When scientists study panda kin recognition
In conserving the giant panda as ‘natural heritage’ and China’s ‘national treasure’, scientists determine which animals should breed by measuring kinship through genetics, genealogy, or lived closeness. Criticisms of practices such as genetic population management and assisted insemination have spurred efforts to acknowledge panda agency through kin recognition studies. While decentring the human, such studies unwittingly reinforce human preoccup…
Introduction
Exploring infrastructure has much to offer for economic anthropology. Inspired by the convergence of literatures on value and infrastructure in studies of financialisation, we develop the analytics of 'infrastructures of value' on old terrain: agriculture. Infrastructure facilitates valuation practices and enables valorisation as fixed capital. Material networks emerging from practices of infrastructuring also mediate value by facilitating, chann…
Valuing Organics
Certification schemes and alternative food networks have often been studied separately or using different analytical concepts. Ethnographic research in Sichuan Province, China shows how a cooperative used both labels and people to inform consumers about the ecological quality and trustworthiness of its food, thereby obtaining price premiums. Using information infrastructure as the common analytical vocabulary for exploring both certification and …

The relationship between labour and social policy is at the heart of the social question. Scholars often treat this link as either a causal relation out there or a conceptual connection in policy makers’ minds. This article examines its sociotechnical materiality instead. It follows anthropologists who ask how bureaucrats practice policy and scholars of science and technology studies who explore how social and technical aspects are interrelated i…
