- Inhalt
- In the 1990s, the influential cross-disciplinary field of New Economic Criticism emerged as a response to the political economy of the 1980s. It investigates the contact points of literature and economics with a particular focus on the wider economic, social, and political contexts of literature. The 2007/2008 financial crisis has brought economics – once more – to close and often uncomfortable attention, be it with regard to financial speculation, consumer culture or austerity politics. In view of the omnipresence of neoliberalism and as a reaction to globalisation, digitalisation, and automation, the pre-eminence of economic frameworks in public debates has made the economy a prominent subject matter for authors and literary studies scholars alike. In British novels of the last decade, repercussions have become evident in the new genre of “Crunch Lit” which shows a critical awareness of the causes and consequences of the financial crisis. Many debates about the state of late capitalism in the 21st century hark back to those of the 19th century and draw on traditions shaped by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope who represent money, finance, and economics as central to their plots and character designs. In this research-based seminar, students will explore various relations between the economy and literature as well as approaches of literary economics by analysing an exemplary literary text of their own choice.
