▼ This dissertation examines how contemporary narrative fiction in French and Spanish represents experiences of migration and the circulation of capital and goods in the globalized Atlantic. I argue that the attempt to imagine an increasingly globalized world has been accompanied by a waning interest in character development and an increased interest in what could be characterized as the spatial dimension of literature. Many recent `global fictions' present readers with impenetrable characters whose interiority is inaccessible. The lack of depth is, however, replaced by geographical breadth. As characters move through space, bringing into relation several different geographical locations, authors draw attention to transnational sites of marginalization and imagine alternative power configurations.
Several important studies have examined the engagement of Francophone writers with globalization in the late 20th and early 21st century. While these readings are sophisticated and persuasive, they remain confined within the Francophone context, rarely establishing comparisons with the Anglophone and the Hispanophone contexts. We thus end up with somewhat contradictory concepts such as Francophone or Hispanophone transnationalism,`world literature' and globalization. This seems even more paradoxical given that several Francophone writers, including Maryse Condé and Edouard Glissant, have set their novels in non-Francophone countries. My dissertation undertakes translinguistic literary criticism in order to address this gap in critical discourse.
I limit my focus to what I term the Atlantic world economy, that is, the countries touched by the Atlantic triangle and marked by a history of population displacement and cultural mixing inaugurated through colonial slavery. The authors I have selected position their work in the Atlantic framework. Some more explicitly, like Fatou Diome whose novel is entitled The belly of the Atlantic. Others, like Maryse Condé and Roberto Bolaño, by moving protagonists between some of the major centers of the Atlantic economy. They all, however, pose the question of a globalized Atlantic, distancing themselves from the Atlantic as a triangular space, and reframing it as a space encompassing many poles. The notion of the globalized Atlantic further underscores the tension between a regional framework and a globalized world within which these authors are operating.
At the turn of the 21st century movements resisting the effects of global capitalism have come into existence in several countries, including Egypt, Chile, the United States, Brazil and Turkey. These modes of activism require us to recalibrate some of our geopolitical categories as a way of thinking about transnational citizenship. The authors in my corpus deploy literary
strategies that complement the activism of global socioeconomic and political movements. This dissertation focuses on their imagining of narrative fiction as a space that is both globalized and resistant to the dominant political and…

Fiscal Morality and the State: Commerce, Law, and Taxation
in Middle English Popular Romance.

▼ As a contribution to what has emerged categorically in
medieval scholarship as gentry studies, this dissertation looks at
the impact the development of obligatory taxation beyond customary
dues and fees had on late medieval English society with particular
emphasis given to the emergent view of the medieval subject as a
commercial-legal entity. Focusing on Middle English popular romance
and drawing on the tenets of practice theory, I demonstrate the
merger of commerce and law as a point of identification in the
process of meaning and value making for late medieval gentry
society. The introductory chapter provides an overview of the
historical development of taxation and the emergence of royal
authority as an institutionalized form of public welfare, or a
state. The second chapter examines the use of contractual language
in Sir Amadace to highlight the presence of the state as an
extra-legal authority able to enforce contractual agreements. The
attention paid to the consequences of economic insolvency stage a
gentry identity circumscribed by its position in a network of
credit and debt that links the individual to neighbor, state, and
God. The third chapter explores conservative responses to economic
innovation during the period and the failure of the state to
protect the proprietary rights of landowners in Sir Cleges.
Specifically, the chapter examines the strain the gradual
re-definition of land as a movable property put on the proprietary
rights of landowners and challenged the traditional manorial
organization of feudal society by subjecting large estates to
morcellation in the commercial market. The fourth chapter examines
the socioeconomic foundations of late medieval English sovereignty
in Sir Gawain and the Carle of Carlisle. By dismissing the cultural
fantasies of power and authority bound up in the Arthurian
narrative, the author reveals the practical economic mechanisms of
exchange that sustain and legitimize sociopolitical authority,
resulting in a corporate vision of English society. Collectively,
the analyses demonstrate the influence the socioeconomic
circumstances of gentry society exerted on the production and
consumption of Middle English popular romance and the importance of
commerce, law, and taxation in the formation of a sense of self in
late medieval England.

▼ "Haggling With the Muses: Negotiating Value in 18th Century English Poetry" argues that English poets writing in the 1730s and 1740s were substantially engaged with the emergent
economic system as a result of their professional aspirations. In particular, I present an in-depth examination and reading of Edward Young's Night Thoughts, and show how Young channeled his frustrations at his lack of success into imagining an
economic system that would privilege his own efforts. Young's poetry grapples with the concept of labor value vs. market value, the meaning of capital, and what it means to be an
economic individual. His use of religious idiom enhances the complexity of his imagined system. Night Thoughts is part of the so-called Graveyard School; and in this dissertation, I investigate whether Young's engagement with economics was an isolated phenomenon, or a more widespread aspect of poetry from this period. Specifically, I examine the works of Thomas Parnell, James Thomson, and William Shenstone. I also explore the concepts of otherworldliness and virtue, both of which have been strongly associated with graveyard poetry. Earlier studies of eighteenth-century verse have often treated poems from the Graveyard School as products of simplistic religious piety, and as a transitional point between the high wit of the early eighteenth century and Romanticism. My research indicates that it is essential to the
economic and professional situations of poets in order to understand the concerns that are likely to appear in their verse. I argue that eighteenth-century reading practices encouraged readers to extract short excerpts of verse for epigraphs and commonplace books, and that these activities obscured the
economic content of Night Thoughts, and were responsible for the reputation of Young and his contemporaries as authors of melancholic Christian verse.

