Life and work, and their dependence upon one another, are often imagined as increasingly precarious.
At the same time, “creative capital” invests a kind of promise in precarity. The manipulation of affect
is stock in trade for art production, theatrical and performance labor, and now constitutes everyday
anxieties about work and living in the current economy. This conference reconsiders the feminist
critique of the relation of time and work, material and immaterial labor, waged and unwaged emotional labor.
Are we living in the affect factory?
