Produktbeschreibung
Contemporary culture not merely reflects ongoing societal transformations, it shapes our understanding of rapidly evolving class realities. Literature, theatre, and film urge us to put the question of class back on the agenda, and reconceptualise it through the lens of precarity and intersectionality. Relying on examples from British, French, Spanish, German, American, Swedish and Taiwanese culture, the contributors to this book document a variety of aesthetic strategies in an interdisciplinary dialogue with sociology and political theory. Doing so, this volume demonstrates the myriad ways in which culture opens up new pathways to imagine and re-imagine class as an economic relation, an identity category, and a subjective experience. Situated firmly within current debates about the impact of social mobility, precarious work, intersectional structures of exploitation, and interspecies vulnerability, this volume offers a wide-ranging analysis of contemporary class imaginaries. Michiel Rys is postdoctoral researcher of the FWO in the Research Unit of Literary Studies and Cultural Studies at KU Leuven. Liesbeth François is teaching associate in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at the University of Cambridge, and fellow in Spanish at Downing College.
