This course explores how the moving image, performance, and photography relate to exhaustion, labor, and the body. Students study how photography advanced principles of scientific management and precise measurements of fatigue. We also consider how the moving image has served as a dynamic lens, documenting, shaping, and reflecting the historical evolution of the body's role and representation within various labor contexts. We ask how chronophotography contributed to a science of work, and we analyze the ways in which the science of work, exhaustion, and the body participate in the production of modern hierarchies of racial and sexual difference. By examining the intersection of art, science, and technology, we focus on how bodies performing for the camera have contributed to the development of a scientific understanding—and management—of fatigue as exhaustion and of the human body as a source of labor power.
