“Between Holidays and Care: On Recreation, Care Work, and Free Time.”
In this episode of *Between the Lines*, we are heading into our summer break and taking the opportunity to reflect on holidays, rest, and the conditions under which breaks are possible in the first place. We discuss the difference between holidays and time free from paid work, the fact that care work continues even during the holidays, and the expectations associated with summer as a time of rest and relaxation. We also offer a preview of the upcoming conference episodes and what to expect after the summer break.
This episode explores:
- Holidays and time off work
- Care work and the question of why it never takes a break
- The idea of summer as a time for rest and reading
- An introduction to the upcoming conference episodes
What does it actually mean to have time off – and what are the conditions that make rest possible?
