  • Checkmating the Consumer: Passive Consumption and the Economic Devaluation of Culture

    Amy Koritz, Douglas KoritzARTICLEFeminist Economics2001Cited by: 1References: 1

    Early neoclassical economics embodied a gendered symbolic system that devalued consumption and enabled economists to ignore a basic contradiction underlying their treatment of consumption. According to consumer-sovereignty dogma, the consumer determined which firms would survive by actively pursuing maximum individual utility.

  • Drama and the Rhythm of Work in the 1920s

    Amy KoritzARTICLETheatre Journal2001Cited by: 1References: 2

    Representations of work in the drama of the 1920s often depicted it as either destructive to the individual or, to the extent that characters were well adjusted to their work environment, as a refuge for the shallow and unimaginative. Such dramatic representations of work and workers convey a horror of mechanization. In them machine processes consistently pervert the individual, in part by undermining the possibility of worker self-determination.…

  • Moving Violations: Dance in the London Music Hall, 1890-1910

    Amy KoritzARTICLETheatre Journal1990Cited by: 3

    Theatrical dancing-public, paid dance performance -underwent a dramatic change in cultural status in the early twentieth century. Despite the brief flourishing of Romantic Ballet in the first half of the nineteenth century, no form of dance had held the kind of privileged position granted other performed arts-music, opera, drama--in Western culture; however, with the arrival of the Russian Ballet and the development of modern dance, this devaluat…
