My work in the area of postcolonial studies has sought to link specific texts to the material structures of power that govern their production and to think about how far these texts work within and against the dominant narratives of public discourse.\n\nI completed my DPhil at the University of Sussex in 2000. This work was on the cultural context for the Scottish Renaissance Movement of the inter-war years and it sought to ask why a nationalist reading of Scotland gained especial purchase during the years between 1918 and 1939. This work developed my interest in nations and nationalism, especially with modernist and postcolonial ideas of the nation, and in the material origins of cultural texts.\n\nMy current research is with the question of globalization and, in particular, how a globalised economy is represented in creative texts. I am currently completing a book-length study which explores how contemporary labour patterns are represented in novels from India, the UK and North America. With a particular focus on fictional accounts of office work, this book suggest that ideas of workers' precariousness and of generational shifts from a Keynesian to a neoliberal economy, are repetitively reproduced in order contemporary fiction.","image":"https://0.academia-photos.com/143641/38066/48865815/s200_liam.connell.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://0.academia-photos.com/143641/38066/48865815/s65_liam.connell.jpg","primaryImageOfPage":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/143641/38066/48865815/s200_liam.connell.jpg","width":200},"sameAs":["http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/sesll/seminarsandconferences/esse2010seminar31/papersandabstracts/#d.en.150544","http://prezi.com/dw7shtgt3e5w/offshore/","http://xenotopia.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/abstract-possible-eastside/","http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/staff/liam-connell","http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/research/c21"],"relatedLink":"https://www.academia.edu/122424984/The_Baby_Makers_Representing_Commercial_Surrogacy_in_Film_and_Television"}</script><link

to show how literary texts express these ideas in ways that resonate with their wider social articulation.&nbsp; My work in the area of postcolonial studies has sought to link specific texts to the material structures of power that govern their production and to think about how far these texts work within and against the dominant narratives of public discourse.<br /><br />I completed my DPhil at the University of Sussex in 2000.&nbsp; This work was on the cultural context for the Scottish Renaissance Movement of the inter-war years and it sought to ask why a nationalist reading of Scotland gained especial purchase during the years between 1918 and 1939.&nbsp; This work developed my interest in nations and nationalism, especially with modernist and postcolonial ideas of the nation, and in the material origins of cultural texts.<br /><br />My current research is with the question of globalization and, in particular, how a globalised economy is represented in creative texts.&nbsp; I am currently completing a book-length study which explores how contemporary labour patterns are represented in novels from India, the UK and North America. With a particular focus on fictional accounts of office work, this book suggest that ideas of workers&#39; precariousness and of generational shifts from a Keynesian to a neoliberal economy, are repetitively reproduced in order contemporary fiction.<br /><span class="u-fw700">Phone:&nbsp;</span>01273 641405<br /><b>Address:&nbsp;</b>College of Arts and Humanities <br />University of Brighton

It explores the role of Plymouth and Devon in the historical context of slavery, aiming to engage audiences with the legacy of the slave trade, modern forms of forced labor, and the implications of contemporary consumerism. Through collaboration between museum staff, curators, and artists, the project fostered public understanding of historical and present-day issues related to slavery and cultural

representations of commercial surrogacy. Placing this genre into a history of film representations of surrogacy and into a wider history of representing women’s work on film, it argues that the genre appears to intervene in debates about gestational labour. On the surface, these films appear to attack both mothers and surrogates alike for their participation in paid employment. However, along with other representations of surrogacy, these films also display a mingling of the language of care with the language of the economy in ways that trouble the easy separation of these two spheres. Potentially, this combination makes possible a critique of gestational labour which would make the nature of women’s work visible and available to resistance. In the form of the thriller this potential seems muted. However, through a reading of James Bridges 1970 film, The Baby Maker, this essay suggests that a space for this critique is possible in the depiction of surrogacy as work which combines both physical and affective labour.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="122424984"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="122424984"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 122424984; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=122424984]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=122424984]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 122424984; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='122424984']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=122424984]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":122424984,"title":"The Baby Makers: Representing Commercial Surrogacy in Film and Television","translated_title":"","metadata":{"doi":"10.1080/09574042.2023.2278304","issue":"4","volume":"34","abstract":"This essay attempts to define the genre of the surrogacy thriller as a prominent form for recent representations of commercial surrogacy.

