          Abstract

          Resumen: Aunque inició su carrera como sociólogo del trabajo, y a fines de la década de 1990 dio un giro laboral a su obra, la influencia de Ulrich Beck sobre los estudios laborales es limitada. No obstante, diversos estudiosos del trabajo argumentan que su marco conceptual puede contribuir a renovar este campo del conocimiento. Siguiendo esta lógica, en el presente artículo se pretende esbozar una teoría sobre el malestar del trabajo en la sociedad contemporánea, estableciendo un vínculo entre la teoría laboral de Beck y los estudios laborales, y poniendo el énfasis en la literatura sobre el estrés laboral, el agotamiento profesional y las intenciones de renuncia.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract: Although he began his career as a sociologist of work and had a labor turn in the late 1990s, Ulrich Beck’s influence on labor studies is limited. However, several labor scholars argue that his conceptual framework can contribute to the renewal of this field of knowledge. Following their logic, this article establishes a link between Beck’s labor theory and labor studies, with emphasis on literature on workplace stress, burnout and turnover intentions. The aim is to outline a theory of job malaise in contemporary society.

          Beck, individualization and the death of class: a critique.

          Ulrich Beck has argued that the changing logic of distribution and, more importantly, the 'individualization' of social processes in reflexive modernity have killed off the concept of social class and rendered the analysis of its effects a flawed endeavour. The present paper takes issue with this perspective by exposing its key weaknesses, namely its ambivalence and contradiction over what exactly constitutes individualization and the extent to which it has really displaced class, its inconsistent and caricaturized description of what actually constitutes class, its erroneous and unsatisfactory depiction of class analysis, and its self-defeating reasoning on the motors of individualization. The intention is not to conservatively deny that social change is occurring nor to advocate any particular model of class, but only to illustrate the aporias of Beck's position with the aim of vindicating the enterprise of class analysis.
