Chronic pain, existential medicine, and Lacan
Bystander evil and upstander intervention: The stories of Job and Jesus
Perpetrators are committed to wrongdoing due to four types of evils: individual, diabolical, superego, or institutional evil. Yet bystanders can be just as problematic. First, classic "bystander effect" is often linked to individual or ego-evil. Second, the dark side of human nature can advance bystander diabolism. Third, a law-abiding subject may be (mis)guided by their superego, taking comfort in inhuman bystander legalism. Fourth, institutiona…
Governmentality and Abuse in the Book of Esther
Five issues stand out in the Book of Esther: political feasting, inter-sex conflicts, intra-sex competition, genocidal threats, and the absence of God. Central to these problems is the basic tenet of Persian imperialism, for imperial governmentality is linked to the techniques of judicial, disciplinary, and panoptic power as well as the patriarchal power of (ab)using women to ensure the smooth functioning of family and empire. To rule a multiraci…

Migration and Henrik Ibsen’s Fruen fra havet
Fruen fra Havet (1888; The Lady from the Sea [1890]) has been read in many ways.[1][1] My aim is to analyze Henrik Ibsen’s 1888 play through the lens of migration studies, arguing that the text can be read as a sociopolitical allegory that foregrounds Ibsen’s concern with internal, international
Poe's Sea Tales and Economic Man: Decision Making in “MS Found in a Bottle” and “A Descent into the Maelström”
This essay highlights the economic, rather than the more traditional analyses of Poe's sea tales. The first section focuses on Poe's interest in sea journeys against the background of maritime exploration in antebellum America. I then discuss Poe's ambivalence toward the “horrid laws of political economy.” Poe's heroes react to the changing sea through the prism of economic benefit. From capital maximization to optimal satisficing, regret aversio…
Structure and Anti-Structure: Virginia Woolf's Feminist Politics and “The Mark on the Wall”
This article challenges the idea that “The Mark on the Wall” is an apolitical story, with Woolf trying to experiment with time, space and narrative structures. Arguing that Woolf fills her story with subtle political references (Troy, Charles I, South Downs), this essay offers a close reading of the text in the hope of examining Woolf's feminist pacifism and her critique of male logic and the Great War. Victor Turner's notion of “anti-structure” …
