Market Studies scholars have adopted a wide range of methods to explore how markets are made and shaped, ranging from traditional ethnographic and netnographic approaches (see, for example, Fernandes, Mason and Chakrabarti 2019; Palmer, Simmons and Mason 2014), to interviews and observations (Mason, Friesl and Ford 2019; Onyas and Ryan 2015) and the use of big data (Komljenovic and Robertson, 2016). Despite advances in our understanding of markets generated using these methods, studying markets as distributed, fragmented, multi-site and multi-actor institutions continues to present significant challenges (Hyysalo, Pollock and Williams 2019). These challenges cut across all stages of the research process: from the relationships researchers build with research participants, to the design and deployment of empirical methodological toolkits to collect and make sense of market and market-making data. One way of overcoming these challenges has been for researchers to reconceptualize methods as enabling tools: enabling researchers to identify, uncover and unfold market dynamics and the socio-material arrangements that perform them.
