The contributions to this anthology take debates about the financial crisis, about recent austerity measures or about the Brexit referendum a step further. A common denominator of these dynamics are underlying ideas of »the economy«. Each author identifies a facet of Britain's imagined economies. They connect seemingly separate fields such as finance and fiction in order to better understand current political changes. In addition, the book offers an urgently needed interdisciplinary view on the performative power of economic thought - and in this respect moves far beyond merely British perspectives.Edition Kulturwissenschaft Economy; Homo Economicus; Real Fiction; Neoliberalism; Great Britain; Reality; Europe; Brexit; Financial Crisis; Power; Culture; Cultural Studies; British Studies; Cultural Theory; Economic Theory;Great BritainEconomic conditions1997-Grande-BretagneConditions économiques1997-Great BritainfastBrexit.British Studies.Cultural Studies.Cultural Theory.Culture.Economic Theory.Europe.Financial Crisis.Great Britain.Homo Economicus.Neoliberalism.Power.Real Fiction.Reality.Economy; Homo Economicus; Real Fiction; Neoliberalism; Great Britain; Reality; Europe; Brexit; Financial Crisis; Power; Culture; Cultural Studies; British Studies; Cultural Theory; Economic Theory;330.0941HD 402rvkFischer Jessicaauth1071154Fischer JessicaedtStedman GesaedtHumboldt-Universität zu Berlinfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996359646003316Imagined Economies - Real Fictions3401996UNISA
