DESCRIPTION:<p>Work is widely perceived as being &lsquo\;in crisis&rsquo\;. The crisis in question is quantitative\, with some working too much and others lacking access to sufficient work\; qualitative\, with work increasingly seen as meaningless\, alienating\, or exhausting\; and economic\, with work increasingly precarious\, insecure\, and undercompensated. The provocative label &lsquo\;post-work&rsquo\; has been applied to a body of scholarship and an activist agenda that responds to this crisis by envisioning a world &lsquo\;after&rsquo\; work. Unsurprisingly\, disagreement has arisen as to the exact contours of the post-work critique and agenda (Hester and Stronge 2020\, Dinerstein and Pitts 2021).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does &lsquo\;post-work society&rsquo\; mean\, and on what grounds\, if any\, is it desirable? What are the theoretical foundations of the post-work ideal? What are its challenges and problems?&nbsp\;For an edited volume\, we are looking for abstracts that focus primarily on these questions:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is meant by &lsquo\;work&rsquo\; in &lsquo\;post-work&rsquo\; arguments? How does &lsquo\;work&rsquo\; relate to notions such as labour\, jobs\, employment?</li>\n<li>Is the post-work movement&nbsp\;<em>anti</em>-work? Anti-employment?</li>\n<li>Are there competing understandings or ideals of a post-work society\, and how do they differ?</li>\n<li>Does post-work aim to eliminate work\, or instead to recover or liberate the value of work from the present labour status quo?</li>\n<li>How does the post-work movement relate to calls for increased opportunities for leisure or free time?</li>\n<li>What are the central moral notions driving the anti-work critique (freedom\, justice\, solidarity\, alienation\, etc.)?</li>\n<li>Is the charge that &lsquo\;post-work&rsquo\; is utopian a fair charge?</li>\n<li>What is the relation between &lsquo\;post-work&rsquo\; and technological change?</li>\n<li>What role does the feminist critique of reproductive labor play in shaping the post-work ideal?</li>\n<li>How are ethics and social justice framed and articulated in the post-work view?</li>\n<li>What is the relation between post-work and other philosophies of work?</li>\n<li>What role\, if any\, do environmental concerns play in working time reduction goals?</li>\n<li>How does the increasingly blurred line between the time of work and free time\, mediated by new technologies\, affect the post-work ideal?</li>\n<li>In what ways do the ideals of a &ldquo\;post-work&rdquo\; society address long-standing inequities concerning sex\, gender\, race\, disability\, and immigration status?</li>\n<li>What will be the role of labor markets in a &ldquo\;post-work&rdquo\; society? Are there alternatives to markets for allocating and compensating labor as productive contribution?</li>\n<li>Does &ldquo\;post-work&rdquo\; mean post-capitalist? Are there alternative economic models that realize or reflect the ideals of a &ldquo\;post-work&rdquo\; social order?</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The book&nbsp\;<em>Debating a Post-Work Future&nbsp\;</em>aims at providing a comprehensive\, critical overview of the nature and desirability of a post-work future. Authors are invited to submit abstracts proposals that address these questions\, or focus on different themes and approaches to a &ldquo\;post-work&rdquo\; critique and agenda. Abstracts should be&nbsp\;<strong>750 words</strong>\, and submitted to the email address <strong><a target="_blank">postworkproject@gmail.com</a></strong>&nbsp\;by&nbsp\;<strong>June 1\, 2021</strong>.&nbsp\;</p>\n\n<p>The editors</p>\n<p>Denise Celentano (Research Centre on Ethics\, University of Montreal)\, Michael Cholbi (University of Edinburgh)\, Jean-Philippe Deranty (Macquarie University)\, Kory Schaff (California State University)</p>
