Resumen

This round table looks at three contemporary audiovisual texts set in the Post-Great Recession years by relying on the notion of the Gramcian interregnum. More specifically, the selected primary sources engage with, represent, and problematize how the multiple crises and fractures wrought by the Great Recession in North America have become chronified in the body politic and social fabric of Canada and the United States. The audiovisual texts analysed are the US miniseries Your Honor (Moffat 2020), the Canadian film The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (Tailfeathers and Hepburn 2019), and the US film The Assistant (Green 2019). Using the Gramscian interregnum as the core concept and bringing in some reading strategies typical of affect theory, the round table aims to discuss the post-Great Recession context as one where the conditions of the crisis have blended with social and political life.
