Blog Prompt #4: Gleaning, Feminist Bricolage, & Agnès Varda

By 9 pm on Wednesday June 16th, please post a 600-word response to the following prompt:

In the context of her film The Gleaners and I, what does Agnès Varda mean by "gleaning"? What are the various forms of gleaning that she addresses in her film? How does she link the politics of waste (what gets labelled as waste, by whom, to what effect, etc.) to a critique of the valuation (or devaluation) of gendered bodies in contemporary culture?

Remember to link to or embed a minimum of 1 image, video, website, blog, or other visual cultural production that you see relating to this week's blog prompt and course topics.
