Research Statement: Arnaud Orain's research explores older forms of economic knowledge that were influential before the emergence of "economics" in the 18th century: the dialogical discourse on commerce, economic fictions, the "oeconomy", and the alchemical science. The issue is to study genres and methods rather than schools and theories in order to rethink a field in crisis.
