The subproject explores work/play relationships in a historical perspective and focusses on the demarcations of working from playing. To do so, it suggests the reconsideration of two key constellations: a) the establishment of the modern concept of work, its impact and underpinnings by discussing counter designs and critique in relation to transgressive concepts and practices of work in the early 19th century (WP1/WP2) and b) digital working worlds in the 20th/21st century that have embraced the usability of playing (WP3). Based on this structure, the spaims to demonstrate the mutual reflection of working/playing from early socialism of contemporary digital capitalism.
