Marxist economics are evaluated from a feminist perspective to uncover their phallocentric bases, & feminist transvaluations of Marxian political economy are suggested. It is argued that Marx's grounding of value in the notion of species-being is phallocentric because it universalizes human existence, tranforming a historically contingent possibility into a gendered, essentialist possibility. A distinction is made between closed (phallocentric) economies & open economies (economies of excess), which challenge the rationality that underlies the modern foundationalist project. The development of the concept of open economies, beginning with Friedrich Nietzsche, is outlined. Open economies incorporate notions of plenitude & scarcity in discussions on the production & allocation of resources, & include energies, values, & meanings as types of resources. 34 References. J.

The book explores ways of thinking about and understanding economies, in the plural, as geographically differentiated phenomena. In contrast to the singular worldview of mainstream economics, economic geographer Jamie Peck makes the case for studying economic worlds, and lives, and transformations from the ground up, recognizing how place and situation really matter.

The article examines the Covid-19 pandemic by investigating the ways in which viruses are mapped out through the biosciences and recognized as threats in informational systems. Two examples are analyzed that, although seemingly unrelated, intersect the assemblages of biological and communicational networks. The first one concerns the speed at which a third of the world's population was quarantined. The second one involves the readiness of the material-technical infrastructure to support, and the political planning to transfer, a multitude of social and labour activities onto digital platforms. The adjective 'viral' highlights the metonymic ways in which digital media locate the different economies of gene formation, circulation and communication of subjects, transport of goods and political decision-making, and adapt them in favour of the technologic of the network. And what is suggested is to view the advent of Covid-19 within the cultural logic of new media in order to understand the horizon of an oncoming modernity.

Hauptbeschreibung: American economies are hotly and controversially debated both within the United States and abroad. While most discussions focus exclusively on financial resources, this volume takes a more comprehensive approach, analysing interrelations between financial and cultural capital in different historical contexts and from a variety of perspectives. It addresses the 2008 financial crisis as well as representations of economics in literary texts and films, the usage of metaphors in economic theory, opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogues between economics and cultural studies
