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. 410 0$aEdition Kulturwissenschaft 606 $aEconomy; Homo Economicus; Real Fiction; Neoliberalism; Great Britain; Reality; Europe; Brexit; Financial Crisis; Power; Culture; Cultural Studies; British Studies; Cultural Theory; Economic Theory; 607 $aGreat Britain$xEconomic conditions$y1997- 607 $aGrande-Bretagne$xConditions e?conomiques$y1997- 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 610 $aBrexit. 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aCultural Theory. 610 $aCulture. 610 $aEconomic Theory. 610 $aEurope. 610 $aFinancial Crisis. 610 $aGreat Britain. 610 $aHomo Economicus. 610 $aNeoliberalism. 610 $aPower. 610 $aReal Fiction. 610 $aReality. 615 4$aEconomy; Homo Economicus; Real Fiction; Neoliberalism; Great Britain; Reality; Europe; Brexit; Financial Crisis; Power; Culture; Cultural Studies; British Studies; Cultural Theory; Economic Theory; 676 $a330.0941 686 $aHD 402$2rvk 700 $aFischer$b Jessica$4auth$01071154 702 $aFischer$b Jessica$4edt 702 $aStedman$b Gesa$4edt 712 02$aHumboldt-Universität zu Berlin$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404115703321 996 $aImagined Economies - Real Fictions$93401996 997 $aUNINA
