CHOSEN GESTURE: Sleeping


RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

1 Where & When does the sleeping gesture appear?
2 Did sleeping gesture evolve through time?
3 What is the cultural meaning of the gesture? Did it evolve?
4 In which other context does this gesture appear?
5 How did the gesture travel from one body, human or non human or mechanic to another?
6 How does the gesture have different meaning depending on the body that perform it (ages, body, ability, gender, race, class) ?

Final assignment:

What:

How to manipulate or distort a system that can limit or expand freedom of movement of employees in workplaces through surveillance.

form of surveillance:
supervisors
managers
video surveillance
customers expectation
space


How:
change the professional appearance of supervisors.
change the appearance of the video surveillance
work contract -



Why:
In workplaces, employees are constantly being surveilled through their performance and if they do not perform well or behave in a
default attitude, their risk of losing their job increases. As compared to public settings, the consciousness of being surveilled by security guards or video
surveillance have lesser impact to a general public since they do not have strong liability for example, people who crosses the street are barely being fined by the police though there are thousands who jaywalked.



Our prediction of impact:

people would question the legitimacy of the surveillance - / doubt block
more freedom of behavior

As a group we divided the research for each group member

4 In which other context does this gesture appear?

WHY DO WE SLEEP?

WHAT HAPPENS WITH LACK OF SLEEEP?

6 How does the gesture have different meaning depending on the body that perform it (ages, body, ability, gender, race, class) ?
