Betwixt and Between: The Invisible Experiences of Volunteers’ Body Work
本文通过分析志愿者的身体工作劳动，提出超越有偿/无偿二分法的理论框架，揭示志愿者如何在更广泛的社会关系中界定劳动，对理解志愿工作的本质有重要启示。
Prevailing dualisms of work as formal, paid employment on the one hand or informal, unpaid domestic labour on the other, means volunteering is often overlooked. Although academic interest in voluntary labour is growing, it remains inadequately theorised in the sociology of work. A more sociological meaningful understanding of volunteering is needed. Through an analysis of voluntary body work labour, this article advances theorisation of volunteering as work in two ways. Firstly, the article invokes a total social organisation of labour approach to overcome the paid/unpaid work dichotomy. Secondly, it grounds this theorisation empirically by drawing on the volunteers’ insights into their delivery of body work labour to shed new light on the complex ways in which volunteers frame labour within wider social relationships.
