Abstract
What happens when a world turns, when the very fabric of institutions, practices and the norms that sustains them shifts from one register to another? What are we to make of the tearing of a fabric that once bound lives and regions to a stabilized, hegemonic, economic regime? And precisely how is such a regime deterritorialized and recomposed, giving new meaning or opportunities to some and wreaking havoc on the lives and livelihoods of others? How are post-socialist economic subjects and spaces produced and how are we to understand the processes of recombination that restructure these subjects, spaces and the regional economic systems of which they are a part?
