Hann, Louisa. "The horrors of capitalism in Reza Abdoh’s The Law of Remains (1991)." Horror Studies 14, no. 1 (April 1, 2023): 101–18. http://dx.doi.org/10.1386/host_00064_1.
Full textAbstract:
Reza Abdoh’s The Law of Remains (1991) is a play replete with violence, cruelty, murder and gore. While many critics view the playwright’s horror-inflected plays as reflective of an Artaudian philosophy that attempts to uncover the essential human ‘truth’ underlying societal ills, I view The Law of Remains as an exercise in dialectical horror. That is, a play that harnesses the grammar of gore and excess to critique capitalism’s disempowering and rapacious qualities while highlighting how consciousness of such qualities could galvanize positive opposition to oppression. In this article, I examine some of the play’s key moments of horror through a Marxist lens to uncover an anti-capitalist structure of feeling that lay in stark opposition to dominant neo-liberal forces in the early 1990s.

Full textAbstract:
This essay reviews two theoretical books on neoliberalism written by Mexican cultural critics: Capitalismo gore (Gore Capitalism), by Sayak Valencia, published originally in Spanish in 2010 and translated into English in 2018, and La tiranía del sentido común ( The Tyranny of Common Sense) by Irmgard Emmelhainz, published in Spanish in 2016 and yet to be translated into English. These works are pioneering in their discussion of the correlation between neoliberalism, subjectivity, and culture in Mexico, and they have become widely influential in broader discussions of art, visual culture, literature, and cultural production. They add to the work of economic and political historians, such as Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo and María Eugenia Romero Sotelo, by connecting landmark moments in neoliberalization (from the financialization of the global economy in the 1970s to the War on Drugs in the 2000s) to changing paradigms in art. Author Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado contextualizes both books within larger discussions of Mexican cultural neoliberalism and describes the theoretical frame works through which both authors read Mexican politics, art, and popular culture. In Valencia's case, Sánchez Prado discusses her idea of “gore capitalism”: a framework for understanding how neoliberalism relies on dynamics of the shadow economy and on the subjectification of gore (what Valencia calls endriago subjectivity) to function at the social and artistic levels. In the case of Emmelhainz, Sánchez Prado engages with the author's idea of semiocapitalism, a term borrowed from theorist Franco “Bifo” Berardi, which Emmelhainz deploys to account for the interrelation between culture and capital in the era of neoliberalism. As such, Sánchez Prado argues, Emmelhainz and Valencia provide ways of reading artistic and visual production, including museum curatorship and narcocultura, in ways that show their organic relationship to neoliberal economic and political reforms.

In 2022, the cyber hell unfolds in South Korea. In a situation where the web hard cartel and welcome to video cases could not be properly resolved, a network of Nth Room Case-Digital Prison-Illegal Gambling Site was formed. Along with this, Hacklers and cybe-wreckers are indiscriminately making money by making sacrifices for people. This is also in line with the generational change of the gangster culture. This essay analyzes the political and economic background that led to the opening of this ‘cyber hell’ and the problem of subjectivity formed therein. To this end, it borrows Sayak Valencia's concept of gore capitalism and names the system in which violence becomes a mode of accumulating wealth in the digital media field as digital gore capitalism, and the masculinity formed as Gore Masculinity. In this case, gore masculinity refers to the concept of appropriating the subject of Endriago in Valencia's assertion to fit the Korean situation, and it refers to the use of marginalized masculinity as a resource while justifying violence. The key here is that there are consumers who consume violence, and there is an online misogyny culture at the birth of such consumers. Finally, this paper introduces the discussion of Trans Feminism as an alternative ethics to gore masculinity.

