On an oblique note to the post industrial city - the case of Manchester
is instructive. The social formations that emerge in such landscapes is
entertainingly told in 24 hour Party People (probably available in your
local video store under rock music).
The mockumentary tracks the history of Factory Records and the music
clubs associated with the bands that were active in Manchester late 70s
-early 80s. 
And later this year we get to see it all again when Control the biopic
about Ian Curtis (Joy Division) comes out.
If we are serious about constructing a comprehensive emotional
geography of a particular time and place then we need to look beyond 
overtly didactic representations.

Michael:

 

I've seen the film.  I don't have a systematic set of thoughts but
rather an anecdote.  There's a sequence further into the film where
workers are breaking apart old oil tankers in Bangladesh.  This is the
photographing that Burtinsky became renowned for. At one point, the
narrator (or Edward Burtinsky - I can't remember) says, "there's no
one
over 33 working here."  That's a pretty stark SDOH "aha".  I thought
the
film was definitely worth seeing, from a variety of perspectives - as
a
photographic project, too, and how Burtinsky has chosen to present his
work (in terms of how we communicate SDOH messages to the public).

 

Have fun.

	Hey folks,
	
	Just an informal poll, to shake things up just a bit:
	
	Has anyone on this ListServ seen the film "Manufactured
Landscapes"?  

	If so - any thoughts that you'd be willing to share on it from
an SDOH perspective?
	
	I have a copy that I'm looking forward to seeing, but I was
hoping that the list members might point out a few observations to
look
out for that would be indicators that we're all fascinated by... 
	 

	I haven't viewed the whole documentary yet - but I did watch
the
5-8 minute opening sequence where there is a long uninterrupted pan of
the inside of a Chinese factory.  The scene was astounding - it seemed
like miles of warehouse floor under one roof.  It made me wonder about
the social conditions associated with this sort of workplace. 
	
	I was hoping to hear some thoughts about these sorts of working
conditions and gain some professional/academic perspective with which
to
watch the film. 
	
	Have a look at the link, and the comments provided by past
viewers. 
	http://imdb.com/title/tt0832903/ 
<http://imdb.com/title/tt0832903/%20> 
	 

	 

	Cheers,

	Michael
