With contributions by experts in American, British, French, German and Swedish culture, this book examines how literature has shaped the understanding of socio-economic precarity, a concept that is mostly used to describe living and working conditions in our contemporary neoliberal and platform economy. This volume shows that authors tried to develop new poetic tools and literary techniques to translate the experience of social regression and insecurity to readers. While some authors critically engage with normative models of work by zooming in on the physical and affective backlash of being a precarious worker, others even find inspiration in their own situations as writers trying to survive. Furthermore, this volume shows that precarity is not an exclusively contemporary phenomenon and that literature has always been a central medium to (critically) register forms of social insecurity. By retrieving parts of that archive, this volume paves the way to a historically nuanced view on contemporary regimes of precarious work. 001441474 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 14, 2022). 001441474 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001441474 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001441474 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$y21st century$$xHistory and criticism. 001441474 650_0 $$aPrecarious employment in literature. 001441474 650_6 $$aLittérature$$y19e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001441474 650_6 $$aLittérature$$y20e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001441474 650_6 $$aLittérature$$y21e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001441474 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001441474 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441474 7001_ $$aRys, Michiel,$$eeditor. 001441474 7001_ $$aPhilipsen, Bart,$$eeditor. 001441474 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030881733$$z9783030881733$$w(OCoLC)1266253201 001441474 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in literature, culture and economics. 001441474 852__ $$bebk 001441474 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-88174-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441474 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441474$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441474 980__ $$aBIB 001441474 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441474 982__ $$aEbook 001441474 983__ $$aOnline 001441474 994__ $$a92$$bISE
