Austerity is a political project with far-reaching consequences for those countries in which such measures are adopted. Rather than defining it as mere economic measures, the international and interdisciplinary Berlin-Britain Research Network understands austerity as a cultural and political construct with an impact in many different areas of society.
This conference will explore the relation between agency and austerity and look at ways in which agency is restricted in legal, social, cultural and political terms. Since austerity is a complex phenomenon which cannot be looked at from one discipline only, we have invited keynote speakers from different disciplines and in particular we have chosen speakers who tend to work across disciplinary borders.
Prof Mike Savage and Dr Rebecca Bramall both share an interest in culture, sociology and economics. Our speakers with a legal or political science background will add further perspectives on the issue. Speakers from Germany or with a German research focus will provide a comparative angle and the cultural studies group sheds light on the way in which austerity is constructed, represented and narrated in artistic practice and in the media.
