While many discussions of the economic crisis of 2007-2008 have
sought to explain the causes of the financial collapse, this volume
looks to supplement these accounts by exploring possible
alternatives for the post-crisis world in which we now live.
However, rather than offering a strictly economic approach,
Cultural Studies and Finance Capitalism argues that the crisis was
as much cultural as economic, and that any way forward must
understand the complex relationship between media, culture and the
economy. The chapters in this volume deal with a wide range of
themes including celebrity culture, media coverage of the economy,
examinations of economic theory and financial markets. They bring
together research that combines an historical perspective with a
view towards the future of critical cultural and political
analysis. In a period marked by anxiety and economic austerity,
this volume offers the reader tools for understanding the place and
importance of cultural research in the post-crisis era. This book
was originally published as a special issue of the journal Cultural
Studies.
