Two-three things we know about volunteerism (2014)

Two-three things we know about volunteerism (2014)

We will try to analyze volunteerism as a social and historical phenomenon, as a condition that derived as a result of the conflict between antagonistic forces. This way of perceiving things – and we deeply believe that – frees us from a unilateral understanding of the phenomenon, which, as such, is by definition wrong.Keep in mind that our analysis does not purport to be crowned with sociological laurels, which we also dislike. Our aim was – as far as possible – to offer a proletarian reading of the neoliberal form of the state that transformed volunteering in what we know nowadays. 2. How is volunteerism conceptualized nowadays, 3. Who takes advantage from the results of volunteerism. We are definitely not interested in discussing possible solutions or what we “must do” to make our life better with more solidarity and less volunteerism. First of all we must learn to analyze and then to discuss.

Volunteers? Useful. To whom?
