The 17th Annual Meetings on Socio-Economics
Budapest, June 30 - July 3, 2005
What Counts? Calculation, Representation, Association

The 17th Annual Meetings on Socio-Economics will be held in Budapest, Hungary from June 30 - July 3, 2005. The meetings will be co-hosted by the Central European University and the Budapest University of Economic Sciences. In addition to the regular panels, open to the richest diversity in themes and methods, the 2005 meetings will include featured speakers and a set of Presidential Choice panels addressing the theme, "What Counts? Calculation, Representation, Association." Faced with a deluge of information, a multiplicity of evaluative principles, and myriad features that could be potentially salient, what is taken into account? What matters, who counts, and with what kinds of measures and metrics? Whereas calculation, representation, and association might conventionally map to the domains of economy, polity, and the civic, we will be as much interested, for example, in representations within the economy, calculations within the civic, and the problem of making associations in politics. In examining how actors navigate multiple orders of worth we will be especially interested in the socio-technologies of making and taking accounts. Because tools count as constitutive parts of the social, they must be brought into our accounts. Tools - instruments, artifacts, numbering sytems, spreadsheets, microphones, monitors, servers, protocols, platforms, podiums, flipcharts, websites, power points, algorithms, maps, models, tabulators, tables - are a part not only of calculative practices but also of public assemblages in politics and civic life. Network analysis, moreover, will be enriched by studying how meetings, mobile phones, and emails mediate social ties. We invite your papers on these and other themes.
