There's long been a quasi-Gramscian take on polling, that it 'constructs' publics rather than 'represents' them, but the idea of 5-party politics colliding with the FFTP system is going to deserve whole-hearted performativity studies in the MacKenzie/Callon tradition

Why is environmentalism class divided?

My new paper in The British Journal of Sociology maps attitudes to green issues in the social space of economic and cultural capital. Spoiler: it’s not just about being rich.

Any invocation of “bad” music, like my putative confession above, performs an ironically distanced declaration of selfhood, one that is so knowing as to disarm argument."

Our Facebook lists say: Look at how cannily I negotiate the field of cultural consumption; look also at how I resist definition by others nonetheless, because I deliberately “miscode” myself, finding coherence in my strategic, quirky incoherence.

This is now accepted common sense, rooted in all our acts of aesthetic consumption; we know our list of favorite films or books is not a self but a series of “position-takings.”

"The form of the list survives mockery, however, and even thrives today, precisely because we agree with what Barthes argued: that taste lists create a “subjectivity effect,” a social profile, rather than revealing an actual self.

Drei aufgefächert fotografierte Exemplare unserer Neuerscheinung »Johannes Agnoli oder: Subversion als Wissenschaft«, herausgeben von Michael Hewener. Daneben steht: OUT NOW

OUT NOW! Johannes Agnoli entlarvt die #Demokratie der Bundesrepublik als Instrument der Herrschaft, das die Massen von der Macht fernhält. Gerade diese kritische Perspektive macht ihn in Zeiten von Autoritarismus + faschist. Gefahr so aktuell: dietzberlin.de/produkt/joha.... Wir verlosen 1 Band! /1

Eine Kritik der Modern Monetary Theory als geldtheoretisches Konzept | Exploring Economics In diesem Beitrag diskutiert Ingo Stützle die Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) kritisch aus einer an Marx orientierten Ökonomiekritik. Dabei wird argumentiert, dass die MMT zwar wichtige Fragen aufwirft, aber weder einen adäquaten Begriff von Geld noch von Kapitalismus hat, was mitunter zu Fehlschlüssen führt. Dabei ist der wesentliche Punkt, dass die MMT auf der Basis eines falschen Verständnisses von Geld die notwendige Begrenztheit staatlicher Verfügungs- und Gestaltungsmacht im Kapitalismus nicht versteht.

Ein wirklich sehr gelungener Beitrag von @istuetzle.bsky.social zur #Geldtheorie.

Chartbook 343 : Polycrisis & the critique of capitalocentrism. A world at "loose ends" mini-series # 1.

I'm enjoying Tooze's sudden burst of theoretical reflexivity, as per his latest substack. What is still lacking is same level of methodological reflexivity, of the sort captured by 'sociology of critique' or what others termed 'social life of methods' adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

This is a good framing I think. Ideology critique in an age of social media feels filled with pitfalls — the temptation is to talk about ideas where what matters more is affect, impulse, provocation

I think that there is still a point to be made that it is scandalous to omit Marxism from introductions and handbooks (as I've shown w/r/t economic sociology in one of my previous threads) - if Marx and Marxism is passé, why not have him pose as (another) negative foil akin to institutional econ?
