Dr Emily Rosamond

Emily Rosamond is a writer and artist. Her current work explores character, reputation and personality as speculative logics of networked personhood in social media and finance. She serves as Associate Editor of Finance and Society, and Advisory Board member of Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory.

Emily is working on a monograph on online reputation. Her recent writings have explored topics such as financial volatility, financialization and culture, character in social impact investing, YouTube personalities as platform infrastructure, networked desire on social media platforms, and the 'post-truth' condition in art and culture.

Emily currently serves as Director of Research for Visual Cultres. She teaches on a range of subjects, including performance art, contemporary art theory, social media, art and financialization, and digital and data publics.

Teaching and Supervision

I teach on a wide range of topics across Visual Cultures BA programmes, including digital and data publics, online platform cultures, performance art, conceptual art, financialization, and art markets. My MA Contemporary Art Theory special subject explores the entanglements of performance with infrastructures in various senses (eg. financial, digital, relational). I welcome PhD proposals.

Research interests

My research often explores unexpected connections between theories of financialization, literary character, contemporary art, performance, and algorithmic governmentality. I am currently working on a monograph, Reputation Warfare: Contested Credibility in Online Platforms, which explores how platforms amplify changes in the perceived value of people’s reputations. I argue that online platforms’ quantification of reputations – and amplification of conflicts about their value – inaugurates new forms of reputation volatility, which are reshaping culture, politics and public debate.

Other recent writings have explored YouTube personalities as platform infrastructure (Distinktion, 2023), volatility in finance, art and culture (Finance and Society, 2023), the implications of social impact investing for socially engaged art practices (Finance and Society, 2016) and in relation to literary theories of character (Journal of Cultural Economy, 2020); post-truth as bullying (in Fabricating Publics, Data Browser book series, Open Humanities Press, 2021); financialization, subjectivity and culture (in Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism: Critical Debates, Philosophy and Politics book series, Springer); online dating platforms and assetized selves (Journal of Aesthetics & Culture, 2018); reputation and character in the entrepreneurial imaginary (Paragrana, 2016); and represented selfhood in the surveillance performances of SWAMP, Hasan Elahi and Erica Scourti (International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media, 2015).

My art practice spans performance, painting, sculpture, writing, drawing, sound and video. It often involves experiments in inhabiting personas through intense engagements with materials. My ongoing project (exhibited in Semio-Technical Traffics, SixtyEight Art Institute, Copenhagen, 2020), explores the oracular mode of address in prediction-rich environments, rife with biological and technological signalling systems.
