The president's economy: parity in presidential party performance.(e-journal)

Have Democratic presidents since World War II had economic records that were superior to those of their Republican counterparts? In a previous study, I reported findings that there were no significant differences between the economic records of the presidential parties once the conditions of the economy they inherited from their predecessor were taken into account. Comiskey and Marsh challenged…

The cultural economy of postconsensus television.(e-journal)

This article analyzes the production and popularization of current iconic televisual fictions from a cultural economic point of view. It argues that postconsensus shows, where social meanings are renewed rather than reproduced, are both symptom and cause of the emergence of a new type of media landscape, where the cultural articulation of the dynamics of exclusion and incorporation are key. The…

Economy against prescriptivism: internal and expernal factors of language cha…

This paper provides a short overview of some principles of the Minimalist Program, as originally outlined in Chomsky (1995). Within this framework, sentences are constructed in as economic a way as possible, e.g. movement is restricted. I formulate a few of these economy principles more precisely (the Head Preference Principle and the Late Merge Principle) and then go on to examine several case…

The consumer production journey: marketing to consumers as co-aproducers in t…

New digital technologies not only support consumers in better fulfilling their own consumption needs but also enable them to create greater value for other consumers. These new consumer co-production activities, collectively referred to as the sharing economy, require firms to rethink their role in the marketing value creation process. Firms need to define new marketing actions that create v…

Modernity and the masturbator: the non-human economy, excess and non-gendered…

This article considers Tarsem Singh's serial-killer thriller The Cell within the context of desire and excess, gender distinctions and concerns about abnormality and monstrosity. These critical preoccupations are explored in relation to Foucault's and Latour's notions of modernity and its divisive practices which usefully articulate the creation of non-human categories. I argue that The Cell pr…

The jump-started economy and the ready-made state: a theoretical reconsiderat…

For obvious reasons, the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) is widely seen as a unique and exceptional case of postcommunist transformation. As a result of its swift and complete incorporation into the Federal Republic of Germany, it is generally not included in comparative transformation studies. This article proposes a reinterpretation of the East German experience that stresses its char…

As a critique of The Bell Curve, this article briefly explores ideas about intelligence, "race," and the relationship of those ideas to the place of Blacks in America's political economy. The analysis examines the role of intellectuals in their respective periods in shaping knowledge about intelligence and race. The eugenics movement, including its leaders, and the relationship of their ideas t…

Comparing Digital Communication Systems/An empirical framework for analysing …

This article offers a research tool for comparative studies of digital communication systems. It brings together the fields of infrastructure studies, Internet governance, and political economy of the Internet with the tradition of systemic media analysis and argues that existing frameworks are inadequate for capturing regulatory and power structures in a complex digital environment. In the art…

Pioneering e-sport: the experience economy and the marketing of early 1980s a…

This article sets out to historicize the development of e-sport (organized competitive digital gaming) in the early 1980s using three new conceptual frameworks. We identify e-sport as an accompaniment of the broader embryonic gamer culture, a hallmark of the "experience economy" concept, and as a succession of consumer practices whose development was coterminous with the rise of event marketing…
