Data stitching
This paper examines how fiscal data practices shape citizen-state relations in rural Bangladesh through an ethnography of a social enterprise's experiment to digitalize holding tax in one locality, situated amidst wider Digital Bangladesh reforms. Fiscal data sociality describes how taxation is lived and contested through data artefacts such as receipts, logbooks and spreadsheets. Data stitching names the relational labour through which fiscal da…
Entrepreneurship-As-Struggle
Entrepreneurship among marginalized people in Bangladesh involves social, political, and cultural struggle against immediate crises of poverty and enduring crises of class, caste, religious, and gendered exclusions. Drawing on 25 months of ethnographic research among entrepreneurs in rural Bangladesh and the life stories of 137 entrepreneurs, we argue that the aspirations, relationships, and transformations that emerge with these practices reveal…
Transient assemblages, ephemeral encounters, and the "beautiful story" of a Japanese social enterprise in rural Bangladesh
Eleven Japanese corporate executives and 10 Bangladeshi village-based entrepreneurs stand around an array of gleaming solar panels perched precariously on piles of bricks and hay. Despite being labeled a "social enterprise," this solar-energy initiative emerged neither from development planning nor from a company's market strategy. Instead, the project emerged from a chaotic series of events and the Japanese state's decentralized patronage politi…
Digital aspirations
Wrong-number' mobile-phone relationships are initiated by men dialling random numbers, but they enable young women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh to experiment with the boundaries of fearful excitement; negotiatepurdah, dowry, and gender norms; and reimagine their futures. These virtual relationships thus constitute a field of cultural struggle for young women that involves ambivalence, ethical-boundary work, cultural critique and the recognition of…
The ambiguous figures of social enterprise
Trained by social enterprises as objects and instruments of development, Bangladesh's female "Information Agents" adopt the gendered flexibilities implied by new entrepreneurial livelihoods. Switching among multiple roles, these entrepreneurs defy social expectations and appear as ambiguous figures. "Social enterprise" thus incorporates the morally perilous results of gendered flexibility and the contradictions between emergent ethical discourses…
