Datum:

The Confession (L'aveu) is a 1970 French-Italian film directed by Costa-Gavras. It follows the story of the Czechoslovak communist Artur London, a defendant in the 1952 Slánský trial against "the leadership of the anti-state conspiracy centre". Unlike other defendants, London was not executed in the political trial and later wrote a memoir book together with his wife upon which the movie is based.

The event will be held in English. An informal discussion will follow the screening as always.

Article discussion: In Praise of Idleness (Anarchist bookfair Prague)

Datum: 
Saturday, 27 May, 2023 - 13:00 to 14:00

Thanks to the rise in productivity since the industrial revolution, working days of four hours should suffice to provide everyone with their basic needs. In 1932, Bertrand Russel wrote an essay titled "In Praise of Idleness", about how the resulting increase in leisure time would benefit everybody's life and society as a whole. He addressed the cultural and political issues that stand in the way to achieve this.

Now, more than 90 years later, working days still have not drastically shortened. We will discuss the essay and how it is still very relevant today.
