Résumé

Depuis 2 larges décennies, la globalisation bat son plein dans les sociétés dites développées, soulevant de criants enjeux parmi lesquels se présente aujourd'hui le risque global de surcharge mentale au travail. La période 1980-2006, afférente au nouveau monde global, est effectivement caractérisée par la toute nouvelle division internationale du travail. Mais le contexte d'ordre globalitaire est aussi le creuset d'un individualisme croissant, d'une culture du risque et d'une incertitude nouvelle, comme il est caractérisé par diverses logiques-clés (marchande, productive, cyber, dromocratique), tous ces éléments concourant à l'actuelle (sur)charge mentale des individus.

Abstract

For more than 2 decades, globalization has been in full swing in the so-called developed societies and has given rise to urgent issues. One such issue that manifests itself today is the global risk of mental overload at work. A completely new international division of labour characterizes the period 1980-2006, during which the new globalized world has taken shape. But the context of globalization has also been the crucible of a growing individualism, a culture of risk, and a new uncertainty. This context is also characterized by a variety of key logics (mercantile, productive, cyber, dromocratic). All these elements contribute to individuals' current mental (over)load.
