Difference between revisions of "Joining the Global Informality Project"

Most materials are available in the printed version, The [[Download the Global Encyclopaedia of Informality|Global Encyclopaedia of Informality]], Volumes 1 and 2, published by the UCL Press in the FRINGE series in 2018 in open access. The Encyclopaedia is structured to represent informal practices in all forms of human interaction: re-distribution, solidarity, market exchange and domination, and to highlight the correspondent types of ambivalence: substantive, normative, functional and motivational ambivalence (more information is available [[Theoretical Framing of the Database|here]]). Since the publication of the first two volumes, the collection continues to grow and will now develop into the third volume of the Encyclopaedia. While a focus on open secrets and unwritten rules will remain an aim of the Encyclopaedia, Volume 3 will catalogue informal practices associated with tensions around '''gender, age, ethnicity''' and '''religion''' and that question our ability to categorise clearly. To explore further patterns of ambivalence, we particularly, but not exclusively, welcome contributions from the following fields: social psychology (in particular practices capturing the '''emotional''' ambivalence), gender studies (practices of '''sexual/gender''' ambivalence), religious studies (practices that embody '''religious/ethnic''' ambivalence), and possibly, the occult ('''magical''' practices). We will be interested in the colloquial names of such practices and the contexts in which they are recognised, articulated and performed.
