This is reflected in cultural production, which this book discusses for a wide range of media and genres from the novel to reality television. With a focus on Britain, its chapters divide their attention between current representations of poverty and important earlier narratives that have retained significant relevance today.The book's contributions discuss the representation of social suffering with attention to agencies of enunciation, ethical implications of 'voice' and 'listening', limits of narratability, the pitfalls of sensationalism, voyeurism and sentimentalism, potentials and restrictions inherent in specific representational techniques, modes and genres; cultural markets for poverty and precarity. Overall, the book suggests that analysis of poverty narratives requires an intersection of theoretical reflection and a close reading of texts. 410 0$aCulture & conflict ;$vVolume 5. 606 $aPoverty in literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aSocial problems in literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism$zGreat Britain 610 $aPoverty. 610 $aliterature, precarity, social suffering. 615 0$aPoverty in literature 615 0$aSocial problems in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism 676 $a809.933556 686 $aHG 434$2rvk 702 $aKorte$b Barbara 702 $aRegard$b Fre?de?ric 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815917003321 996 $aNarrating poverty and precarity in Britain$91499378 997 $aUNINA
