Notes from previous lecture
Some blonde ideot with a camera and later on renzo himself with hmself in the frame to state that he is more "serious" and inteligable, and interested he shows himself in a more contemplative mode. Later on making some statements. The ringmatch the chaos, the army and later on the politician seem to make a statement on the current status that the country is in. Emphasized by the handheld camera Some critisim on several inhabitants at an exhibition by showing that the woman is literally ignoring his question about the poverty of the people. Some critisim on several inhabitants at an exhibition by showing that the woman is literally ignoring his question about the poverty of the people. Therefore she is ignoring the status of the poor in general. Also it is an artexhibition about poverty esthetisizing poverty. Renzi does not use very easthetical means. "does this mean his documentary is more real oprecht? Giving himself a saintlike status.
The part in the forest where they walk towarth a goal the music his singing, at a certain point the lighting in his face telling us there is some sort od action, redemption, enlightebment? (the wisdom he will bring? The role of the teacher?)
The big evil of the exploiters, the government, the company the first african person works for, the people who arrive in the plane taking the gold and (not heartily) bringing medicine. the good they do is also (foremost) in their own advantage.
What kind of information is marketable to the rest of the world? Negative information depiction. The value of other people agony.
Renzo calling in the midst of african children, some of them are eating fom red cups, he is towering over them as the salvator he is. Religious dipictual connotations?
Ownership of the news, the information. Marketing via poverty poverty as a commercial vessel. Unicef needs the poor Africans for the marketing of their product. Exploitation can be easily created or thought when given the right means. The photographer, the worker of the media, is the evil worki Know that you are a product and commercialise yourself. In the end Renzo brought light to the community, literally and figuratively. "experiencing your poverty brings me enlightenment, thank you" "njoy pvrty" reference to society.
Renzo is doing what he is critisizing himself ENJOY POVERTY
The act of killing
Glorification of the gangster Influence from western movies on the individuals idea of proper appearence Sadism and cruelty are synonims, taking pride in the cruelty that has been committed Not every truth is valid or has to go into the world The ridicule of the situation the stories of the communists depicted in the movie that they are making, the dancing. Also their own pride and mystification of the situations that they';re describing. business men workers party Killing makes you feel bad but you just have to find a good justification for it. We will reward you with gifts if you vote for us (while campaigning with the money that we got from extorting you) "Wes houldn't look brutal its bad for our organisations image" We were the law
The creation of an image for the outside world which would depict them differently or nicer better than they actually are. Is ths image based on their own ideology. Being free? Justification of ther acts. MAybe also through the iden

words of theministere of sport and blablabla - the scene we shot was terrifying - it introduces the furious side (our enemies should be scared)
He is taking in account what accually he is doing and the \consiquences of this
Firstly he remembered the nice and funny stuff and then extracted them in his stories and made them look good after the scenes are shot but afterwards he realizes
its going to be hell for you, but heaven on earth for me

Why in our economy charity is no longer the idiosyncrasy of some good guys, but its the basic constituent of our economy
in todays capitalism the tendency is to bring the two dimentsions together in the same cluster Charity is included in your buy Coffee ethics combining two opposites charity function now is keeping the poor alive
CHARITY DEGRADES AND IMMORALIZES
a better way to reconstruct society and exclude poverty from it
THE PRODUCT INCULDES THE OPPOSITE - A TRADE OF ON THE OTHER SIDE

poverty as a commodity is produced
poverty is the raw material for the market
poverty produces the market
- produces richness to afrika

a great contradiction about capitalisum and charity
- feeding a poor childe

charity is an unsustainable just another way of crowed sourcing
