Workshop: "Good economics in the Good economy?" - Oslo, 14-15 October 2019
Apologies for cross-postings. <br> <br>Dear colleagues, <br> <br>As part of the ERC project "Enacting the Good Economy: Biocapitalization and <br>the Little Tools of <br>Valuation", we are organising a <br>workshop at the University of Oslo on the theme "Good economics in the good <br>economy?". The workshop will take place at Tyen Manor House on October 14-15. <br>It will consist in public keynotes on October 14 followed by closed workshop <br>sessions. <br> <br>In recent years, there has been a growing interest, both in scholarship and in <br>policy, towards the so-called "bioeconomy": an upcoming economy that would <br>rely on biological resources, knowledge and technologies to fuel sustained and <br>sustainable growth. The notion of a bioeconomy carries the ambition of <br>transforming of the economy to enable it to attend to the living and to make <br>value out it. It is also an economy that promises to be good and to do good, <br>and as such to redefine its values. In that sense, the rise of the bioeconomy <br>has implications for economic life but also for how political action is <br>conceived, making it necessary to open it up, study how it is enacted in <br>practice and consider the tensions that might arise when the bioeconomy is set <br>in motion. <br>In this workshop, we would like to look into the knowledge production and <br>valuation practices that (tentatively) make up the bioeconomy as project by <br>asking what the economics of the bioeconomy are. What do the promises of a <br>"good economy" imply for economics as a discipline, as an expertise, as a set <br>of practices and devices? To what extent - and how - does economics take part <br>in defining and shaping the good economy? <br>Studies in the STS and performativity tradition have explored the making of <br>economic knowledge and highlighted its contribution to the constitution of <br>"the economy" as a measurable and governable entity. Similarly, this workshop <br>will investigate how economics are enrolled in, or challenged by, the <br>bioeconomy as a new version of the economy. How do bioeconomy strategies or <br>projects - be they in business models or governmental policy - work with, <br>from, or against economic expertise? And which kinds of economic expertise? <br>How are economics applied to the bioeconomy, and what does this mean for <br>economists? We would like to consider these questions looking both into how <br>economic knowledge is produced and into how it is applied. <br> <br>Open Programme, 14 Oct. 09.00-15.00: <br>The Good Economy: Welcome and Introduction by Kristin Asdal (TIK Centre for <br>Technology, Innovation and Culture, University of Oslo), PI of the ERC Project <br>"Enacting the Good Economy: Biocapitalization and the Little Tools of <br>Valuation" <br>"Finance as a response to global environmental crises?" by Eve Chiapello <br>(Centre d'Etude des Mouvement Sociaux-Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences <br>Sociales), author with Luc Boltanski of The New Spirit of Capitalism: <br>"Capitalization and Transition" by Andrew Barry (University College London), <br>author of Political Machines: Governing a technological society and Material <br>Politics: Disputes along the pipeline <br> <br>To attend the open programme, please register by email to <br>beatrice.cointe@tik.uio.no <br> <br>Paper proposals for participation in the workshop sessions are welcome until <br>October 2nd.
