{"product_id":"vibes-as-value-david-farrugia-9781526187314","title":"Vibes as Value: Young Workers and Affective Labour in the Service Economy","description":"Vibes as value explores the relationship between subjectivity, labour and value in the hospitality industry, and thereby how youth, gender, sexuality, race and social class are embodied and made productive in the service economy. It shows that the key product of hospitality labour is 'vibes', or moments of enjoyment and relationality co-produced through exploitative relationships amongst workers and consumers. In the process, the book theorises hospitality as a form of affective labour organised through the normative and structural relations of precarious service work. It shows how identity construction produces value within the highly unequal social terrain of the service economy, and how hospitality labour enacts hierarchies of value extending far beyond the limits of the industry itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Farrugia,Julia Coffey,Steven Threadgold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526187310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526187314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"David Farrugia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425629487359,"sku":"9781526187314","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b313a35-84ca-4ce9-831d-9c7f0a6b427c.jpg?v=1761540532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vibes-as-value-david-farrugia-9781526187314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
