My longish review of Michel Callon's Markets in the Making (in which I sidle from Salman Rushdie to the Waterboys by way of Benjamin, Akrich, Foucault, Rorty Anders Blok all all that) is finally out in @jcultecon tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The collection includes my long-ish introduction, on efforts to "culturalise" political economy at the Open University, while Stuart Hall was chairing social sciences. It contains a literary homage to a widely read book. 3 nerd points to those who get it. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I was born in West Lothian into a family that had been there for generations and I had no clue

was the rise and rise of anti-cosmopolitan right wing culture everywhere. This is where something quite definite dawned on me: I have been studying this right-wing culture since its emergence in Australia in the mid-1990s. I have also researched it but to a lesser extent in

France and in the US since that time. But I have to say, I am genuinely over ‘not being surprised by it’ because it is continuously surprising me. I am over not being outraged by it because this de-civilisational process is bloody outrageous. And, despite my own research and

having read the research of many other, I definitely can’t say that I understand what is going on here in any way that I consider satisfactory. I feel that we've been scratching surfaces and all the work is ahead of us.
