Precarity and the Moving Image

Abstract

The following introduction to the Special Issue addresses the problematic definition of the notion of precarity by highlighting its multifaceted value and possible interpretation in relation to the moving image. It also aims, at the same time, to show some directions in which, in accordance with the work of many scholars, it is possible to come with effective transversal modes of adopting and applying the concept. In this sense, the introduction also shows how the various papers of the Special Issue are capable to contribute to this understanding in unique and productive ways.
