Lecture: John Zerzan, "Origin(s) of Stress, Time and Domestication in World History: An Overview"

On Tue, Mar 14, the Seminar "Stress and Daily Life of the Middle Classes in China, Germany, India and Japan" presents John Zerzan who will speak on "Origin(s) of Stress, Time and Domestication in World History: An Overview"

The Departments of Chinese Studies, Indology/South Asian Studies, and Japanese Studies of the University of Tübingen and the German Society for Time Policy (DGfZP), Berlin, cordially invite you to a lecture that is part of the interdisciplinary seminar

Stress and Daily Life of the Middle Classes in China, Germany, India and Japan

held by Divyaraj Amiya, M.Phil., Dr. Felix Spremberg, and Dr. Ulrich Theobald.

John Zerzan, questioning our traditional understanding of time, work, stress, daily life and their possible futures, belongs to the school of philosophers who actively argue against the mainstream common sense in the Western or the Eastern world. He is sceptical of both streams, be it technophilic Ray Kurzweil of the Singularity fame (belief in the imminent merger of biological with non-biological intelligence) or of Noam Chomsky for not being sufficiently critical.
