Raccontare l’invisibile : il cinema, il documentario e la Grande Recessione / C. Schiavini. - In: ACOMA. - ISSN 2421-423X. - 24:13(2017), pp. 215-233.
Abstract:
The essay investigates the representations of the Great Recession (the financial and economic crisis that started with the collapse of the Lehman Brothers) in American documentaries and docufiction movies of the last decade like American Casino (2009), Collapse (2009), Capitalism: A Love Story (2009), Inside Job (2010), All Watched Over by Machine of Loving Grace (2011) and The Big Short (2015). Moving at the intersection of economic and cultural studies, the essay focuses on the relation between crisis and language, and the strategies adopted by filmmakers to find a visual and linguistic grammar capable of staging the voids left by the crisis, both in material and in cultural terms.
