Description

Reshapes the narrative and its trajectory in how the working class is discussed in relation to British Cinema Considers classed identities beyond the confines of social realism Navigates between historical and contemporary cinema narratives and aesthetics Illuminates the epistemic dimensions of working-class political struggle through the specificities of distinct places Utilises film and the study of film to make connections between politics, classed experience public life and larger social issues In recent years British cinema has utilised the iconic image of the council estate as an emblematic shorthand for defining the supposedly dysfunctional character of the working-class people who reside there. As a spatial determinant, it has come to signify a whole group of people in the popular imaginary as anti-social, violent and workshy. Drawing on the latest research into class and British cinema, the chapters in this edited collection explore classed identities in relation to the spaces which they occupy, both onscreen and off. The chapters in this collection shift the spatial location of the working class away from the council estates in which they are visually and symbolically contained to explore alternative spaces where their complexities, struggles and resistance to the systemic cultural and political discourses that define them can be foregrounded.
