| Tiivistelmä: | The concept of market information is addressed here. Particularly, it is argued that references to the so-called conduit metaphor, which represents markets as a series of information flows, hide the localized, historically contingent and materially mediated practices of the economy. Following the tradition of the performative theory of social institutions, the paper argues that the specific meaning of market information and its concrete manifestations (e.g. prices) depend on the socio-technical character of the calculative practices through which market participants orient their economic actions. |
