Description de l'ouvrage :
A theoretical, interdisciplinary reading of French film and literary texts inspired by the 2008 global financial crisis
• Draws on ideas by Peter Szendy, Yves Citton, Jonathan Beller and Christophe Hanna to theorise the derivative as a metaphor for thinking about the nature of contemporary audio-visual images
• Cuts across medial boundaries to analyse works by Sophie Bruneau, Paul Grivas, Jérôme Kerviel, Mathieu Larnaudie, Frédéric Lordon, Anna Malagrida, Société Réaliste and others
• Shows how such French-language writers, artists and filmmakers engage with the financial mechanisms at the heart of the 2008 crash in order to put them into images
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 Effondrés (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.
Drawing on ideas from thinkers such as Jonathan Beller, Yves Citton and Peter Szendy, this book shows how derivatives can be taken as a conceptual resource for thinking about creative practice and the circulation of audio-visual images today.
À propos de l'auteur :
Calum Watt is a European Project Officer at Université Paris Nanterre and an Associate Researcher at the Institut de recherche sur le cinéma et l’audiovisuel (IRCAV) at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.

Revue de Presse :
If finance has become the interdisciplinary object above all others, then Calum Watt’s splendidly original book offers the reader an exemplary route through the points at which financial derivatives and artistic creation meet. Derivative images - in film, literature, theatre, and philosophy - allow us to reimagine effectively our post-crash world.
