The Social Grammar(s) of Future-Making
This article outlines a theoretical approach for studying the "grammatical" structure of processes of future-making. Building off theoretical insights about the indexicality and relationality of meaning, I show that the prevalent semantic view of future-making as a movement from imagination to action is unable to theorize the dialogical relationship between the projection of futures and the construction of corresponding trajectories. I propose an…
One future to bind them all? Modern central banking and the limits of performative governability
In this article, I analyse the case of ‘modern’ central banking’s dual failures in effectively containing financial fragilities and inflationary pressures as a cautionary tale about the intrinsic limitations and contradictions of ‘governing through quantified futures’. I construct a genealogy of central banks’ much-vaunted ‘performative art’ of governing the economy through the management of expectations in order to reveal a crucial tension betwe…
How central bankers learned to love financialization: The Fed, the Bank, and the enlisting of unfettered markets in the conduct of monetary policy
Central banks' role in financialization has received increasing attention in recent years. These debates have predominantly revolved around authorities' 'benign neglect' of asset bubbles, their deregulatory policies, and the safety nets they provide for speculative exuberance. Most analyses refer to the dominance of pro-market interests and ideas to explain these actions. The present article moves beyond these accounts by showing how an alignment…
The road (not) taken? How the indexicality of practice could make or break the ‘New Constructivism
The ‘turn to practice’ has become a methodological keystone for the project of a ‘New’ Constructivism within International Relations. This project aims to use the observable level of everyday, practical activities as a prism for making empirically tractable the processes of world-making that constitute international order. In making the logic of practice the starting point for substantive theorizing, this New Constructivism seeks to provide a met…
The Public and Its Problems: How the EU's Capital Market Union Defines the Bounds of Legitimate Knowledge and Redraws the Boundaries of (Public) Authority
Recent years have seen increasing theoretical and practical attempts to come to terms with the strains on public authority at the level of transnational regulation and governance. For the most part, these have followed what could be called a strategy of transposition, seeking to install functional equivalents to familiar forms of nation-state or Westphalian public authority. While useful for some analytical purposes, the validity of this strategy…
