Course Schedule

The simple idea of the course is to have some lecturing and readings on visual anthropology, plus the same on the topic of what unemployment is in the contemporary capitalist system. And most importantly, for the students to do an experimental visual anthropology project, in teams of 2 - 4 people. Topic how and what the unemployed do the unemployement? Making visible something not immediately or apparently so.

22.2. What the course is about. What anthropology is about - some views on visual in anthropology. Anthropology and visual as methodology.

1.3. Work and unemployment - facts, ideas, theories, concepts.

8.3. Teams present their plans for anthropology project: what are they going to research, how are they going to do it and what form would their reporting take. Making use of one concept, idea and piece of text (one sentence is enough) from a) one text on anthropology AND b) one text on work and/or unemployment. Thinking also of documentation (or not, the form of it).

15.3. Presentation from the Työstakieltäytyjienliitto (Union of Work Refuters).

22.3. Either we get together to explore a required topic all together. Or, Taina and Eetu will be available for the teams for consultation, and time is dedicated for doing the projects.

29.3. Presentation of the projects - approximately 30mins per project, presentations preferably shorter for longer discussion to be possible.
