Dear readers of Laboratorium, We would like to present you another research article from the latest issue of Laboratorium (issue 2/2014): “Disembedding the Company from Kinship: Unethical Families and Atomized Labor in an Estonian Mine” by Eeva Kesküla soclabo.org/index.php/laboratorium/article/view/362 This article looks at the dynamics of the relationship between the company and the family in an Estonian mining town. In the Soviet period, the “double movement” of the second wave of marketization ensured that the family continued to be embedded in the workplace. The mining company served as a total social institution for miners and their families, a center of their economic and emotional life. The current third wave of marketization, together with a particular corporate ethic, is creating a separation of the family and the workplace. This is expressed in the gradual withdrawal of the company from the reproductive sphere of miners’ families and the transformation of moralities related to work and kinship. The article is in English, extended summary in Russian.
