iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Inequality is coded as something unavoidable by neoclassical economics - natural, neutral, to be observed like the laws of physics. Yet the mask of technical neutrality is itself a moral choice.

Dear Colleagues, On behalf my co-organisers, I am writing to invite abstract submissions for the ‘Re-centring land conflicts in the post-globalisation order’ mini-conference (MC11) as part of the SASE 2026 Conference in Bordeaux (1-3 July). sase.org/events/2026-... Deadline: December 16th

In this mini-conference, we are seeking to have a critical debate about land struggles over sovereignty, resources and means of survival. We are inviting folks to submit abstracts (no more than 1000 words) which raise land as the main object of analysis of power in a ‘post-globalisation order’. By seeking to re-centre the Land Question in contemporary socio and political economic debate and scholarship, we aim to illuminate how land and the power it confers shape institutions, create and mediate conflicts, and determine possibilities for both domination and resistance in an era marked by ecological crisis and geopolitical realignment.

We are particularly interested in hearing about research which speaks to one of our key themes:

1. Land conflicts and new imperialisms
2. Extractivism and resource conflicts
3. Digital infrastructure and the material internet
4. Institutions and power in the regulation of land
5. Consequences of urban and rural land concentration
6. Land rent and heterodox economics

We likely wouldn't be collectively very well off, as some of this extra surplus value is captured not only as rent by property-owners, but also by industries trading in interest-bearing capital. Still, the global housing crisis reflects this surplus transfer to rentier classes.

'As with all concepts picked up by many traditions, there is a risk that it loses some of its original meaning in the process of transmission. There is also a risk that the link between theory&politics can be weakened or even torn apart.'

In the UK, we're beginning to understand what happens when private equity owns water companies and public infrastructures, supermarkets, chemists and care homes, but check out what happens when they own and partner with insurance companies. on.ft.com/4kd077o via @FT
