ephemera issue on free work releasednew ephemera issue on free work released In this issue of ephemera, our contributors inquire into the relation between freedom and work. They ask, for example, whether it is even possible to free oneself from ideals of freedom? Or is the fantasy of an imagined place of freedom, the utopia in which no work taints our lives, simply too prevalent? It may be the case that in contemporary life, we fool ourselves yet further when we ask for freedom within our working life. But can we free ourselves from the very prospect of freedom? This issue is also available in print, produced in cooperation with MayFly Books. From now on, all issues of ephemera will be available in print, produced in cooperation with MayFly Books.
