representing labor in late- and post-Soviet culture

[Elena Gapova]

Rossen,

I can think of several movies that might work.
**
*"Modern Times"* with Chaplin (I teach Marx's theory of alienation with
this movie).

The 1940 film *They Drove by Night* about a truck driver struggling to
become economically independent during the Great Depression.

*White Line Fever* (1975) about a (Vietnam veteran) truck driver.

The third season of  *Ice Road
Truckers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Road_Truckers>
* (2009), documenting the lives of truck drivers working  in Alaska.

*Real Women Have Curves* (2002) about Mexican-American women working in
near sweat-shop conditions.

*Office,* of course (on the irrationality of rational office work).
