The Syllabus @the-syllabus.bsky.social · 4d

Reviving Adorno's critique of the standardization of music, our article of the week reads streaming as a turn from Fordist production to financialized platforms where music is assetized and homogenized.

Based on our recent article in @finandsoc.bsky.social, we wrote a piece for @theconversation.com titled 'from art to assets' on how music does indeed sound all the same nowadays - and the role of streaming platforms in this process 😎

From art form to asset: our study found popular songs are becoming more generic

It’s largely down to the demands of streaming services.

This will produce an extraordinary amount of waste, duplication and lack of transparency. To understand why it is crucial to understand what VC dynamics are and what their aims are. See my @finandsoc.bsky.social article here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The attempt to financialize psychedelics has collided with the unruliness of these substances both as therapeutic assets and as vectors of cultural resistance. Our article of the week traces the rise and fall of commercial psychedelics.

"There is no longer any depth, no longer any subtext either. The entire history of economic life is pushed up to the surface, leaving nothing behind for it to hide. It is this profound superficiality that now rules."

Amin Samman @aminsamman.bsky.social · 22d

What is the relation between obscenity and the financial? I take up this question in my new piece, inspired by Noam Yuran's recently published book on The Sexual Economy of Capitalism. Both should make for a titillating read!

What shapes fossil-fuel investment decisions?
What are pension funds’ climate considerations?
And how does the portfolio risk concept influence these issues?

Excited to see my paper "The dark side of diversification: Passive finance and fossil-fuel investment" published in @finandsoc.bsky.social!
