项目摘要

Although 'financial literacy' has recently become a strategic priority for many governments, there has been little systematic research into the history of popular financial knowledge, or the role of cultural and emotional dimensions of market behaviour in times of economic crisis. The Culture of the Market Network will bring together an international group of intellectual and cultural historians on the one hand and business and economic historians on the other to investigate the particular forms of epistemology, subjectivity and social relations that were created by and that in turn help reconfigure financial capitalism in the long nineteenth century in the United States. A series of four symposia (one in Manchester, one in Harvard, and two via videoconference) will focus on the intersections between culture and economics in nineteenth-century America, a period that offers many insightful parallels to the current moment of crisis in global financial capitalism. The Network will be interdisciplinary and comparative in outlook, promoting interaction between the core group of researchers and invited experts from related fields such as Victorian Britain and present-day Wall Street.The Network will investigate how non-experts learned to make sense of financial information in general and the operations of the stock market in particular in the period. It will do so by focussing on the forms of financial knowledge that they acquired, and the ideological assumptions behind the turn to statistics and forecasting as ways of representing the market. The Network will consider the institutional, rhetorical and psychological mechanisms that helped persuade ordinary people to participate in the stock market, and the role of seemingly non-economic factors such as trust and confidence in shaping market behaviour in the period. It will also showcase research on how global commodity chains helped forge a popular understanding - and distrust - of a globalised market. Finally the Network will explore how popular scepticism about the market and money played out in the political struggles of the era. The research findings of the network will be promoted through a project website that include a blog and a podcast of the proceedings, conference panels, the publication of an edited collection, and journal articles and newspaper journalism.

尽管“金融素养”最近已成为许多政府的战略优先事项，但对大众财务知识的历史或在经济危机时期市场行为的文化和情感维度的作用很少有系统的研究。市场网络的文化将一方面汇集一个国际知识和文化历史学家群，另一方面，商业和经济历史学家一方面研究了由认识论，主观性和社会关系的特定形式，而这又有助于重新配置美国十九世纪在美国长期以来的金融资本主义。一系列四个研讨会（曼彻斯特，哈佛大学，两次是通过视频会议）将重点关注19世纪美国的文化与经济学之间的交集，这一时期为全球金融资本主义的当前危机时刻提供了许多有见地的相似之处。该网络将是跨学科和前景中的比较，促进核心研究人员和来自维多利亚时代英国和当今华尔街等相关领域的邀请专家之间的互动。该网络将研究非专家如何在此期间尤其是在该期间尤其是股票市场的一般股票市场来理解一般的财务信息。它将通过重点关注他们获得的财务知识形式，以及转向统计和预测作为代表市场的方式的意识形态假设的形式。该网络将考虑有助于说服普通百姓参与股票市场的制度，修辞和心理机制，以及看似非经济因素的作用，例如信任和信心在当时塑造市场行为中。它还将展示有关全球商品链如何帮助全球化市场的普遍理解和不信任的研究。最终，该网络将探讨对当时政治斗争中对市场和金钱的欢迎。该网络的研究结果将通过一个项目网站来促进，该网站包括博客和播客，会议小组，编辑收藏的出版以及期刊文章和报纸新闻。
