Recursive in/formality: Time and ideology in a distributed monetary system
Abstract
I argue that in/formality is not a distinction between two qualities, but rather, a distinction of relative position achieved through linguistic and nonlinguistic practices of categorization. Through an analysis of illegal currency trading in Argentina, I show how temporal and ideological dynamics shape the semiotic framing of in/formality in any given context.Anuac is published under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence 4.0.
