“…Several recent studies of market innovation have noted that the reframings that are done do not always reach their promoters' objectives. They underlined that agencing markets was a process that some actors did not master and might be contested by resisting or circumventing devices established by other parties (Hébert 2014;Cochoy, Trompette, and Araujo 2016;Geiger and Gross 2018). In our opinion, an additional explanation for these failures is to be sought in the lock-ins and constraints imposed by the socio-technical arrangements in place.…”

“…Identifying and criticising overflowing, that is to say, elements that the existing framings fail to take account of (environmental pollution, farm poverty, exclusion of poor consumers, etc. ), are the raison d'être for establishing new framings and thus markets (Geiger et al 2014;Geiger and Gross 2018). Yet, whilst these works describe in fine detail the creation of new attachments, they fail for all that to explain how the actors detach themselves or are detached from the existing agencements.…”

“…Highlighting instances of overflowing, as fair trade activists do when they call for fair payments for small farmers, boils down to challenging the framings that have been done. In other words, the introduction of new "concerns" leads their proponents to contest the stability of the existing market agencements (Geiger et al 2014;Geiger and Gross 2018).…”

The aim of this article is to show the relevance of the sociology of market agencements (an offshoot of actor-network theory) for studying the creation of alternative agri-food networks. The authors start with their finding that most research into alternative agri-food networks takes a strictly informative, cursory look at the conditions under which these networks are gradually created. They then explain how the sociology of market agencements analyzes the construction of innovative markets and how it can be used in agri-food studies. The relevance of this theoretical frame is shown based on an experiment aimed at creating a local trade scheme between manure from livestock farms and alfalfa grown by grain farmers. By using the concepts of the sociology of market agencements, the authors reveal the operations that are required to create an alternative agri-food network and underscore the difficulties that attend each one of these operations. This enables them to see the phenomena of lock-ins and sociotechnical transition in a new light.

“…These moral orders remain sticky, persisting even after new sociomaterial arrangements begin to generate new market norms. The resulting story is one of temporary stability, overflow, contestation and reframing (Geiger and Gross, 2018).…”

How ‘matter matters’ for morality: The case of a stock exchange

While matter clearly matters to organization theory, its absence from the study of organizational ethics is striking. Despite the obdurate materiality of the workplace, critical scholarship on organizations and morality sees ethics as interpersonal, subjective and embodied. Organizations, meanwhile, are characterized by moral anomie and dysfunction. This article advances our understanding of the material entanglements of organizational morality, drawing on the science and technology studies inflected study of markets to show how moral orders arise in dialectic between the social and the material. It argues that moral orders are entangled in the material infrastructures of organizations. Its empirical case is the founding and development of a small-company focused stock exchange, OFEX, launched in London in 1995, accessed through elite interviews and documentary work. The article seeks to develop our understanding of morality in critical organization studies, to further defend the Weberian notion of ‘ethics of office’ by emphasizing the sociomaterial dimension of organizational morality, and to contribute to an ongoing renaissance of the study of morality as a sociological phenomenon. There are implications for managers and engaged scholars alike.