Full textAbstract:
This article creates a dialogue between the necropolitical practices exercised by the drug dealers in the Mexican narco B-movie El juego final by Oscar López (2014) and the adherence of the characters to the neoliberal dogma through the analytic tools of gore capitalism (Valencia, 2010). It analyses the capitalization of death and violence by the cartels and their transformation in resources that enable the hyperconsumption promoted by narcoculture and by its aesthetics of ostentation. The article also suggests that the participation of the main character to the economy of death for surviving purposes in a precarious labor market is another type of integration of the neoliberal values that is opposed to the exuberant demonstrations of wealth, considering in both cases the use of murder as a cultural paradigm that mediates the relationships between the neoliberal subjects in the informal narco economy. Finally, it puts forward the idea that the videohome narco-cinema industry itself also participates to the gore capitalism that is shown in the plots by converting narcoviolence in a theme for entertainment that attracts the audiences and by displaying said violence with an economy of resources that allows its profitability. Este artículo pone a dialogar las prácticas necropolíticas ejercidas por los narcotraficantes en la narcopelícula mexicana de serie B El juego final, de Oscar López (2014), con la adhesión de los personajes al dogma neoliberal a través de las herramientas de análisis del capitalismo gore (Valencia, 2010). Se analiza la capitalización de la muerte y de la violencia por los cárteles y su transformación en recurso que posibilita el hiperconsumo promovido por la narcocultura y por su estética de la ostentación. También se propone pensar la participación del personaje principal en la economía de la muerte por motivos de supervivencia en un mundo laboral precarizado como otro tipo de integración de los valores neoliberales que se contrapone a las manifestaciones exuberantes de riqueza, considerando en ambos casos el uso del asesinato como paradigma cultural que media las relaciones entre los sujetos neoliberales de la economía informal narco. Se sugiere finalmente que la industria del narcocine videohome en sí también participa del capitalismo gore que se muestra en sus tramas narrativas al convertir la narcoviolencia en tema de entretenimiento que atrae a las audiencias y al poner en escena dicha violencia con una economía de recursos que permite su rentabilidad.

Full textAbstract:
The theatrical oeuvre of Reza Abdoh has been lauded for its reinvigoration of the avantgarde, its formal and political daring and its astute commentary about the violence of the HIV virus (Fordyce, Carlson, Mufson, Bell). More recently, Abdoh’s work has been taken up as a commentary on neoliberalism—in part because of its politicization of bricolage and pastiche, recalling the more radical possibilities of theorizations of scholars such as Frederic Jameson (Zimmerman). Others have called out the modes by which Abdoh expanded the possibilities of queerness in the early 1990s. Yet no scholar has commented on Abdoh’s engagement of eschatology as a mode of historiography. That is the purpose of this essay. It is under this rubric, rather than an idea of generic postmodern milieu, that I read the multiple and discordant temporalities in Abdoh’s performances. While drawing on theories of the necropolitical (Mbembe) and gore capitalism (Valencia) in relation to conceptions of queer eschatology and capitalist violence, my inquiry emerges from consideration of the structural and theoretical aspects of the art works (“object’s”) themselves. I consider how Father Was a Peculiar Man (1990), performed in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan, exemplifies the historiographical possibilities of performance through its embodiment of an eschatological vision of the world in which the gender binary is performatively undone.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This article elaborates a concept of localization through interpreting key arguments in Colombian philosopher Santiago Castro-Gómez’s early works grouped by the author under the name “genealogies of coloniality.” Following the role localization in his genealogies of coloniality reveals what Castro-Gómez calls “heterarchic articulations.” Heterarchic articulations delineate an analytic model of power that traces how multiple technologies and formations of power operating at different levels, from colonial geopolitics to individual “corpopolitics” of desire, converge and configure radically localized processes of subjectivation. Localization understood in these terms, the author argues, allows Castro-Gómez to radicalize, transform, and combine Foucault’s genealogical approach and decolonial theory. The article concludes by showing that, besides radicalizing and combining genealogy and decoloniality, the localization at work in Castro-Gómez’s genealogies of coloniality serves to interpret theorizations and phenomena of contemporary violence by turning to Mexican transfeminist philosopher Sayak Valencia’s analysis of “gore capitalism.”

Full textAbstract:
This article traces a line of tactical thought pointing out a sequence of methodological affinities touched by poststructuralism, postanarchism and joyful militancy, for the case study of the performative mural The Fall of the Eagle 1. The Exedra in Flames, in the antiauthoritarian exercise of insubordination and celebratory insurrection that burst into the politics of life, revealing the structural scaffolding of violent institutional authoritarianisms tending to the partisan of State in a territory occupied by gore capitalism, in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. During the analysis, a transversal report will be crossed that will allow the observation, identification and analysis of the emotions of militant insubordination, revealing in the process the socioemotional irruption of what will be called “normative contracture of the social order”, as testimony of the existing contraction of social bodies in the negotiation and conditioning of life policies inside and outside artistic education programs.

