Dinerstein, AC (2013) ‘From Corporatist to Autonomous: Unemployed Workers Organisations and the remaking of labour subjectivity in Argentina’ In Howell, J (2013) Non Governmental Public Action and Social Justice, Vol. 2, Palgrave Macmillan 36-59 From Corporatist to Autonomous: Unemployed Workers Organisations and the remaking of labour subjectivity in Argentina  Ana Cecilia Dinerstein Introduction This chapter is about the transformation of the subjectivity of labour during the second half of the 1990s in Argentina, and in particular, the role of unemployed workers in the politicisation of labour issues and the emergence of new forms of non- governmental public action.

These dynamics include the relationship between the labour movement and new labour subjects in search of adequate forms of resistance to new forms of subordination that emerged out of the process of transformation. During the past decade a significant amount of research has documented the worldwide transformation of labour produced by neo-liberal globalisation. The growth of the service sector, the increase in casual and flexible labour on the one hand, and unemployment, the growth of female participation in the labour market and the crisis of trade unions on the other hand, have been seen as the most important aspects of neo-liberal transformation (Munck, 2000, also Rifkin, 1995; Aronowitz and DiFazio, 1995). The effects of these transformations on trade union strategies have also been addressed. Notions such as ‘new internationalism’ (Munck, 2000; Munck and Waterman, 1999; Costa, 2006; Lambert and Webster, 2006; Hyman, 2005) and ‘social movement unionism’ (Moody, 1997), together with analysis of new patterns of labour resistance (Waddington, 1999) and organisation (Pollert, 1996; Taylor and Mathers, 2002; Mathers, 1999) have been mobilised to account for the innovation of
