Register for upcoming Symposium 22’nd April! “New Capitalism(s) & Violence”

New Capitalism[s]& Violence: Rethinking Harm and Crime under Mutating Market Logics

How do contemporary market logics reshape violence, harm and crime?

Platform economies, gig work, extractive markets, stylized consumer cultures, and criminalized market formations coexist and overlap transnationally. Contemporary scholarship therefore increasingly speaks of multiple capitalisms rather than a singular capitalism. But what do these terms mean?

Join us on 22 April (09:00–16:00) at Campus Paradiset in Lund for the symposium “New Capitalism[s] & Violence”, bringing together international scholars and contributors beyond academia to explore how today’s forms of capitalism produce new configurations of power, precarity and crime.
