Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scholars have explored the relationship between economics and culture for centuries, but recent developments in this critical arena offer the opportunity to address anew some timely questions:
- How have economic processes functioned as plot devices, symbolic motifs, or complex metaphors in cultural production?
- How have the sprawling, uneven international markets for books, music, film, and more influenced cultural production, reception, and consumption?
- How have cultural productions, conversely, influenced economic narratives, and/or depictions of economic states in the popular imagination?
- What is the relationship between economic and literary/cultural scholarship, and what can they gain from dialogue with one another?
Please send abstracts of approximately 500 words by 31 October 2024 to Gayle Rogers at [email protected]. Essays will be commissioned and full manuscripts will be due approximately 31 January 2025. Peer review and publication process will follow.
Prof. Dr. Gayle Rogers
Guest Editor
