本课程将从我们如何看待经济问题这一命题开始。经济理论不仅仅描述经济，它还构成并积极塑造经济。主流经济理论将经济表现为同质的和单一的资本主义，从而排除了想象和制定经济差异和实验。本课程将涉及多个学科的各种研究潮流，这些学科将经济重新思考为一个多样化和分散化的领域，而不是单一的实体或主导力量。例如，经济地理学家和其他学者最近将他们的注意力转向了“可选择的经济空间”和实践，并通过利用女性主义对经济的理解、对非资本主义经济的人类学调查、将“市场”作为偶然性而非法律场所的社会学重新运作，以及假设“另一种生产是可能的”的“发展”的后结构批评来做到这一点。所有这些努力都是为了将经济作为单一形式或身份去中心化，从而揭示出经济空间和景观无疑更加多样化、差异化和开放干预。
This course will begin from the proposition that how we think about the economy matters. Economic theory does more than describe the economy, it constitutes and actively shapes it. Dominant economic theories represent the economy as homogenous and singularly capitalist thus precluding imagining and enacting economic difference and experimentation. The course will engage with a variety of research currents across several disciplines that are rethinking economy as a diverse and decentered field rather than a single entity or dominant force. For example, economic geographers and other scholars have recently turned their attention toward “alternative economic spaces” and practices, and have done so by drawing on feminist understandings of the economy, anthropological investigations into non-capitalist economies, sociological re-workings of “the market” as a site of contingency rather than law, and poststructural critiques of “development” which posit that “another production is possible.” These are all endeavors that are working to decenter the economy as a single form or identity, and thereby reveal economic spaces and landscapes as decidedly more diverse, differentiated, and open to intervention.
