Episode 19 - Hard Work Never Killed Anybody, Part I: Subduing Death, Modernity‘s Heroic Intent
2019-08-06
In this episode of Ergasia, we begin an exploration of the book Hard Work Never Killed Anybody: How the Idolisation of Work Sustains this Deadly Lie, by John Bottomley, published by Morning Star Publishing in 2015.
What are the beliefs that underpin modernity's construction of work and economy? How did these beliefs come into being? What is the role of ideology in this process? How are modernity's beliefs about work and what constitutes the legitimate spheres for the expression of human emotion sustained? These are the questions we explore as we start this new series.
