GRMT164 PO - Profession? Job? Gig?: Changing Worlds of WorkWhen Offered: Fall 2020.
Instructor(s): H. Rindisbacher
Credit: 1
Based on a blend of texts from history, the social sciences, literature, and the arts, this cultural-studies course provides students with a survey of how humans have depicted, thought of, and written about work. Why do we work? How do we work? Where and when do we work? Who works? and who has leisure? The course privileges somewhat European and German ideas (Marx, Weber, socialist class and gender concepts of work) but is open to broader comparative and global contributions. It addresses issues of labor, the large-scale social and economic organization of work for an industry or a nation, as well as the psychological, emotional, individual dimension of identity, self-worth, and one’s social standing.
