Date: Monday, 9 September 2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: Unitarian Church, High Street, Swansea SA1 1NZ
Directions: The venue is situated at the southern-most point of the main High Street, a short distance south of the main rail station, and next door to an Argos superstore.
A talk by Howard Moss
Worship of celebrities manifests a denial among individual workers of their own uniqueness, of the contribution they are capable of making to a common social end. Instead they merge their identity with those they see as greater or better or more powerful then themselves –whether in sport, or cinema or royalty. Living their lives in the shadow of those they perceive as better is the social equivalent of the other life -– the economic one - –that they lead where they live as wage slaves at the behest of those who own and control capital while easily imagining that, because they live in a system that is called democracy, they somehow have shared interests with those above them who control their lives.
All welcome
Audience participation invited
