In this issue of Lumpen, we feature texts describing various experiences of work, paid or unpaid, respected or dismissed by our society, legal or illegal. We hear what work means in our lives, why do we engage in it, or why not. How do we survive in a society that requires us to make money to live, and how do we handle that while also navigating our lives and unpaid work.
Possibly one of the topics with most submissions (wonder why?), it was hard to choose amongst all the texts we received! Special thanks to all our authors, we've put together an issue we are extra proud of.
To all our Lumpen subscribers and authors published in this issue, your paper copy is on its way and will be with you shortly. If you aren't currently subscribed to Lumpen, you can sign up here to receive 3 paper copies a year (UK only, fuck Brexit).
If you don't wish to subscribe but would like to read this issue on WORK, you can order a paper copy within the UK from Seditionist or buy a digital copy here.
Stay tuned for our next issues. The upcoming topics this year will be on queerness and disability in relation to class. Looking forward to more amazing submissions from poor and working class voices!
As you may know, editing Lumpen isn't the only thing we do here at CWP. If you know anyone in Oxford, there is still time to book a spot on our Oxford workshop this Sunday where we will talk about housing and class. Or email us to book an intersectional Exploring Class workshop for your organisation.
