Fintech hackathons, corporate hacking, and ‘the everyday’ in critical fintech studies
This article engages the concept of ‘the everyday’ as a critical tool for analysing the intersections of finance and technology and the political economy of the fintech industry. While existing studies often use ‘the everyday’ to refer to those actors, practices, sites, or relations outside the financial sector that are increasingly subject to the sector’s influence, the article advances a more expansive notion that highlights its affordances as …

Curating reflexivity: Industry Events and the Performative Politics of Alternative Finance
This article examines the role of industry events in curating reflexivity within the financial sector. Through an examination of industry events related to impact bonds and Islamic finance, it identifies three important mechanisms through which reflexivity is curated. First, industry events act as foundational frames, creating historical narratives and origin stories that conjure up a shared sense of social purpose and direction amongst professio…
Curated Power: The Performative Politics of (Industry) Events
Since the turn of the millennium, there has been an increased interest in the social performance of power in international political sociology.

A focus on curated power, we argue, can orie…
Critical macro-finance: An introduction
Critical macro-finance (CMF) has become an influential avenue of research aimed at shedding light on how the global payments system is governed. In the introduction to this special forum on CMF, we explore three main themes: (1) the intellectual lineage of CMF and its relation to financialisation studies; (2) the policy relevance of CMF; and (3) its 'critical' position
Mobile Payments, Social Money: Everyday Politics of the Consumer Subject
How should we think about mobile payments systems such as Apple and Android Pay? We argue that mobile payments should be understood in the context of changing consumption practices and the wider problematic of the consumer subject in International Political Economy. One (managerialist) view of these changes suggests that certain ‘immaterial’ values in brands, logos or networks can become an important element in economic growth. Thus, businesses i…
