Abstract
Las sociedades europeas están experimentando importantes cambios en los pilares axiológicos y políticos de su modelo social. Las políticas sociales y de empleo contemporáneas tienen como principal característica un desplazamiento radical hacia la psicologización y moralización del trabajo. Un análisis de las nociones centrales del discurso de las instituciones europeas sobre el trabajo (empleabilidad, activación, flexiguridad) permite desvelar las doxas o presupuestos que lo fundamentan. La paradoja es una estructura retórica fundamental de este discurso. Esta paradoja es reveladora del carácter perverso del discurso neoliberal que, por un lado, apela a la responsabilidad personal, pero, por otro, desprovee al sujeto de las condiciones sociales y políticas necesarias para el ejercicio de la autonomía.
European societies are undergoing important changes in the axiological and political pillars of its social model. One of the main current features of social and employment policies is a radical shift towards the psychologization and moralization of work. An analysis of the key concepts of the EU discourse on employment (employability, activation, flexicurity) allows unveiling the underlying doxas and assumptions. The paradox is a principally rhetorical structure of this discourse. This paradox reveals the perverse nature of the neoliberal discourse which, on the one hand, appeals to personal responsibility, but on the other hand, it deprives to subject of the social and political conditions necessary to be autonomous.
