WCF Dialogue: James Brassett and John Morris on 'Resilience'
WCF Dialogue on "Resilience: Market Subjects and Performative Politics"
Held on Wednesday, 8 November, 2017.
Agenda
The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Critical Finance group invited John Morris (Faculty Research Centre for Business in Society, Coventry University) and James Brassett (¹û¶³´«Ã½'s PAIS Department) to speak about their research on resilience.
The post-crisis period has seen a growing emphasis on nurturing complex adaptive (financial) networks that have the ability to ‘bounce back’ in stressful situations. What are the political consequences of this impetus? A re-invention of neo-liberalism in disciplinary terms or a proliferation of alternatives to market-centrism? Or something else?
Against this backdrop, John Morris and James Brassett discussed the (cultural) production of resilient financial systems and market subjects. The session was chaired by Marco Andreu (¹û¶³´«Ã½'s PAIS Department).
