Technologie cyfrowe w dyskursach o przyszłości pracy
Digital Technologies and the Discourses on the Future of Work

Summary/Abstract: Our knowledge on work is based on the output of sociology of the industrial work. Nowadays we acquire the empirical material on the work in society called postindustrial, information, network, knowledge based one etc.. In this paper methodologically based on the critical analysis of discourses I attempt at bringing closer these discourses related to the impact of new technologies on our understanding of work. I focus on six discourses: (1) End of work, technological unemployment, work of machines, (2) „Washing out” of the center – rising demand of high and low skills, (3) Machines need man – man needs machines; work in techno-human collectives, (4) Dispersed work, prosumption, (5) Work of Multitude, (6) Abundance of work. Metaphor of “the house under construction”.
