+++Apologies for cross-posting++++ CfP for a mini conference at this year’s SASE, held at UC Berkeley June 24-26: ‘Countermovements Revisited: On the Analytical Power and Boundaries of Polanyi’s Concept Today’. This mini-conference aims to explore the analytical power and boundaries of Polanyi’s concept of the countermovement in the era of a globalized capitalism. Intensification of economic integration on a global scale and the increasing financialization and marketization of business, politics and the everyday life has undermined the post-war settlement in many (Western) countries, producing what might be called a “second Polanyian moment”. These developments advance forcefully and (re-)expose ever more parts of society to the market, thereby undermining its social, environmental, and economic preconditions. By re-integrating economy and society, Polanyi’s concept is a powerful tool to analyze social movements and political re-regulation on different levels (from local to cross-national) and in different forms (reactionary, nationalistic, progressive). A detailed CfP can be found via this link: https://sase.org/2016---berkeley/mini-conferences_fr_232.html#MC4 Deadline for submitting proposals is January 18. Feel free to circulate this CfP. A good start into 2016 for all of you.
