Speculative Fictions - Chilean Culture, Economics, and the Neoliberal Transition

Examines the Chilean neoliberal transition as reflected in cultural production from the post-dictatorship era of the 1970s to the present. To Alessandro Fornazzari, the move to market capitalism effectively blurred the lines between economics and aesthetics. Through exemplary works of film, literature, the visual arts, testimonials, and cultural theory, Fornazzari reveals the influence of economics over nearly every aspect of culture and society.
