“All Wrong In Point Of Political Economy”: Attempting To Salvage The Oikos From The Polis In Bleak House, Leah Casey
“All Wrong In Point Of Political Economy”: Attempting To Salvage The Oikos From The Polis In Bleak House, Leah Casey
Independent Student Projects and Publications
This paper proposes that Dickens’s Bleak House is symptomatic of a so-called social realm, in which neither oikos nor polis exists as a distinct, autonomous entity; therefore, neither can offer sanctuary or adequately discharge the historical role of the household – maintaining life. In this zone of indistinction, the symbolic structures of London’s law have become the city’s physical structures, leading to symptoms like Jo the outlaw, whose illness and death is attributed to the failure of both the polis and the oikos – the city’s legal housekeeping and the law-as-house, respectively – to maintain life. London’s law has become …

In this Article, I focus on the development of rights talk in the pre-Enlightenment Protestant tradition.

Rejecting The Fruits Of Action: The Regeneration Of The Waste Land’S Legal System, Phillip J. Closius

In his greatest work, The Waste Land, T. S. Eliot presents a picture of twentieth century Western civilization as a culture which has lost its essential values and has come undone from its historical moorings. Material wealth has become the focal point of society and its inhabitants. In such a value distorted context, human relationships are devoid of meaning. Honest communication and a meaningful life for the soul and intellect are lost in a dehumanizing daily grind. Religious, communal, and even familial values are subverted to a culturally encouraged drive for personal gain. In this respect, modern Western civilization in …
