A market’s trading screen functions as a shared witnessable situation across continents.
Evidence
What appears necessary today is that we rechart this territory in ways that include distantiated spatial configurations. Some microsociological notions, such as witnessing or situation, would seem to extend naturally to distant realities as long as these realities can be mutually represented to individuals participating in a global situation. — Karin Knorr Cetina & Urs Bruegger, Global Microstructures, 21
