Beginning with perhaps the most famous depiction of a corporation-Frank Norris's The Octopus-Ralph Clare traces this figure as it shifts from monster to man, from force to "individual," and from American industry to multinational "Other." Clare examines a variety of texts that span the second half of the twentieth century and beyond, including novels by Thomas Pynchon, William Gaddis, Don DeLillo, Richard Powers, and Joshua Ferris; films such as Network, Ghostbusters, Gung Ho, Office Space, and Michael Clayton; and assorted artifacts of contemporary media such as television's The Office and the comic strips Life Is Hell and Dilbert. Paying particular attention to the rise of neoliberalism, the emergence of biopolitics, and the legal status of "corporate bodies," Fictions Inc. shows that representations of corporations have come to serve, whether directly or indirectly, as symbols for larger economic concerns often too vast or complex to comprehend. Whether demonized or lionized, the corporation embodies American anxieties about these current conditions and ongoing fears about the viability of a capitalist system. 517 3 $aCorporation in postmodern fiction, film, and popular culture 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCapitalism in literature 606 $aCorporations in literature 606 $aIndustries in literature 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xPlots, themes, etc 606 $aPostmodernism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCapitalism in literature. 615 0$aCorporations in literature. 615 0$aIndustries in literature. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc. 615 0$aPostmodernism$xHistory 676 $a813/.5093553 686 $aHU 1819$2rvk 700 $aClare$b Ralph$f1975-$01046608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460205403321 996 $aFictions Inc$92473629 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04401nam 2201177Ia 450 001 9910791357603321 005 20230725015507.0 010 $a0-8147-9006-2 010 $a0-8147-1733-0 024 7 $a10.18574/9780814790069 035 $a(CKB)2560000000014517 035 $a(EBL)866080 035 $a(OCoLC)779828406 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000422880 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11289436 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000422880 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10432037 035 $a(PQKB)10003776 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001323992 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC866080 035 $a(OCoLC)643567659 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse4839 035 $a(DE-B1597)548049 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814790069 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL866080 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10386278 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000014517 100 $a20091123d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe measure of injury$b[electronic resource] $erace, gender, and tort law /$fMartha Chamallas and Jennifer B.

The conventional wisdom is that the rules, concepts, and structures of tort law are neutral and unbiased, free of considerations of gender and race.In The Measure of Injury, Martha Chamallas and Jennifer Wriggins prove that tort law is anything but gender and race neutral. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of case law ranging from the Jim Crow South to the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, the authors demonstrate that women and minorities have been under-compensated in tort law and that traditional biases have resurfaced in updated forms to perpetuate patterns of disparate recovery based on race and gender. Grappling with tort theory, the intricacies of legal doctrine and the practical effects of legal rules, The Measure of Injury is a unique treatise on torts that uncovers the public and cultural dimensions of this always-controversial domain of private law. 606 $aPersonal injuries$zUnited States 606 $aTorts$zUnited States 606 $aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aSex discrimination$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 610 $a911. 610 $aChamallas. 610 $aCompensation. 610 $aCrow. 610 $aDrawing. 610 $aFund. 610 $aInjury. 610 $aJennifer. 610 $aMartha. 610 $aMeasure. 610 $aSouth. 610 $aVictim. 610 $aWriggins. 610 $aanalysis. 610 $aanything. 610 $aauthors. 610 $abased. 610 $abeen. 610 $abiases. 610 $acase. 610 $ademonstrate. 610 $adisparate. 610 $aforms. 610 $afrom. 610 $agender. 610 $ahave. 610 $ain-depth. 610 $aminorities. 610 $aneutral. 610 $apatterns. 610 $aperpetuate. 610 $aprove. 610 $arace. 610 $aranging. 610 $arecovery. 610 $aresurfaced. 610 $athat. 610 $atort. 610 $atraditional. 610 $aunder-compensated. 610 $aupdated. 610 $awomen. 615 0$aPersonal injuries 615 0$aTorts 615 0$aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSex discrimination$xLaw and legislation 676 $a346.7303 700 $aChamallas$b Martha$01581247 701 $aWriggins$b Jennifer B$01581248 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791357603321 996 $aThe measure of injury$93862666 997 $aUNINA
