Abstract

This issue of ATR considers numerous instances in which economic historians and historians of capitalism have turned to architecture as evidence of the workings of economic and financial systems. This collective position paper stems from the attempt to engage more directly with these disciplines; an attempt that was first manifested in the symposium “Built Orders of Finance, Risk and Racial Capitalism,” held online in early 2022. How are built orders shaped by processes of financialization, actuarial calculations of risk and the conditions of racial capitalism? How do built orders mobilize specific economic regimes? What kinds of evidence can be enlisted to discern the constitutive relationships established and maintained between architecture and regimes of finance? What scales are implied in these relationships? What is involved in their historicization? This article invites future conversations between the fields of scholarship it canvases to more comprehensively apprehend the terms, conditions, and histories of financialized space.

摘要

本期ATR考虑了许多经济历史学家和资本主义历史学家转向建筑作为经济和金融体系运作的证据的例子。这份集体立场文件源于尝试更直接地参与这些学科；这一尝试首次体现在 2022 年初在线举行的“金融、风险和种族资本主义的构建秩序”研讨会上。金融化过程如何塑造构建秩序，风险的精算计算和种族资本主义的条件？已建成的秩序如何调动特定的经济制度？什么样的证据可以用来辨别建筑和金融制度之间建立和维持的构成关系？这些关系中隐含了哪些尺度？它们的历史化涉及什么？本文邀请未来在其研究的学术领域之间进行对话，以更全面地理解金融化空间的条款、条件和历史。