Full textAbstract:
Daniel Peña’s 2017 novel Bang creates a parallel between the physical and social effects of Mexican migration into and out of the United States and those of the Mexican drug war. This essay utilizes Rob Nixon’s concept of slow violence to look at the corporeal degradation and disposability imposed on migrant farmworkers, in conjunction with Sayak Valencia’s theorization of gore capitalism, the necroeconomy of performative narcoviolence, as experienced by the characters in Bang. Although these two concepts appear to lie on opposite ends of the spectrum, and are illustrated in the novel initially from contrasting sides of the border and of (il)legality of trade, their conjunction points to the commonality between those suffering as grist for the modern economic mill. The essay analyzes how Peña’s transnational perspective, lyrical prose, and bridging of opposing concepts graphically perceive not only the personal experiences of those whose bodies are both degraded and commodified, but also the systemic constraints that force them into impossible choices. Using Peña’s novel, the essay reveals the continuity between these readings of violence as traced through the degradation of disposable bodies; both kinds of violence are ultimately born out of a unity of underlying extractive agricultural economies, yielding the grotesque from the mundane.

Full textAbstract:
The first quarter of the 21st century is reaching its end, and worldwide crises appear to become ubiquitous. Capitalist forces of destruction have not gone rogue, they merely represent the actualization of capitalist relations of exploitation. Notions of fettering fall prey to illusions, which overlook both particular historical moments and the essence of capitalist relations. In contrast, social emancipation presupposes an ontological understanding of human action. It is not enough to wish for a more humane society; both the limits of and potential for transformation must be understood. Based on Marx and Lukács, the ontological categories of possible and impossible, labour and teleology, are investigated, consequently, creating an opposing prerogative to capitalist naturalization and eternization. Capitalism is instead taken for what it is: a determined social, historical construction, thus, a superable social organization rather than a natural force. Insofar as the historical debacle of Marxism has provoked a methodological vacuum filled with relativism, contemporary critical analyses disaggregate into bourgeois isolated phenomena, becoming liberal assessments themselves. The concrete impact is not irrelevant: for they fight arguments in the fields chosen by capitalism; any perception of totality is rejected a priori; strategies to overcome capitalist challenges reproduce the conditions which create them, because it is assumed what needs to be explained. It appears urgent to reframe social critique within the frame of methodological orthodoxy. Marxist capitalist critique departs from ontological facts, for instance, labour. This means grasping both the totality and the ontological dimensions of particular forms, enabling effective strategies towards emancipation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: As in all his films to date, Jordan Peele deftly weaves metaphor in Nope , his latest film, to critique capitalism and its white supremacist foundations. The film’s monsters include an abstracted alien and a domesticated chimpanzee gone violent and come to signify capitalism’s recalcitrant reckoning. Drawing from Black feminist studies, Afrofuturism, and queer theory’s work on utopia and potential in queer failure, Peele compels viewers to consider Black Americans’ centrality in the formation and destruction of American capitalism. What other worlds become possible in the process of the Black and queer protagonists’ survival against the Lovecraftian monster? This study examines how horror becomes a useful lens—for rethinking the role of Black people in horror, for its contribution towards more critical discussion on capitalism’s legacy and its impending collapse(s). And, most importantly, for centering and imagining decolonial futures led by queer people of color.

<p>Blaise Pascal es un actor del invento del capitalismo y su subjetividad logra vincularse con el imperativo de goce del capitalismo naciente. Su relación con el goce hace sospechar una posición perversa que inventa la perversión generalizada. No obstante, su “escisión” (libertino y moralista), sus heteronomías, el rechazo de las satisfacciones sexuales, la estabilización por la búsqueda científica, en particular matemática, hablan en favor de la psicosis. ¿Pero si fuera Asperger (hipótesis de los Lefort)? Es como si en la articulación de la apuesta, Pascal pudiera desarrollar una enunciación propia sin riesgo. Este Otro, finalmente, se combina, de la mejor manera posible, con la lógica del discurso capitalista que él perfecciona: primacía del cálculo y de la evaluación, forclusión de la castración y rechazo de las cosas del amor.</p>

