<p><b><i>Geographies of Social Exclusion in Contemporary Portuguese Urban Film </i>explores the dynamics of social exclusion in contemporary Portugal as depicted by Portuguese filmmakers. </b> </p><p>Focusing on questions of urban space, particular attention is paid to peripheral spaces, domestic spaces, and workspaces as portrayed in the works of Portuguese filmmakers Pedro Costa, João Canijo, João Salaviza, Marco Martins, and Pedro Pinho. This book offers a unique reading of Portuguese film through the lenses of geography and cultural studies, analyzing the concepts of social invisibility, social mobility, and precarity in contemporary Portugal, with entrapment being a key notion. Ultimately, studies of Portuguese film are brought into dialogue with the geographies of Portuguese cities-mainly Lisbon and Oporto-and the ways in which Portuguese filmmakers portray issues of social invisibility through the aforementioned spaces.</p>
