It compares how the filmic traditions of different countries reflect the socioeconomic conditions associated with precarity, and illuminates similarities in the iconography of precarious lives across cultures. While some of the contributions deal with the representations of marginalized minorities, others focus on work-related precarity or the depictions of downward mobility. Among other topics, the volume looks at how films grapple with gender inequality, intersectional struggle, discriminatory housing policies, and the specific problems of precarious youth. With its comparative approach to filmic representations of European precarity, this volume makes a major contribution to scholarship on precarity and the representation of social class in contemporary visual culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWatch our book talk with the editors Elisa Cuter, Guido Kirsten and Hanna Prenzel here: https: \/\/youtu.be\/lKpD1NFAx2o\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111355719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Elisa Cuter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52472878858421,"sku":"9783111355719","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_007de3c3-a096-4774-8525-a7275de564cd.jpg?v=1777444635","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/precarity-in-european-film-depictions-and-discourses-9783111355719","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
