Thinking Labor with Cinema

What can cinema teach us about labor, in the past, the present or the future? From "Workers Leaving the Factory" (Louis and Auguste Lumière and Harun Farocki) to the question of automation; from protest and resistance to the rhythms of the workday on screen, cinema has been a laboratory and incubator for ideas about work, value, time, energy, and capital. While the issue will focus on cinema, we may also consider work that engages with other screen media cultures as long as cinema remains a point of reference. Essays may focus on specific films, genres, styles; or they may look more broadly at critical theories or limitations of the filmic apparatus to engage labor.

Please send abstracts or inquiries by January 15 to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
