Resumen
MEDOR, Ducange. What does work mean? An approach to the vision of freelance workers about work activity. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.67, pp.203-237. ISSN 1665-0565.
In this paper it's presented and interpreted the idea of a group of independent workers about work. The aim is to understand what does work mean to them. The data come from an ongoing investigation in which to know the process by which audiovisual professionals become independent and their assessment of their experience as autonomous is sought. The investigation is carried on twenty one in depth interviews and the observation of blogs and Facebook communities where they share perceptions about the work's world. The conclusion is that, while they perceive wage labor as a limitation to freedom and well-being, these professionals conceive their creative work as the most complete and enjoyable way of expression of themselves. Thus, this article originally contributes to the realm of studies on the new realities and identities related to work.
