Derivative Images: Financial Derivatives in French Film, Literature and Thought

by Calum Watt

Focused on French cultural responses to the 2008 global financial crisis in cinema, literature and theory, Derivative Images offers detailed analyses of post-2008 French-language works, including Les Effondr s (2010), Le Grand Retournement (2013) and L'Outsider (2016), to show how they appropriate and reconfigure notions at the heart of the crisis, such as derivatives, financial trading and markets.
