OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Value and violence in the making of Ukraine’s war economy
How does a war economy come into being? This talk builds on my on-going research with Ukrainian combatants and military crowdfunding activists along the transnational value chains of the Russo-Ukrainian war. I interrogate how my interlocutors’ experiences of life-destroying violence structure their understandings and calculation of worth and obligation in the orbit of war. I argue that on Ukraine’s frontlines, militants narrate and contest the war ‘economy’ as both a totality of value relations organised in the service of violence; and a calculative, relational frame for reckoning what people owe each other and their nation at war.
