摘要

In this paper I rehearse the thinking steps J. K Gibson-Graham developed in order to theorize diverse economies and reveal a landscape of economic difference. Reading with and against Clifford Geertz's 1973 essay "Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture," I discuss how "thick description" of diverse economic practices can be combined with weak theory to produce a performative rethinking of economy centered on the well-being of people and the planet. I discuss the difficulties of resisting the influence of "strong theory"-that is, powerful discourses that organize events into understandable and seemingly predictable trajectories. I outline the diverse economy, a reframing that allows for a much wider range of social relations to be seen to bear on economic practices including, to name just some, trust, care,sharing, reciprocity, cooperation, coercion, bondage, thrift, guilt, love, equity, self-exploitation, solidarity, distributive justice, stewardship, spiritual connection, and environmental and social justice. In the complexly overdetermined field of a diverse economy, we are invited to trace multiple dynamics at play. It is in the apprehension of these diverse determinations that ethnographic thick description comes into its own and leads the way toward rethinking the economy. For ethnographers today, no task is more important than to make small facts speak to large concerns, to make the ethical acts ethnography describes into a performative ontology of economy and the threads of hope that emerge into stories of everyday revolution.

K Gibson-Graham)提出的思维步骤,以理论化各种经济并揭示经济差异的格局。阅读和反对克利福德·盖茨(Clifford Geertz)1973年的文章“浓厚的描述:走向文化的解释性理论”,我讨论了如何将各种经济实践的“浓厚的描述”与薄弱的理论相结合,以产生基于福利的经济性反思。人与地球。我讨论了抵抗“强理论”的影响的困难,强理论是将事件组织成可以理解和看似可预测的轨迹的强大话语。我概述了多样化的经济,这种改革允许人们将广泛的社会关系视为对经济惯例的影响,包括信任,关怀,分享,互惠,合作,胁迫,束缚,节俭,负罪感等。 ,爱,公平,自我开发,团结,分配正义,管理权,精神联系以及环境和社会正义。在多样化经济中复杂的,不确定性高的领域中,我们受邀追踪多种动态。正是由于对这些不同决定的理解,民族志详尽的描述才得以应用,并为重新思考经济指明了方向。对于当今的民族志学家而言,没有什么比使小的事实讲出大的关注,使民族志学描述的伦理行为成为经济的执行本体论以及希望的线索渗透到日常革命的故事中更重要的了。
