-this project is under development-
This project is being developed by Tudor Balinisteanu (PhD English Literature)
The project is currently hosted here but will be moved to its own domain in due course

Project Description:
This project aims to connect modernist texts with economic concepts in transnational perspective. It responds to a need to reassess the contribution of literature to our interconnected forms of social and material life. Once fully developed, it will provide resources to scholars interested in exploring the connection between literature and economic materialism. On the one hand, the project invites reflection on literature as a market form itself; on the other it invites explorations of the ways in which literature engenders forms of social performativity and agency that contribute materially to society, and can therefore be studied in the framework of economic theory.

You can enter the site via three links:

Authors
Criticism connecting texts and economic theory
Economic Theory/ Concepts

The material on each of these three pages is cross-referenced.

Contributions to the site are invited, and will be acknowledged on the page where they are placed.

You can:

• submit material for the Criticism section or suggest relevant quotations
• suggest material for the Authors section (the copyright for these materials should have expired, or the material should be a short excerpt)
• Suggest a relevant concept or theoretical perspective for the section on Economic Theory/ Concepts, or various definitions for those concepts
