The complexity of “social facts”: teleworking under analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to open the analysis of a way of working that already existed, but whose present diffusion is due to the Covid19 pandemic and the need to avoid the risk of transmission in different working contexts. The tendency to institutionalize home teleworking requires asking about the advantages and damages that such a way of working poses for the workers in terms of the appropriation of their acts of work, the satisfaction and suffering that it implies and the quality of their family life. The perspective on which the analysis has been focused is that of different currents of the institutional clinical psychosociology, particularly the Sociopsychoanalysis, which are based on the epistemology of the complexity the article refers to.
