Will Davies article published: 'When is a market not a market?'
A new article, , written by of CIM, has been published in Theory Culture and Society.
In this paper, I outline one strand in a genealogy of ‘liveness’, exploring the role of media in its emergence as a privileged spatio-temporal organization of experience. In order to consider the opportunities afforded by current developments in ‘live methods’ I then explore some of the implications for sociology of not simply studying practices of mediation but of inhabiting media, of in medias res. Here I propose an amphibious sociology, for the potential it offers sociology to deploy methods reflexively in more than one medium, contrasting the methods of making middles to the methods of establishing measures of representativeness, and exploring the opportuni- ties and pitfalls of participation, or being in the middle.
