DESCRIPTION:Oliver Ibert\, Jana M. Kleibert Leibniz Institute for Researc
 h on Society and Space (Erkner)\n\nSeminar hosted by the Global Producti
 on Networks\, Trade and Labour Research Group\n\nGlobalized production a
 rrangements have been theorized as driven by three crucial dynamics: cos
 t-capability ratio\, market development\, and financial discipline. In o
 ur presentation\, we suggest the addition of a fourth driver of ‘symboli
 c value construction’ that is important for understanding spatial and or
 ganizational risk management strategies in globalized production process
 es. The construction of symbolic value depends on practices of associati
 on (enhancing symbolic value by linking commodities with entities that r
 epresent some form of positive value) and dissociation (weakening or obs
 curing negative links to that commodity). Using the global fur-fashion c
 omplex as empirical example\, we show how a dissociation lens can provid
 e important new insights and complement existing GPN 2.0 research. \n