Through an analysis of their content this article considers the extent to which Scottish newspapers concentrated upon events in Scotland, the manner in which local Scottish events were represented as Scottish national events, and the techniques that they employed to brand themselves as Scottish products. It concludes that these combined to position Scottish papers as Scottish ‘nationals’ rather than as local papers. It further identifies the use of similar techniques by the London-based ‘nationals’ at that time, suggesting that the tendency to address their readership as a national community is the defining characteristic of national news media in general. &amp;quot;</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86944256"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86944256"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86944256; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86944256]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86944256]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86944256; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86944256']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86944256]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86944256,"title":"The Scottishness of the Scottish Press: 1918–1939","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"\u0026quot;This article considers the impact of new levels of competition and a changing political definition of Scottishness upon the way that Scottish newspapers sought to construct their content as Scottish during the inter-war period.

Mehta, an emigrated Indian computer programmer, unleashes a series of computer viruses onto the global communications network from his work place in Washington State in an attempt to reverse the decision, by the US-based computer-security company Virugenix, to terminate his employment. The effects of his viruses prove to be catastrophic, causing &quot;an informational disaster, a holocaust of bits&quot; in which the &quot;major networks [ … ] dealing with such things as mobile telephony, airline reservations, transatlantic email traffic and automated-teller machines&quot; collapse (Kunzru 272). As a consequence Mehta is quickly labelled a terrorist by the media and international law-enforcement agencies (159). The distance between Mehta&#39;s intent and the official designation of his actions are interesting for a number of reasons. First, the use of the terminology of terror is revealing about the way that the language of terrorism has been applied to a widening range of activities which might not have colloquially been understood as terrorism in the recent past. Second, the use of this language offers us the possibility that his actions are terrorist activities and ask us to think again about terrorism as something that is potentially sympathetic despite the contemporary discourses that attach to it. In reading the novel through this language of terror, a vocabulary that is incidental to much of the text, I aim to speculate about how this language relates to Mehta&#39;s status as a migrant worker within the particular transnational systems of contemporary labour exchange. The aim here is not to defend hacking per se so much as to suggest that the framing of hacking as terrorism is revealing about how the language of terror is utilized to defend the privileges and inequalities of existing international economic and power relations.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="76f544603ff8ef3011963119a5268508" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{&quot;attachment_id&quot;:86001554,&quot;asset_id&quot;:79209752,&quot;asset_type&quot;:&quot;Work&quot;,&quot;button_location&quot;:&quot;profile&quot;}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/86001554/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="79209752"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="79209752"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 79209752; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=79209752]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=79209752]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 79209752; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='79209752']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "76f544603ff8ef3011963119a5268508" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=79209752]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":79209752,"title":"E‐terror: Computer viruses, class and transnationalism in Transmission and One Night @ the Call Center","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Informa UK Limited","grobid_abstract":"Bodyshopping Globalization, Labour, Offshoring, The starting point for this essay is the description of the character Arjun Mehta as a terrorist in Hari Kunzru's 2005 novel Transmission.

