Precarity in European Film: Depictions and Discourses, Edited by Elisa Cuter, Guido Kirsten, and Hanna Prenzel, Berlin: De Gruyter, 2022, pp. 374

Eduard Cuelenaere is postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Communication Sciences at Ghent University and visiting professor at both the Free University of Brussels and the University of Antwerp. He is affiliated with the research groups CIMS (Centre for Cinema and Media Studies) and ECHO (Media, Culture and Politics). As a film scholar, he is particularly interested in how the growing phenomenon of recycling content (film remakes, sequels, ...) reflects the evolving state of film cultures (e.g., in terms of its diversity) and industries within the realm of (streaming) European cinema. Exploring the intricate relationship between the audiovisual industry, society, and culture, he employs an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from film studies, audience studies, cultural studies, and (critical) media industry studies.
