SYNOPSIS
The first truly global history of work is an upbeat assessment starting from the age of the hunter-gatherer through to the present day We work because we have to, but also because we like it: from hunting-gathering over 700,000 years ago to the present era of zoom meetings, humans have always worked to make the world around them serve their needs. Jan Lucassen provides an inclusive history of humanity's busy workr throughout the ages. Spanning China, India, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, Lucassen looks at the ways in which humanity organizes work: in the household, the tribe, the city, and the State. He examines how work is split between men, women, and children; the watershed moment of the invention of money; the collective action of workers; as well as the impact of migration, slavery, and the idea of leisure. From peasant farmers in the first agrarian societies through to the precarious existence of today's gig workers, this surprising account of both cooperation and subordination in work sheds essential light on the opportunities that we face today.
Another session of the Books of Our Time Debate Cycle, will take place, on the book entitled The Time of Revolt, by Donatella di Cesare (2021).
The work will be presented by researcher Ana Luísa Silva (ISEG), followed by a debate moderated by Professor Luís Mah (ISEG).
The event starts at 15.00, in Auditorium 2 (Quelhas, 2nd Floor).
Free admission, subject to pre-registration. Register now HERE.
SYNOPSIS:
Marginalised by reflection and presented as a chaotic and sombre event by the media narrative, revolt is an incandescent topic on the global stage. In this book, Donatella Di Cesare addresses the subject for the first time from a political and philosophical point of view, offering a suggestive and timely picture of current events.
Similar to migration, revolt enables us to glimpse what is happening ‘outside’, beyond the statocentric order, at the limits of political architecture and around the guarded boundaries of public space.
In a tribute to revolt and its rise to power, Di Cesare also questions contiguous phenomena, as well as resistance and the lost revolution in the many senses of this expression. If the movements that occupy city squares which evidence the decline of representation demand the right to appear and enter the public space, then revolt goes further beyond: whereby instead of accepting the internal conflict, it questions the very contours of that space.
The protagonists are many: ranging from the new disobedient to those who practice anonymity on the Internet, and from those who denounce infractions, to those who declare themselves invisible.
The Time of Revolt offers a political interpretation of the mask and talks about zones of irresponsibility.To hide in order to show oneself represents a challenge to the State that condemns any mask that is not its own, or the faceless financial power, or the bare economy, remaining indifferent to its effects. The enormous dissymmetry is thus revealed, where the disparity of forces is exposed, and planetary surveillance is denounced.
Revolt is not an ephemeral event, but rather an anarchic transition that occurs by way of disengagement from the political architecture.
"The anarchist revolt violates the borders of the State, denationalizes the presumed citizens, liberates and alienates them and makes them temporarily stateless, inviting them to proclaim themselves to be foreign residents".