The aim here is not to defend hacking per se so much as to suggest that the framing of hacking as terrorism is revealing about how the language of terror is utilized to defend the privileges and inequalities of existing international economic and power relations.","owner":{"id":143641,"first_name":"Liam","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Connell","page_name":"LiamConnell","domain_name":"brighton","created_at":"2010-03-09T22:39:59.345-08:00","display_name":"Liam Connell","url":"https://brighton.academia.edu/LiamConnell"},"attachments":[{"id":86001554,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/86001554/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"30668013.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/86001554/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"E_terror_Computer_viruses_class_and_tran.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/86001554/30668013-libre.pdf?1652691794=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DE_terror_Computer_viruses_class_and_tran.pdf\u0026Expires=1742895279\u0026Signature=Q1P4-uw-~GSO4Lprsfjn9X718BAUflD3z9ruRkgHOioI6qxPHzR799oGmF5YNhFTI4WX5~TKSv9tP9yKLtso90Yx-NgzLPFOccjyzT8FMcz5hMVCrmTZSj9A0GP6Dnq5qoHjzVvgJp1vuTUi6~NMn3-lPDbuzYsNVNCA-AUp6oKLCawulJHtTHaLiAwlkcnmvh9QSSQb0UTgcFjCCcfULIrgnZSRaqYYjNjlV8PWfzPkmNvO0auwWjMxFV4sExF7wKOl~Iw02DxqLmGENTOo-DHFfvMSnCP2NIr0OHLe5TAhE7ywMi1dWp8cqMzkNmQ45XBnpEKP-wsM39MFLIpSxw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":184,"name":"Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sociology"},{"id":1439,"name":"Globalization","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Globalization"},{"id":2418,"name":"Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Literature"},{"id":10233,"name":"Twentieth Century Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Twentieth_Century_Literature"},{"id":13995,"name":"Postcolonial Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Postcolonial_Theory"},{"id":15514,"name":"Contemporary Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Contemporary_Literature"},{"id":19190,"name":"Postcolonial Writing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Postcolonial_Writing"},{"id":24455,"name":"Postcolonial Studies (Literature)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Postcolonial_Studies_Literature_"},{"id":26200,"name":"Offshoring","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Offshoring"},{"id":52408,"name":"Literary studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Literary_studies"},{"id":248420,"name":"Communication technologies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Communication_technologies"},{"id":953669,"name":"Routledge","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Routledge"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="79209750"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/79209750/Scottish_nationalism_and_the_colonial_vision_of_Scotland"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Scottish nationalism and the colonial vision of Scotland" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/86001557/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/79209750/Scottish_nationalism_and_the_colonial_vision_of_Scotland">Scottish nationalism and the colonial vision of Scotland</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Interventions</span><span>, 2004</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This essay examines the recent use of postcolonial theory in relation to Scottish literature in o...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This essay examines the recent use of postcolonial theory in relation to Scottish literature in order to scrutinize a tendency to designate Scotland as an English colony.

