Paper long abstract:
During the last decades, an increasing digitalisation has given rise to numerous new payment methods or what Tkacz (2019) calls an “appification” of money, consumption and services. Technological innovations are affecting money practices but not always in predictable ways, nor for reasons expected. People invent their own systems and ways of using, organising and making distinctions among monies.
How do people use and understand money in contemporary society? Here we will present a preliminary analysis of the answers to the questionnaire “How would you like to pay? Cash, cards and other money” (2021) sent out from the The Folklife Archives, Lund University.