Full textAbstract:
If the critique of neoliberal capitalism has become a staple of leftist documentary filmmaking in France since the late 1990s, few films have gone as far in their rejection of work as those made by Pierre Carles, Stéphane Goxe and Christophe Coello. Attention, Danger, Travail (2003) and Volem rien foutre al païs (2007) unapologetically and uncompromisingly reject the normative legitimacy of waged employment as a warrant of individual and social productivity. Nonetheless, it would be highly reductive to see in these two films and in the filmmakers' project a celebration of idleness. Rather, as they strive to restore the productive value of individuals unable and unwilling to enter the labor market, they reject what the filmmakers see as leftist politics' complacency about capitalism's promotion of work as an ethics of self-realization. Drawing from Jacques Rancière's emphasis on the proletariat's self-identification and incidental political inscription in late nineteenth-century society, this analysis argues that the two films discussed here operate therefore a political and aesthetic shift away from twentieth-century militant cinema by replacing the figure of political consciousness commonly associated with industrial capitalist society, namely the worker, with the unemployed post-industrial subjects of the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Full textAbstract:
Using Thing theory and a Marxist analysis of temporality, I show how identity formation in Erpenbeck’s novel relies on objects and a person’s ability to work, demonstrating how the dehumanizing effects of capitalism not only impact the asylum seekers in the novel, but its German characters as well. Although characters fight against dehumanization, Erpenbeck’s novel demonstrates that the only hope for the future lies in systemic change. Although the majority of scholarship on Go, Went, Gone reads it through the lens of Europe’s refugee crisis, I argue that Erpenbeck contextualizes the crisis, situating it in a dehumanizing capitalist system fraught with internal contradictions to show the true crisis is not an influx of migrants, but the failure of the German political and economic systems to account for them.

Este trabajo analiza el modo de construir subjetividad política del capitalismo neoliberal desde herramientas de la teoría de los discursos de Jacques Lacan. Se concluye que durante los años noventa el neoliberalismo se constituyó como un nuevo Discurso Amo. El nuevo Amo se estructuró mediante una articulación aggiornada del Discurso Capitalista con el Discurso Universitario y una reformulación del Discurso del Amo Antiguo. A partir de las construcciones metafóricas y los mandatos superyoicos de sus representantes y voceros, este discurso fue investido de un goce y un plus de goce lenguajero y corporal. A su vez, el Amo se mostró transfiriendo una parte del goce al Esclavo-Trabajador mediante una fantasía de libertad para elegir de forma plena y autónoma en el mercado, participar horizontalmente con el patrón en el nuevo orden flexible y acceder, vía el sacrificio, a un futuro de derrame de las riquezas de los ricos. Esta ilusión de retorno del goce al Esclavo fortaleció la dominación política del Amo-Empresario. En el caso argentino, junto con lapermanencia de la Convertibilidad como objeto a causa de deseo, de Menem a De la Rúa (1989-2001) se encontró un cambio de registro en los mandatos superyoicos y en las fuentes de goce, dentro de un mismo Discurso Capitalista Neoliberal de disciplinamiento social.

Parto de la idea de la filósofa mexicana Sayak Valencia de que la violencia contemporánea es la manera en que se ejerce la necropolítica de manera global. El término capitalismo gore lo propuso la autora como una herramienta de análisis del paisaje económico, sociopolítico, simbólico y cultural latinoamericano afectado y re-escrito por el narcotráfico y la necropolítica (entendida como un engranaje económico y simbólico que produce otros códigos, gramáticas, narrativas e interacciones sociales a través de la gestión de la muerte). Dichos términos forman parte de una taxonomía discursiva que busca visibilizar la complejidad del entramado criminal en el contexto latinoamericano, y sus conexiones con el neoliberalismo exacerbado, la globalización, la construcción binaria del género como performance política y la creación de subjetividades capitalísticas, recolonizadas por la economía y representadas por los criminales y narcotraficantes internacionales, que dentro de la taxonomía del capitalismo gore reciben el nombre de sujetos endriagos. En este trabajo comento las característica de estos personajes endriagos en las narraciones de Ampuero, particularmente del volumen Sacrificios humanos (2021) que considero son una forma de narrar la violencia por parte de los sujetos endriagos, creados por parte del necroestado para la “[apropiarse] de los cuerpos de la población civil como mercancías de intercambio o como cuerpos consumidores de estas mercancías [drogas, armas, la trata de migrantes] ofrecidas por el necromercado” (Sayak Valencia, “Capitalismo Gore y necropolítica en el México contemporáneo”, Revista de Relaciones Internacionales, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, núm. 19, febrero de 2012).

