Crediting Invisible Work
Congressional observers have long been interested in the distinction between legislative "workhorses" and "showhorses." However, when scholars operationalize this by measuring legislator productivity, they often neglect many realities of modern lawmaking by focusing on the traditional bill sponsorship and passage process. To better align measurement with practice, we compile widely available data on bill sponsorship, cosponsorship, and amendments…
Transnationalism in Irish Literature and Culture
Transnationalism in Irish Literature and Culture offers a wide-ranging set of essays exploring the travels of Irish literature and culture over the last century and more. The essays focus on writers and artists whose work has been taken up and re-read overseas; on cultural producers who have engaged with transnational scales in their work; and on critical practices that pay attention to comparative, global, and planetary dimensions of Irish liter…
How a Canon Is Formed
Any scholarly project that purports to trace connections between two countries names a field that is to some degree already there – lying buried in archives, of course, but also contained in habitual ways of seeing and talking about texts. The present special issue is no exception. If it makes sense to search for points of contact between Irish and South African writing, this says as much about how these two literatures have been framed in Anglo-…
Industry Politicization and Interest Group Campaign Contribution Strategies
In this article we develop a new theory that interest group donation behavior will vary based on the politicization of industries that a particular group works in. With this theory, we develop a new empirical measure of industry politicization using mentions of contributor industry and partisan keywords in newspapers in the United States from 1999 to 2014. We show using a difference-in-differences model that as industry politicization increases, …
African Science Fiction and the Planning Imagination
This essay examines the recent rise in popularity of science fiction in Africa. I argue that this growth can be traced to key shifts within the logic of structural adjustment programs. Over the last twenty years, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have begun to place a heightened emphasis on "poverty reduction strategies" (or PRSs). These PRSs have taken the two organizations' longstanding commitment to free-market policies …
The Literary History of World‐Systems, II
This essay is the conclusive piece of a two‐part series on the use of world‐systems theory in literary studies. In it, I continue my discussion of literary world‐systems by turning to the field of world literature. As I show, world‐systems theory owes much of its current popularity in literary studies to the “new” world literature, which has borrowed part of its conceptual language from world‐systems theory. This language includes such key terms …
The Literary History of World‐Systems, I
This essay is the first of a two‐part series on the use of world‐systems theory in literary studies. It argues that the recent popularity of world‐systems theory among literary scholars has raised important questions about how we practice literary history. Appeals to a more “global” configuration of world literary space seem to promise a more inclusive literary history, but world‐systems theory's expansive focus also clashes with literary studies…
National Citizens, Global Economies
This article examines the South African novelist Sarah Gertrude Millin’s writings on economics. Though Millin has most commonly been treated as a theorist of race and miscegenation, her novels and nonfiction writings demonstrate an equally strong interest in how global economic institutions affect South African life. Eatough proposes that Millin’s fascination with such diverse economic practices as currency speculation, actuarial accounting, and …
The Time that Remains
The Time that Remains: Organ Donation, Temporal Duration, and Bildung in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go Matthew Eatough (bio) I half-closed my eyes and imagined that this was the spot where everything I’d lost since my childhood had washed up, and I was now standing in front of it, and if I waited long enough, a tiny figure on the horizon would appear across the field, and gradually get larger until I could see Tommy, and he’d wave, maybe even …
