Abstract
Markets usually stand by themselves, unquestioned and considered as naturally existing phenomena: The analysis of markets supersedes the investigation of how they come into existence. While such a perspective on markets is prevalent in neoclassical economics, critical political economics, economic sociology, and most chain and network approaches, it is rejected by scholars working in the social studies of markets or marketization (Çalışkan, Callon 2010, 2009). In this growing scholarly field, both the “performativity” lens (Fligstein, Dauter 2007: 120; Fourcade 2007: 1026) and Deleuzian-inspired assemblage thinking (Deleuze, Guattari 1987) have gained strong momentum as explanatory building blocks for the study of market emergence.
