Abstract
Although social embeddedness is an important and enduring aspect of markets, markets are also increasingly embedded in text—by which I mean alpha-numeric characters that stand in for phonetic spoken language. In this piece, I explore how text and textual thinking is an important precursor to certain forms of exchange behavior, mediates the market, and impedes or facilitates exchange. Looking at the affordances of text and textuality, I consider the ways that text orients the social practices critical to market exchange through its archival and public nature.

期刊介绍:
The AMS Review is positioned to be the premier journal in marketing that focuses exclusively on conceptual contributions across all sub-disciplines of marketing. It publishes articles that advance the development of market and marketing theory.The AMS Review is receptive to different philosophical perspectives and levels of analysis that range from micro to macro. Especially welcome are manuscripts that integrate research and theory from non-marketing disciplines such as management, sociology, economics, psychology, geography, anthropology, or other social sciences. Examples of suitable manuscripts include those incorporating conceptual and organizing frameworks or models, those extending, comparing, or critically evaluating existing theories, and those suggesting new or innovative theories. Comprehensive and integrative syntheses of research literatures (including quantitative and qualitative meta-analyses) are encouraged, as are paradigm-shifting manuscripts.Manuscripts that focus on purely descriptive literature reviews, proselytize research methods or techniques, or report empirical research findings will not be considered for publication. The AMS Review does not publish manuscripts focusing on practitioner advice or marketing education.