The paper advocates for an interdisciplinary perspective, emphasizing the need for a materialist understanding of the socio-political dynamics affecting Scottish cultural production, especially in relation to broader postcolonial studies.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2003,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East"},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/79209714/Modes_of_Marginality_Scottish_Literature_and_the_Uses_of_Postcolonial_Theory","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-05-16T01:45:23.496-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":143641,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":86001530,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/86001530/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"386ba3d4f62368728b17ca175078506fbde7.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/86001530/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Modes_of_Marginality_Scottish_Literature.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/86001530/386ba3d4f62368728b17ca175078506fbde7-libre.pdf?1652691787=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DModes_of_Marginality_Scottish_Literature.pdf\u0026Expires=1741733737\u0026Signature=O9CWrDPusPe8lA5~3JHxu37D6WblWrCVrtCEK0nVR2zrbplMcTUF3gy-BrxvbpFQImh03sMTq8ZysXoYfAqmoBZ0L7ZBhZyHRrUWjMPjFGl2~TOsNCWLOUYn6Q5KQwFBt3wyk2VTEPwPE~P75l1jW70gZTA5yjEyXzjr7lSg2CP-6tgRuJxhFfU3MmmyVJcGvUcOCgN0Nxh636kMgL6SD6FMiOCTt6nc061N9weioFE1XE6KpfjOaF6HsIfXn7kmDNYAojJTp2Dvm3hxl6y-YB0rya3F0Xk5ebOjlUp4L1DJDZNE7IhU9-plbvixd3oWPlW5dQ~q~XQvhDq7t-8SzQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Modes_of_Marginality_Scottish_Literature_and_the_Uses_of_Postcolonial_Theory","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","summary":null,"owner":{"id":143641,"first_name":"Liam","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Connell","page_name":"LiamConnell","domain_name":"brighton","created_at":"2010-03-09T22:39:59.345-08:00","display_name":"Liam Connell","url":"https://brighton.academia.edu/LiamConnell"},"attachments":[{"id":86001530,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/86001530/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"386ba3d4f62368728b17ca175078506fbde7.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/86001530/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Modes_of_Marginality_Scottish_Literature.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/86001530/386ba3d4f62368728b17ca175078506fbde7-libre.pdf?1652691787=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DModes_of_Marginality_Scottish_Literature.pdf\u0026Expires=1741733737\u0026Signature=O9CWrDPusPe8lA5~3JHxu37D6WblWrCVrtCEK0nVR2zrbplMcTUF3gy-BrxvbpFQImh03sMTq8ZysXoYfAqmoBZ0L7ZBhZyHRrUWjMPjFGl2~TOsNCWLOUYn6Q5KQwFBt3wyk2VTEPwPE~P75l1jW70gZTA5yjEyXzjr7lSg2CP-6tgRuJxhFfU3MmmyVJcGvUcOCgN0Nxh636kMgL6SD6FMiOCTt6nc061N9weioFE1XE6KpfjOaF6HsIfXn7kmDNYAojJTp2Dvm3hxl6y-YB0rya3F0Xk5ebOjlUp4L1DJDZNE7IhU9-plbvixd3oWPlW5dQ~q~XQvhDq7t-8SzQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2418,"name":"Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Literature"},{"id":13995,"name":"Postcolonial Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Postcolonial_Theory"},{"id":28235,"name":"Multidisciplinary","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Multidisciplinary"},{"id":56281,"name":"English language and literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/English_language_and_literature"},{"id":111254,"name":"Duke University","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Duke_University"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

On the surface, these films appear to attack both mothers and surrogates alike for their participation in paid employment.

Looking first at Classical and Marxist economics, it uses feminist economics to highlight the omissions that conventional definitions of labour contain, especially concerning the work of women. By comparing feminist economics with recent novels by women, including Halle Butler’s The New Me, Alice Furse’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Heike Geissler’s Seasonal Associate, Hilary Leichter’s Temporary and Ling Ma’s Severance, it argues that contemporary fiction has been attentive to the same omissions. Through a reading of the techniques of literary fiction, including realism and a range of experimental narrative devices, this essay proposes that the contemporary novel offers kinds of writing that expand our conception of labour. Contemporary fiction contains narratives that highlight the work of social reproduction as central component of the economies of labour and that offer a wider critique of economic categories of value.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="86944217"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="86944217"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86944217; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86944217]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=86944217]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 86944217; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='86944217']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=86944217]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":86944217,"title":"Crisis, Labor, and the Contemporary","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This chapter considers the difficulty that economics has found in defining labour as a practice separate from its product.

Mehta, an emigrated Indian computer programmer, unleashes a series of computer viruses onto the global communications network from his work place in Washington State in an attempt to reverse the decision, by the US-based computer-security company Virugenix, to terminate his employment. The effects of his viruses prove to be catastrophic, causing &quot;an informational disaster, a holocaust of bits&quot; in which the &quot;major networks [ … ] dealing with such things as mobile telephony, airline reservations, transatlantic email traffic and automated-teller machines&quot; collapse (Kunzru 272). As a consequence Mehta is quickly labelled a terrorist by the media and international law-enforcement agencies (159). The distance between Mehta&#39;s intent and the official designation of his actions are interesting for a number of reasons. First, the use of the terminology of terror is revealing about the way that the language of terrorism has been applied to a widening range of activities which might not have colloquially been understood as terrorism in the recent past.