En el presente artículo discutimos críticamente el fin de la sociedad del riesgo como modelo analítico para sentar las bases que nos permitan comprender los cambios recientes en materia de cultura, política y economía. La sociedad del riesgo tal y como fue imaginada por Beck, Giddens y los sociólogos postmodernos ha desaparecido, dando lugar a una nueva y más refinada versión, el capitalismo mortuorio. A diferencia del riesgo (,) que ponía a los ciudadanos en igualdad de condiciones, en el capitalismo mortuorio el valor cultural fundacional es el sufrimiento de otros como condición para maximizar el placer. El terrorismo, en este contexto, provee la materia prima esencial al sistema y crea una situación paradojal (,) ya que las audiencias globales se consternan con las imágenes que invaden sus hogares sobre guerras civiles, ataques terroristas y miseria en todo el mundo, pero adictivamente no pueden resistirse a seguir consumiéndolas.Moved by the goal of paving the ways of a new theory which would be helpful to expand the current borders of modernity, we discuss critically the end of the risk society. As it was formulated by Beck, Giddens and other senior sociologists, the theory of risk theory has gone forever, resulting a more refined version of global capitalism, we have dubbed as Thana Capitalism. Unlike what Beck noted, that risk equaled the levels and status of citizens, in Thana Capitalism the suffering of others (death) is commoditized as the mainstream cultural value. This not only seems to be the key factor towards pleasure maximization, but terrorism in this context provide with the necessary commodity in order for productive system to be buttressed. However, it creates a paradoxical situation simply because while global audiences are terrorized by the media coverage or the rise of radical groups, they cannot stop consuming death-related news.

Full textAbstract:
Se ofrece un esbozo de aproximación a la ontología del capitalismo. Desde una perspectiva marxista y psicoanalítica, el capital se concibe y examina sucesivamente como estructura violenta, como violencia estructural, como destrucción genocida y ecocida, como autoproducción de algo muerto a expensas de la vida, como neutralización de lo vivo, como satisfacción gozosa de la pulsión de muerte, como goce posesivo-acumulativo y como proceso que desposee al sujeto humano y que lo posee como objeto. Estas manifestaciones ontológicas del capitalismo se analizan, por un lado, en su relación con la epistemología, enfatizando la operación de la ciencia entendida en clave lacaniana como ideología de la supresión del sujeto, y, por otro lado, en su equivalencia con la economía y con una suerte de necrología, describiendo el capital como un proceso que mata lo vivo al transmutarlo en dinero muerto. El ser del capital se contrapone al de la vida, tanto humana como no-humana, y aparece como un tener y tenerse a costa del ser, como una reducción del ser a poseerse y acumularse, como un hacer-hacerse al deshacer lo demás y como el no-ser de la vida y la otredad.
--
An outline approach to the ontology of capitalism is offered. From a Marxist and psychoanalytic perspective, capital is successively conceived and examined as a violent structure, as structural violence, as genocidal and ecocide destruction, as the self-production of something dead at expense of life, as the neutralization of living being, as the satisfaction of death drive, as possessive-accumulative jouissance and as a process that dispossesses human person and possesses them as objects. These ontological manifestations of capitalism are analyzed, on the one hand, in their relationship with epistemology, emphasizing the operation of science understood in a Lacanian way as an ideology of the suppression of the subject. On the other hand, in its equivalence with the economy and with a kind of necrology, describing capital as a process that kills the life by transmuting it into dead money. The being of capital is opposed to that of life, both human and non-human, and appears as having at the expense of being, as a reduction of being to possessing and accumulating, as doing and becoming, and as the non-being of life and otherness.

Para ello se toma como referencia principal el trabajo teórico de Sayak Valencia en su libro Capitalismo gore, con el fi n de vincular los conceptos que propone con las problemáticas sociales que en Elpidia García son motivo de una escritura a favor de la memoria colectiva y aunada a una crítica del pasado y el presente históricos. Asimismo, se profundiza en el análisis del sujeto endriago planteado por Valencia, pues su representación mimética en las ficciones de García Delgado es una cualidad sustancial para comprender el espacio desde el que se narra.

Full textAbstract:
El presente texto indaga algunos de los elementos del análisis fenomenológico del totalitarismo, siguiendo a Hannah Arendt, tales como los conceptos de sociedad secreta a la luz del día, la banalidad del mal y el mal radical; elementos que la autora desarrolló en sus reflexiones en torno a la política totalitaria. Empero, el presente texto vincula dichas nociones del análisis de Arendt, con mecanismos contemporáneos del imperialismo del mercado –neoliberalismo–, los cuales apuran parecidos de familia en torno a la demanda de construcción de una subjetividad que posibilita dispositivos de generación de valor, hasta alcanzar su culmen, mediante la confección de una subjetividad orientada a la producción de la muerte ‒lo que se comprende en términos de capitalismo gore‒, siguiendo la definición de Zayak Valencia. Categoría del capital entendido, no como una anomalía en la generación de riqueza dentro de la lógica de creación de valor capitalista, sino que esta representa su postrero horizonte. La muerte, la producción del cadáver, mediante necroemprendimientos que articulan y configuran un sistema de instauración de valor, sobre todo en espacios fronterizos y zonas precarizadas de naciones en vías de desarrollo, comprendido esto como el último estadio de la dinámica del capital. Entonces, la lógica interna del neoliberalismo mundial, deviene en formas totalitarias, que mantienen la violencia –conducida por grupos criminales y de poder–, como el fundamento del capital y su auténtica silueta.