Economic Crisis and American Literature, 1819-1857.

▼ My dissertation demonstrates how literary
responses to the United States’ first widespread financial
crises—the Panics of 1819, 1837, and 1857—gave form to the abstract
but increasingly violent forces governing the brave new
economic
world. Previous
economic critics, working under the rubric of the
New Historicism, tend to emphasize how
literature rehearses
arguments about the U.S. economy at the level of theme or plot.
Such scholarship, however, obscures how literary form itself
conveys
economic policy. Over the course of this project’s five
chapters, I argue that Washington Irving’s picturesque sketches
(1819-20), James Fenimore Cooper’s discursive romances (1821-23),
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s transcendentalist addresses (1837), Catharine
Maria Sedgwick’s didactic allegories (1836-37), and Herman
Melville’s anti-novel (1857) are fundamentally concerned with the
economic problems of panics, including excess, abundance, and
scarcity. Literary engagement with panic
reveals itself, for example, in the sprawling style of Cooper’s The
Spy advocates the expansion of free trade to spur the economy in
the early 1820s. Performing opposite work, the carefully controlled
allegory of Sedgwick’s “Who, and What, Has Not Failed” attempts to
contain the rapid growth of the money supply in 1837. Most
radically, Melville’s The Confidence-Man, in resisting narrative
closure, belies the blind optimism in market outcomes driving
investment in 1857. Through readings of an array of panic-era
literature, then, this project concludes that the coincidence of
crises and important moments in U.S. literary history, typically
mentioned in standard histories as incidental, is no accident:
financial distress demanded artistry, and
literature thrived as the
market crashed.

▼ My dissertation begins with the possibility and implications of identifying a body of
literature that is in some essential way,
economic literature. In particular, I examine the history of business novels and the businessman as our most common and overt ways of representing the economy in
literature. Looking beyond the traditional friction between aesthetic and commercial systems of value, I seek to identify the ways in which the features of business novels that so often lead to their status as minor novel arise from tension between the constructed nature of narrative and theories of the economy as spontaneously ordered.
In “The Emergence of the Businessman in the American Novel” I argue that literary representations of the businessman developed in parallel, during the second-half of the nineteenth century, with the transformation and expansion of the concept of work to include professional management as a potential but contested form of productive labor.
Identifying the early use of business management as a potential solution to problems of debt repayment and labor pricing, I examine the way that scarcity become a driving tension for business novels. In “A Romance of Scarcity” I describe the dual tendency of business novels to produce their plot in terms of managing scarcity and also to retreat from such problems in order to arrive at the kind of resolution conventional to novels of the era.
During the post-Gilded Age era, when businessmen became primarily characterized as captains of industry, I argue that the misidentification of determinist
economic theories hampers our ability to understand naturalistic accounts of the economy as a way of representing the economy as non-deterministic. “Literary Naturalism and
Economic Calculability” suggests that early twentieth-century theories about the impossibility of
economic calculation outline some of the same beliefs and conditions described in
literature as giving rise to the economy as unknowable and unpredictable.
Examining the way that current discourses on class difference and inequality tend to overwrite older accounts that figure industrial poverty in terms of constraints. “From Phelps to Piketty” outlines the way in which certain literary representations of beliefs about the relationship between capital and labor are better explained by a certain kind of marginal thinking rather than the consolidation of class interests.
Finally, in “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” I argue that anti-formalist
economic arguments about the impossibly of
economic expertise are part of the essential, conceptual context for understanding the way that some post WWII business novels problematically resist the notion of heroism in business and yet do so using enough conventional tropes of business success stories to make that resistance difficult to identify.
Ultimately, I suggest that combining literary and
economic notions of marginality can help explain the simultaneous affinity and tension within narrative representations of the economy.

▼ Despite the attention paid by economists and journalists to the abundance of material garbage in recent years, few conceptual understandings of the term "waste" as a socio-
economic function are offered in
economic discourse. Essentially, waste is treated as the unwanted-but-inevitable byproduct of otherwise beneficial productive processes. But as a few scholars, authors and general critics of the capitalist world economy have implied, the increasing production of waste and garbage (in both material and social senses) over the past century is not simply an inevitable and unfortunate side effect of a capitalist mode of production but in fact its primary operating logic. As a thorough examination of the development of capitalism into what Immanuel Wallerstein has termed a "world-system" demonstrates, the primacy of capital accumulation, one of the essential principles of contemporary capitalist production, is accompanied by a complementary logic of disposability. Any solutions to or methods of ameliorating the ceaseless production of waste provided by contemporary economists are thus formed upon these very principles. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the
economic systems inscribed in the novels of William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon and Eric Gansworth, and to examine the convergences and divergences between these systems and those articulated within the discourse of contemporary economics. In
J R,
Gravity’s Rainbow and
Smoke Dancing, Gaddis, Pynchon and Gansworth each construct, critique and satirize capitalist
economic models, particularly insofar as each author’s model is driven by such a logic of disposability. In so doing, the authors in turn confront the global system of the production and dissemination of
literature, constituting a “world-system” in and of itself. The inherence of disposability within the logic of capitalism, made so clear by each of these authors, demonstrates the significance (and, indeed, the urgency) of establishing alternative frameworks of
economic discourse. I argue, then, that works of
literature can (and do) play fundamental roles in discussions on contemporary and historical economics.

