Abstract

In this article, the authors revisit an argument made in a 2019 article, suggesting that not much has changed in the representational field, or the ‘narrative economies’ (Gibbs and Lehtonen 2019), within which the film I, Daniel Blake was originally released - despite the ongoing Covid-19 crisis and the intensification of both existing and new forms of precarity and poverty in the intervening years.
