Performing Welfare

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the impact of dismantling state social security systems on socially committed performance. It examines the effects of austerity measures and the transformation of the Welfare State in the UK since 2010, highlighting the scapegoating of marginalized groups and the intertwining of morality with work. By analyzing the artistic, material, and ideological repercussions of these changes, the author sheds light on the challenges faced by applied and socially engaged performance in this evolving landscape.