▼ Research regarding preschool children’s vocabulary
from low socioeconomic status (SES) has shown that these children
tend to have more limited vocabulary then children from higher SES.
The people they communicate with may impact their acquisition of
vocabulary. This study examined differences between vocabulary used
by Head Start teachers during an “arts and craft” / dramatic play
activity and vocabulary used by low SES parents from a study
conducted by Weizman and Snow (2001). Weizman and Snow found that
99% of maternal input, used by low SES parent participants
consisted of words that fall within the 3,000 most frequently used
words in English. In comparison, the current study found that 91%
of the vocabulary used by Head Start participants fell within the
3,000 most frequently used words.

▼ This thesis analyses the significance of
socio-historical conceptions of money in relation to the
development of American literary modernism from 1896 to 1944.
Taking as its starting point Jean-Joseph Goux’s contention that
there was a correlation between the end of gold-backed money in
France and the birth of French modernist
literature, this study
considers how far this claim is tenable in the American case. In
1896, the key debate surrounding the presidential election was over
whether money should be backed by gold or silver specie, which
became a major public issue. Faith in the gold standard was
challenged, raising the possibility that the source of monetary
value was negotiable. Subsequent policy changes, financial panics,
the Depression and the World Wars all affected public conceptions
of money, until the Bretton Woods Agreement instituted an
international gold standard supported by the gold-backed U.S.
dollar in 1944, effectively re-establishing a firm relationship
between gold and money. Since the 1990s, New
Economic Criticism has
sought to understand the ways in which money and
literature
converge throughout history. Although several studies of money and
American literary realism have been undertaken, the relationship
between money and American literary modernism specifically has
largely been overlooked in scholarship. Analysing the works of
Robert Herrick, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Dos
Passos, this thesis contends that a certain strand of American
modernism developed as a series of reflections upon the
relationship between money, value and realistic representation, in
which the limitations of realism are exposed. Calling for a
re-historicisation of the relationship between money and
literature, this study argues that particular socio-historical
moments in the story of American money emphasised the fluidity of
money, sending social conceptions of value into flux in a society
in which money functioned as the general equivalent by which all
values were measured. These moments when accepted face values were
called into question offered American writers the language and
structure by which to consider and challenge the limitations of
existing literary forms by comparing money with
literature. Both
paper money and
literature, forms of representation which function
via the inscription of words upon paper, contain an inherent
duality; they have both a material value, in terms of their
composition from paper and ink, and a deeper capacity to represent
a certain value in the society in which they circulate. Modernism
is concerned with such a duality, emphasising the materiality of
the text and exposing the text’s status as a representation that
can never equal the reality that it represents. The authors
discussed here confronted the discrepancy between written language
as a reflection of the real world and words as material constructs
in themselves through the metaphor of money, manifesting in both
textual theme and structure, where the boundaries of realist
representation are broken down via the…

▼ This dissertation is the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary study of Ottoman
economic thought within the context of modernization during the reign of Abdülhamid II (1876-1909). Drawing on a broad array of primary sources ranging from textbooks and manuals of economics to memoirs and popular fiction, it offers a new account of late Ottoman history by discussing how
economic knowledge shaped Ottoman modernization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The main focus of this dissertation is the Ottoman elite's use of "
economic savoir" in formulating their strategy for saving the empire from downfall in the age of capitalist modernity. I first provide an overview of
economic and intellectual conditions that shaped the late Ottoman
economic mindset. Then, I investigate the patterns of transplantation of ideas from French and British political economy into the Muslim-Ottoman cultural-institutional setup. In the core chapters of the dissertation (Chapters 3, 4, and 5), I analyze Hamidian-era Ottoman
economic thought on three grounds: the objective of building an "
economic" society, the emergence of
economic nationalism, and the popularization of modern
economic principles through popular fiction.
Using an interdisciplinary approach to sources, I analyze various dimensions of the impact of "
economic thinking" on the episteme of Ottoman modernism and on the Ottoman public sphere in the late nineteenth century. Moreover, I question some deeply rooted assumptions such as the "primitiveness" of late Ottoman
economic thought and the mercantilistic nature of Hamidian-era protectionism by contextualizing and historicizing
economic ideas in the late Ottoman Empire.

▼ “Doubtful Gains” argues that the concept of economic risk emerged in the early modern theater through performances of maritime peril staged at a moment of unprecedented growth for English venturing. Even as the hazards of global commerce became increasingly apparent, there existed no expression in English for risk, nor the inchoate logic by which early modern merchants attempted to manage their voyages’ losses. Yet my study shows that oceanic hazards are repeatedly worked over in “maritime drama,” an under-recognized cross-section of plays concerned with the sea, staged between the founding of the Levant Company in 1592 and the end of the Jacobean era in 1625. While the prevailing scholarly narrative has limited early modern uncertainty to inscrutable forms of “chance,” “accident,” and religious “providence,” my study shows how otherwise fragmentary knowledge was ordered in performance, implicating theater audiences in the management of new forms of uncertainty.
Recovering the emergence of risk on the early modern stage has demanded not only the analysis of a new corpus of maritime drama, but a sophisticated account of economic history constructed from the archives of English joint-stock companies and attentive to the anachronism of modern risk theory. Shakespeare’s plays, at the center of my study, are complemented by the work of Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, John Fletcher, Phillip Massinger, William Haughton, and Robert Daborne, as well as a diverse collection of prose texts. I draw on pamphlets of mercantile policy, voyage journals, and charters, and a specialized archive of financial and navigational records. Constructing an archive of plays and prose that engage with an increasingly commercial global ocean, I argue that theatrical representations of maritime hazard precipitated a new discourse of risk in early modern England.
Each of my four chapters shows how the theater helped shape one of those forms, which I term “maritime risks.” Scenes of shipwreck, piracy, enslavement, and news connected English venturing to economic vulnerability in increasingly systematic ways, helping to develop the logic of uncertainty which would come to be codified as economic risk. Shipwreck scenes in The Comedy of Errors, Eastward Ho, and The Tempest exemplify the period’s most typical hazard, demonstrating how spectators of shipwreck are central to reproducing the risk of disaster at sea. Encounters with pirates in 2 Henry VI, Hamlet, and Daborne’s A Christian Turn’d Turke establish risk within the many forms of negotiation demanded by early modern ventures, and the enslavement of Ithamore in Marlowe’s Jew of Malta launches my analysis of the risk to human agency posed by the sex trade in Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre. Finally, I address news of financial loss in Merchant of Venice and Haughton’s Englishmen for My Money, showing how risk manifests through the unreliability of staged merchant correspondence. The notion of maritime risk that emerges from these plays builds on contemporary oceanic studies…

