Is it time for a new social contract? A discussion following the screening of the film “Breaking Social”, dir. Fredrik Gertten
PL
“Breaking Social” revolves around the social contract (“the rules that we follow and that some don’t”) and focuses, in particular, on the patterns of corruption and kleptocracy erasing the social fabric, which is then followed by social uprisings. From Malta through the US to Chile, citizens – especially from the younger generations – are demanding change. Tired of the delusion of meritocracy (the assumption that everyone gets as much as they have earned) and the neo-liberal logic that pervades reality, they are becoming increasingly agitated. How do we transform rebellion and social discontent into a viable vision of a better world? What can we do locally? We will discuss this with academics and activists.
