Through a meticulous analysis of the motifs and characters within these case studies, the book draws upon notions originating from Mikhail Bakhtin's literary theory, particularly the concept of chronotope, to establish a profound connection between form and content in artistic experience. By closely examining the ways in which precarious lives are enacted through spatio-temporal compositions, the book poses conceptual and ethical challenges for its viewers. Positioned within the realm of film-philosophy, this work aims to appeal to an academic audience while offering an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept of cinematic precarity. It fosters a dialogue between embodied viewer analysis and a philosophical and sociological examination of the current dynamics of inequality and exclusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores a corpus of films and TV series released since the global financial crisis, examining them as emblematic expressions of our age of precarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of the motifs and characters in these case studies is centered around notions derived from Mikhail Bakhtin's literary theory, with a particular focus on the concept of chronotope.
