Nature-Made Economy: Cod, Capital, and the Great Economization of the Ocean<\/h2>\n

The ocean is the site of an ongoing transformation that is aimed at creating new economic opportunities and prosperity. In Nature-Made Economy, Kristin Asdal<\/a> and Tone Huse<\/a> explore how the ocean has been harnessed to become a space of capital investment and innovation, and how living nature is wrested into the economy even as nature, in turn, resists, adapts to, or changes the economy. The authors’ innovative methodological and conceptual approaches examine the economy by focusing on surprising and numerous \u201clittle tools\u201d\u2014such as maps and policy documents, quality patrols, and dietary requirements for the enhancement of species’ biological propensities\u2014that value, direct, reorder, accomplish, and sometimes fail to serve our ends, but also add up to great change.<\/p>\n

Throughout Nature-Made Economy, Asdal and Huse follow one species, the Atlantic cod, and explore how it is subjected to different versions of economization. Taking this species as a point of departure, they then provide novel analyses of the innovation economy, the architecture of markets, the settling of prices, and more, revealing how the ocean is rendered a space of intense economic exploitation. Through their analysis, the authors develop a distinct theoretical approach and conceptual vocabulary for studying nature\u2013economy relations.<\/p>\n

Nature-Made Economy is a significant contribution to the broad field of STS and social studies of markets, as well as to studies of the Anthropocene, the environment, and human\u2013animal relations.<\/p>\n

After a presentation of the book by one of the authors, Kristin Asdal, Cornelius Heimst\u00e4dt will moderate the discussion.<\/p>\n

This event is part of the public lecture series \u2018High-Tech Valorization of Nature: (Re)Production, Technology and Politics in Green Capitalist Projects\u2019 hosted by the BioMaterialities Research Group at Humboldt University Berlin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
