Abstract

From a social studies of marketization perspective this paper deals with the commodification of wild horses. It tackles with three questions: How are (wild) animals commodified in markets? How are lively commodities being valued and priced? How does the liveliness of the commodity influence the processes of marketization and vice versa how is the animal affected by being handled as a commodity? I draw on Haraway’s concept of encounter value and develop the idea of companionability as core concepts guiding the analysis.
