Finding the Strength to Surrender
In the contemporary US, a configuration of market theocracy has melded together laissezfaire economics and right-wing religious conservatism, in spite of the many differences among the groups involved; it is a configuration that remains powerful even as it is increasingly fractured. Market theocracy draws on the mechanism of literalism, not the literal reading of texts but a concept of realism based on a belief in a common-sense version of unmedi…
God Goes Corporate
Performing Virtual Whiteness
Over the past twenty years, US conservatism has achieved a dominance by symbolically reconciling two historical strains that are, in reality, marked by contradictions: the social gospel of traditional values and the economic gospel of the free market. While this movement has often been characterized as irrational because of its emotional language, in fact, conservative activists were brilliantly rational in their deployment of a symbolic logic or…
Performing Capital in Caryl Churchill's Serious Money
Performing Capital in Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money Linda Kintz (bio) Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money dramatizes both the difficulty and the necessity of updating a project described in 1929 by Bertolt Brecht—historicizing dramatic form in relation to changes in the mode of production, the imperative of finding the form imposed by modern subject matter. Brecht’s point of reference for modernity was petroleum. As he argued: [p]etroleum resists t…

Between Jesus and the Market
The Subject's Tragedy
The Sanitized Spectacle
Modernism rather deceptively promised us the possibility of infinite experiments with aesthetic form, though those formal possibilities were always constrained by a belief in an artistic genius that could keep the experimentation under some kind of control, even if only under aesthetic control. Poststructuralism, however, called into question the modernist privileging of the aesthetic and of the artist's control by showing that the aesthetic disp…

On Performing Deconstruction
Deconstruction has been very important to feminist theory concerned with dissecting the supposed coherence of the sovereign Western masculine Subject-self-present, fully self-conscious, and in control. The relationship, however, between this deconstructed Subject and the historicity of subject-positions produced within various discourses continues to prove troublesome. The term subject is often used as if subject and Subject were the same thing, …
