Futures - Prospective Money and money's Prospects
Donnerstag, 24. September 2015 bis Samstag, 26. September 2015
The conference brings together multidisciplinary and exploratory perspectives on the nature(s) and future(s) of money. Recent years’ economic crises were financial and monetary crises, caused not by the so‐called real economy and its problems, but by financial exuberance. Recognising money to be more than merely an epiphenomenon, or a simple tool for which functional equivalents could be found, but a medium that actively constitutes our economy and society, then our future must be (also) imagined as a future of money.
In order to trace and prospect the veins and seams of future money/s, our conference engages these prospective moneys and, more broadly, money’s prospects as a whole, by taking stock of today’s money(s), interrogating new – and new old – monetary designs, and genealogically studying past monetary systems.
To attend, please register by 20 September 2015.
