This edited volume aims to question, problematize, and conceptualize the idea of the precarious in its diverse definitions and manifestations in the cinemas of the Americas by looking at its workings in the associated film cultures. By examining this idea in a wide array of case studies, from different national and/or regional contexts and film industries, this book exposes the multifaceted nature of the precarious. While often taken for granted, the notion of the precarious has not yet been considered as a focal point of interest in scholarly research on film. Dealing with this idea as a productive lens from which new readings on Latin American cinema can be articulated, this volume transcends historically arbitrary divides by including chapters on North American cinemas, as well as on Brazilian cinema, usually studied separately from that of the Spanish-speaking countries. Looking beyond the established delimitation of what constitutes Latin American cinema, this volume contributes to the discussion of the increasingly transnational nature of the industry.
