Anna Mayr
- The wretched
- Why our society despises the unemployed and still needs them
- Lecture
Anna Mayr used to be ashamed of her parents’ unemployment. Today she knows that our society needs the unemployed: At least as threatening images of misery, so that others are motivated to continue working. In Die Elenden, Mayr shows why we should rethink the history of work – as the history of the unemployed.
How will the view of unemployment develop in and after the pandemic? Has it even changed yet? And what might a society look like in which we no longer need “the miserable” to give meaning to our lives?
Anna Mayr studied geography and literature in Cologne and worked as a German teacher. Today she is an editor in the politics department of DIE ZEIT and lives in Berlin.
In cooperation with DGB Heidelberg Rhein-Neckar and GEW Rhein-Neckar.