El presente ensayo propone una lectura de la lucha por la memoria de los 43 estudiantes desaparecidos de la Escuela Normal Rural “Raúl Isidro Burgos” en Ayotzinapa, estado de Guerrero (México), desde la perspectiva de la disputa sobre la representación de la violencia. En una primera parte se intentará reflexionar sobre la violencia de Estado y las masacres actuales en México como materializaciones de la necropolítica (Mbembe, 2011, p. 35), entendida como instrumento consustancial a un proyecto de acumulación capitalista de tipo neoliberal, que ha sido definido como capitalismo gore (Valencia, 2010, p. 189). En segundo lugar, se reflexionará sobre el problema de la imagen como mercancía en el contexto de la producción espectacular de una cultura del miedo. Finalmente se intentará reflexionar sobre una posible contrasemiosis que libere la imagen, para favorecer la producción social de una experiencia de lo público en el horizonte de lucha por la justicia para las víctimas.

Este artículo explora las principales herramientas heurísticas que la teoría social de herencia lacaniana ofrece para el análisis crítico del capitalismo contemporáneo en términos de una economía política del goce. Para ello, a partir de un ejercicio de modelización paradigmática, comenzaremos delimitando los supuestos subyacentes, así como del conjunto de categorías generales y específicas, que definen los contornos de la denominada teoría social lacaniana frente a otras vertientes analíticas que comparten con esta el heteróclito y prolífico campo del posestructuralismo. De allí que, en primer lugar, sistematizaremos los desarrollos conceptuales que el propio Lacan ha legado en su obra tardía, articulados en torno a la noción de discurso capitalista. Una noción que busca caracterizar el malestar en nuestra época al dar cuenta del establecimiento de una economía simbólica y afectiva singular. Luego, y en diálogo con las lecturas contemporáneas que son herederas de tales desarrollos, se avanza en la problematización de los posibles horizontes y estrategias para la transformación de esta forma de lazo social, teniendo por hipótesis que lucha política emancipatoria está ligada primordialmente a la producción y radicalización de los antagonismos sociales que permitirían la inscripción de fisuras en un discurso capitalista que se pretende sin cortes, global y totalizante. © Universidad Católica Luis Amigó - Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.

Shibusawa Eiichi (1840-1931) was often referred to as "the father of Japanese capitalism," and as a Japanese industrialist interested in Confucius' social-mindedness, he is the model for John Sagers' proposed economic reforms. The long, painful death of crony capitalism in Japan means that it is worth thinking about what should be done once Japan, Inc. is gone. But the book suffers from confusion over what "capitalism" means, anbd several other problems.

In recent years, public discourse in Montenegro has seen a rise in the prevalence of the phrase creative industries (and creative and cultural industries), despite its considerably longer presence in the theory and practice of developed capitalist countries. A significant role in the defining of this term and concept, its institutional recognition, its elevation to a level visible to the public and, finally, the financial support provided to creative and cultural industries – has been played by the ministry in charge of culture. This paper will review the normative, institutional and strategic frameworks pertaining to the current (and desired future) position of creative and cultural industries in Montenegro, so as to better present the occurrence of these phenomena and the course of their development in the last few years.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Among business leaders, government officials and academics there is a general consensus that new technological developments such as artificial intelligence, robotics and the internet of things have the potential to “take our jobs.” Rather than resisting and bemoaning this radical shift, theorists such as Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams have argued that full automation, universal basic income, and future thinking, should be demanded in order to challenge neo-liberal hegemony. Helen Hester has gone on to consider the limits and potentials of this manifesto in regard to the automation of reproductive labour. In this article, I take this work as a starting point and consider the significant burden that is left at the designer’s door in the post-work/post-capitalist imaginary. I explore the changes that would need to be made to design methods: techniques that are themselves part of the history of industrial capitalism. Focusing on the automation of domestic labour and drawing on feminist theory and emergent design practice, I begin to develop a feminist design methodology; without which I argue that an emancipatory post-work politics cannot be realised.

