Emil André Røyrvik
About
Based broadly in sociocultural anthropology and interdisciplinary research my work focuses on ethnography and theorizing in the context of moral and political economy, especially capitalism as a social system (including financialization and inequality), professional knowledge work, organizational, managerial and expert cultures, money and measurement, and economic and cultural globalization. Some of my publications include the co-edited collection Trangen til å telle. Objektivering, måling og standardisering som samfunnspraksis (with Tord Larsen, 2017) and the monograph The Allure of Capitalism: An Ethnography of Management and the Global Economy in Crisis (published with Berghahn Books). The Allure book won SINTEF’s award for excellence in research.
