This collection offers pathbreaking framing of the material culture
of financialisation. It begins with a tight definition of
financialisation in order to distinguish the phenomenon of
financialisation from its effects and from the looser associations
prevalent within much of the literature such as the presence of
credit or even simply (more extensive) monetary relations. To
locate financialisation within economic and social reproduction, of
which material culture is a part, close attention is paid to the
distinctive forms of financialisation arising from commodification,
commodity form and commodity calculation. The differences in the
extent to which, and how, these prevail are addressed through the
innovative system of provision approach and its framing of material
culture through use of ten distinctive attributes of such cultures,
known as the 10Cs (Constructed, Construed, Conforming, Commodified,
Contextual, Contradictory, Closed, Contested, Collective and
Chaotic). This framing of the cultures attached to financialisation
is then illustrated through case studies demonstrating the diverse
ways in which shifting cultures have served to embed
financialisation in our daily lives. After a discussion of the
material culture of financialisation itself there are two sector
examples which review financial cultures in the provision of water
and housing. These are followed by considerations of
financialisation in financial literacy and financial inclusion, the
media and, finally, well-being. The chapters in this book were
originally published in a special issue of New Political Economy.

WWII action drama about the rescue of two missing Swedish soldiers
in Nazi-occupied Norway. In December 1942, prior to the invasion of
their country by the German army, two Swedish soldiers manning a
roadblock in the densely wooded border area leave their post to
catch a glimpse of the potential enemy. Events, however, quickly
take a turn for the worse, and the soldiers soon find themselves
lost on the wrong side of the border. After Lieutenant Aron
Stenström (André Sjöberg) discovers that one of the missing
soldiers is his brother, he quickly gathers together an elite
rescue team and sets out into the snowbound forests in a race
against time to find the soldiers before the Germans do.

LGBTQ kids reveal what it's like to be young and queer today
Growing Up Queer explores the changing ways that young people are
now becoming LGBT-identified in the US. Through interviews and
three years of ethnographic research at an LGBTQ youth drop-in
center, Mary Robertson focuses on the voices and stories of youths
themselves in order to show how young people understand their
sexual and gender identities, their interest in queer media, and
the role that family plays in their lives. The young people who
participated in this research are among the first generation to
embrace queer identities as children and adolescents. This
groundbreaking and timely consideration of queer identity
demonstrates how sexual and gender identities are formed through
complicated, ambivalent processes as opposed to being natural
characteristics that one is born with. In addition to showing how
youth understand their identities, Growing Up Queer describes how
young people navigate queerness within a culture where being gay is
the "new normal." Using Sara Ahmed's concept of queer orientation,
Robertson argues that being queer is not just about one's sexual
and/or gender identity, but is understood through intersecting
identities including race, class, ability, and more. By showing how
society accepts some kinds of LGBTQ-identified people while
rejecting others, Growing Up Queer provides evidence of queerness
as a site of social inequality. The book moves beyond an
oversimplified examination of teenage sexuality and shows, through
the voices of young people themselves, the exciting yet complicated
terrain of queer adolescence.