▼ This dissertation, Lumpen: Vagrancies of a Concept from Marx to Fanon (and on), tracks the concept of the lumpenproletariat from its coinage by Karl Marx through its reworking by Franz Fanon, the Black Panthers and others in the context of the colonial liberation and Black Power movements, and onwards into contemporary debates about populism, identity, politics, and the end of work. From its origins an unstable concept, the lumpenproletariat raises a series of interrelated questions about the relation of class to interest, interest to identity, and identity to politics. Succinctly, the dissertation asks: what happens to the Marxian project when the future of productive labor seems in doubt, both as a source of capital valorization and as a foundation for political action? Contemporary engagement with the category of the lumpenproletariat has typically focused on the latter as a symbol of the irreducible autonomy of the political, ignoring the concept’s empirical referent. Separately, a growing body of
literature has grappled with the increase of economically redundant surplus populations produced, in part, by technological automation, a phenomenon obliquely reflected in recent philosophical fascination with, for instance, bare life, necropolitics and the abject. Such work has however rarely considered the political ramifications of such transformations. What we would need, then, is a theoretical framework capable of grasping both aspects of this twofold problematic—the determinacy of dispossession, the indeterminacy of its political expression. The beginnings of such a framework can be found, I argue, in the writings on the lumpenproletariat in the work of Frantz Fanon, James Boggs, and the Black Panthers. Developing their scattered insights, I argue that the lumpenproletariat names both the tendential production of an economically redundant surplus population and the lack of any automatic correlation between this (or any) social condition and political subjectivation. This gap between
economic and political, structure and
subject, becomes then the space for the creative articulation of a collective
subject as a properly political project. This is precisely the task of a socialist politics today. Whether in terms of its objective position at the point of production or its subjective consciousness of the need for revolution, the decline of the industrial proletariat has often been figured as synonymous with that of socialist politics. In contrast, my dissertation suggestions that a recuperation of the rich and half-forgotten legacy of the lumpenproletariat emerging out of the Black radical tradition can help provide a model for constructing a powerful socialist movement in the present.

▼ “Novel Economies” demonstrates that American
literature played a fundamental role in enabling large-scale
economic change in the United States, namely it helped acclimate and introduce the reading public to the virtues of commercial exchange and industrial production. Although current scholarship on early American
literature assumes that
literature either reacts to or chronicles the public’s understanding of the shifting terms of
economic progress in the young nation, “Novel Economies” argues that
literature enabled the U.S.’s turn towards commercial capitalism by adapting the productive practices associated with republican virtue. American authors redefined the labor practices that were supposed to ensure national strength and stability. With an archive that ranges from Benjamin Franklin’s
economic treatises and belle lettres to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s public addresses and popular writings, “Novel Economies” highlights literature’s role in constructing a direct link between profitability, productivity, and virtue in the minds of American readers.
“Novel Economies” explores a variety of literary genres and texts to illustrate the ways American authors engaged with and challenged the values of
economic republicanism. By beginning with texts of the early Republic, such as Franklin’s Autobiography and Stephen Burroughs’ Memoirs, this project illuminates the ways that the terms of American republicanism underwrite literary presentations of citizenship, productive labor, and the individual’s relationship to public and private institutions. The impact of literature’s engagement with the ideals of republicanism is manifested in Martha Meredith Read’s and Sarah Savage’s seduction and sentimental fiction and James Fenimore Cooper’s historical romances; genres that transform in order to adapt republican values and definitions of virtue to fit the United States’ changing socioeconomic and political climates. Finally, “Novel Economies” turns to the United States on the brink of disunion with Emerson’s public speeches and Nathaniel Beverly Tucker’s secessionist fiction, illustrating the ways
economic republican values served as a rhetorical touchstone for the political arguments made by both abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates. When the logics of
economic republicanism are highlighted as supporting both small-scale agrarianism and commercial capitalism, then literature’s investment in promulgating and adapting these ideals exposes narrative as a key catalyst to U.S.
economic change.

