Temple University Press, 2005 - 228 sidor
In "Labor of Fire, " Bruno Gull1/4 offers a timely and much needed re-examination of the concept of labor. Distinguishing between productive labor (working for money or subsistence) and living labor (working for artistic creation), Gull1/4 convincingly argues for a definition of work that recognizes the importance of artistic and social creativity to our definition of labor and the self.
Gull1/4 lays the groundwork for his book by offering a critique of productive labor, and then maps out his productive/living labor distinction in detail, reviewing the work of Marx and others.