Full textAbstract:
Not long ago, two safe generalizations could be made about the Gulf monarchies: ruling families dominated their politics, and oil dominated their economies. In recent years that has begun to change. In Kuwait the parliament challenges the political predominance of the ruling family. Meanwhile, Dubai and, increasingly, the other emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have made real progress in diversifying their economies away from oil—at least until the recent economic crisis. Yet political liberalization and economic diversification have not gone hand in hand: Kuwait's economy remains dependent on oil, and the United Arab Emirates remains resolutely authoritarian. This is no accident. Kuwait's high level of political participation encourages its dependence on oil while the UAE's economic diversification requires a lack of political participation by citizens. The reasons for this are specific to the peculiar political economy of these labor markets: in these richest of rentier-states, there is little need for the class compromise between capitalists and workers on which capitalist democracy usually rests.

Marxist feminist scholars have gone through a rather long and tortuous process of understanding the capitalist system and patriarchy. At first, they argued that the capitalist system and patriarchy go hand in hand and together keep women in subservient positions. Later, they examined related concepts and argued that the capitalist system and patriarchy merge and intensify the oppression of women. At the same time, later Marxist feminist scholars returned to Marxist theory and suggested that the capitalist system is the key to the current women’s problems and patriarchy is its ideological tool to defend the ruling class’s interests.

Some years ago Ed Freeman and William Evan wrote an article offering a Kantian stakeholder theory of corporate responsibility. Ed was kind enough to allow Tom Beauchamp and me to publish that previously unpublished piece in the second edition of Ethical Theory and Business. That article has appeared in every subsequent edition. But a Kantian theory of stakeholder relationships is not, I believe, a complete Kantian theory of the modem corporation. I believe Ed originally intended to expand that paper into a larger project but Ed’s philosophical interest in pragmatism has distanced him from Kantianism and his writings in stakeholder theory have gone in a different direction. Indeed in this postmodem feminist anti-foundationalist age, Kant is very much out of fashion. Since I am always out of fashion I had no trouble promising Ed I would complete the Kantian piece of the project. This essay is the condensed version and a partial fulfillment of my promise. A Kantian always keeps his promises.

Abstract In Wolf's EPWH, the importance of debt for scaffolding the expansion of the capitalist mode of production was shown repeatedly, despite not being treated as a distinct phenomenon. In the forty years that have gone by since the publication of the book, financial debt has gained centrality in global accumulation processes. The advancing frontier of financialization, reminiscent of that of earlier capitalist expansion, as well as its effects on particular groups and localities, has been a recurrent object of analysis in recent anthropological scholarship, often with a focus on the sphere of circulation and consumption. This article contends that the Wolfian conceptual toolkit, and particularly the notion of labor, should be brought back into the equation for addressing debt and credit relations in contemporary times.

Full textAbstract:
‘Do we not see economists leaving out of account unconscious greed?’ It seems that this question, which Donald W. Winnicott and his colleagues asked some twenty-five years ago, is still relevant today. While economists still broadly emphasise self-interest as a driving force and rarely discuss the impact of greed, socio-analysts are increasingly interested in it. Taking Melanie Klein's earlier work on greed as a starting-point, I offer the notion of ‘capitalist greed’ and attempt to elaborate some of the unconscious dynamics in the realm of economy and finance. I see greed as a psychotic dynamic that inhibits thinking and limits reality to what is bearable and desired. Greed is neither a phenomenon that began with the onset of capitalism nor the decisive cause of the current crisis; it is inherent in the former and became most apparent in the latter. Subsequently, I will elaborate how competition is often fuelled by excessive greed that seeks to damage or even annihilate competitors and is the source of corruption and fraud. The mere pursuit of maximising profit, fostered and legitimised by economics for almost half a century, has had a major impact on the prevalence of greed in our contemporary economy and the financial service industry in particular. In concluding, I will offer some reflections on how thinking may be maintained in a world gone mad with greed.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis contribution examines the connection between investor capitalism and sustainable investment. It will be observed in this article that investor capitalism has gone through a structural change. Individual investors have been replaced by funds. Financial service providers have emerged that assist investors in managing and holding investments. This development coincided and was arguably facilitated by the growth in workplace and personal pensions. Pensions are subsidised by the government through tax relief. This financial contribution of the government is justified on social policy grounds. But it has the effect that pension savers, who receive substantial return by saving tax, are deprived of a reason to take an interest in how their money is invested. This not only deprives the service providers assisting pension savers from oversight from their ultimate customers. It also can help to explain why pension savers do not actively select investment products but rely on the default settings suggested by their employers. If the government is serious about encouraging investor capitalism to bring about sustainable business it should start with its own financial contribution, which has coincided with the emergence of the current model of investor capitalism, and connect pension tax relief to sustainable investment practices.

