Mobilizing Workers Poetry
A Pedagogical Journal
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 March 2024
Abstract
Under lockdown in a boarding school in China, students staged a performance based on poetry written by Chinese migrant workers. The poems guided an exploration of biotechnical interdependencies in and between local and global environments and the composition of the resistance script and movement score of laboring bodies embedded in the poems.
