Ergebnis für "Anna" in Soziologie

Nichts, was die Arbeit anbelangt, ist heute mehr selbstverständlich. Das zweite Maschinenzeitalter selbstlernender Computer und Roboter revolutioniert unseren Arbeitsmarkt. Es definiert neu was "Arbeit" ist, und wozu wir eigentlich noch arbeiten. Schon seit einiger Zeit arbeiten wir in den westlichen Industrieländern nicht mehr, um unsere Existenz zu sichern. Wir arbeiten, um zur Erwerbsarbeitsgesellschaft dazuzugehören.

Warum unsere Gesellschaft Arbeitslose verachtet und sie dennoch braucht. Faul. Ungebildet. Desinteressiert. Selber schuld. Als Kind von zwei Langzeitarbeitslosen weiß Anna Mayr, wie falsch solche Vorurteile sind. Früher schämte sie sich, dass ihre Eltern keine Jobs haben. Heute weiß sie, dass unsere Gesellschaft Menschen wie sie braucht: als drohendes Bild des Elends. In ihrem kämpferischen, thesenstarken Buch zeigt Mayr, warum wir die Geschichte der Arbeit neu denken müssen und wie eine Welt aussehen könnte, in der wir die Elenden nicht mehr brauchen, um unseren Leben Sinn zu geben.

Geld gab es in ihrer Familie immer zu wenig. Als Kind fragte sie sich deshalb, wie manche achtlos hunderte Euro für Taschen, Schuhe, Steaks ausgeben können, während es gleichzeitig so viele Menschen gibt, für die 100 Euro ein kleines Vermögen sind. Inzwischen ist sie selbst eine von denen geworden, die verschwenderisch Geld ausgeben: 60 Euro für einen Skipass, 225 Euro für eine Katzentherapeutin, 748 Euro für ein Brautkleid. Immer noch rechnet sie die Beträge in Hartz-IV-Regelsätze um. Ganz offen erzählt Anna Mayr von ihrer eigenen Bürgerlichwerdung.
