Seminar

Group A

Karl Marx’s theory about alienation shows that it’s not about the tasks themselves, as workers are not connected to the results of their labour and don’t know how it benefits society

Precarity, automation and the conditions of cultural work -Risk of failure, fear of failure creates stress -Professional relationship provides support -Pleasurable aspects justify painful aspects -The social Factory, state of readiness and blurring of boundaries.

Assembly case studies: -Exclusive communities, generally more working class who are resident in these areas -The creative industries, artist are individual, this idea of individuality can be sold. -Artist is seen as passionate about what they do, they are ideal workers and creative labour is not seen as labour.

Fordism and Post Fordism (intangible, can produce anywhere)

Autonomism and refusal of work work = play = work

Instrumentalisation of creativity -Graphic facilitation -The gig economy (Uber) -Not recognised as creative jobs

Precariat, ‘Proletariat’

Crisis, Turn oneself into a brand.

Processing. Still quite upset about having had to sit down for two hours with someone whose work taxpayers' money pays for, yet it became even more apparent in that meeting that he has no idea what he's doing and towards what end. That this would be the end of the five years with the op-ed column is what gets my goat: was there no better way to end it? Or maybe this was the only way, given the state of this government and the discourse it lives off. No getting my two hours back though. #writer #culturalwork #DutertesMen #endings #beginnings #brewpoint

Luther’s understanding of vocation opens up space to do cultural work without mixing it, infecting it with a certain kind of ‘spirituality’ that it need not.

Right. First of last two columns with The Manila Times, which I've been doing for five years, a decision that is about moving on that is also about going back to roots and beginnings, of why I started writing to begin with and towards what end. If at all the regularity of a column taught me that there will always be stories rarely told, issues that are silenced, information that's controlled, discussions not had. And while it is a sad state of affairs when funding and social media can allow anyone at all to label themselves as writers, it is also the best time to BE writer, isn't it? Because there is so much to prove, and you are forced to level-up, to negotiate, to understand better this state of cultural affairs so intricately tied as it is to the state of the nation. I have wondered what I am going to do now, after having gotten used to this column. And this is still the answer: write. #culturalwork #writer

I'd tell you how crazy my week was, but here's Pedro to tell you instead. #WorkingGirl #CulturalWorker #CulturalWork #CulturalLabor

Cultural Labor. The most dedicated, hardworking laborers I've met in the cultural sector are those who rarely get the limelight, who play the bit parts, do the production work, who labor behind the scenes, who make things move like clockwork, but also catch it before things go awry. None of us have unions to protect us, to unite us, to ensure both fair treatment from our employers as well as our professional output and development. Hope springs eternal of course, that one day soon enough we will realize the value of real unity -- not the kind that is about patronage and politics -- but about the fundamental issues that we share as cultural workers. Often, in utang-na-loob, entitlement-driven Philippine cultural sector, I think it will never happen. #LaborDay #Philippines #Pilipinas #CulturalWork #CulturalLabor #CulturalWorkIsWork #CulturalCrisis #AngKulturaAyHindiPabuya
