Focusing on this historical juncture at which debt litigation was not merely an aspect of society but seemed to engulf it completely, Of Bondage examines a culture that understood money and the body of the borrower as comparable forms of property that impinged on one another at the moment of default. Amanda Bailey shows that the early modern theater, itself dependent on debt bonds, was well positioned to stage the complex ethical issues raised by a system of forfeiture that registered as a bodily event. While plays about debt like The Merchant of Venice and The Custom of the Country did not use the language of political philosophy, they were artistically and financially invested in exploring freedom as a function of possession. By revealing dramatic literature's heretofore unacknowledged contribution to the developing narrative of possessed persons, Amanda Bailey not only deepens our understanding of creditor-debtor relations in the period but also sheds new light on the conceptual conditions for the institutions of indentured servitude and African slavery. Of Bondage is vital not only for students and scholars of English literature but also for those interested in British and colonial legal history, the history of human rights, and the sociology of economics.Debt in literatureEconomics and literatureGreat BritainHistoryDebtGreat BritainHistoryPropertyGreat BritainHistoryEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismElectronic books.Debt in literature.Economics and literatureHistory.DebtHistory.PropertyHistory.English dramaHistory and criticism.820.9/3553Bailey Amanda1966-1051269MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463510203321Of bondage2481646UNINA04819nam 2200661 450 991079833050332120230808193505.00-8135-8429-90-8135-8428-010.36019/9780813584294(CKB)3710000000725363(SSID)ssj0001677620(PQKBManifestationID)16486428(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001677620(PQKBWorkID)15022625(PQKB)11288773(MiAaPQ)EBC4543092(OCoLC)951474392(MdBmJHUP)muse51169(DE-B1597)526513(DE-B1597)9780813584294(Au-PeEL)EBL4543092(CaPaEBR)ebr11220746(CaONFJC)MIL929121(EXLCZ)99371000000072536320160701h20162016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrAfter capitalism horizons of finance, culture, and citizenship /edited by Kennan Ferguson and Patrice PetroNew Brunswick, New Jersey ;London, [England] :Rutgers University Press,2016.©20161 online resource (270 pages)New Directions in International StudiesIncludes index.0-8135-8427-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --CONTENTS --ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --Introduction /Petro, Patrice / Ferguson, Kennan --Part I: Financialization, Creditocracy, Austerity --1.

Gaming the System: Imperial Discomfort and the Emergence of Coyote Capitalism /Perley, Bernard C. --NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS --INDEXFrom Thomas Piketty to David Harvey, scholars are increasingly questioning whether we are entering into a post-capitalist era. If so, does this new epoch signal the failure of capitalism and emergence of alternative systems? Or does it mark the ultimate triumph of capitalism as it evolves into an unstoppable entity that takes new forms as it engulfs its opposition? After Capitalism brings together leading scholars from across the academy to offer competing perspectives on capitalism's past incarnations, present conditions, and possible futures. Some contributors reassess classic theorizations of capitalism in light of recent trends, including real estate bubbles, debt relief protests, and the rise of a global creditocracy. Others examine Marx's writings, unemployment, hoarding, "capitalist realism," and coyote (trickster) capitalism, among many other topics. Media and design trends locate the key ideologies of the current economic moment, with authors considering everything from the austerity aesthetics of reality TV to the seductive smoothness of liquid crystal. Even as it draws momentous conclusions about global economic phenomena, After Capitalism also pays close attention to locales as varied as Cuba, India, and Latvia, examining the very different ways that economic conditions have affected the relationship between the state and its citizens. Collectively, these essays raise provocative questions about how we should imagine capitalism in the twenty-first century. Will capitalism, like all economic systems, come to an end, or does there exist in history or elsewhere a hidden world that is already post-capitalist, offering alternative possibilities for thought and action?New directions in international studies.CapitalismDemocracyCitizenshipCapitalism.Democracy.Citizenship.330.12/2Ferguson Kennan1968-Petro Patrice1957-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798330503321After capitalism3795119UNINA
