Bildeanalyse --> "Fengslet kjærlighet"

Bildet vi har tatt er av to hender som former et hjerte bak to jernstenger. Bakgrunnen er murveggen.

Temaet i bildet er fengslet kjærlighet, fordi hjertet symboliserer kjærlighet og de vertikale jernstengene symboliserer et fengsel. Bildet symboliserer også skjult kjærlighet, siden i noen land er det blant annet forbudt å vise kjærlighet mellom to menn. Da må de holde kjærligheten skjult og da blir den fengslet.  

Hjertetformen er ganske like sirkelformen, som fremstår som samlende i bildet.

De vertikale linjene symboliserer uro, spenning og usikkerhet, dette er med på å skape kontraster i bilde.

Vi brukte normalperspektiv for å få motivet til å framstå som det er. Normalperspektiv gir en nøytral synsvinkel for mottakeren av bilde. 

Dette er et stilleben bilde, fordi det er et oppstilt og abstrakt bilde.

Bildet er av et objekt og bakgrunnen/omgivelsene, men fokuset i bilde ligger på objektet.  

Tasks to the article «Looting ‘fuelled by social exclusion’»

• What is the difference between looting and rioting?

-          The definition of looting(plyndring) is taking or stealing things, but it’s not the same as stealing, it’s more like stealing things during war or after a natural catastrophe.

-          Rioting(opptøyer/opprør) is defined as a big disturbance of public peace.

-          More people participated in the lootings than in the riots, because it was somehow easier to take goods that were inside broken stores than breaking the stores yourself.

• Define the underlined (blue) words and phrases. Also note down other words you find difficult, and find out what they mean.

-          Social exclusion: Means that people are blocked from some opportunities that the rest of society have acces to, and that are essential in some social context

-          Disregard social terms: Do to something that is not expected from you, and is not socially accepted to just do.

-          High-unemployment: Big percent of people able to work do not have a job(10%?)

-          Criminologist: A researcher of crime, some kind of professor of crime.

-          Opportunism: The practice of taking selfish advantage of the circumstances, ex; looting demolished shops because the police can’t stop you.

-          Lack of intervention: To not have enough resources to do something about the situation, not being able to intervene.

-          Consumerism: The use and dispose society.

-          Catalyst of unrest: A person or thing that precipitates an event or change.

• Could this happen in Trondheim? In Oslo? Why/why not?

-          I don’t think this would happen in Trondheim beacause this happenings are results of cultural and social conditions and class distinction in Great Britain. The differences between people in UK are much larger than in Norway, and I think the unemployed rates are much higher in Britain.

-           

• What can this say about the social conditions in England? How may this be connected to the traditional class system?

-          The reasons to why this could happen is because some parts of the class system feel undermined by the rest, and there’s also some understanding that the upperclass and the stores they broke had more money than themselves and they were able to afford it, some way of justifying the riots and the looting. It was a big demonstration and anger and frustration, and a demonstration against the British government. They wanted the attention in their case and they wanted the government to hear them saying “something has to change”.
