The alarm and anxiety unleashed by the Great Recession found
fascinating expression across popular culture. Harried survivors
negotiated societal collapse in The Walking Dead. Middle-class
whites crossed the literal and metaphorical Mexican border on
Breaking Bad or coped with a lack of freedom among the marginalized
on Orange Is the New Black. Camilla Fojas uses representations of
people of color, the incarcerated, and trans/queers--vulnerable
populations all--to work through the contradictions created by the
economic crisis and its freefalling aftermath. Television, film,
advertising, and media coverage of the crisis created a distinct
kind of story about capitalism and the violence that supports it.
Fojas shows how these pop culture moments reshaped social dynamics
and people's economic sensibilities and connects the ways pop
culture reflected economic devastation. She also examines how these
artifacts illuminated parts of society usually kept off-screen or
on the margins even as they defaulted to stories of white
protagonists.
