Resilience, Market Subjects and Performative Politics

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 (Warwick's PAIS Department).
