Abstract

V originále

In my paper, I aspire to discuss the literary responses to the phenomenon of the economic crisis that erupted in 2008. In that sense, I explore literary representations of “Economy”, “Power”, “Europe” and “Work” in times of austerity, discussing them in the wider context of dystopian fiction and the theory of totalitarianism.
