2nd Meetings of the Elite Deviant Group

Deviant Philosophy
3.Paid Work Is Voluntary Servitude
2nd Group Meeting


This week we looked at our materials and tried to figure out how will we introduce other student to our topic. So far we managed to obtain only a limited amount of texts needed for the week 12 presentation. We have Carol Pateman’s Sexual Contract, Douglas Coupland’s Generation X and Bob Dylan’s lyrics. What we must still find is something from Locke, where he would discuss the topic of paid labor and how it affects people. We also came up with the idea to search the works of Voltaire for a similar text.
Currently we have two definite elements of servitude, corporate and sexual. We will elaborate on these more during our third meeting and hopefully will have more texts. Next Thursday we also plan to set up the skeleton of our presentation, which means we will know what we will discuss at the opening, middle and final stage of our presentation.
