Unworkable
2022,2024
Overview
Unworkable discusses the ongoing implosion of our
globalized world from three distinct angles: the capitalist
elimination of labor through technological automation, the
dissolution of our shared social narratives, and the subtle
imposition of an increasingly pervasive ideological order. Aiming
to root out the lost cause of this implosion, Fabio Vighi returns
to Marx by way of Hegel, Lacan, Gorz, Baudrillard, and other
thinkers who, in different ways, have reflected on the complex
dialectical structure of modernity and its hidden conditions of
possibility. Capitalism, Vighi argues, fundamentally redefined the
meaning of work and prevented the emergence of alternative forms of
life. In our own time, the delusions of work and the values that
propel life under capitalism have become, in Vighi's analysis,
unworkable . And yet, even as we become an increasingly
\"workless\" society, we continue to abide by the same laws of
productivity and profit.
