Abstract

Abstract This article details how the influence of financial investment on insurance has produced a morality discourse that provides new insights on a social theory of stigma. Specifically, it examines the Insurance Development Forum (IDF) and the role morality plays in its commitments to climate governance. Initially conceived by political leaders advising on disaster risk reduction at a 2013 UN General Assembly meeting, the IDF recognizes financial institutions, practices, and devices as integral to addressing climate change. Through its activities and investments in an open-access database, insurance has come to shape material claims about the reputational status of people, things, natures, and places. At the heart of the article's analysis is the observation that the organizational structure of the IDF depends on the efficient flow of information to manage the stigma often associated with finance capitalism.

投资的道德

本文详细介绍了金融投资对保险的影响如何产生了一种道德话语，为耻辱的社会理论提供了新的见解。具体而言，它考察了保险发展论坛(IDF)以及道德在其气候治理承诺中发挥的作用。IDF最初是由政治领导人在2013年联合国大会会议上就减少灾害风险提出建议的，它承认金融机构、实践和设备是应对气候变化不可或缺的组成部分。通过其在开放访问数据库中的活动和投资，保险业已经开始形成关于人、物、自然和地方的声誉地位的物质索赔。文章分析的核心是观察到IDF的组织结构依赖于有效的信息流动来管理通常与金融资本主义相关的污名。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
