Class Trouble

The starting point is the joint reading of two texts (Marc Fisher "Good for nothing", English text; Tanja Abou "Prololesben und Arbeiter*innentöchter", German text), which will be provided in good time before the workshop. During joint reading breaks, thoughts will be shared, questions of understanding clarified and personal experiences exchanged.


After a break, a second workshop block follows with physical and relaxation exercises. The focus will be on embodied aspects of social inequality: Which physical structures - such as the skeleton or musculature - reflect social experiences? How does class manifest itself in the body?


The aim is to make complex and often invisible class relations tangible and to reflect on them together.


The workshop will be held in spoken German.


Knowledge of English is helpful for one of the two texts, but not required.
