Seminar May 8 18.00-20.00 short films and talk at Filmform<\/a>, Svarvargatan 2, Stockholm.<\/p>\n

The subject for the evening is the<\/i> honor of work, <\/i>in Swedish Arbetets \u00e4ra.<\/i><\/p>\n

The title is taken from a monument over the working class in Malm\u00f6 created by artist Axel Ebbe in 1929. The sculpture group is placed on M\u00f6llev\u00e5ngstorget, Malm\u00f6 and depicts naked bodies carrying a rock in their bare arms. The industrial skyline of Malm\u00f6 is also depicted on the massive stone. The whole society rests on the shoulders of the working class. That is the honor of work and the workers. But how does this honor look today? In a near future where machines are doing work, together with artificial intelligence, what will happen with the work and the honor?\u00a0 Are we left with the degradation of manual work, where the dirty jobs are managed by underpaid labor living under poor conditions, and on the other hand the magical artistic work?\u00a0 Will machines and artificial intelligence also dream and feel honor and pride?\u00a0 And why must people who have a job work themselves to the point of death? Do we have a Swedish form of the Japanese phenomenon Kar\u014dshi<\/i>(Japanese= death by overwork) or a local variant of the Soviet Stakhanovism? A Lutheran Stakhanovism?<\/p>\n
