Cinema frequently depicts various types of work, but this
representation is never straightforward. It depends on and reflects
many factors, most importantly the place and time the film is made
and the type of audience it addresses. In this volume, the
contributors employ transnational and transhistorical perspectives
to compare films from different countries, periods, and genres.
Rather than prescribe a specific meaning of work, the collection
explores its fuzzy edges, including sex work, criminal work,
situations where the jobs' purpose is to reduce work, and other
marginal types of labor. The contributors draw attention to the
paradox that although there is seemingly less work to be done now
than it was in the past, the central role of work in human life has
not been challenged: it is seen as the human condition.
