Historical Consciousness,Multiple Economic Subjects,and a Turn to Economic Hu-manities:A Review of The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Economics
After years of rise and development in the 21st century,economic literary criticism has mainly examined economic representations of literature and literary rhetoric of econom-ics to explore conceptual paradigms and material realities in relation to economic language.Edited by Professor Paul Crosthwaite and others,The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Economics(2022)is one of the latest research achievements in this critical field.Ana-lyzing the relationships between literature and economics,the tensions between literary and economic discourses,the heterogeneous and diverse economic subjects,and the interdisciplin-ary imaginations of economic humanities,it demonstrates historical consciousness,multiple subjects,and the shift towards economic humanities,broadening the research perspectives of economic literary criticism.Economic humanities aim to construct an equal dialogue between literature and economics,enrich each discipline's theoretical discourses,and enhance people's cognitions and imaginings of social economic life.
