About this Event
This conference brings together scholars from across the social sciences to interrogate how monetary forms, institutions and imaginaries are implicated (or not) in various forms of violence including rotting, coercion, harm, and conflict. Relations between money and violence span war, debt/credit, everyday life, illicit and shadow economies, colonial and postcolonialisms, and the monetization of risk, punishment, and survival.
The conference invites empirically grounded and theoretically informed papers that engage with money and violence across different geographical and historical contexts, including but not limited to warfare, policing, borders, development, financial markets, humanitarianism, and household economies. By fostering dialogue across anthropology, sociology, political science, human geography, heterodox economics and related fields, the conference aims to chart the different ways in which money and violence are brought together empirically and analytically, what new relations are emerging and what can be learnt through historical contextualisation and geographical comparison?
