Rendering visible is an act that pertains equally to social scientific research and to the politics ofmaking finance public. Methodologically, the question how to “follow” money, credit and financialclaims in order to understand the processes of financialization has been a key issue in social studies offinance, international political economy, economic geography and cultural sociology. But the questionof how to make finance visible as an object of social scientific research is tightly linked to a politicalact of generating publics for finance: How can financial relations become a common “matter ofconcern” is a political as much as it is a methodological question – for financial relations and ecologiesof everyday life often elude experience of users and citizens. In addition, the question of “makingpublic” has assumed another layer of meaning for it is tied to the current modes of governing financialinvestments for the purpose of halting and addressing climate change. Again, the modes of knowingare crucial for these endeavors: Indicators, risk assessments, valuation models are used to governfinance in order to turn private investments into public effects. In all respects, the question of makingpublic is linked to the methodological concern of how to make visible.
