Browse Hierarchy ULC338: The Worldmaking of Objects : A Political Economy of International Trade

Back to QM-ULIP-ULIP: University of London Institute in Paris
This course is about thinking the global from the point of view of objects and tracing the worldmaking they do through the human and non-human assemblages their trajectories create. This tight focus on objects will be our point of entry into thinking international trade, its histories and differential effects across various places, the inequalities, foreclosures and unexpected openings and entanglements it has produced. We will start by exploring what makes an object a commodity before tackling its various modes of circulation and ways of thinking about and representing the territories it traverses, the transfers, translations and transformations it operates. We will simultaneously practice different ways of narrating these worldmaking operations of objects, through ethnographic and mapping techniques.
