Similarly, studies based on the welfare state models and the expansion of the social state functions use generally a static classification methodology. They also ignore the dynamics of capitalist transformations and the role of gender relations. The article tries to show how important has been the role played by the welfare-state expansion and the gender relations during the transformations from the fordist industrial capitalism to the cognitive capitalism. But the transition to the cognitive capitalism is a complex and contradictory process which can give rise to conflicting evolutions. Two extreme models are therefore proposed as potential issues. They are built regarding the main characteristics of the outlines of the cognitive capitalism institutional forms.

De manera analoga, la literatura sobre los modelos del Estado providencia y el desarrollo de funciones del Estado social utiliza generalmente una metodologia taxonomica esencialmente estatica e ignora la dinamica de las transformaciones del capitalismo y del papel de los regimenes de genero. El articulo apunta a mostrar el papel desempenado por el desarrollo del Estado providencia y los regimenes de genero en las transformaciones que llevaron del capitalismo industrial fordista al capitalismo cognitivo. Pero la transicion hacia el capitalismo cognitivo es un proceso complejo y contradictorio que puede dar lugar a evoluciones en direcciones opuestas. En este sentido, dos modelos polares son propuestos como el resultado potencial de trayectorias identificables en funcion de los principales parametros caracteristicos de las formas institucionales del capitalismo cognitivo.

La crise du capitalisme industriel-fordiste et la transition vers une nouvelle configuration du c... more La crise du capitalisme industriel-fordiste et la transition vers une nouvelle configuration du capitalisme, qualifie de capitalisme cognitif, sont a l'origine d'une transformation profonde du travail et des relations d'emploi qui ebranle les piliers de l'ancien modele de protection sociale . Dans le contexte de cette mutation, l'objet de cet article est de s'interroger sur les fondements theoriques et la faisabilite d'un revenu social garanti (RSG) inconditionnel et independant de l'emploi. Notre propos est de monter que ce dernier trouverait sa legitimite a la fois comme un investissement collectif de la societe dans le savoir et un revenu primaire pour les individus resultant d'une contribution directe a la creation de richesses et de valeur. Dans cette demarche, cet article s'articulera en deux parties.La premiere sera consacree a la caracterisation de notre conception du RSG tant dans son opposition aux propositions neo-liberales d'un impot negatif ou d'un revenu minimum d'activite que par rapport aux limites theoriques qui affectent les approches libertariennes d'une allocation universelle. Dans ce cadre, nous verrons egalement pourquoi les mutations actuelles du travail, liees a la montee de sa dimension cognitive, donnent un fondement socio-economique nouveau a la proposition de RSG et permettent de le penser comme un revenu primaire. La deuxieme partie se proposera alors d'articuler la question de la legitimite socio-economique a la reflexion sur la soutenabilite financiere de la proposition de RSG. Le cadre retenu pour cette estimation est celui relatif au cas francais, mais il ne s'agit la que d'une premiere ebauche que nous entendons par la suite etendre a l'echelle de l'Union Europeenne.

Similarly, research into the various forms and functions of the welfare state has suffered from an essentially static and taxonomic approach, which ignores the changing dynamics of capitalism as well as the importance of gender. This article shows how the development of the welfare state and the system of gender relations affected the transition from Fordist industrial capitalism to "cognitive" capitalism. The transition to cognitive capitalism has been, however, a complex and contradictory process that could lead in opposing directions in the future.

Vercellone'nin hazirladigi bu kitap, cesitli acilardan aslen bu soruya yanit uretmeye girisiyor. Fordizmden post-Fordizme, endustriyel sermayeden finansal sermayeye, maddi emekten gayri maddi emege, hiyerarsik ve kati emek sureclerinden esnek emek sureclerine, guvenceli istihdamdan guvencesiz istihdama uzanan bir dizi kavramla iliskilendirilen bilissel kapitalizm, yeni sermaye birikim surecinin dinamiklerini arastiriyor. Ve her seyden onemlisi kapitalist deger yaratma iliskilerindeki donusumleri; degerin olculebilirligi ve yaratilan degerin ozel mulklestirilmesi temelinde tartismaya aciyor. Vercellone'ye gore sermaye eskiden oldugu gibi islemiyor, bir toplumsal iliski olarak kendisini genisletecek ve hâkimiyetini pekistirecek yeni olanaklarin pesinden kosuyor. Elbette emek de ozellikle bilissel yetilerinin gelismesi temelinde kendi kudretini artiracak yeni orgutlenmelerin, direnis bicimlerinin ve kurucu pratiklerin arayisina girmis durumda. Kavramsal ve pratik tum arayislar ve cikis yollari, 21. yuzyilin egemenlik paradigmasinin kurucu politik egilimleri olarak boy gosteriyor.

This article aims at identifying the main features of this great transformation, which revolves around the shift from the Fordist working relations to one based on immaterial and cognitive labor.

The essay adopts an approach that directly combines theory and history. The first section is devoted to presenting the methods and concepts on which a post-workerist analysis of capitalism’s dynamic is based. We will also address some crucial theoretical and political implications concerning the historical significance of the law of value and its crisis. The second and third sections will be devoted to putting the crisis of Fordism and the transition to cognitive capitalism in historical perspective. We will look closely at cognitive capitalism’s origin, its significance and what is at stake within it. Finally, we will show how the ever more central role of rent income deplaces the terms of the traditional antagonism based on the opposition between wages and company profit.
