Abstract

This report presents the intermediate results of four studies conducted by members of the research unit “The Production and Reproduction of Social Inequalities: Global Contexts and Concepts of Labor Exploitation.” The studies focus on the roles of concepts and actors in producing and reproducing social inequalities in the context of colonial and postcolonial labor systems and regimes of mobility in the Global South from historical and contemporary perspectives. The findings suggest a power asymmetry in the origin of the concepts under study but emphasize the importance of linguistic contestations for the subjects of exploitation. The large influence of global structures, such as colonialism, racialization, classism, and patriarchy as well as the effects of capitalism and neoliberalism, on the concepts are discussed.
