| description | Charlot’s image, taken from Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times, seems unavoidable to illustrate work. This article intends to understand the pervasiveness of this mechanistic representation, and suggests to overcome it in order to help rejuvenate the way work is pictured. While nowadays work require less of workers strength and more of the ability to manage risk, the dominant social representations of work, anchored in the industrial laboratory that was the 19th century, fail to put it in words, pictures and common. Kenneth Burke, as a promoter of a “cultural critique of symbols”, suggest a replacement of the mechanistic metaphor by a poetic one. This would offer a description of workers as producers of forms creating new ways to work and live. And by poiting out how they take ownership of contemporary types of work, it also puts us on a path towards new images of work. |
