Cultural Life of Money and Finance 11: Money and the informal economy in Italy, with Isabella Clough Marinaro
The Cultural Life of Money and Finance podcast explores money and finance through the arts and humanities – asking new questions about finance, the global financial system, and financial behaviour in the twenty-first century. In a series of conversations with researchers and practitioners, we look at how money is being, and has been, thought about in different contexts – across historical, cultural, ethical, religious, social, and material settings.
The Cultural Life of Money and Finance project is based at the University of Leeds, and is led by Matthew Treherne, Rachel Muers and Mark Davis. The project is supported by the Leeds Arts and Humanities Research Institute, and by the Leeds Creative Labs scheme at the Cultural Institute at the University of Leeds.
In this episode, Matthew is joined by Isabella Clough Marinaro (John Cabot University), to discuss her work on money in the informal economy in Italy, especially in Rome. Isabella discusses issues relating to the importance of cash in the informal economy, the functions of formal and informal credit, the way in which financial practices in the informal economy affect experiences of time and temporality, and the relationship between money and shame.
Isabella Clough Marinaro is Associate Professor of Italian Studies at John Cabot University in Rome. For more information on her work, see https://www.johncabot.edu/faculty/isabella-clough_marinaro.

Cultural Life of Money and Finance 10: Katy Shaw on the credit crunch in contemporary culture
The Cultural Life of Money and Finance podcast explores money and finance through the arts and humanities – asking new questions about finance, the global financial system, and financial behaviour in the twenty-first century. In a series of conversations with researchers and practitioners, we look at how money is being, and has been, thought about in different contexts – across historical, cultural, ethical, religious, social, and material settings.

In this episode, Mark is joined by Katy Shaw, Professor of Contemporary Writings at Northumbria University in the UK, and they discuss her work on the credit crunch in contemporary culture. The podcast covers the idea that the entire financial system is a form of fiction; tackles the important issue of the public’s financial literacy; explores the gendered regime of finance; and makes a passionate case for the arts and humanities to work more closely with economics and social sciences to explore fully the cultural life of money and finance.
Katy’s research interests include contemporary literature, especially working class literature, cultural representations of post-industrial regeneration, and the languages of comedy. An expert in twenty-first-century literature, Katy has produced two books on the crime author David Peace, a 2015 monograph on representations of the Credit Crunch in contemporary culture, and a collection on the teaching of twenty-first-century genre fiction. Her 2018 book Hauntology explored the persistent role of the past in the present of contemporary English Literature.
