“Provincializing Finance”, the American Anthropological Association session, November 20-24, 2013, Chicago. From Wall Street to the City in London, and Tokyo, recent scholarship in the anthropology of finance has provided important insight into practices among financial elites of the global North. Yet, as global finance has expanded since the 1970s, it has enfolded new markets and market participants. As rising economic powers, emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (the so-called BRICS countries) have reoriented global financial markets, offering new sites of speculation and investment. Thus, global finance has increasingly come to shape the everyday lives of people across the globe, often in unexpected and understudied ways. How do we understand the ideologies and practices of contemporary capitalism when we look beyond the usual spaces and players of finance? This panel brings together scholarship on the financialized lives of people at the peripheries of finance.

Yuval Millo has the position of Professor of Social Studies of Finance and Management Accounting at the School of Management of Leicester University. He is a leading contributor to the emerging field of Social Studies of finance (SSF), which develops a unified analytical framework that includes elements from accounting, financial economics and sociology and analyses dynamics in and around financial markets. SSF pays particular attention to the technological and organizational infrastructure that affect price formation. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, Yuval’s current research includes the emergence of electronic trading in financial exchanges (with Daniel Beunza and Juan-Pablo Pardo-Guerra, LSE), the evolution of accounting standards for testing the impairment of assets (with Andrea Mennicken, LSE) and the rise of the Social Return On Investment methodology (with Emily Barman, Boston University and Matt Hall, LSE).

Encontramos a Daniel Beunza en su despacho en la London School of Economics, muy contento y disfrutando de su primer semestre sabático. Sus colegas no acaban de entender porqué sigue viniendo cada día, pero si de lo que se trata es de aprovechar el tiempo sin clases para escribir y explorar nuevas ideas, porqué cambiar una rutina de trabajo que ya en tiempos normales le resulta productiva. Y los resultados hablan por sí solos. Daniel llegó al departamento de Management de LSE en 2010, dónde no sólo está a cargo del programa de doctorado o de impartir clases en programas de estudio para ejecutivos. Además, Daniel ha estado involucrado en elaborar un informe para el gobierno inglés sobre los riesgos de sistemas automatizados de intercambio, ha seguido contribuyendo al blog socializing finance, plataforma de comunicación clave del campo de los estudios de las finanzas, y buscando nuevas aristas para comprender el mundo financiero. El libro que está preparando, y del que nos cuenta en esta entrevista, propone un vuelco en las interpretaciones habituales de las estructuras organizacionales heterárquicas para vincularlas a la reciente crisis financiera.
Donald MacKenzie, sin duda uno de los más influyente sociólogos de las ciencias y figura clave en el reciente desarrollo de los estudios sociales de las finanzas es entrevistado especialmente para estudiosdelaeconomía por Javier Hernández. [Interview in English, Answers in audio files].
Question 1.Thanks very much for your time. Social Studies of Finance is a multi disciplinary field that is attracting increasing interest, especially after the recent financial crisis. What is, in your opinion, the main focus, but also your balance, of the 10 recent years of research and what are the strengths, weaknesses, or changes of focus or directions you see happening in this field?
