SUMMARY:Investing in Values - key note announcement
DESCRIPTION:MAX CAM EVENT: “INVESTING IN VALUES” – TWO KEYNOTE SPEECHES \nBordering the surplus population across the Mediterranean: war\, borders\, and labour \nLucia Pradella\, Kings College London \n13.00-14.00\, Tuesday 18 February \nNew Combination Room\, Corpus Christi College \nThe military and the business of border control are two expanding investment sectors. But what is their link to the food we consume? And what do labour conditions in agriculture tell us about the nature of value and investment in the contemporary global economy? My paper discusses the impact of the NATO war on Libya and the externalization of EU borders in the Mediterranean upon the development of labour exploitation and unfree labour in the agricultural sector in southern Europe\, looking in particular at the case of Italy. Focusing on the period between the 2007/8 crisis\, the 2011 uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East and 2018\, I trace the links between the pillaging of Libyan resources and the exploitation of immigrant workers in Libya and in Italian agriculture\, as well as the role of the Italian state and Libyan state and non-state actors in containing and disciplining a reserve army of black African labour through a brutal system of detention\, extortion and forced labour. This system both traps immigrants in Libya and pushes them towards Europe. Agri-business and retail corporations operating in Italy have benefitted from the import of cheap energy and vulnerable workers from Libya. Immigrants’ experiences of violence and forced labour in Libya can play a disciplining role when they arrive in Italy\, but can also encourage them to mobilize and reclaim their collective rights. The paper concludes with a reflection on the role of war and borders in a new era of global revolt. \n  \nMaterial Political Economy  \nDonald MacKenzie\, University of Edinburgh \n19.00-20.00\, Tuesday 18 February \nMcCrum Lecture Theatre\, Corpus Christi College \n‘Material political economy’ is a perspective on finance (and similar markets) that takes all three of those words seriously. It probes the material foundations of finance; examines the politics of those foundations (both in the actor-network theory sense of ‘material politics’ and in the effect on finance’s materiality of the interaction between finance and the political system); and is attentive to the economics of finance\, especially to finance’s mundane money-making. \nThe main case that will be examined is automated\, ultrafast high-frequency trading or HFT\, but two other cases will be discussed more briefly: decentralised cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum; and online advertising\, especially realtime bidding. \n

SUMMARY:Max Cam Conference "Work\, Ethics and Freedom"
DESCRIPTION:The first Max Cam conference\, organised by the Max Planck – Cambridge Centre for Ethics\, Economy and Social Change (Max-Cam)\, will be held from 11 to 13 December 2019.  It examines labour relations in the twenty-first century and how they conflict with or strengthen the ethics of human freedom. Social discourses on this topic are frequently marked by extreme positions: on one side of the debate\, work is interpreted as emancipatory; on the other\, the wage labour system and all its neoliberal variants are seen as a threat to individual freedom and the democratic constitution of society.  Please see the conference programme.

SUMMARY:Indebted: Student Finance\, Social Speculation\, and the Future of the US Family
DESCRIPTION:Professpor Caitlin Zaloom will give a lecture entitled “Indebted:  Student Finance\, Social Speculation\, and the Future of the US Family” on 14th October at 5:30 p.m. in the McCrum Lecture Theatre\, Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge.  Abstract: The struggle to pay for college is one of the defining features of middle-class experience in the United States today. As costs rise beyond what any could have predicted\, students and parents alike agonise over whether to take on the burden of loans to try and achieve the promise of higher education. This talk will examine the hidden consequences of student debt\, drawing on wide-ranging interviews with parents and students to examine how these conflicting contemporary pressures have transformed family life.

SUMMARY:Disjunct Moral Economies at the Russia-China-Mongolia border
DESCRIPTION:Professor Dame Caroline Humphrey will give a lecture entitled “Disjunct Moral Economies at the Russia-China-Mongolia border” on the 26th February at 5 p.m. in the Edmund Leach room at the Department of Social Anthropology\, Cambridge. \nAbstract: Mistrust\, no less than trust\, can be intrinsic to positive conceptualisations of moral economy. In a critique of certain approaches to global trade\, Professor Humphrey will in this lecture suggest that researchers should interest themselves in the moral economies of states and governments as well as those of local actors. Accounts of three contrasting operations – historical as well as ethnographic studies of business transactions at the Russia-China-Mongolia border – will serve as examples of this argument. In each of them business and state operations intersect\, comprising a different formulation of trust / mistrust related to practical interactions and socio-cultural separations.  \nAll are welcome; registration not required. \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register for this event\, please complete the form below\n \nYour Name (required)\n \n\n \nYour Email (required)\n \n\n \nOrganisation\, affiliation (if applicable)

SUMMARY:Call for Papers
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS \nWorkshop \n Work\, Ethics and Freedom \n11–13 December\, 2019 \nVenue: Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology\, Halle/Saale\, Germany \nConvenor: Chris Hann\, Johannes Lenhard (for the Max Planck – Cambridge Centre for Ethics\, Economy and Social Change) \nKeynote: 6.00pm\, 11th December 2018\, Wolfgang Streeck (title to be announced) \nExplorations of the possibilities and perils of work in the twenty-first century are often animated by morally-charged ideas of human freedom. While such discussions oscillate between „soaring‟ conceptions of liberation from all constraints and abject evocations of any constraint as „subjection‟\, anthropologists have generally sought to investigate how freedom is variably constituted through social relations and cultural values. In societies dominated by labour markets based on a principle of formally „free‟ wage labour\, anthropologists have built on Karl Polanyi‟s approach to economy as „instituted process‟ to investigate comparatively how the exercise of freedom is shaped. Polanyi was worried about the implications of the “machine age” for democracy. What would he make of the gig economy that now flourishes alongside flexibilization and precaritization? \nBringing together anthropologists and social scientists working at the intersection of economy and ethics\, we invite papers that draw on ethnography to explore how people conceptualize freedom in contemporary worlds of work\, with a particular focus on: \n\nThe subject of work\nWork as a process and experience\nWork and institutions\, labour in and out of the market\nLabour relations and the politics of work\nThe value and meaning of work\n\nProposals (up to 250 words) should be sent by email to Chris Hann (hann@eth.mpg.de) before 1st May 2019. Scholars whose proposals are accepted will have all costs reimbursed. \nMore information concerning the Max-Cam Centre can be found at: http://www.eth.mpg.de/4824356/Max_Cam
