The right to laziness, an urgent claim
Written by Isabelle Stengers on 28 March 2013
In the framework of the group exhibition Bon Travail, Argos invited two philosophers on the 27th of march to talk about the role of laziness in society today: Isabelle Stengers (ULB) and Petra Van Brabandt (Sint Lucas Antwerp). They investigated what our ambiguous position regarding laziness says about working, enjoyment, the modern day production and consumption model and our mortality.
