Subject outline
From the most abstract financial flows to our most intimate desires money and markets permeate all aspects of our lives. But should we limit the powers of money and markets to reduce everything to property and exchange? What are the implications of thinking of our bodies and work as things we own? What is money and why is it so powerful? Are global markets spaces of freedom and creativity or the reverse? Can we imagine futures without the dominance and defining powers of money and markets over bodies and life? We address these and related questions through the work of some influential thinkers in European and feminist theory such as Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Butler, Ahmed, Derrida, Deleuze and Agamben.
