Power and Performativity in the Creation of the UK Fishing-Rights Market

Emma Cardwell

Journal of Cultural Economy, 2015, vol. 8, issue 6, 705-720

Abstract: Judith Butler's work on performativity takes an explicitly Foucauldian approach to politics. The economic performativity literature, in comparison, has been criticised for failing to foreground power. This paper uses a case study of market creation in UK marine fisheries to suggest, after Butler, ways in which a Foucauldian analysis of the exercise of power can inform our understanding of economic performativity.