▼ This dissertation studies money in French comedy from the late Renaissance to the early eighteenth century. It examines how comic theater, by showing new forms of money, reflected and problematized concepts of value, credit, and trust at a moment when France's financial and monetary system was rapidly evolving.
The first chapter provides an overview of money in Renaissance farces and comedies, and briefly examines treatments of the subject in other European literary traditions in this time period. It shows how farces presented a variety of simple currencies, and how comedy, with its more complex portrayals, developed out of this genre. The second chapter covers the period 1600-1670, when metallic currencies began to be portrayed in more detail, and comedies began to show interrogations of social and monetary value together. Chapter three focuses on 1670-1684, when a new generation of playwrights brought paper money onto the stage where it took on a new dramatic role as bearer of value. The fourth chapter examines the years 1685-1700, an increasingly difficult time for the French economy, when paper money was manipulated in concurrence with portrayals of "counterfeit" noblemen, the kind of dual counterfeiting that the stage was ideally suited to portray. The final chapter covers the years 1700-1720, the period just prior to the John Law affair, when the stage was used to show full-scale financial systems in the hands of individuals of common social origins. Comic theater in these years was simultaneously a reflection of monetary development and a venue for shaping perceptions of money and those who handled it.
The dissertation aims to track the development of theatrical representations of evolving monetary concepts, particularly the passage from coin to paper. Focusing specifically on comedy, a genre whose subject had a unique relationship with the social milieu of its spectators, the goal of this work is to show how playwrights, at the same time as they helped define a literary genre, both reflected and contributed to the development of economic thought.

▼ Fables of Development: Capitalism and Social Imaginaries in Spain (1950-1975) analyses the cultural logics of the Spanish developmentalism by examining literary, audiovisual and artistic practices and collective social life in the interval 1950-1975, when the Franco dictatorship turned from autarchy to industrial modernization. Global accounts of progress, modernity and
economic growth entered in tension with the specificities of the Spanish cultural and material productions in the transition from the postwar imaginaries of hunger to the so-called “Spanish
economic miracle.” It focuses on a basic paradox: why is it that this “
economic miracle” —purportedly secular, rational, and technocratic process— is fictionally portrayed through narratives in which providential or supernatural elements are often involved? In order to answer this question, this work aims at providing a description of the cultural logics of the circulation and the distribution of capital in the process of
economic liberalization in the country.
Fables of Development is divided into two chapters. Chapter one studies the Spanish accounts of the USA
economic and military interventions abroad during the Cold War, as portrayed in mass-media, comic books, and science-fiction novels and plays that reveal the links between technology, sovereignty, and surveillance in a split global
economic order. Chapter two explores the fables of solidarity that challenged the national-catholic politics.
The fantasies of access to capital in equal opportunities through games of chance are understood, in this context, as an element that pre-configured a society of potential consumers through the circulation of capital that allowed the socialization of profits through gambling. These narratives of the redistribution of capital grew parallel to the inequalities fostered by charity, as a device used by the State for the social cohesion in the management
of the public welfare. By examining social imaginaries and practices as well as some fictions created by cultural producers linked to the regime or to the anti-Franco opposition, the dissertation explains the cultural logics that give meaning to the developmentalism in Spain.

▼ This dissertation explores literary economies of prose in German-language
literature from the 1830s to the early twentieth century, granting particular focus to questions of
economic value. The problem of value, this study argues, becomes a central literary concern after the end of the Kunstperiode (Heine) when the question of literature’s relation to everyday life – the central problem of prosaic art – turns into a reflection on the value of
literature as art, as commodity, as work. While value remains an elusive problem in aesthetic,
economic, and moral discourses of the nineteenth and early-twentieth century, literary authors such as Ludwig Tieck, Gottfried Keller, and Robert Walser generate an arsenal of value forms (Marx) that, in different ways, interrogate and shape relations between
literature and the world, life and art, work and play, and, most of all, the status of the
economic in literary texts. I analyze three value forms in Tieck, Keller, and Walser: lack and surplus; credit and debt; performance (Leistung) and invention. The problem of prose’s value is literalized in Ludwig Tieck’s novella Des Lebens Überfluß (1838), which documents how a last-resort Romantic attempt to turn the lack of poetry in a prosaic world into surplus runs up against value’s sine qua non: finitude or, in Tieck’s novella, need. I then analyze relations of credit and debt in Gottfried Keller’s 1874 novella Kleider machen Leute, which, I argue, engages central discussions about what constitutes value in late-nineteenth-century political economy, philosophy, and aesthetics as it reframes the older narrative trope of fortune in terms of a capitalist transfiguration: the risky turn from insolvency to solvency and vice versa. A last chapter argues for a subtype of literary genre, which I call the Leistungsroman, and which I trace specifically to Robert Walser’s novel Der Gehülfe (1908). Walser’s novel about clerical work and the insolvency of an entrepreneurial engineer pivots not around the question of Bildung but around the clerical employee’s (often written) job performance in the context of a division of labor between invention and performance (Leistung). The move to a Leistungsroman enacts a transvaluation of the modern novel, and the values of human and literary innovation and productivity that underwrite it, by reconfiguring the novel’s relation to work, action, and invention.

▼ Since their introduction into English in the
mid-sixteenth Century, accommodations have registered weighty
concepts in religious, economic, and political discourse: they
represented the process by which divine principles could be adapted
to human understanding, the non-interest property loans that were
the bedrock of Christian neighborliness, and a political accord
that would satisfy all warring factions. These important ideas,
however, give way to misdirection, mutation, and suspicion that can
all be traced back to the word accommodation in some way—the word
itself suggests ambiguous or shared agency and constitutes a blank
form that might be overwritten with questionable values or content.
This dissertation examines the semantic range and rhetorical value
of the word accommodation, which garnered attention for being a
“perfumed term” (Jonson), a “good phrase” (Shakespeare), a
stumbling block (Milton), and idolatry (anonymous author). The word
itself is acknowledged to have an extra-lingual value, some kind of
efficacious appeal or cultural capital that periodically interferes
with its meaning. These tendencies align it with different modes of
fetishism—idolatry, commodity fetishism, and factishism—which I
will explicate and synthesize through an analysis of
accommodation’s various careers and explicit commentary evidenced
in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century texts.

