„Blick in eine ferne Zukunft“ – Das Zentrum für Angewandte Kulturwissenschaft des KIT lädt zur Konferenz über die Arbeitswelten im 22. Jahrhundert. - Campus-Report am 14.09.2021

How many hours per week will we work on average in 2100? Are we going to work at all? And if not, what are we going to do with all the free time? The research project “FutureWork - Work in Transition to the 22nd Century”, funded by the Federal Ministry of Science, dares to take a bold look into a distant future. It doesn't just rely on the predictions of ergonomists and futurologists. Science fiction in literature and film often paints a picture of the future that can more reliably throw off the shackles that the present puts on our imaginations. Next weekend, the Center for Applied Cultural Studies at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is organizing a conference in which the first results will be presented and publicly discussed.
