ELO-C5522 - Worldbuilding, Luento-opetus, 3.5.2022-27.5.2022

Worldbuilding:

Warmup task Monday 2.5.2022

These tasks are completed individually at your own pace.

Morning:

Search and choose three details that come to your mind about the term "19th Century"*.

The details can be objects (such as tools, clothes, vehicles etc.), media artefacts (such as photographs, newspaper clippings, music etc.) or described atmospheres (such as smells, sounds etc.). If you choose a described atmosphere, do your research! (Example: what does the smoke from a steam engine smell – depending on fuel?)

The details are used on the afternoon task on Tuesday 3.5.

* time between 1800-1900

Afternoon:

We are going to see the performance "Kuolemantanssi" in TTT-theatre, Tampere on Thursday 5.5.

The performance is based on August Strindberg's play Dödsdansen (the Dance of Death):

The afternoon task is to read or listen the play. The text is difficult to find in Finnish at the moment, but can easily be found online in English and Swedish.
