CfP "Work in Transition – Transition in Work: Dynamics of Small and Medium Enterprises (PYMES/MIPYMES) in Cuba in a Comparative Perspective."
This conference will focus on Cuba as a laboratory of social change and the social, cultural and gender-specific processes associated with the current crisis. The small and medium-sized enterprises (micro y pequeñas y medianas empresas) created in the course of state reforms play a decisive role in Cuba's social and economic transformation. They touch on essential aspects of the way of life, the relationship with the Cuban state and the revolution, and also on fundamental questions of alternative social concepts, including climate change, combating hunger, access to education and health systems and gender equality. From a comparative perspective, the sociality of the labour process and the experience of work, including forms of ownership, are of particular importance.
