Defoe on Screen
This chapter examines the animated film Michaël Dudok de Wit’s The Red Turtle (2016) as a filmic ‘Robinsonade’, the name for a text that adapts or appropriates Daniel Defoe’s archetypal castaway narrative. The chapter first surveys the history of Defoe on screen, taking in film and television reworkings of Moll Flanders (1722), A Journal of the Plague Year (1722), and above all Robinson Crusoe (1719). (It also provides a selective checklist of De…
Rewriting Crusoe
Published in 1719, Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe is one of those extraordinary literary works whose importance lies not only in the text itself but in its persistently lively afterlife. German author Johann Gottfried Schnabel—who in 1731 penned his own island narrative—coined the term “Robinsonade” to characterize the genre bred by this classic, and today hundreds of examples can be identified worldwide. This celebratory collection of tercentenary essa…

La pratique d'organisation communautaire à la Maison de quartier de Pointe Saint-Charles (1973-1978)
Au début des années 70, dans quelques quartiers de Montréal, on retrouvait des Maisons de quartier qui intervenaient principalement sur les questions d'aménagement. L'exemple abordé ici est celui de la Maison de quartier de Pointe St-Charles qui, à divers moments de son évolution, a été traversée par une série d'affrontements concernant l'action communautaire. L'article expose d'abord le contexte dans lequel est intervenue la Maison de quartier p…

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Lars Lih’s Lenin Rediscovered seeks to replace the textbook-myth of Leninism with a painstaking reconstruction of ‘Lenin’s Erfurtian drama’. That reconstruction is more accurate than the Lenin-myth, but Lih’s step forward is marred by two steps back. One is his account of Lenin’s ‘worry about workers’. The other is Lih’s new translation of What Is to Be Done

Early Tibetan Documents on Phur pa from Dunhuang
The exact circumstances of the emergence of what are now known as the rNying ma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism remain among the least clearly defined areas of Tibetan history for modern scholarship. What has made the early history of rNying ma tantrism so opaque is the dearth of reliable historical sources. In response to such uncertainty, Cantwell and Mayer have turned to the Dunhuang cache in search of further evidence. Their specific focus has…

Lucy Hutchinson
For upwards of two centuries, Lucy Hutchinson (born Lucy Apsley in 1620) was primarily known as the author of her husband-biography, Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson, published in 1806 and praised in the nineteenth century by Francois Guizot and C. H. Firth as an important historical work on the English Civil Wars.1 Recently, however, poetry written by Hutchinson2 has newly come to the attention of scholars, thanks, largely, to the work …

L’intervention en réseau, un modèle alternatif de prise en charge communautaire
Après une brève analyse critique de certaines limites de la psychiatrie communautaire, les auteurs font une revue historique du réseau psychiatrique social et de ses caractéristiques. Ils décrivent alors leur manière d’appliquer le concept de réseau, une approche dont l’originalité consiste à demander au patient de réunir son réseau primaire (famille, amis, voisins, etc.) en vue d’identifier les problèmes et de déterminer comment le réseau peut l…
Le modèle d’intervention auprès du réseau (illustration et commentaire)
Le présent texte aborde les critères d'intervention auprès du réseau, le processus lui-même et le rôle de l'équipe ; sont ensuite décrits quelques principes fondamentaux de ce modèle et un commentaire est formulé à partir de notre propre modèle. Les exemples qui illustrent les phases du processus sont extraits d'une intervention auprès du réseau vidéographiée au cours de l'année 1978. Pour ne pas alourdir le texte démesurément, nous nous en somme…
Guestworkers and Exploitation
Are guestworker programs exploitative? Egalitarian and neoclassical theories of exploitation agree that they always are. But these judgments are too indiscriminate. Privileged guests are the exception, and the exception points toward a more sensitive standard for identifying exploitation. This more sensitive standard, the sufficiency theory of exploitation, is used to analyze several guestworker programs. Even when guestworker programs are exploi…
A Walzerian Theory of Exploitation
What sorts of transactions should count as exploitative? Marxian theory has tended to monopolize analysis of the phenomenon, but this paper offers an alternative account of exploitation derived from Michael Walzer's theory of distributive justice. That theory lends itself to restatement as a theory of exploitation because the principal distributive injustice complex equality aims to combat is "dominance," which consists in taking advantage of one…

