The Theatre of Entrepreneurship: Learning to Perform the Speculative Self in University Entrepreneurship Programs
How do colleges teach students to be entrepreneurial? For three years, we observed young entrepreneurs, most of them students at Virginia Commonwealth University. Drawing from interviews with 57 students and recent graduates and observations of entrepreneurship-related events, we argue that entrepreneurial training encourages students to embrace a future-oriented and relational form of human capital. This speculative self (1) requires a performed…

Planetary Improvement: Cleantech Entrepreneurship and the Contradictions of Green Capitalism
Jesse Goldstein's "Planetary Improvement: Cleantech Entrepreneurship and the Contradictions of Green Capitalism" examines the rise of an environmentalist discourse that seeks to save the planet *through* capitalism, rather than *from* it. Focusing on early-stage cleantech entrepreneurs in New York City, Goldstein uses ethnographic research to analyze the complex politics of technological innovation and the widespread investment-both financial and…
Green Keynesianism: Bringing the Entrepreneurial State Back in(to Question)
Since the global financial crisis of 2007/8, proliferating calls for a Keynesian Green New Deal have cast the publicly (and environmentally) minded state as a necessary driver of technological innovation and social transformation, while, vice versa, innovation has moved to political centre-stage. The history and genesis of this particular Green Keynesian paradigm illustrate that some of its most high-profile proponents selectively and problematic…
Varieties of Entrepreneurial Capitalism: The Culture of Entrepreneurship and Structural Inequalities of Work and Business Creation
As the labor market has changed over recent decades, a distinctive culture has evolved in tandem, epitomized by the innovation and dynamism of Silicon Valley. This culture of entrepreneurship celebrates autonomy and risk-taking, legitimizes a shift toward flexible, contingent, and precarious work, and compels workers to continuously network, self-improve, and self-promote. This culture has helped to disseminate entrepreneurial practices to sector…

Biomimetic Futures: Life, Death, and the Enclosure of a More-Than-Human Intellect
The growing field of biomimicry promises to supplant modern industry's energy-intensive models of engineering with a mode of production more sensitively attuned to nonhuman life and matter. This article considers the revolutionary potentials created by biomimicry's more-than-human collectives and their limitations. Although biomimicry gestures toward a radical reontologization of and repoliticization of production, we argue that it remains subjec…
Biomimicry: New Natures, New Enclosures
Advocates of biomimicry encourage a new industrial paradigm that ostensibly leaves behind the crude violence of Francis Bacon, the domination of nature-as-machine, and a history of toxic production processes that have given rise to a present and coming climate crisis. As part of a broader trend towards the conceptualization and development of a 'bioeconomy', we argue here that biomimicry produces 'nature' in new ways. At face value, these new app…

Terra Economica: Waste and the Production of Enclosed Nature
This essay provides an analysis of the “dirty” history and geography of enclosure, as both an instance of primitive accumulation and a production of nature. Specifically, I reconsider the English enclosures as a struggle over the land‐use designation of “waste”. Whereas both open fields and common waste lands were an essential and valuable part of the common right economy, advocates of enclosure came to see these same lands as wasted commons; lan…
