Everybody Should Suffer as I Do

The book tackles cinematic narratives as integral components of the current economy. Against classical differentiation between infra- and super-structure, the text describes contemporary films and TV series as deeply organic to the definition of current subjectivities. In this sense, the case studies discussed are observed in their contribution to spread and give a body to affects such as negative solidarity, which both define the end of neoliberal " utopianism" and its revelation as despotic and hierachical project. However, cinematic affects are deeply dynamic and informed by processes tied to a moving ecology; instances of nihilistic negativity, then, may also turn into renewed insurrectional desires.
