Resumen de Reportage 4.0: Heike Geisslers Saisonarbeit als Lebenszeichen aus der Versandfabrik
The article illuminates Heike Geißler’s book Saisonarbeit’s relation to the tradition of the reportage genre since the 19th century, and shows why this genre is of current relevance, especially in view of the latest restructuring of work. Although talk of the widespread digitalization of labor implies a fundamental transformation of its conditions, the mail-order business represented in Saisonarbeit tends to evoke reminiscences of past phases of capitalist production. It is precisely here that the reportage has a special function as a report of vivid experiences.
