This logic privileges mind over body, masculine over feminine, individual over collective, control over emotion, and a realm of transcendence over the haphazardness of daily life. As clinical studies of anorexia show, this is the very logic adopted by millions of young American women today, to devastating effect.In literature this anorexic logic is embodied in high modernism, as Heywood shows in discussions of Kafka, Pound, Eliot, William Carlos Williams, and Conrad. In a compelling chapter on Jean Rhys, Heywood reveals an author struggling to develop a clean, spare, "anorexic" style in the midst of a shatteringly messy emotional life. As Heywood points out, students are trained in the aesthetic of high modernism, and academics are pressured into its straitjacket. The resulting complications are reflected in structures as diverse as gender identity formation, sexual harassment, and eating disorders. As Heywood reveals in an analysis of Nike ads and in a startling discussion of female bodybuilding, under the guise of individualism and self-determination the anorexic aesthetic confronts us every day in contemporary consumer culture.Dedication to hungerLiterature, ModernHistory and criticismAnorexia nervosa in literatureWomen in literatureAnorexia NervosapsychologyCultureMedicine in LiteratureWomenLiterature, ModernHistory and criticismAnorexia nervosa in literatureWomen in literatureFeeding and Eating DisordersAnthropology, CulturalSociologyPersonsLiteratureAnthropologyMental DisordersNamed GroupsHumanitiesSocial SciencesPsychiatry and PsychologyAnthropology, Education, Sociology and Social PhenomenaCultureAnorexia NervosaMedicine in LiteratureWomenLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCLiterature - GeneralHILCCCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastLiterature, ModernHistory and criticism.Anorexia nervosa in literature.Women in literature.Anorexia Nervosapsychology.Culture.Medicine in Literature.Women.Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.Anorexia nervosa in literature.Women in literature.Feeding and Eating Disorders.Anthropology, Cultural.Sociology.Persons.Literature.Anthropology.Mental Disorders.Named GroupsHumanities.Social Sciences.Psychiatry and PsychologyAnthropology, Education, Sociology and Social PhenomenaCulture.Anorexia Nervosa.Medicine in Literature.Women.Languages & LiteraturesLiterature - General809Heywood Leslie862068DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910495879503321Dedication to hunger2864383UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress03913nam 22006855 450 991030345180332120240313115941.09783030037000303003700210.1007/978-3-030-03700-0(CKB)4100000007205008(MiAaPQ)EBC5611923(DE-He213)978-3-030-03700-0(Perlego)3493965(EXLCZ)99410000000720500820181206d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSwedish Economists in the 1930s Debate on Economic Planning /by Benny Carlson1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Pivot,2018.1 online resource (171 pages)Palgrave Studies in Economic History,2662-65009783030036997 3030036995 Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Background -- Chapter 3: Arguments for and Against -- Chapter 4: International Background -- Chapter 5: The Swedish Economists -- Chapter 6: Economists in the Swedish Debate -- Chapter 7: Summary and Conclusions.The 1930s, characterised by repercussions from World War I and the Great Depression, was an era of populism, nationalism, protectionism, government intervention and attempts to create planned economies. The perceived need for economic planning emerged in Sweden in part due to the increasing political strength of the Social Democrats and their evolution from a party hampered by Marxist fatalism to a pragmatic mass movement. The Swedish debate continued beyond World War II and is still relevant to today's economic crises, which have resulted in a demand for action coming from below (populism) and above (elitism). Carlson surveys the arguments for and against economic planning as they were put forward by leading Swedish economists in the 1930s, with a focus on the thoughts of Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Gösta Bagge, Gunnar Myrdal and Bertil Ohlin, among others. In so doing he provides a timely exploration of the debate on the necessary and desirable extent ofstate intervention in market economies. Benny Carlson is Professor Emeritus at the Department of Economic History, Lund University School of Economics and Management, Sweden. Carlson first completed a degree in journalism and worked for 10 years at a local newspaper before studying economics. He has authored 20 books and over 100 minor publications and articles in Swedish and international scholarly journals.Palgrave Studies in Economic History,2662-6500Economic historyInternational economic relationsEconomicsHistoryEconomic policyEvolutionary economicsInstitutional economicsEconomic HistoryInternational Political Economy'History of Economic Thought and MethodologyEconomic PolicyInstitutional and Evolutionary EconomicsEconomic history.International economic relations.EconomicsHistory.Economic policy.Evolutionary economics.Institutional economics.Economic History.International Political Economy'.History of Economic Thought and Methodology.Economic Policy.Institutional and Evolutionary Economics.338.9338.9485Carlson Bennyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063554BOOK9910303451803321Swedish Economists in the 1930s Debate on Economic Planning2532973UNINA
