Isi artikel

This article envisions insurance through the ways in which it comes to inhabit the dailiness of people’s lives. Insurance is usually constituted as a technology of risk. Rather than holding risk and insurance to the bare provisions of finance and financial forms, this article tangles with the affective attachments that grow out of insurance technologies. It investigates the place of these attachments (insurance fantasies) and the intimacies that effloresce from these attachments.
