SUMMARY:Work in Utopia
UID:20260612T061233Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm
TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Lancaster\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>Contact: Dr Sam Clark\, sam.clark@lancaster.ac.uk</p>\n<p>Time:&nbsp\;9.15am-5.30pm</p>\n<p>Ideals aren&rsquo\;t enough: we need realistic assessments of possibilities and immediate tactics too. But ideals are necessary\, because without them we can&rsquo\;t evaluate possibilities or form goals for our tactics. This one-day workshop at Lancaster University will consider ideals for work (what we do to make a living): what work would or will or should be in utopia. Should there be any work\, or is it a curse from which we should free ourselves? How should work be distributed? How should appealing\, autonomous\, high-status work\, or menial\, grim\, low status work\, be distributed? How should our working lives be organised - in hierarchies\, democracies\, by individual contract? What is the ideal of craftsmanship worth? What is the right relationship between work and education? between work and self-development? between work and play? between work at home and work outside it? Speakers will consider representations of utopian work\, real-world prefiguring of utopian work\, normative argument about the goods and evils of work\, and the uses of utopianism for thinking about these issues.</p>
