 評分《全球猎身》比《浙江村》中的田野细节还要更丰富,比如关于劳力行的日常工作,“IT人”生产线,如何获得签证,印度女孩的嫁妆等,导致概念性不足。 书中没提到的数据,美国的IT从业者中印度人占了1/3,但这并不代表印度本地的计算机/互联网行业有多么发达,相反,这种抽取式的...
