The book examines the portrayal of the Global Financial Crisis in contemporary popular culture, focusing on urban spaces and aesthetics in films, literature, and photography. It investigates the connection between cities and finance, analyzing the ideologies communicated through urban crisis narratives. By interpreting these narratives through the lens of myth, it draws from various academic disciplines to provide fresh insights into the politics of financial crisis representations. Additionally, it questions how these imaginaries influence perceptions of the crisis and its broader implications in the context of financialization.
