The workshop The Dissensual Awareness of Labor traces the definition of labor with discussions, lectures, performances and readings in November 2014.
(…) work and availability »eat up time«; »there’s no more time«; »there’s simply no time«. This lack of time, or rather, this time invested in fragmented work and in the search for work, results in both economic impoverishment and a loss of subjectivity. The proper use of time is no longer an imperative to one’s working time. This exploitation of time invades every hour of an individual’s life, whether employed or not.
Maurizio Lazzarato, March 2013
To conclude the interdisciplinary project »Chronicles of Work«, in which the Akademie Schloss Solitude has been discursively dealing with the consequences of the changes in the definitions of work and labor organization in contemporary society over the course of three years, the workshop The Dissensual Awareness of Labor will be held in November 2014.
On the occasion of this closing event, experts, jurors and fellows of the Akademie will join to look back and reexamine the numerous propositions brought forth in various different emphases and types of events over the last couple of years.
Instead of settling for a common definition, the overarching aim of the workshop will be to trace the Rancierian notion of »dissensual awareness« within the conception of labor by means of discussions, lectures, performances, film screenings and readings.
