Huomaa! Kurssikuvaus vahvistetaan kahdeksi lukuvuodeksi kerrallaan ja esimerkiksi osaamistavoitteet, arviontimenetelmät ja keskeinen sisältö pysyvät pääsääntöisesti samana. Kullakin toteutuskerralla voidaan kuitenkin kurssiesitteen avulla tarkentaa ja muuttaa kurssin toteutustapaa, kuten kontaktiopetuksen järjestämistapaa, arviointimenetelmien painotusta tai materiaaleja.

    Description

    Happening during “Labor Week” this course will explore documentary films centered on the notion of labor. For this course we will have the pleasure of welcoming Olaf Möller with whom we will explore an eclectic approach to the subject. 

    The course will combine more traditional considerations of labor (i.e. mining, factory workers, peasants, etc.) with films that focus on the labor of cultural production (yes, filmmaking can also be hard work!), the labor of professional sport and pornography. 

    Issues of work, exploitation, the body, and physical and mental exhaustion will be covered in the course throughout screenings and discussions of films.
