  "Social reproduction, when valued by the market, is gendered, often racialized, and poorly remunerated.

Gender functions at both levels, with deep-seated expectations about the appropriate division of labour within and without the workforce taking normative effect.

  (p.99) Deranty and Smith provide another avenue of critique. They emphasize that what happens at work, what one does at work, not just what one is paid, are relevant for a critical conception of work. In other words, both the identity of the worker and the activity of working are at issue (Deranty and Smith, 2012: 55). This locution distances them from Honneth’s current concern with how work is implicated in the social recognition of achievement. In a number of papers Deranty argues that it is important to separately recognize the epistemic achievement of work: the capacity to accomplish a task,...
