Series Statement:
Topographies of (post)modernity : studies in 20th and 21st century literature in English
Content:
Crisis defines the present cultural moment. From the environment, through migration, to democracy, a continuous state of emergency engulfs us - so much so that crisis appears to be one of the few things not in crisis. This volume focuses on two instances of this overwhelming trend: the latest masculinity crisis and what helped trigger it - the 2008 global financial crash. Looking at selected American cinematic texts of culture from the subsequent ten years, depicting both the causes of the crash and its victims, the volume offers answers to the questions: how has (popular) culture, in particular literature and film, responded to the greatest economic upheaval since the Great Depression, and what conclusions can be drawn from this response?
