Abstract
Precarity extends beyond the expression of an economic condition to indicate an entire ‘affective environment’, a sense of individualised insecurity, and the loss of social and existential status—consider, for example, Sianne Ngai’s discussion of envy, anxiety, irritation, resentment and paranoia in Ugly Feelings (2007), Guy Standing’s emphasis on the precariat’s anger, anomie, anxiety and alienation in The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class (2011), and Lauren Berlant’s analysis of ‘post-Fordist affect’, the affective language of anxiety, contingency and precarity in Cruel Optimism (2011). Featuring characters cut off from futurity, and often articulating impasse, the cinema of precarity explores social problems like unemployment, labor unrest, class conflicts and our various adjustment strategies to neoliberalism’s extension of economic logic to non-economic areas of life.
