It might even be said that much of the emergence of a distinctly modern art in the West is inextricably linked to the perception of art's own autonomy and, therefore, its privileged, mostly critical, gaze at the terrible mixture of wonder and horror of capitalist economic practices and institutions. The premise of this collection is that despite this perceptual sharing, sublime economy has yet to be investigated in a purely cross-disciplinary way. Sublime Economy seeks to map this critical territory by exploring the ways diverse concepts of economy and economic value have been culturally constituted and disseminated through modern art and cultural practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprising of 14 individual essays along with an editors' introduction, Sublime Economy draws together work from some of the leading scholars in the several fiel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction.
