Capitalism: Current Crisis and Cultural Critique

Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research is launching its sixth annual volume with a grand issue on “Capitalism: Current Crisis and Cultural Critique”. The thematic section is edited by Johan Fornäs and offers a rich and comprehensive analysis of the present economic order, with a full-length editorial introduction. In thirteen articles a number of renowned academics discuss the (un-)sustainability of the current mode of capitalist production, against the backdrop of the recent economic crisis and in the light of cultural and social theory. Subjects of the different articles range from Marxist perspectives on contemporary financial capitalism to the constriction of neoliberal subjectivity and working conditions in the creative industries.
