Sold out? Reconfiguring consumer demand through the secondary digital ticket market
Market studies research has posited the reciprocity of markets making exchanges and exchanges making markets. In this paper, we assess the impact of digitalizing on exchanges and markets. We present a case study on concert-ticket resale, in which the object of exchange (the ticket) is at least stable, but the methods of exchange are changing significantly, partly to attach or detach some contested quality to the exchange, and partly in the tussle…
Promissories and pharmaceutical patents
We investigate a body of data emanating from the 2008/2009 EU Pharmaceutical Sector Inquiry, interpreting the collection of submissions to it as a concerted attempt at market innovation that becomes fraught with challenge and contest. In the pharmaceutical market, interests associated with patient concerns, government budgets, global “Big Pharma,” and local “small pharma” coalesce and compete with patent law, technological innovation and drug lif…

Kyung Hyun Kim is probably the most important scholar of contemporary Korean cinema. His previous book, The Remasculinization of Korean Cinema (2004), was a ground-breaking work that dealt with the
KirŏgiFamilies in the US
Changes in the form and function of the Korean family at the beginning of the twenty-first century are inextricably related to the process of globalisation. The kirŏgi family is one of several novel family types that have emerged since 1990. It is a split-household, transnational family with the mother and children moving to an English-speaking country for the children's education and the father staying behind in Korea to work and support the fam…
Markets are trading zones
This chapter applies the concept of the trading zone to markets. It does so in order to highlight the multiple material, linguistic, and interpretative dimensions of actors' organizing, trading, buying, and selling work, which they normally undertake to secure an exchange. The trading zones also highlight the multiple areas of conflict, miscomprehension, or incommensurability that may arise between buyers and sellers in markets. Drawing on extant…
Reconnecting marketing to markets
The historical link between marketing and markets, prevalent until the 1960s, has given way to the view of marketing as a portable set of tools applicable to markets and non-markets alike. By re-establishing the connection between the two, this book examines the argument that marketing produces markets: marketing practices and theories play a very significant role in the production of markets and the kinds of entities and phenomena that populate …
Economic sociology as a strange other to both sociology and economics
Economic sociologists have developed and applied theories and concepts in close connection with broadly economic phenomena, including, recently, embeddedness and actor network theory. Key to these theories is understandings of action given uncertainty in which actors develop calculative capabilities, and an emphasis on markets with boundaries and interstices as essential properties. This article reflects upon the connections between Parsons' and …

The Re-employment Experiences of Former Aerospace Employees Within a Local Economy
FINCH J. H. (1998) The re-employment experiences of former aerospace employees within a local economy, Reg. Studies 32 , 421-433. Aerospace production has been undergoing major reorganization since the late 1980s. This paper investigates one aspect of changing organization: the re-employment experiences of those made redundant by British Aerospace (BAe) during reorganization of its production capacity across its sites in Lancashire in the North W…
From Proletarian to Entrepreneur to Big Man
The resemblances between Melanesian Big Men and capitalist entrepreneurs have long fascinated anthropologists. However, even though traditional leaders in Melanesian societies resemble entrepreneurs in certain respects they are motivated by different concerns. In this paper, I consider the career of Noya of the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea to demonstrate the contrasts and confluences between the roles of big man and that of entrepreneur.…
Scoring and ranking farmland conservation activities to evaluate environmental performance and encourage sustainable farming
The University of Hertfordshire, in collaboration with two UK agricultural establishments, ADAS and IACR‒Rothamsted, is developing a computerised decision support system for environmental management of arable agriculture. Part of this system is aimed towards encouraging sound farmland conservation to protect existing plants and animals, to encourage greater biodiversity and to help the farming community adopt more sustainable practices. The softw…
