Description/Abstract:

In this book chapter published in the edited volume, 'Marx at the Movies', Silke Panse discusses the rights of the documentary protagonist as a worker. This essay looks at the work of the protagonist as the raw material of documentary images taken and owned by others. It develops thought by Marx and post-Marxists on the relation between the material, the worker and the capitalist in order to explore the material and immaterial labour of the documentary protagonist. This chapter takes the stance that affective immaterial labour is also material, since it requires physical presence. The material in question is that of the documentary protagonist in the image.
