Fishing, Freedom, and the Market in Early Modern London
In 1699, London's Billingsgate fish market was confirmed as a 'free market' by parliament. This statute marked the culmination of a commercial conflict between London's Fishmongers' Company and their arriviste rivals, the Company of Free Fishermen. This article uses the conflict to examine shifting ideas and practices governing the food markets of early modern London. Tensions between the popular values of the moral economy and the novel commerci…
Parasites, Signals, and Nodes
This article has been adapted from the notes for a talk presented at the “Inhuman Screens” conference, Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, September 2019.

In particular, it primarily considers Ian Haig’s…

This article uses John Lilburne's 1649 treason trial to explore the function of publicity in Leveller thought.

It argues that the Levellers attributed a particular significance to the transparency of legal proceedings. Publicity offe…

In combining the methodologies of parliamentary history with theoretical scholarship on the material foundations of power, it demonstrates that shifting attitudes toward the royal reg…