▼ In “Money and the Man: Economics and Identity in Late
Medieval English
Literature,” I explore the relationship between
the profound
economic changes of the late medieval period and
shifting models of subjectivity. I argue that often-noted
economic
transformations, such as the expansion of the money economy, the
commercialization of English society, and the general increase in
personal wealth, had consequences far beyond the marketplace.
Indeed, such changes had a significant impact on how people
imagined themselves and others to be defined, causing a shift from
societal models of birth and function to paradigms emphasizing
economic activity and income. Increasingly, I suggest, being was
related to having. Further, I posit that these changes were
awkwardly embraced, generating widespread yet local anxieties among
various groups, such as the gentry, the religious, and the merchant
class. It is the work of this dissertation to explore a group of
texts—romances, saint’s lives, and ballads—which chronicle the
struggle to formulate meaningful identities in a society in
flux.

▼ Since the late nineteenth century, France has
been confronted with the rapid instauration of consumerism and its
society has been shaped by the tension between the political ideal
of everyone under one roof and the consumerist ideal of everything
under one roof. This study investigates representations of modern
shopping sites (department stores and large format retailers such
as supermarkets and hypermarkets) and elucidates how
representations of retail stores in
literature and other textual
media have been constructed based on the opposing polarities of
<i>lieux de mémoire</i>, intentionally defined as
places of identity, of social relations, and of tangible history,
and <i>non-lieux</i>, described as unconcerned with
identity, non-relational, and ahistorical. This dichotomy, I claim,
is the product of a fundamental conflict between a nostalgic view
of a nationalistic past and an unavoidable adoption of the modern.
Focusing on the diachronic dimension of French
retail and building on McNair's wheel of retailing, I theorize the
model of the cultural wheel of retailing in order to illuminate how
and why the same type of store is constructed as either a site of
memory or a non-place at different time periods. Then, shifting my
attention to the post-1945 period, I analyze the emergence and
spread of large format retailers by successively focusing on each
of the five meaning-making <i>loci</i> of culture:
production, consumption, regulation, identity, and representation.
With these insights in mind, I move to the investigation of six
postwar French novels (Christiane Rochefort's <i>Les Stances
à Sophie</i>, Georges Perec's <i>Les Choses</i>,
Simone de Beauvoir's <i>Les Belles images</i>, J.M.G.
Le Clézio's <i>Les Géants</i>, Frédéric Beigbeder's
<i>99 Francs</i>, and Jean-Christophe Rufin's
<i>Globalia</i>) and identify the presence in them of a
chronotope of dystopic consumption, a sub-surface combinational
scheme that manifests itself through the presence of six synergetic
themes: shopping, the happiness myth, advertising, good consumers
and bad citizens, Americanization, and books and reading as
antidotes to consumerism. Since large format retailers are both
objects of fiction and sites for commercializing literary texts, I
also investigate the problematic journey of
literature from the
shelves of bookstores to the shelves of the <i>grandes
surfaces</i>.

▼ This dissertation offers a sustained examination of the economic paradigms that structure meaning and narrative in Russian literature of the 1830s-1840s, the formative years of nineteenth-century Russian prose. Exploring works by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Faddei Bulgarin, I view tropes such as spending, counterfeiting, hoarding, and gambling, as well as plots of mad or blocked ambition, in relation to the cultural and economic history of Nicholas I's reign and in the context of the importation of economic discourse and literary conventions from abroad. Furthermore, I consider the impact of culturally and economically conditioned affects – ambition, avarice, and embarrassment – on narrative tone. From the post-Revolutionary French plot of social ambition to the classic character type of the miser, the western economic models Russian writers routinely invoked seemed strangely out of place in Russia's autocratic and serf-based society. At a historical moment when the question of Russian specificity was frequently posed with reference to Europe, and the modern European discourses of aesthetics, the emotions, and political economy were solidifying in opposition to one another, Russian writers made prolific and paradoxical use of economic paradigms to explore the role of literature and the nature of feeling in a society in which the state, rather than the bourgeoisie, was the primary motor of history. Incorporating the perspectives of New Economic Criticism as well as the history of emotions, Money and Mad Ambition strives to account for the interrelationship between Russian literature and economics in the second quarter of the nineteenth century.

▼ Rozprawa skupiona jest na badaniu dawnej praktyki literackiej i konkretnych tekstów – zarówno tych, w których pojawiały się kategorie ekonomiczne (takie jak kupno, sprzedaż, zysk itp.), jak również takich, w których zjawiska z zakresu szeroko pojętej praktyki gospodarczej znalazły swój opis w języku literackim pozbawionym wyrazów znaczeniowo związanych z ekonomią. W centrum zainteresowań badawczych znajduje się jednak człowiek i tekstowe manifestacje jego tożsamości. Praca powstała jako efekt badań z zakresu antropologii literatury prowadzonych na tekstach kultury europejskiej od wczesnego średniowiecza po oświecenie.
Główna część pracy poświęcona jest kształtującym się w dobie renesansu i wczesnego baroku ideałom ekonomicznym, które artykułowane były również w przestrzeni literatury. Ideały te powracają w twórczości późniejszych pisarzy (W. Potockiego, A. M. Fredry i innych) aż po publicystykę wczesnego oświecenia (na przykład w pismach Jabłonowskiego czy Garczyńskiego)
Trwałość tych ideałów istotna jest dla kultury staropolskiej. Stają się one podstawowym elementem powszechnych przekonań związanych z ekonomią i etyką bogacenia się.
Streszczana dysertacja dowodzi, iż w kształtowaniu się tych ideałów najistotniejszą rolę odegrała literatura. To bowiem właśnie literatura miała tę nieprawdopodobną moc upowszechniania przekonań, myśli i idei, a także całego systemu aksjologicznego, który trwale kształtuje elementy powszechnej świadomości wśród przedstawicieli danej strefy kulturowej.

