- Title
Le travail gestionnaire comme psychopolitique au service de la transformation sociale du Québec : une étude du journal Les Affaires, 1928–1933.

- Abstract
This article focuses on a type of work that has been studied very little: managerial work. Following Braverman, we consider it to be work in its own right. Its characteristics, however, are different from those of labour work. If the latter is biopolitics by the work it produces on the body, managerial work is psychopolitics designed to forge a new individual defined by skills, technical and cognitive, and above all psychological. Assuming an educational position, the newspaper, Les Affaires, published in Quebec from 1928, undertook, among other projects, to define managerial work, thus producing a discourse making it possible to legitimize capitalist transformation.
