Develops important insights into the politics of contemporary cinema and cinematic responses to the Crisis
Looking Beyond Neoliberalism explores how cinema is responding to the economic crisis that sprang to public attention in 2008 and continues to shape our politics and societies. Bringing French and francophone Belgian films into dialogue with carefully selected theories, O’Shaughnessy develops insights and an analytical framework that will become important resources for other scholars of contemporary cinema.
This book explores cinema's capacity to register mutations in subjectivity, the material grounds for identity construction and the machinic dimension of neoliberal subjection. It also probes its capacity to imagine alternative economies and identities and an exit from neoliberal labour. By developing fresh insights into political cinema, this book provides engages with cinema’s response to neoliberalism in crisis.
