SUMMARY:Reading\, Wanting and Broken Economics: with Dr Simon Frost
DESCRIPTION:An Interview with Dr Simon Frost\n\n\n\nDr Simon Frost\, Principal Academic in English at Bournemouth University and author of Reading\, Wanting\, and Broken Economics: A Twenty-First-Century Study of Readers and Bookshops in Southampton around 1900 (SUNY Press\, 2021) part of SUNY\, speaks with Dr Eben Muse (the Stephen Colclough Centre for the History and Culture of the Book) about the cultural and economic place of bookstores\, the shifting relationship between economics and literature\, and books as material\, commodified\, and contested objects of economic exchange. \n\n\n\nCombining historical study\, theorization\, and experimental fiction\, this book takes commodity culture and book retail around 1900 as the prime example of a market of symbolic goods. With the port of Southampton\, England\, as his case study\, Simon R. Frost reveals how the city’s bookshops\, with their combinations of libraries\, haberdashery\, stationery\, and books\, sustained and were sustained by the dreams of ordinary readers\, and how together they created the values powering this market. The goods in this market were symbolic and were not “consumed” but read. Their readings were created between other readers and texts\, in happy disobedience to the neoliberal laws of the free market. Today such reader-created social markets comprise much of the world’s branded economies\, which is why Frost calls for a new understanding of both literary and market values.