A Rejoinder to Robert Dahl
Exchanges of this sort typically consist of each side claiming the other has misunderstood its own position. Keeping to this tradition, I will begin by arguing that Professor Dahl has misconstrued my critique of his proof. But toward the end I will do something different and suggest another argument advocates of workplace democracy could pursue that avoids the pitfalls of the parallel case.In his reply Professor Dahl ascribes to me a libertarian …
Robert Dahl and the Right to Workplace Democracy
Do employees possess a moral right to democratic voice at work? InA Preface To Economic Democracyand other writings over the past two decades, Robert Dahl has developed a neo-Kantian proof for the existence of such a right. Even if we accept the norm of distributive justice upon which Dahl founds his proof, voluntary subjection to authoritarian power in firms does not violate the legitimate entitlements of employees. While adult residents of terr…
Michael Walzer, Industrial Democracy, and Complex Equality
T he most pervasive injustice identified by Michael Walzer in Spheres of Justice concerns the distribution of power at work. If complex equality is the standard of distributive justice, Walzer argues, then employees are entitled to select their managers-but this is obviously the experience of the vast majority in our economy today. While the extent of voice accorded to labor does vary significantly in different types of organizations, most busine…
Strategies of justification in authoritarian ideology
How many possible ways are there to justify authoritarian rule? If we leave aside the consequentialist arguments and focus only on the principled justifications for political inequality, the conventional answer in the literature is one: authoritarian rule always takes the form of guardianship, which is premised on the principle of unequal competence. In this paper, however, I show that five distinct justifications for authoritarian government are…

Children's Recognition of Consumption Symbolism in Children's Products
The development of children's abilities to recognize consumption symbolism has been examined using adults' products, but not using children's products. The present study examines children's perceptions of the users of children's products and tests hypotheses concerning the effects of age, sex, social class, and sibling influence. As expected, the greatest differences are found among children of different ages. Results are interpreted as due to pr…

Hannah Arendt, National Socialism and the Project of Foundation
Foundation is a crucial concept in Hannah Arendt's work. She was especially interested in modern attempts, successful and unsuccessful, to found new bodies politic. Arendt maintained, however, that totalitarian movements were hostile to the project of foundation. Far from seeking to stabilize the world, totalitarianism set the world in motion and tried to keep it moving. But when we turn to National Socialist ideology itself we discover that foun…
Lenin, the proletariat, and the legitimation of dictatorship
This article examines the arguments Lenin employed after the October Revolution in order to justify party dictatorship over the working class. It challenges the conventional view that Lenin defended constraints on proletarian choice by appealing to the paternalistic vanguard theory set forth in What Is To Be Done? A systematic review of Lenin's revolutionary writings indicates that his legitimation strategy was based instead on an essentialist in…

Lenin and the Practice of Dialectical Thinking
What did Lenin mean when he claimed to be think-ing dialectically about questions of political practice? Renewed interest has been expressed in this subject, but the tendency of most studies is to treat Lenin's dialectic as a metaphysical doctrine consisting of universal laws such as transformation into opposite, and so forth. Emphasizing Lenin's Hegel Notebooks , commentators have argued that his tactical innovations after 1914 were simply appli…

The Reception of a Journal of the Plague Year and the Nexus of Fiction and History in the Novel
Historians and theoreticians of the English novel cannot live without Daniel Defoe, but they cannot live very comfortably with him either. Sir Walter Scott wrote as perceptively about Defoe as any eighteenthor nineteenth-century critic, but he did not at first include Defoe in his Lives of the Novelists. For Ian Watt, Defoe initiated the English novel with Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, but for Ralph Rader, Defoe's stories of the pseudofactua…
