Minor Compositions Podcast Season 2 Episode 4 Wages Against Dreamwork 
<https://www.minorcompositions.info/?p=1874>



In this episode of Minor Compositions, the usual format is playfully 
overturned as Richard Gilman-Opalsky stages a friendly “revolt,” taking 
over hosting duties to interview Stevphen Shukaitis about /The Wages of 
Dreamwork/, co-written with Joanna Figiel. What unfolds is less a 
conventional author interview than a comradely and reflective exchange 
on the conditions, contradictions, and possibilities of creative labor 
under contemporary capitalism. Moving between humor and critical 
analysis, the conversation explores dreamwork as both exploitation and 
potential: tracing how imagination, desire, and affect are captured 
within systems of value, while also gesturing toward forms of refusal, 
collectivity, and insurgent creativity. The episode places the book in 
relation to broader traditions of radical thought and publishing, 
unfolding as an open and informal exchange moving easily between 
discussion and reflection, and between critique and lived comradery.
