Performative Representation of Working-Class Laborers

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.
