The Politics of Co-Brokering: Mediation and Affinity in Critical Times

Ligia A. Mihut

Abstract

Current market globalism demands new discourses that capture complex political and economic realities. This article proposesco-brokering, defined as mediation, translation, and circulation of texts as a critical analytic for understanding the formation of informal and formal markets. Co-brokering unveils how writing at the margins galvanizes affinity in discursive formations.
