[Commlist] New Book: Mapping Precarity

Francesco Sticchi is very happy to announce the release of my new monograph:
Mapping Precarity in Contemporary Cinema and Television - Chronotopes of 
Anxiety, Depression, Expulsion/Extinction | Francesco Sticchi | Palgrave 
Macmillan <https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030632601>

"This book examines a corpus of films and TV series released since the 
global financial crisis, addressing them as emblematic expressions of 
our age of precarity. The analysis of the motifs and characters of these 
case studies is built around notions originating from Mikhail Bakhtin’s 
literary theory and, in particular, the concept of chronotope, affirming 
the material and dynamic connection between form and content in artistic 
experience. This book observes how precarious lives are enacted in forms 
of spatio-temporal compositions which carry conceptual and ethical 
challenges for their viewers. The text falls within the film-philosophy 
framework and, although primarily directed to an academic audience, it 
provides an interdisciplinary account of the notion of cinematic 
precarity. It puts the embodied analysis of viewers’ ethical 
participation in close dialogical relationship with a philosophical and 
sociological examination of current dynamics of inequality and exclusion"
