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“金融知识”最近已成为许多政府的战略重点，但很少有人系统研究流行金融知识的历史，或经济危机时期市场行为的文化和情感层面的作用。市场文化网络将把一个由知识和文化历史学家以及商业和经济史学家组成的国际团体聚集在一起，研究由美国在漫长的19世纪创造并帮助重新配置金融资本主义的认识论、主观性和社会关系的特殊形式。四个系列的研讨会(一个在曼彻斯特，一个在哈佛，两个通过视频会议)将聚焦于19世纪美国文化和经济之间的交集，这一时期提供了许多与当前全球金融资本主义危机时刻的深刻相似之处。该网络将是跨学科和可比性的，促进核心研究人员小组与相关领域(如维多利亚时代的英国和当今的华尔街)的特邀专家之间的互动。该网络将调查非专家如何学习理解一般的金融信息，特别是在这一时期股票市场的运作。它将通过关注他们获得的金融知识的形式，以及转向统计和预测作为代表市场的方式背后的意识形态假设来实现这一点。该网络将考虑帮助说服普通人参与股市的制度、修辞和心理机制，以及看似非经济因素在塑造这一时期的市场行为方面的作用，如信任和信心。它还将展示有关全球大宗商品链如何帮助形成人们对全球化市场的普遍理解和不信任的研究。最后，该网络将探索大众对市场和金钱的怀疑如何在那个时代的政治斗争中发挥作用。该网络的研究成果将通过一个项目网站进行宣传，该网站包括会议记录的博客和播客、会议小组、编辑过的文集的出版以及期刊文章和报纸新闻。
