This edited volume explores the cultural life of capitalism during
socialist and post-socialist times within the geopolitical context
of the former Yugoslavia. Through a variety of cutting edge essays
at the intersections of critical cultural studies, material
culture, visual culture, neo-Marxist theories and situated
critiques of neoliberalism, the volume rethinks the relationship
between capitalism and socialism. Rather than treating capitalism
and socialism as mutually exclusive systems of political, social
and economic order, the volume puts forth the idea that in the
context of the former Yugoslavia, they are marked by a mutually
intertwined existence not only on the economic level, but also on
the level of cultural production and consumption. It argues that
culture-although very often treated as secondary in the analyses of
either socialism, capitalism or their relationship-has an important
role in defining, negotiating, and resisting the social, political
and economic values of both systems.
