*Languages of informality - Final Workshop*
One-day workshop of the CEELBAS ‘Languages of Informality’
interdisciplinary research network
*The aim *of the ‘Languages of Informality’ project is to open a debate for
reassessing the prevailing theoretical parameters within which economic
practices described as ‘informal’ are currently analyzed and understood. We
propose to do this by shifting scholarly attention to local idioms,
language games, and vernacular expressions for ‘informal’ (including
illegal and corrupt) practices as a valuable resource for the development
of a new analytical terminology and novel thematic and theoretical
directions in research.
