چکیده انگلیسی:
This paper explores the relationship between accounting, standardisation and politics through the case of a
protest surrounding Manchester’s carbon accountability. Responding to critiques that literature on the relation
between accounting and politics tends to overlook silences and fundamental disagreements surrounding the
‘uncounted’, this paper mobilises the political thinking of Jacques Ranci`ere. In doing so, it joins an emerging
body of literature considering accounting in relation to pluralism and difference. Ranci`ere’s political thought
provides a way to consider the limits of consensus on what should count, the subjectivity in how we count, who is
able to make things count, and how particular regimes of counting are sustained and disrupted. Empirically, this
paper considers the City of Manchester’s carbon accounts and targets at the time of their 2010 Stakeholder
Conference and an activist attempt to declare Manchester Airport as the ‘elephant in the room’. It draws upon
interviews with policymakers, activists, experts and accountants working in Manchester. Mobilising Ranci`ere’s
notion of postdemocracy, I demonstrate how the consensus around standardisation is used to depoliticise dis-
agreements on what emissions should ‘count’ and conclude by offering reflection on how repoliticisation might
occur.
