In recent decades, anthropologists have started to study financial markets from an ethnographic perspective. In doing so, they have emphasized the importance of understanding everyday practices as a crucial component of financial markets. Soon, attention shifted from a strictly actor-centred approach to the infrastructure and the impact of technology on the development of financial markets. This has resulted in a body of literature that deals with issues such as gender relations, recruitment processes, physical performance, the role of technology, the construction and circulation of financial products or the use of alternative currencies in a globalized economy. In this exercise, we will take a look at this growing literature on finance. We will discuss the theoretical concepts they put forward and ask ourselves to what extent these ethnographies help us to gain new insights into how financial markets work in reality. |
