The ubiquitous »cultural turn« of the 1990s did not spare the thinkers
of economics - however, at the same time, economic topics have gained a
new importance in cultural studies. This volume focuses on cultures of
economy in regions of former Yugoslavia as part of South-Eastern Europe,
supported by theoretical perspectives. It examines narratives and
poetics of economy in literature, film, and art, as well as in public
discourse. The contributors spotlight different historical periods: the
late 19th and the early 20th centuries, Socialist Yugoslavia and the
transitional and neoliberal period since the 1990s.
