Simultaneous - New Paradigms of Productivity
Will the form of space replace the form of wage labour?

Klaus Neundlinger

Simultaneity, though it is not achievable, is one of the major sources for the legitimation of translation. It is not possible to erase delay, deviation, i.e. the several movements of recovering in the process of translation. The process of production is based on a similar condition: Whilst the form of wage labour has led to concentration and homogeneity of the labour force inside the paradigm of industrial production, the new, heterogeneous forms of labour are characterized by the internalization of the form of space. Labour force has to communicate, crossing different places, contexts and situations, creating a complex chain of value creation. Efficiency, therefore, is not to be found in the rational organisation of production, but in the internalized forms of translation, in the inevitable production of the space of unachievable simultaneity.
