  • The liability of politicalness : Legitimacy and legality in piracy-proximate entrepreneurship
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1476-1297 .- 1741-8054. ; 22:4, s. 408-425
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article explores three entrepreneurial ventures that have evolved in proximity to online piracy. In reviewing the respective cases of Spotify, Skype, and The Pirate Bay, the argument outlines the radically divergent strategies with which the entrepreneurs have sought to legitimise their ventures and underlying technologies. The article concludes that: 1) the context of practices labelled ‘pirate’ are paradigmatic examples of fields in which entrepreneurs must work exceptionally hard to legitimise themselves; 2) in this context, it is crucial that the role of law is analytically isolated from the role of institutionalised legitimacy; 3) success in legitimisation is largely dependent upon the entrepreneur’s ability to demonstrate that the venture is governed by ‘the natural order’ of the economy. It is further argued that piracy-proximate ventures may contribute to the entrepreneurship field, inasmuch as they teeter on the border of being considered too disruptive, and thus suffer from a ‘liability of politicalness’.

  • Livelihoods or ecopreneurship? Agro-economic experiments in Hambantota, Sri Lanka
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Journal of Enterprising Communities: People and Places in the Global Economy. - : Emerald. - 1750-6204. ; 7:2, s. 125-135
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose - In the context of contemporary debates on ecopreneurship and sustainable livelihoods, this article compares two programmes to promote a certain type of agro-economic practice among rural farmers. By following the successes and failures of these programmes, the text interrogates how such initiatives are evaluated by the surrounding community of aid agencies and governmental bodies. Design/methodology/approach - Deploying the theoretical notion of "performativity", as used within economic anthropology, the article posits that the above-mentioned programmes can be construed as economic experiments. More specifically, the text compares two concurrent initiatives: One ecopreneurial experiment instigated by a social entrepreneur, and one livelihoods-focussed experiment instigated by an aid agency. The case study is based upon material from a three-year ethnography of entrepreneurship-promoting programmes in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. Findings - While the ecopreneurial venture fails, the livelihoods-based initiative proves successful in demonstrating its economic validity. The case study indicates that, in the context of modes of evaluation focusing on day-to-day incomes of farmers, it may be difficult for ecopreneurs to make room for ecological experimentation. Originality/value - Having identified this "ecopreneur’s dilemma", the article prompts scholars and policy-makers to investigate it further, and potentially re-examine how the livelihoods agenda is implemented in practice.

  • Exploitative experiments? Organic farming in Sri Lanka
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Annual Meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science, Tokyo, August 25 – 29.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Current food and ecological crises have given rise to fiercetechno-scientific battles over the merits of "green revolution", organic, "integrated", and GM crop-based farming. However, the actual experimenting is often done - and the associated financial risks are often borne - by farmers in the poorer parts of the world. While STS hastraditionally studied such techno-scientific disputes in the context of high-income countries, studies that feature power disparities created by the gap between the richer and poorer countries are less common. What happens when experimentation may involve exploitation? This paper discusses these issues, contextualising them in an ongoing ethnographic study of how various actors (farmers, western social entrepreneurs and aid organisations, agricultural instructors, civil society activists) engage with the issue of organic farming in Sri Lanka.

  • Predicting what you'll do tomorrow: Panspectric surveillance and the contemporary corporation
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Surveillance & Society. - : Queen's University Library. - 1477-7487. ; 8:3, s. 338-354
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In an economy of rapidly mutating consumer preferences, new forms of surveillance have been developed within contemporary business. Increasingly, so-called “panspectric” techniques of predicting consumption choices, and tracking the shifting customer desires, are proving crucial for corporations trying to compete on the market place. Using the Deleuzian concepts of “assemblage” and “societies of control” as a point of departure, this paper explores how a new societal “diagram” is currently actualised in the marketing practices of contemporary corporations. This diagram emerges as the result of the concatenation of technological architectures (increased digital logging of everyday behaviours and data mining) and new perspectives on the human constitution; perspectives that dovetail nicely with contemporary social theory. Thus, social scientists are already complicit in the emergence of new modes of marketing-cum-surveillance.

  • Legitimacy and time in technoscientific capitalism
  • 2021
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Responding to the call for interventions on the socio-technical construction of the future, this paper explores the how the concept of “technoscientific capitalism” may be understood in relation to time. Recent contributions in STS prompt scholars to engage with the political economy of science and technology. While these contributions tend to lean on politico-economic concepts such as rents (Birch, 2020) and assets (Birch & Muniesa, 2020), this paper will describe technoscientific capitalism in different terms. Revisiting the arguments of Lyotard (1984) – the originator of the concept – the paper investigates how technoscientific capitalism initially emerges in the context of a FrancoGerman debate on the problem of legitimacy in late capitalism. The argument then explores how Lyotard subsequently moves on to describe technoscientific capitalism as a process of controlling futures, forestalling events, and annihilating time. The paper concludes by suggesting that this focus on time restates the stakes of technoscience capitalism, reorienting the view to examine the practices in which futures are locked-in by technoscience.
