The diploma thesis formally consists of a mosaic of outputs across the media. It contains a set of videos, a set of embroidered pieces of clothing and a set of hand-drawn, subjective maps, all supplemented and accompanied by drawings, watercolors, texts, objects and audio. Thematically, the work has two layers. First, it deals with the reflection of (my) selected hobbies that relate to specific ideas about nature and landscape. These hobbies are divided into three thematic areas named Emo Maps, The Cowboy Spectrum, and Bio Tops. In the second layer, the work is a critical reflection on the use of hobby strategies in art work, as one of the last available ways to create in times of permanent crises.

This is then linked to the development of work in the 20th century and subsequently to post-work theory.

Subsequently, there is an analysis of working conditions, work narratives and social discourses on work: The diploma thesis defines specific manifestations of the theories in defined antinomies in workplaces which are addressed in the analyzed books. The definition of work as a space of politics of redistribution and politics of misrecognition is supported by conclusions based on the necessity of grasping the everydayness of work ethics as a concept that maintains the work system and its inequalities and also entails revolutionary emancipatory potential. The duality of work behavior, the necessity of connecting the politics of redistribution and recognition in...
