• Resumen

  • Judith Butler define la precariedad como un «politically induced condition in which certain populations suffer from failing social and economic networks of support (Butler 2009, ii)». Burucúa y Sitnisky desarrollan más el concepto de lo precario: «Dealing with this idea as a productive lens, this volume seeks to question, problematize, and conceptualize its diverse definitions and manifestations in the cinemas and diverse film cultures of the Americas. [...]by looking at its workings and examining this concept in a wide array of case studies, the book will expose the multilayered and, in our view, productive nature of the precarious.» Inspiradas por la metodología de Judith Butler, las editoras identifican dos elementos esenciales en el entendimiento de lo precario, «whereas precarity 'designates [a] politically induced condition,' (Butler 2009, 25) precariousness 'implies living socially, that is, the fact that one's life is always in some sense in the hands of the other.'
