Market life is increasingly conducted in the shadow of global
events like 9/11, the Sub-Prime crisis and Brexit. Within
International political economy (IPE) two broad positions can be
discerned: either the event is 'just an event', a superficial
spectacle in an otherwise straightforward story of power and
hierarchy; or the event is large enough to be considered a
'crisis'. While sympathetic to such arguments, this book develops a
more performative politics of the global event, arguing that the
very idea of the event must be placed in question. How is the event
constructed? How are market subjects performed in relation to the
event? This book argues that emotional and psychological discourses
of 'trauma' and 'resilience' provide an important affective
register for understanding how the global event is 'known', how it
is governed, and how the affective dimensions of market life might
be lived. By identifying the contingent rise of these discourses,
the author de-stabilises and re-politicises the apparent
existential veracity of the global event. The critical
possibilities and limits of the affective turn in market life can
then be rendered according to classic questions of IPE: who wins,
who loses, and how might it be changed? An important work for
advanced scholars and students of international political economy,
'everyday and cultural political economy', crisis and resilience,
as well as broader debates on globalisation.
