Financialization must be analyzed together with textual form, not as an external business constraint

Evidence

A specific attention to mise-en-synergy highlights both textual and financial phenomena, interlocking processes that inform ­strategies of representation as well as structures of financialization. This ­mise-en-synergy should be seen not (just) as a crass business decision, but as an integral part of the canvas upon which contemporary cultural texts paint their commercial art. — Andrew deWaard, Derivative Media, 383

• XREF: This is the book’s central methodological claim — the merger of representation strategies and financial structures — which the reader is explicitly testing.
