Rationale<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the recent fall-out of finance, confidence in\u00a0the market\u00a0does not seem to be diminishing, but on the contrary, market mechanisms are becoming key instruments to deal with core contemporary collective concerns, including global warming and education (Mirowski 2013). This workshop will be devoted to discuss the proliferation of markets that have been devised \u2013 not only to work\u00a0economically \u2013\u00a0<\/em>but also to solve collective issues in areas such as environmental pollution, security of supply of energy, quality of education, poverty and health care.<\/p>\n

The workshop \u2018Markets for Collective Concern?\u2019 expects to gather and bridge a growing but dispersed community of researchers studying markets for collective concerns coming from at least three following branches.\u00a0Anthropologists, geographers and post-colonial scholars<\/strong>\u00a0tracing the practical enactment of markets devised to deal with collective concerns in areas such as housing (Mitchell 2005), micro-finance (Elyachar 2012) and financial regulation (Riles 2011, Cooper 2011) around the globe. Post-performativity research in\u00a0social studies of markets<\/strong>\u00a0wondering about the practical work and knowledge deployed in evaluating and repairing arrangements that are simultaneously markets and policy (Breslau 2013,\u00a0Far\u00edas 2014, Neyland\u00a0& Simakova 2012).\u00a0Historians of social theory and economics\u00a0<\/strong>that have found that the notion of \u201csolving collective problems with markets\u201d implies an important displacement in the hegemonic discourse in economics (Mirowski & Plehwe 2009, Mirowski 2013) renewing the interest in reappraising the interactions and conflicts between sociology, history and economics in the early 20th century (Gane 2014, Peck 2010).<\/p>\n

Some of the issues that might be discussed in this workshop are: Do markets devised as \u201cpolicy instruments\u201d (Lascoumes & Le Gales 2007) have a civilizing potential to open new forms of technical democracy (Callon 2009)? What are the consequences of the diagnosed move in economics conception of markets for the dialogue between researchers from different social scientific disciplines studying markets? Are markets for collective concerns irreversible?<\/p>\n
