It will give a brief overview on how the conception and performance of work (in the sense of manual labor performed by the working class) changed in the nineteenth century. It will analyse the shift from irregular labour rhythms to regimental ‘factory discipline’ through Marxist economic theory of labour value.

Taking the volatile nature of capitalist mode of production as the background, it will seek to prove how this work culture marked by alienation and regimentation was “invented” rather than fortuitous. In other words, its
