[Frameworks] The Complaining Body

[Chuck Kleinhans]

If you include video:

Laura Kipnis, Marx: The Video (1990)
presents the personal medical ailment of painful carbuncles erupting on Marx’s body while he was working on Capital in comparison with the economic and political analysis of the body politic under capitalism.

Hi Frameworkers,

I'm looking for some help putting together a list of films that address ideas of the body under duress, or expressing complaint, in connection with labour conditions and workplace environments.

As a guide, the first on my list is The Nightcleaners by the Berwick Street Film Collective from 1975. I'm looking for shorts, features, commercial or educational films as well as experimental or artist cinema. (This is for personal research for a commission I'm undertaking in the UK, Manual Labours<http://www.manuallabours.co.uk/>, but there may also be a chance to screen some of the titles at a public event.)

Would greatly appreciate any signposts!

Best wishes,
Sarah
