  • The 'green economy' has emerged as a strong policy direction in Obama's administration with $100 billion in dedicated funds over the next decade to provide infrastructure investment for a range of initiatives including alternative energy technologies that will lessen the reliant on foreign oil supplies. The concept of the 'green economy' has appeared at the point of the collapse of neoliberal ideology of deregulation and a new age of poverty after the worst global recession since WWII. First, this paper reviews the claims of 'green capitalism' examining, in particular the promise of distributed energy systems and the 'hydrogen economy' as proposed solutions to the energy problem of the U.S. economy. Second, it proposes a postmodern critique of neoliberal economics before examining conce...

  • This article focuses on the issue of narcotics and Turkey over a 30-year period. Its point of departure is the 1970s, when the opium production crisis in Turkey, and its associated corrosion of relations with the US, had been brought to an end. The article concentrates on the period in the late 1980s/early to mid-1990s, when the hard drugs issue became fused with other security threats like terrorism and state corruption. During this dark period, Turkey's criminal organizations that were trafficking narcotics made significant inroads in alliance-building with parts of the security state. The article ends with the experiences of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the Turkish state succeeded in containing the impact of illicit drugs. The article argues that both external but in particul...

  • While elite intellectuals have celebrated rap, punk, drag, porn, comic books, horror movies, and other lowbrow genres as subversive, complex, and legitimately fascinating sites of pleasure and cultural significance, genres traditionally coded as feminine and unironically enjoyed by many middle- and working-class women-romance novels, soap operas, fashion magazines, and self-help books-continue to be stigmatized as cheap, commercialized, and even reactionary, and feminized discourses that take their audience's aspirations to culture and self-improvement seriously-most notably Oprah's book club-are attacked with astonishing vehemence. While feminist scholarship has made significant strides in critiquing masculinist hierarchies and reclaiming some legacies of a sentimental feminine cultur...

  • The God who died is the God of Christendom, who bound together Western society with a universal account ofthe world that did not survive the advent of postmodernism; this God, indeed, is dead.7 The God who remains alive is the one adapted to postmodernism; the vitality ofthat God is on display in contemporary American religion, especially in the spirituality movement.8 The most pressing religious problem now confronting the world is posed by believers who refuse to recognize the postmodern condition that has brought about the demise ofthe first God and the rise ofthe second; I will refer to such believers as fundamentalists. Whether God exists, who or what God is, what life means (or doesn't) as a consequence of this nonexistence, what demands God makes on humankind, whether and how on...
