The Global Financial Crisis has radically changed the cultural landscape in the countries hit the hardest. Those countries include Spain and Greece, whose shared experience of the crisis reaches far beyond their similar-looking statistics. Both of these countries have seen a comparable efflorescence of cultural production and political engagement (especially in the form of the new populist parties Podemos and SYRIZA) born of the new economic and social realities. Although the Social Science disciplines may seem the most logical to account for the political and economic fallout of the 2008 crash, scholars in the Humanities are increasingly contributing to debates about economic crisis and political renewal, in scholarly and popular writings, news media, and activism.
In this one-day event, invited speakers and Brown faculty will explore how the Humanities can respond to economic crisis and political change, bringing Humanists and Social Scientists into a more substantive and timely two-way dialogue.
