Fast food, happiness and the misery of behavioural science
Beginning with a journalistic criticism, written by a humanist, of studies by behavioural scientists of fast-food cues, this essay goes on to describe the nature of fast-food environments today. It then develops a critique of the underlying assumptions and methods of behavioural science as exemplified in these studies, whose basic context is the field of ‘happiness studies’. This essay argues that happiness cannot be quantified; that attempts to …

Fantasias of terrorism
An introduction to this special issue of the Journal for Cultural Research, this essay explains how terrorism may be said to equate to a “fantasia”, and how this fantasia has operated in different times and places. It also takes a close look at the popular fantasia promoted by the entertainment industry today, beginning with representations of the enemies of James Bond. In popular culture, terrorism is a spectre (along the lines of Ian Fleming’s …

Aguecheek's Beef, Belch's Hiccup and Other Gastronomic Interjections
Among the other contributions, mention should be made of Ann Hughes' painstaking study of the heresiographical writings of Thomas Edwards: she carefully traces the roots and precursors of Edwards' three-volume Gangraena, but also points out how, by dint of its chaotic structure, it was also a profoundly innovative, if frustrating, work: indeed, it was one of the books that did much to create a distinctive heresiographical genre.Equally informativ…
Terrorism and the Novel, 1970-2001
Since 1970, terrorism has become a prominent subject for English-language novels. In an attempt to characterize the modern terrorism novel and the cultural work it has performed, the authors have devised a typology of terrorism-infiction from 1970 through 2001. Over a thousand novels were documented, including both thrillers and mainstream works. A sample of twenty-five novels from the period was then selected for careful reading, analysis, and c…

A New World of Retail Supremacy
In contrast to the mid-twentieth century era of transnational commerce, in which the US or European manufacturing multinationals played the leading role, twenty-first century globalization is increasingly structured by a set of retail-dominated supply chains, that of Wal-Mart first among them. This strategic shift in the locus of corporate power has arisen out of two conjoined phenomena: first, the logistical integration made possible and necessa…
The Sweatshop Epidemic
has been nearly a decade since 71 young garment workers from Thailand escaped from slave labor in a garment factory in El Monte, an urban suburb of Los Angeles. That scandalous event some of the women had been in captivity for as long as seven years, sewing clothing for Montgomery Ward, BUM Pacific, and other well-known companies focused national attention on sweatshop production in the apparel industry. Because the apparel industry is so labor i…

Behind the Label
In a study crucial to our understanding of American social inequality, Edna Bonacich and Richard Appelbaum investigate the return of sweatshops to the apparel industry, especially in Los Angeles. The "new" sweatshops, they say, need to be understood in terms of the decline in the American welfare state and its strong unions and the rise in global and flexible production. Apparel manufacturers now have the incentive to move production to wherever …
