Performative Representation of Working-Class Laborers: They Work Hard
for the Money
is a transdisciplinary anthology intersecting art theory
praxis, comparative literature, film & media studies, performance art,
ethnic studies, gender studies, age & aging, geography, and labor
studies. The book investigates and analyzes artwork created by artists or
collectives working within the dialogue of Postmodernism and current
global arts production. The focus on performative aspect of labor
as art and affect becomes more sensate and less about the exploited body
of labourers, liberating the representation of waged bodies and
further diversifying the field of Working-Class Studies.
