ABSTRACT

As financial transactions are increasingly digitized, old and new kinds of intermediaries are only expanding in importance. Intermediaries, mediators and brokers sit at critical junctures and operate between diverse financial arenas and pathways. We argue that mapping the intermediate entails identifying how different kinds of actors—human and non-human, objects and interfaces, institutions and practices—delimit or reify but also stitch together and overcome spatial and temporal differences in people's financial lives, while taking on varying burdens of risk. Mapping the intermediate is both an empirical and methodological exercise. Empirically, it requires following the agents and traders, brokers and material objects that facilitate transactions and add, extract, or re-work different kinds of value. Methodologically, intermediaries and the intermediate are not only the objects of analysis but act as analytical tools in their own right, making the process and politics of transactions visible and tangible. Attending to the intermediate in our inquiries around money, currency and new digital financial technologies, thereby, offers new directions for grounding finance in politics and history and better connecting micro and macro and local and global economic processes.

绘制中间图:货币和价值的现成技术

摘要

随着金融交易越来越数字化,新旧中介机构的重要性在不断扩大。中介机构,调解员和经纪人处于关键时刻,并在不同的金融领域和途径之间运作。我们认为映射中间人需要确定不同类型的行为者(人类和非人类,对象和界面,机构和实践)如何界定或具体化,但又可以缝合在一起并克服人们财务生活中的时空差异,同时承担不同的责任风险负担。绘制中间图既是经验主义的方法论练习。从经验上讲,它需要遵循促进交易并增加,提取或重做各种价值的代理商和贸易商,经纪人和重要对象。从方法上讲 中间人和中间人不仅是分析的对象,而且本身就是分析工具,使交易的过程和政治清晰可见。参加有关货币,货币和新数字金融技术的咨询中的中间环节,从而为在政治和历史上扎根金融,更好地将微观与宏观以及本地与全球经济流程联系起来提供了新的方向。
