Write 6 pages essay:
In Carl Cederström and Peter Fleming's "DEAD MAN WORKING" they sate: "The perplexing question running through the pages of this book is the following: How can we resist capitalism when it has penetrated our very mode of social being" (8)? What is the argument they are making about contemporary work? Why has it become essentially useless? What insight does Virno provide in regards to Post-Fordist work, especially those sections where Virno discusses the 'General intellect?' How might Lordon respond? Particularly when we take into consideration the conatus, and the joy that comes in consumption, versus the joy in retaining a job. How might Virno and Lordon help explain Cederstöm and Fleming's question?
