UNTIMELY SACRIFICES: PANEL DISCUSSION ON DAENA FUNAHASHI'S NEW BOOK: "UNTIMELY SACRIFICES: WORK AND DEATH IN FINLAND"
PANEL DISCUSSION ON DAENA FUNAHASHI'S NEW BOOK:
"UNTIMELY SACRIFICES: WORK AND DEATH IN FINLAND"
What Moves Us? This is a question that lies at the core of economic attempts to harness and mobilize the productive activity of human beings. But work involves much more than what is legible under economic thinking. As regimes of labor shift, the idea of our selves as the source of what gives our time and energy falls under doubt.
Via an engagement with Daena Funahashi's study of burnout, stress, and untimely death in the Finnish workplace, this panel examines the origins of social bonds. What drives us to give – at times, even against our self-interests? The participating scholars each explore this question via an analysis of sovereignty, vulnerability, and the stakes of letting the outside in.
