	abstract = "This paper advocates the application to global finance of one of the central heuristics of science studies: open the black box. Black boxes are devices, practices, or organizations that are opaque to outsiders, often because their contents are regarded as `technical'. The goal of opening black boxes is to discover how they are kept opaque; how they structure their `contexts'; and how those contexts are inscribed within them. Four types of black box in finance are discussed: option pricing theory; arbitrage; `ethnoaccountancy'; and regulation. The limitations of the opening of black boxes as an oppositional strategy are also discussed.",
