vls/2603nrwcece.visuallibrary.netvdEconomic science fictionsDavies, WilliamedtHerausgebertextbookLondonGoldsmiths Press20182018monographicengxiv, 383 Seiten ; 21 cmIllustrationen"Economics and science fiction rarely have much to do with each other. As a discipline, economics is far removed from creative writing. Science fiction arguably tells us little about the reality of day-to-day capitalism. Economic Science Fictions challenges and changes that. By treating our economy as a series of 'fictions' - stories and expectations regarding the future - and treating science fiction-writing as a means of anticipating different economic futures, this book offers various imaginative and surprising new syntheses. It brings together social science with fiction-writing; critique of everyday economic life with visions of alternatives; design with politics; utopias with dystopias; and academic scholarship with new styles of writing. Rooted in a sense that contemporary 'economic reality' is no longer working and no longer credible, it explores how we might draw on imagination and the inherent uncertainty of the future, both to revitalise economic thinking, and to re-imagine the present. This book will appeal to those working in cultural studies, creative writing, sociology, political economy and history of economic thought. Above all, it provides fresh and unusual perspectives for anyone who believes that the economy is too important to be left to the dry technicalities of economics" --edited by William DaviesIncludes bibliographical references and index|HB3730HBZHT020891672978-1-90689-768-0978190689774197819068977349781906897727HT020891672Goldsmiths Press PERC seriesOnline-Ausgabe978190689774146631PII24592021040720210730PII2459rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DPII2459 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1103886 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1103886/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1103886
