Responsibility, bureaucracy, and accountability in social and political life -- pt. 2. Responsibility, risk, and insurance.How and why has the concept of responsibility come to pervade the fabric of American public and private life? How are ideas of responsibility instantiated in, and constituted by, the workings of social and political institutions? What place do liberal discourses of responsibility, based on the individual, have in todayGs biopolitical world, where responsibility is so often a matter of risk assessment, founded in statistical probabilities? Bringing together the work of scholars in anthropology, law, literary studies, philosophy, and political theory, the essays in this volume show how state and private bureaucracies play crucial roles in fashioning forms of responsibility, which they then enjoin on populations. How do government and market constitute subjects of responsibility in a culture so enamored of individuality? In what ways can those entitiesGcentrally, in modern culture, those engaged in ensuring individuals against loss or harmGthemselves be held responsible, and by whom?.Fragmentation and MemoryA Fury in the WordsSubjects of ResponsibilityBureaucracyResponsibilityBureaucracy.Responsibility.302.3/5Sarat Austin254475Parker Andrew1953-1806131Sarat Austin254475Umphrey Martha Merrill1088780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969035903321Subjects of responsibility4355122UNINA
