Overview
The nutmeg-grater seller whom Prizel writes about uses what she calls his disability to make his poverty deserving: he is upright though on his knees (he cannot stand); he engages us with dignity, looking straight ahead, but not at the camera. Because he does not beg, but rather offers nutmeg graters for sale on his deformed arms, he performs the deservedness necessary to a political economy in which charity is based on a strict moral calculus, although profit is not. Prizel left the image of the nutmeg-grater seller up on the screen for a large part of her talk: we had to contend with him, to look at his knee pads, lovely hair, fine-featured face, and shriveled arms.
