Class Trouble / Klassenkörper
This workshop aims to open a space where complex and sometimes invisible class structures can be understood and negotiated collectively. The starting point is a close reading of Mark Fisher’s Good for Nothing (in English) and Tanja Abou’s Prololesben und Arbeiter*innentöchter (in German), clarifying questions about the texts and exchanging experiences. The second part uses physical exercises to look at embodied aspects of class inequalities, focusing on different physical structures (e.g. skeleton and musculature). To what extent is class a physical experience? How do class inequalities manifest themselves in bodies?
