Abstracts

EN

This article draws an outline of a cultural science based understanding of the current European debt crisis, mainly based on Christina von Braun’s cultural studies on money and some basic elements of psychoanalytic theory. It deals with the historical link between money and physical sacrifice and discusses possible reasons for feelings of fear and for European scepticism, caused by the debt crisis.