▼ This dissertation examines texts that thematize the crises of trust resulting from the pressures of early modern England's expanding credit economy. A century before the founding of the Bank of England, early modern credit remained an emotive and moral currency, presumably dependent on affective ties, moral obligations, knowledge of a potential debtor's character and a concern for their well-being. And yet, in this period of widespread mobility, immigration, urbanization, conspicuous consumption, and heightened levels of debt litigation, creditors and debtors were often strangers bound only by a legal bond that carried penalties of surprising severity. At this critical moment of emerging capitalistic practices and their attendant social and moral disruptions, Elizabethan and Jacobean authors are drawn to the discursive interplay between the legal problem of debt and those debts of love and social obligation it threatened. As an emerging ethos shaped by market relations and commercial culture pervades, complicates, and reconfigures traditional structures of affective relations - Christian fellowship, friendship, marriage, kinship, and service - early modern writers exploit the age-old interdependence of
economic and moral discourses. The resulting discourse of debt is characterized by a strategic slippage between debt's
economic and emotive registers. The texts included in this study deploy this discourse to achieve ends at once self-interested and moralistic. Some debtors use the discourse to perpetually defer payment by reorganizing their debt relations, while others use it to resist disenfranchisement by reorienting the basis of credibility. Through its inscription into law with the 1571 Act Against Usury, this discourse enables the advancement of predatory lending as an acceptable violation of traditional social obligations. At the same time, its inscription into genres such as city comedy and domestic tragedy show the discourse to be a rhetorical antidote for the worst excesses of both
economic and affective debt relations. On a broader scale, this project reveals a relationship between
economic and affective bonds that is more complex than we have previously understood. As the two begin to move towards increasingly distinct fields, the implications of their shared rhetorical and conceptual basis become imbued with an unprecedented signifying power for social intervention.

▼ Milton’s use of economic tropes has attracted very little critical attention, and the connections between economics and theology in his thought have not yet been explored. Blair Hoxby’s Mammon’s Music: Literature and Economics in the Age of Milton (2002) focuses on the influence of economic ideas on Milton’s political thought, arguing that the poet persistently associates trade monopolies with autocratic abuses of monarchical power. David Hawkes places Milton’s lifelong professional usury at the centre of his 2009 biography, John Milton: A Hero of Our Time, and his 2011 essay, ‘Milton and Usury,’ fruitfully reads key passages from Paradise Lost in relation to contemporary tracts on usury. Hoxby and Hawkes have astutely highlighted the relationship between economics and Milton’s thought, but neither scholar has pursued these connections into Milton’s theology. Economic ideas lie at the very heart of Milton’s soteriology, and my thesis offers a historicised investigation of Milton’s corpus, demonstrating that the tropes of contemporary economic thought were crucial to his understanding of sin and, more importantly, salvation. Chapter 1 traces the roots of this economic soteriology to the economic and theological treatises of the 1620s and early 1630s, which argued that money must be not stockpiled but circulated, and that salvation was a transaction between man and God. Chapter 2 considers how Ben Jonson and George Herbert, whose work Milton was familiar with in his youth, used The Staple of Newes (1626) and The Temple (1633) to respond to contemporary developments in economic and theological thought. Chapter 3 reads Milton’s early works as studies of hoarding and consumption, traced through the debate over sexual stockpiling in Comus (1634), the sinfulness of a hoarding nation in the History of Moscovia (early 1640s), and the clergy torn between their compulsions to covet and consume in Of Reformation (1641). Chapter 4 finds in Gerrard Winstanley’s Fire in the Bush (1650) an explicitly economic understanding of the Fall, and demonstrates how Milton’s political and religious writings of the 1650s betray an anxiety that the English cannot govern their economic appetites and, therefore, themselves. Chapter 5 examines how Milton uses tropes of investment, profit, loss, and repayment in the Christian Doctrine and Paradise Lost (1667) to represent redemption as a transaction between Jesus and God on man’s behalf. Chapter 6 reads the History of Britain (1670) as an indictment of isolationist economic policies, with Milton demonstrating that free interactions between peoples facilitate national refinement, and thus strangers become saviours.

