Ambivalent Finance and Protected Labour: Alternative Investments and Labour Management in Australia
This chapter highlights two contradictory trends. Successive federal governments have attempted to create a favourable regulatory environment for financial institutions, including NIFs, through a series of general (reform of the financial market regulation) and specific (tax breaks for venture capital and investment fund capital gains) regulatory initiatives. At the same time, the mix of corporate
Behövs förläggare? Och vad gör de egentligen? Några historiska perspektiv på utgivningsproblematiken och dess framtid
Presentationen ger en inblick i bokutgivningens historia, och beskriver den förändring som begreppet förlag har genomgått. Relationen mellan teknik och ekonomi tas upp, och kopplas till frågor om den föreställningsvärld som omgärdar författare, böcker och litteratur.
Putting into question the imaginary of recovery: a dialectical reading of the global financial crisis and its aftermath
In this article, we put into question the discourses that emerged during the global financial crisis (GFC) and that coalesced around a particular socio-economic imaginary of ‘recovery’ over the period 2009–2012. Our reading of these discourses is very much guided by the notion of the dialectic as developed by Fredric Jameson, and as such this paper can be read as an attempt to put his theoretical

Borders to digital nomadism, reflections based on science driven mobility
Current literature describes digital nomadism as an interesting for tourism research but a relatively exclusive social phenomenon (Chevtaeva & Denizci-Guillet, 2021; Thompson, 2019). Digital nomads are self-employed people with a mobile lifestyle made possible by digital work. Based on that description, it would seem like a research field with limited societal significance. However, the call f

Dirty soil and clean consciences : Examining communication of contaminated soil
The identification and remediation of contaminated sites in Europe is a continuous undertaking that includes different aspects. There are many variables to take into consideration such as the nature of the contaminants, the risks they pose, the location of the site and possible future usages. Also, possible negative effects on the local residents or the environment have to be considered. Within th

Corporate populism: How corporations construct and represent ‘the people’ in political contestations
Business implications of the recent surge in populism in societal and academic discourse have been relatively neglected. This is surprising, considering that corporations provide financial support (e.g., donations and political action committees), intellectual resources (e.g., think tanks and public relations firms) and informational channels (e.g., social media platforms) that populist parties an

Hope Versus Experience: Career Ambition and the Labour Market Expectations of University Educated Women
Studies that consider the position of women in the Australian labour market have consistently demonstrated evidence of unequal outcomes between men and women. A number of structural and behavioural explanations have been advanced for the continued existence of this gender inequality. This article contributes to the supply-side debate with a study of the labour market expectations of women. Questio
