Affective Economies of the Global Event ― Trauma and the Resilient Market Subject
商品資訊
商品簡介
Life in the financial markets is punctuated by global events and market subjects are called upon to understand the economic relevance of events. Within International political economy (IPE) two broad positions emerge: either the event is ‘just an event’, a superficial spectacle in an otherwise straightforward story of power, hierarchy, and resistance; or the event is large enough to be considered a ‘crisis’.
While sympathetic to such arguments, this book develops a more performative politics of the global event, namely that the very idea of the event must be placed in question. Emotional and psychological discourses of ‘trauma’ and ‘resilience’ play important roles in how the global event is ‘known’, how it is governed, and how the affective dimensions of market life are lived. By identifying the contingent rise of these discourses, the author de-stabilises and politicises the apparent existential veracity of the global event. It thus provides a route into understanding and interpreting the possibilities and limits of the affective turn in market life and holds implications for the classic questions of IPE: who wins, who loses, and how might it be changed?.
An important work for advanced scholars and students of international political economy, ‘everyday and cultural political economy’, crisis and resilience, as well as broader debates on globalisation.
