Abstract: Das vorliegende Arbeitspapier (es handelt sich um einen Auszug aus der Habilitationsschrift des Autors) versucht eine Annäherung an eine Theorie des Kredits nicht über die Geldtheorie, sondern über den Ansatz einer generellen Theorie des Tausches. Geldwirtschaft und Geld sind aus dieser Perspektive nur partikuläre Fälle des Tausches. Um diese Konzeption konsistent durchführen zu können, klärt der Autor die Bedeutung der anderen zentralen Konzepte Geld, Interesse und Profit, teilweise unter Rückgriff auf den Marx'schen politökonomischen Ansatz. Der "Geldfetischismus" wird erst in Gesellschaften wirksam, in denen das Geld als Kapital fungiert. Marx entnimmt wichtige Motive seiner Kritik der "verkehrenden Macht des Geldes" aus einer alten Tradition, die bis in die frühe Antike zurückreicht, wie der Autor nachweist. Eingegangen wird weiterhin auf die Geldanalyse Georg Simmels und die Geldtheorie systemtheoretischer Provenienz. (ICE)

Abstract: Martin Amis's manipulation of the patriarchal concept of power is a notable indication of his transgressive attitudes that raise remarkable questions about the human identity. Transgressing power investigates the violation of the normal and familiar trends of literature in order to circulate a new discourse by which a new identity is reframed. Hence, the study of power in Martin Amis's novels, as an important technique of identity re-definition, is not taken into consideration in the light of Foucault's theory of power. The objective of this study is to examine the role applied by transgression as a technique of subverting the common discourse of power in the field of identity re-formation. The study investigates the concept of power manipulated in Amis's Money to define the identity of the "New Man". Accordingly, the Foucauldian theory of power is taken as a framework of this study. The study reveals a conclusion in which the transgressive aspects of power are effectively utilized

Abstract: Markets abound in media - but a media theory of markets is still emerging. Anthropology offers media archaeologies of markets, and the sociology of markets and finance unravels how contemporary financial markets have witnessed a media technological arms race. Building on such work, this volume brings together key thinkers of economic studies with German media theory, describes the central role of the media specificity of markets in new detail and inflects them in three distinct ways. Nik-Khah and Mirowski show how the denigration of human cognition and the concomitant faith in computation prevalent in contemporary market-design practices rely on neoliberal conceptions of information in markets. Schröter confronts the asymmetries and abstractions that characterize money as a medium and explores the absence of money in media. Beverungen situates these inflections and gathers further elements for a politically and historically attuned media theory of markets concerned with contemporar
