Susana Narotzky

Susana Narotzky is Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Barcelona, Spain. She received the Spanish National Award for Research in the Humanities in 2020. From 2013-2019 she was PI of a European Research Council Advanced Grant “Grassroots Economics: Meaning, Project and Practice in the Pursuit of Livelihood” [GRECO] to study the effects of austerity on Southern European livelihoods. Her work is inspired by theories of critical political economy, moral economies, feminist economics, and value regimes. Her work seeks to produce a grounded model of social reproduction processes. Socioecological inequality is its fundamental concern. Narotzky investigates valuation processes and valorization practices that affect social, economic, and environmental sustainability, with a focus on food systems and energy transitions as they interlock with struggles around socioecological valuation and economic valorization circuits. Her most recent book is Narotzky, S. (ed.) (2020) Grassroots Economies: Living with Austerity in Southern Europe, London: Pluto Press.

Based on empirical research conducted on the heavy industries, Industry and Work in Contemporary Capitalism addresses how models that inform the organization of work and production and are created by powerful actors may diverge from, overlap with, or contradict the models articulated by less powerful actors on the ground, and how they are connected across material and cultural spaces. Careful observation of industrial work and production as they unfold in and across specific localities and affects people’s livelihoods is complemented by analysis of how models circulate, through which channels of power, which institutional entities, which political connections. This volume explores an extensive theoretical terrain and a number of empirical cases that show, from different perspectives, how ideas about the economy, about work and industry, materialize in specific practices and interventions that affect people’s livelihoods.
