The lecture (Il)Legitimate Means of Sustenance? Variations, Hierarchies, and Differences in Work and Livelihood and the Spectrum of Possible Consequences by Dr. Sigrid Wadauer, Privatdoz. (University of Vienna) will take place on Wednesday 13 November 2024 at 18:00 in Kampus Hybernská. 

Poster

Debates over economic crises, labour markets, and vagrancy in the 19th and early 20th centuries frequently point out the ambiguity of being out of work. The lecture will illustrate how distinctions were established and formalized and how individuals were categorized as entitled, deserving, deviant, or delinquent. The practical relevance of concepts such as honest sustenance, vocation, and the duty to care for the measures imposed will be highlighted.

Moderation: prof. Dr. phil. Pavel Himl (Charles University)