▼ This dissertation is based on two years of field research in Sudan, in Khartoum; the three capitals of Darfur; and Bentiu, Unity State, at the border between North and South Sudan. Building on a now substantial literature in critical humanitarian studies, my work focuses on the emergence of new economic forms, circuits, and entitlements that accompany humanitarian aid. These include the influx of ration cards, trade routes that deliberately shadow humanitarian convoys and draw in aid recipients, and entitlements based on kinship ties to injured or displaced victims of conflict. For well over a decade anthropologists have studied the social and political work humanitarianism does in excess of its stated intention to relieve the suffering of civilians in regions of national and political disasters. As numerous scholars have shown, humanitarian discourses and practices intentionally and unintentionally transform local and regional political values and institutions by altering the social relations that subtend them. I pursue how these transformations intervene into core categories of how people understand themselves to have status in a social world.
The manuscript focuses on the one ways in which people and events are evaluated as having status within humanitarian logics. It explores the nexus between this logics and the creation of novel economic subjects, values, and institutions that are neither foreign nor local, neither neoliberal nor traditional. They are, rather, a glimpse of something the manuscript refers to as humanitarian economies, with all dimensions of the economic intended. These include new forms of dependency and altered structures of political authority. But they also include new strategies of local speculation based on humanitarian rubrics of recognizing need. For instance, I track the circulation and resale of objects of material necessity, such as grain, cooking oil, or work tools distributed by aid agencies. I demonstrate the ways in which such objects begin to function as general equivalents; they become a form of currency, and a vehicle for the storage, accumulation and transmission of wealth. But on the other hand, the manuscript is just as focused on the circulation of universal values of protection, and their transformation as local actors pick them up and deploy them in their social worlds.
In other words, as local actors come to understand how humanitarian actors assess crisis, they produce a second order assessment of where aid is likely to go and thus what would be a profitable investment. They also produce second order deployments of how injury and livelihood is evaluated. Such practices transform basic dynamics of social entitlement. And they also change how people think of themselves and their neighbors as economic and political subjects. Meanwhile, critical infrastructures - from irrigation channels to pharmacy supply routes to radio transmitters - become the objects of heightened ethical scrutiny. Infrastructure comes to stand in for good governance, stability, and…

▼ Honoré de Balzac, through his monumental cycle of novels and short stories that constitute La Comédie humaine, bears witness to early nineteenth-century, post-revolutionary, French society. This analysis will situate six of his key works within the more subtle yet equally powerful revolution also taking place, that of industrialization. His belief that things (les choses) represent the physical manifestation (la représentation matérielle) of thought required that he place a particular emphasis on society’s
economic environment and each individual’s socio-
economic status since the acquisition of such objects necessitates financial means (1, 9). “Gobseck” (1830), La Maison Nucingen (1838), Eugénie Grandet (1833), La Cousine Bette (1846), Histoire de la grandeur et de la décadence de César Birotteau (1837), and “L’Illustre Gaudissart” (1833) depict the transformation of the French economy from an agricultural base to one underpinned by industrial products. The diminished importance of agriculture, which prior to the nineteenth century constituted the primary store of financial value, gives birth to a new source of wealth found in modern financial instruments that remain the essential investment vehicle in today’s society. This study traces the establishment of the necessary institutional structures to support this burgeoning economy alongside the evolution of financial products from credit, to bonds, to commercial diversification, before reaching pure spéculation. It reveals a trend toward investments of increasing levels of intangibility that Balzac begins to ridicule in preference to a conservative investment strategy that favors bonds. Whereas Thomas Piketty in Le Capital au XXIe siècle (Seuil, 2013) supplements his
economic study with literary depiction, the current project inverts that approach with literary analysis supported by
economic evidence. It extends upon the critical work of Jean-Hervé Donnard’s Les Réalités économiques et sociales dans La Comédie humaine (Armand Colin, 1961), which asserts that the central purpose of Balzac’s work is to examine the message conveyed in the financial details Balzac deemed indispensable to his story of manners in nineteenth-century French society. Despite his well-known personal financial difficulties and an extensive bibliography of scholars approaching his work from a Marxist perspective, I present Balzac as an astute financial adviser and proponent of capitalist ideals.

▼ This study analyses literary depictions of the Canadian city in representative contemporary (twentieth- and twenty-first-century) English-Canadian short fiction and poetry by black Canadian writers Austin Clarke, Wayde Compton and Dionne Brand. Although their generic and aesthetic approaches as well as the specific historical contexts out of which they emerge vary considerably, the works in this study each exhibit what douard Glissant, in his eponymously titled book, calls a poetics of relation between the past and the present (42). Their work challenges our understanding of the contemporary city by drawing attention to and dismantling enduring hegemonic and homogeneous representations of the Canadian metropolis and by rearticulating the city through a black gaze and sensibility. Clarke's, Compton's and Brand's representations of black city spaces, places and peoples probe the entrenched historical and ideological systems and legacies that continue to influence black urban geographies and the ways they are portrayed in and by various media, institutions and the collective imagination. Their politically charged and socially relevant literary inquiries lead to complex, layered, hopeful and often contradictory, ambivalent and vexing visions of the contemporary Canadian city. Each depiction of the city confronts and complicates the ongoing material and theoretical erasure of black urban spaces and places in the nation and the national literary corpus that helps define it. Importantly, these idiosyncratic fictional and poetic portraits both invoke and dispel dominant notions of black city dwellers, black spaces and black places as socially and culturally monolithic harbingers of violence, disorder, disease and death and thus ask us to re-evaluate our own assumptions about contemporary Canadian metropolitan life. The present analysis approaches the topic of the contemporary black Canadian city in
literature through a compelling theoretical perspective that argues for a direct, ongoing and contiguous relationship between the colonial plantation and the contemporary metropolis. Specifically, this project examines literary representations of the contemporary city under the rubric of plantation futuresa spatial-temporal conceptual device that reads contemporary black urban spaces through and against the history of the colonial plantation and the distorted logics that arose from the perverse culture of plantation slavery (McKittrick, Plantation Futures 2).
