{"product_id":"narrating-poverty-and-precarity-in-britain","title":"Narrating Poverty and Precarity in Britain","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoverty and precarity have gained a new societal and political presence in the twenty-first century's advanced economies. This is reflected in cultural production, which this book discusses for a wide range of media and genres from the novel to reality television. With a focus on Britain, its chapters divide their attention between current representations of poverty and important earlier narratives that have retained significant relevance today.\u003cbr\u003eThe book's contributions discuss the representation of social suffering with attention to agencies of enunciation, ethical implications of 'voice' and 'listening', limits of narratability, the pitfalls of sensationalism, voyeurism and sentimentalism, potentials and restrictions inherent in specific representational techniques, modes and genres; cultural markets for poverty and precarity. Overall, the book suggests that analysis of poverty narratives requires an intersection of theoretical reflection and a close reading of texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e; \u003cp\u003eCulture and conflict inevitably go hand in hand. The very idea of culture is marked by the notion of difference and by the creative, fraught interaction between conflicting concepts and values. The same can be said of all key ideas in the study of culture, such as identity and diversity, memory and trauma, the translation of cultures and globalization, dislocation and emplacement, mediation and exclusion. This series publishes theoretically informed original scholarship from the fields of literary and cultural studies as well as media, visual, and film studies. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialogue on the multiple ways in which conflict supports and constrains the production of meaning, on how conflict is represented, how it relates to the past and projects the present, and how it frames scholarship within the humanities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditors:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsabel Capeloa Gil\u003c\/strong\u003e, Catholic University of Portugal, Lisbon, Portugal; \u003cstrong\u003ePaulo de Medeiros\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Warwick, UK; \u003cstrong\u003eCatherine Nesci\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditorial Board:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eArjun Appadurai, New York University,\u003cbr\u003eClaudia Benthien, Universität Hamburg,\u003cbr\u003eElisabeth Bronfen, Universität Zürich,\u003cbr\u003eBishnupriya Ghosh, University of California, Santa Barbara,\u003cbr\u003eJoyce Goggin, Universiteit van Amsterdam,\u003cbr\u003eLawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,\u003cbr\u003eAndreas Huyssen, Columbia University,\u003cbr\u003eAnsgar Nünning, Universität Gießen,\u003cbr\u003eNaomi Segal, University of London, Birkbeck College,\u003cbr\u003eMárcio Seligmann-Silva, Universidade Estadual de Campinas,\u003cbr\u003eAntónio Sousa Ribeiro, Universidade de Coimbra,\u003cbr\u003eRoberto Vecchi, Universita di Bologna,\u003cbr\u003eSamuel Weber, Northwestern University,\u003cbr\u003eLiliane Weissberg, University of Pennsylvania,\u003cbr\u003eChristoph Wulf, FU Berlin,\u003cbr\u003eLongxi Zhang, City University of Hong Kong \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53942677176658,"sku":"9783110367935","price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_715a5b0b-92ed-49b2-b132-f874304f0ea4.jpg?v=1783403556","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/narrating-poverty-and-precarity-in-britain","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
