The creation and role of the legal subject is just one aspect of jurisprudential enquiry now attracting much attention. How do moral values act upon the subject? How do moral 'systems' impinge upon the subject - jurist and judged - throughout the 20th century, when reLaw in literatureLaw and literatureFeminist jurisprudenceLawPhilosophyElectronic books.Law in literature.Law and literature.Feminist jurisprudence.LawPhilosophy.340.11823/.9109355Williams Melanie1958-,476419FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910450980803321Empty justice244104UNINA03528nam 22005173u 450 991022015720332120210114062340.00-271-05535-90-271-05588-X(CKB)2550000000089007(EBL)3385031(MiAaPQ)EBC3385031(BIP)35578187(EXLCZ)99255000000008900720151005d2011 u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFeudal America Elements of the Middle Ages in Contemporary SocietyState College Pennsylvania State University Press20111 online resource (184 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-271-03782-2 ""Front Cover""; ""Title Page""; ""Copyright""; ""Table of Contents""; ""Preface""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""Chapter One: The Feudal Model in Social Analysis""; ""Chapter Two: Feudal, Liberal, and Authoritarian Models as Tools for Analyzing the Middle Ages and Contemporary American Society""; ""Chapter Three: Big Money and Corporations as Promoters of Feudal Tendencies""; ""Chapter Four: The Feudal Model and the Organizational Level of Analysis""; ""Chapter Five: Private Coercion""; ""Personal Relations in American Politics and Business""; ""Conclusion""; ""References""; ""Index""""Back Cover""Do Americans live in a liberal capitalist society, where evenhanded competition rules the day, or a society in which big money, private security, and personal relations determine key social outcomes? Vladimir Shlapentokh and Joshua Woods argue that the answer to these questions cannot be found among the conventional models used to describe the nation. Offering a new analytical tool, the authors present a provocative explanation of the nature of contemporary society by comparing its essential characteristics to those of medieval European societies. Their feudal model emphasizes five elements: the weakness of the state and its inability to protect its territory, guarantee the security of its citizens, and enforce laws; conflicts and collusions between and within organizations that involve corruption and other forms of illegal or semilegal actions; the dominance of personal relations in political and economic life; the prevalence of an elitist ideology; and the use of private agents and organizations for the provision of safety and security. Feudal America urges readers to suspend their forward-thinking and futurist orientations, question linear notions of social and historical progression, and look for explanations of contemporary social problems in medieval European history.SociologyUnited States -- Economic conditions -- 21st centuryUnited States -- Politics and government -- 21st centuryUnited States -- Social conditions -- 21st centurySociology.United States -- Economic conditions -- 21st century.United States -- Politics and government -- 21st century.United States -- Social conditions -- 21st century.306.0973/09051Shlapentokh Vladimir675978Woods Joshua913795AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910220157203321Feudal America2047413UNINA
