Abstract

This essay outlines some reflections on the becoming-­‐‑woman of contemporary work, a movement that will be inscribed within the theoretical framework of the paradigm of cognitive capitalism. The article aims at a meta-­‐‑interpretation of the discontinuous features that characterize our contemporary mode of production and regulation, and to do so by means of Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy. It attempts to outline, within the notion of the becoming-­‐‑woman of contemporary work, an inner, quasi-­‐‑dialectical relationship: on the one hand, this becoming will be described as the fulfillment of a total subsumption; on the other hand, it will be defined as a becoming-­‐‑creative, a movement in which it is possible to see the evolution of capitalism towards a new form of sharing economy, which could also be called an economy of the commons.
