    In What’s the Use? Sara Ahmed continues the work she began in The Promise of Happiness and Willful Subjects by taking up a single word—in this case, use—and following it around. She shows how use became associated with life and strength in nineteenth-century biological and social thought and considers how utilitarianism offered a set of educational techniques for shaping individuals by directing them toward useful ends. Ahmed also explores how spaces become restricted to some uses and users, with specific reference to universities. She notes, however, the potential for queer use: how things can be used in ways that were not intended or by those for whom they were not intended. Ahmed posits queer use as a way of reanimating the project of diversity work as the ordinary and painstaking task of opening up institutions to those who have historically been excluded.

    This ambitious study, first published in 2000, offers a radical reassessment of one of the most important concepts of the Romantic period - the imagination. In contrast to traditional accounts, John Whale locates the Romantic imagination within the period's lively and often antagonistic polemics on aesthetics and politics. In particular he focuses on the different versions of imagination produced within British writing in response to the cultural crises of the French Revolution and the ideology of utilitarianism. Through detailed analysis of key texts by Burke, Paine, Wollstonecraft, Bentham, Hazlitt, Cobbett and Coleridge, Imagination under Pressure seeks to restore the role of imagination as a more positive force within cultural critique. The book concludes with a chapter on the afterlife of the Coleridgean imagination in the work of John Stuart Mill and I. A. Richards. As a whole it represents a timely and inventive contribution to the ongoing redefinition of Romantic literary and political culture Burke and the civic imagination -- Paine's attack on artifice -- Wollstonecraft, imagination, and futurity -- Hazlitt and the limits of the sympathetic imagination -- Cobbett's imaginary landscape -- Coleridge and the afterlife of imagination

    Pandora's amphora : the eroticism of contract and gift -- Orpheus's desire : the end of the market -- Narcissus's death : the Calabresi-Melamed trichotomy -- The Midas touch : the lethal effect of wealth maximization -- The Eumenides' return : the founding of law through the repression of the feminine

    The theory of law and economics that dominates American jurisprudence today views the market as rational and individuals as driven by the desire to increase their wealth. It is a view riddled with misconceptions, as Jeanne Lorraine Schroeder demonstrates in this challenging work, which looks at contemporary debates in legal theory through the lens of psychoanalysis and continental philosophy. Through metaphors drawn from classical mythology and interpreted via Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy, Schroeder exposes the hidden and repressed erotics of the market. Her work shows how the predominant economic analysis of markets and the standard romantic critique of markets are in fact mirror images, reflecting the misconception that reason and passion are inalterably opposed

    Dieser Artikel rekonstruiert aus einer ordonomischen Perspektive, (a) welche Hindernisse einer verständigen Interpretation von John Stuart Mill im Wege stehen, (b) wie sein genereller Denkansatz beschaffen ist, (c) wie seine utilitaristische Ethik mit unterschiedlichen Gerechtigkeitskategorien umgeht, (d) wie er als Ökonom und Philosoph zu den Gerechtigkeitsidealen von Kommunismus und Sozialismus Stellung nimmt - sowie in präzise welchem Sinn der liberale Ökonom Mill ein (selbsternannter) Sozialist war, und in welchem nicht. This article reconstructs from an ordonomic perspective (a) which obstacles stand in the way of a reasonable interpretation of John Stuart Mill, (b) what his general approach is, (c) how his utilitarian ethics deals with different categories of justice, (d) how he as an economist and philosopher takes a position on the ideals of justice favored by communism and socialism - and in precisely which sense the liberal economist Mill was a (self-proclaimed) Socialist, and in which not.
