Living
Labor
Living
Labor
considers the increasing subordination of life to work. Despite
economic instability, growing income gaps across countries and the
rise of a migratory, flexible and underpaid labor force, our
commitment to productivity is unflagging. Today, work enlists us to
psychologically invest ourselves in a boundaryless work life, which
seeks to instrumentalize all of our waking hours. In response to the
eroding boundaries between work and life, and against the
historic backdrop of the Scandinavian labor movement, the writers
gathered in Living
Labor
propose viable forms of refusal and imagine prospects for a post-work
future. Contributions by Will Bradley, Julia Bryan-Wilson, Carl
Cedarström and Peter Fleming, Annette Kamp, Michala Paludan, Olivia
Plender and Hester Reeve, Ole Martin Rønning, and Kathi Weeks.

The
Phantom of Liberty: Contemporary Art and the Pedagogical Paradox
What
kind of ideological apparatus is our current school system, and how
is the relationship between freedom and discipline considered in the
system’s most recent controversial changes? The
Phantom of Liberty
is a response to ongoing debates about pedagogy, school, and
educational policy. The modern state is occupied by the question how
schooling can be made more efficient, how children’s learning can
be optimized. The interest in children’s performance at school
undoubtedly stems from the competition thinking that characterizes
“adult society.” Contributions by Emanuel Almborg, Dave Hullfish
Bailey, Adelita Husni Bey, Nils Christie, Ane Hjort Guttu, Carl
Hegemann, Carsten Rene Jørgensen, Lars Bang Larsen, Sharon Lockhart,
Magnus Marsdal, Marit Paasche and Allan Sekula.
