What does 'being flexible' mean in practice? What can the move towards flexible work contracts tell us about organizational change in general and about changing forms of workplace governance and control in particular? This book engages with transforming notions of career and community at a transnational temporary agency.

CHRISTINA GARSTEN is Professor and Chair at the Department of Social Anthropology and Research Director at Score, Stockholm University. Her research interests lie in the anthropology of organizations and markets, with a focus on transnational processes.
