Abstract

Abstract This essay explores the activities of strikers at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL over a 14 day-period in the early spring of 2018. These days were part of the 2018 University and College Union (UCU) Pension Strike, one of the largest strikes of university academics in recent times, which occurred over a 4-week period, with strike days increasing from two days in the first week, to five by the final week. This was a strike to protect the pensions of university workers as a defined benefit scheme rather than a defined contribution one. This essay is structured as a two-stranded diary, weaving together textual materials taken from the Strike chronicle and website produced at the time, with critical reflections written in the present, concerning the current state of the neo-liberal university, discussing issues relating to pensions – namely institutional critique, ethics and equity, labor and work, precarity and care.

罢工之后?第一部分:纠察线的过渡空间

本文探讨了2018年早春，伦敦大学学院巴特利特建筑学院罢工者在14天内的活动。这是近年来规模最大的大学教员罢工之一的“2018年大学和学院工会(UCU)养老金罢工”的一部分，罢工时间从第一周的两天增加到最后一周的五天，持续了4周。这次罢工是为了保护大学职工的养老金作为一种固定收益计划，而不是固定缴款计划。这篇文章的结构是一个两股的日记，将当时罢工编年史和网站上的文本材料编织在一起，与现在写的批判性反思，关于新自由主义大学的现状，讨论与养老金有关的问题-即制度批评，道德与公平，劳动与工作，不稳定与照顾。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
