Global Finance on Screen is the first collection exclusively
dedicated to a growing body of multi-format and multimedia
audiovisual work that this book designates as the finance film.
Finance film provides critical visualizations of the secretive,
elitist, PR firewalled, and gender and race-biased world of
finance, and its mysterious characters, jargon and products. It
reconstructs for the screen and for broader audiences finance's
logics, responsibilities, practices, and ethos, and traces the
effects of money, markets, investment, credit, debt, bubbles, and
crashes on our well-being, desires, values, and actions. The
chapters for this interdisciplinary collection are written by
European and North American scholars in film studies, anthropology,
business ethics, cultural studies, political economy, and
sociology. They reveal and evaluate the ability of film to document
financial cultures; reflect economic, cultural and political
transformations related to financialization; indicate the
alienating and exploitative consequences of the growing role played
by financial services in the global economy; mobilize social action
against finance's excesses; as well as spread finance and
capitalist mythology. The collection offers in-depth investigations
of feature films such as Wall Street, Freefall, Margin Call,
Justice&Co, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The Big Short, and
documentaries such as Inside Job, Capitalism: A Love Story and In a
Strange Land.
