THE CULTURAL LIFE OF CAPITALISM IN YUGOSLAVIA G...

This edited volume explores the cultural life of capitalism during socialist and post-socialist
times within the geopolitical context of the former Yugoslavia. Through a variety of cutting
edge essays at the intersections of critical cultural studies  material culture  visual culture
neo-Marxist theories and situated critiques of neoliberalism  the volume rethinks the
relationship between capitalism and socialism. Rather than treating capitalism and socialism as
mutually exclusive systems of political  social and economic order  the volume puts forth the
idea that in the context of the former Yugoslavia  they are marked by a mutually intertwined
existence not only on the economic level  but also on the level of cultural production and
consumption. It argues that culture-although very often treated as secondary in the analyses of
either socialism  capitalism or their relationship-has an important role in defining 
negotiating  and resisting the social  political and economic values of both systems.