Les séries dystopiques coréennes diffusées sur les plateformes de VOD américaines sont devenues un phénomène culturel incontournable. Ce ne sont pas des k-dramas comme les autres. Ces derniers sont plutôt utopiques au service du néo-traditionalisme. Ce ne sont pas non plus des dystopies fatalistes à la manière des séries américaines récentes. Nous voudrions démontrer que ces séries coréennes internationales que nous qualifions de « dystopies de véridiction » recentrent le paradigme dystopique sur la falsification sociale généralisée et la quête de vérité comme antidote. Cela passe par la transfiguration subversive et imagée d’espaces stéréotypés accrédités par les autorités dominantes en espaces hétérotopiques de véridiction. Ce faisant, à travers une esthétique gore qui s’oppose à celle des « corps propres », elles remettent la mort au centre des enjeux d’un capitalisme mondialisé devenu mortifère. Réticentes devant le refuge éthéré du spiritualisme dominant la culture et les k-dramas, elles rappellent la matière même du corps souffrant sur lequel agit un capitalisme parvenu à son stade mortifère, un nécro-capitalisme. Ces corps, ceux des personnages, ne se « dividualisent » pas, au contraire, ils cherchent, loin des faux-semblants du monde, à renouer un lien, une nouvelle innocence, une solidarité indépendante des pouvoirs institués.

Full textAbstract:
Little attention has been paid to why individuals are addicted to Internet-related experiences. This research identifies a key driver of technology addiction by combining three perspectives: behavioural science, economics, and psychoanalysis. Behavioural science reveals that technology addiction is produced by well-designed technology that fulfils humans’ fundamental needs. Capital economy analysis, called surveillance capitalism, offers a new interpretation of the data-driven economy, in which Internet technology enterprises collect feedback from users’ experiences and use said feedback to improve their products. The data accumulation logic facilitates automatic thinking and the modification of users’ behaviours to make a profit for the enterprises. Psychoanalysis clarifies the relationship between surveillance power and behavioural changes in society. The Panopticon, a central observation tower with a circle of prison cells, achieved an automatic function of power to control individuals’ performances and minds. Technology addiction is a symptom of the modern Panopticon because a common mechanism works between the Panopticon and surveillance capitalism, occupying individuals’ time and space and executing the automatic function of the surveillance power that facilitates behavioural modification. We conclude that depriving individuals of both time and space is a key driver of technology addiction that threatens sovereignty in a data-driven economy. We also provide three solutions to technology addiction: acknowledgement of the benefits and risks of technology use, acceptance of the complexity underlying technology-related issues, and protection of individual sovereignty. Keywords: Technology addiction; Surveillance capitalism; Panopticon

During the latter half of the eighteenth century Britain was in her ‘Golden Age’ of empire. From the defeat of the French in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) until the British loss of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), she claimed herself as the ‘premiere’ kingdom of the world. But during this period, a growing unease prevailed amongst her people. This was social, with an increasing middle-class born of capitalism, economic through her trade and dominance of the seas, and political through the rise of anti-imperialism against the prevailing absolutist monarchy. In this essay I wish to examine how the sense of crisis in the aristocracy manifested itself in public depictions, namely the military portraits of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and to analyse through the social history of art the pictorial rhetoric that the artist employed for these paintings. I hope to be able to show that the determinations of these aristocratic patrons in asserting ‘heroism’ and ‘civic virtue’ through their portrayals unconsciously exposed their self-conscious condition. Their endeavours in creating a modern, patrician appeal reflected the fractured social and political circumstances of the period into which they desperately attempted to adjust, and maintain power.

The role of law in breeding economic inequality has gone unnoticed for an extended period, however, is yet to be explored. To state and elaborate the problem, while capitalism has been considered to potentially contribute to the ongoing inequality trends in the world, there needs to be more literature on how the legal order in term of bolstering capitalism and economic inequalities are enlaced. The research problem is in regards to the extention of choice of legal structure undergirding capitalism correlate with economic inequality. As a limitation, this correlation should not be understood causally, as other underlying potential factors perpetuating economic inequality must exist. This article undertakes to fill the gap by utilizing epistemological and multidisciplinary approaches from the theories and practices of law and economics. Applying semiotic interpretation systems in forming arguments and drawing conclusions in doctrinal legal research. Various views enabled through the findings because both law and economics are partly subjective and irrational, which reshape the meanings. It founds that capitalism as a legal order is established to trace Economic inequality's legal roots. Therefore, appalling economic inequalities can co-exist with formal legal equality. Laws can reshape societies, but they serve capital, even when the movement of law and economics is at crossroads.
