Bull's-eye agency in audiovisual adaptations of Oliver Twist (1838), by Charles Dickens
Arguing for the hypothesis of a blurring of cultural boundaries between the economically disadvantaged Victorian population and non-human animals operated by Dickensian rhetoric in Oliver Twist, this study seeks to demonstrate how audiovisual adaptations of the novel increasingly exponentiate the agency, subjectivity and protagonism of the character Bull's-eye, the dog of the villain Bill Sikes, in an attempt to satisfy the ever less speciesism c…

The Centrality of Work: A Foundation for Political Economy
Building on Alfred Marshall's claim that political economy should be a science of activities rather than a science of wants, the paper proposes to ground political economy on the centrality of work. Work is central in three different senses: (i) factual — work plays a central role in human lives and societies; (ii) epistemic — giving work center stage has constitutive theoretical effects; (iii) political — work is a primary tool of and for the tr…
The (De)Politicisation of Work - An Inquiry into the Political Function of Work
The paper revisits the debate on the political function of work, defined as the contribution of work to the production and transformation of social relations, in both conceptual and empirical terms. It begins by briefly recalling the terms of the debate about the emancipatory potential of work as seen by Karl Marx and Hannah Arendt, and then proceeds to argue, contra Arendt, that since work is a collective and cooperative activity, it is not a-po…
Asymmetric Labor Market Reforms: Effects on Wage Growth and Conversion Probability of Fixed-Term Contracts
The authors investigate the impact of a change in employment protection laws in Portugal that increased the maximum legal duration of fixed-term contracts. They find that this reform led to a reduction in the probability that a worker on a fixed-term contract would be converted to a permanent contract. In addition, those workers who had their contracts converted experienced a significantly higher hourly wage growth at the time of conversion and f…

Dictionnaire des conventions: Autour des travaux d’Olivier Favereau
Comment penser l'économie autrement ? Depuis trente ans, des chercheurs de différentes disciplines participent au développement d’une économie des conventions qui construit une nouvelle représentation de l’économie. Les 75 auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage fournissent un éclairage exceptionnel sur cette approche à partir des travaux de l’un de ses principaux artisans, Olivier Favereau. Plus que tout autre économiste, il a œuvré tout au long de sa c…
Agency theory and social interactions at work
The main aim of this paper is to show that even when integrating the findings of behavioral economics, agency theory’s conception of interactions at work does not actually account for cooperative behavior. The paper draws on the distinction between the concepts of individual and person to critically examine this conception and show that, while work is mostly organized on the assumption that workers are self-interested individuals, management rhet…
The Integration of Care in the Portuguese NHS – A methodological proposal
Introduction: The lack of integration of care in Portugal is perceived as a major constrain to the health system and, consequently, to the quality of care provided to patients. The improvement of integration is seen as a more effective way to provide quality care and to optimize scarce resources available. There were identified more than 175 definitions published in scientific papers (Armitage et al., 2009), and consensually adopted the WHO (2008…
The Relational Dimension of Identity—Theoretical and Empirical Exploration
Identity has been recently introduced as a “legitimate” subject matter in economics. Whereas the social nature of identity is consensually acknowledged, its relational and moral dimensions are overlooked. We begin by clarifying the role of interpersonal relations in identity formation. Following Honneth (1995 Honneth, A. 1995. The Struggle forRrecognition—The Moral Grammar of Social Conflicts, Cambridge, MA: Polity Press. [Google Scholar]) we arg…
From Self-Interest Motives to Justice Motives: The Challenges of Some Experimental Results
This article begins by presenting experimental evidence that remains unexplained by standard and utility-extended economic models: experimental subjects tend to honor their promises even on occasions when an assessment of consequences asks them to defect; subjects voluntarily contribute to collective goods, and this contribution is highly conditional on others contributing as well; subjects evaluate and value the intentions behind actions as well…
