Slackers don’t “just” slack off; they go at it full-tilt. Performing laziness – that is, the studied and ostentatious practice of doing not much – is all-consuming. But is it subversive? Does it have seditious potential within a regime of productivism? Can it be decreative, obstructing the reifying thrust of the “creative” industry and class with their “artistic research projects”?</p> http://www.northeastwestsouth.net/site/node/287#comments leisure performative productivism slackers Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:35:44 +0100
