The Will to Disempower? Nabokov and his Readers
No full textRodgers argues that aspects of Nietzsche’s philosophy—specifically “master-slave morality” and the “will to power”—can articulate the interplay between author and reader in Nabokov’s work. Informed by Bernard Reginster’s interpretation of the will to power as the “activity of overcoming resistance,” the chapter claims that the disempowering distinction between elevated author and subjugated reader in Nabokov’s fiction engenders a readerly resistance. Rodgers illustrates this distinction by drawing on Nabokov’s published university lectures, on the epigraph and foreword to his novel Invitation to a Beheading, and on his short story “The Vane Sisters.” “The Will to Disempower? Nabokov and His Readers” focuses on the risks of readerly resistance as well as its empowering implications for “Nietzschean readers,” those who are conscious of Nabokov’s textual practice

The campaign for democratic socialism 1960-1964.
No full textPhDIn early 1960 it seemed likely that the official Labour
Party defence policy would be defeated by a unilateralist
resolution at the Scarborough Conference. In response to
this possibility the Campaign for Democratic Socialism,
or CDS, was established.
The CDS projected the image of a grass-roots movement
inspired by Gaitskell's "fight and fight again" speech.
But it was run by a Campaign Committee which included
leading members of the Party like Tony Crosland, Roy
Jenkins and Patrick Gordon Walker, as well as less well
known members like Bill Rodgers, Dick Taverne, Philip
Williams, Brian Walden, Denis Howell and David Marquand.
This highly talented group launched an elaborate and
successful lobbying, publicity and briefing operation
which was influential in overturning the unilateralist
vote at the Blackpool Conference of 1961. After Blackpool
the Campaign helped many of its leading members find
seats in the House of Commons while continuing to put the
"revisionist" case through its newspaper Campaign.
The importance of the CDS in the history of the Labour
Party is, primarily, as the first internal pressure group
organised by the right of the Party. It was also the
first internal Party group to use such sophisticated
lobbying techniques. Moreover, the subsequent careers of
the leading members of the Campaign influenced the
development of the Labour Party. The CDS was an important
formative political action for many of them. Finally many
of the CDS supporters set-up or joined the SDP when it
was launched

The pitfalls of using a child support schedule based on outdated data
No full textA strong rationale for updating child support guidelines arises from changes over time in the measurement of expenditures on children, as well as changes in the empirical relationship between expenditures on children and the income of parents. Such changes affect the accuracy of the numerics upon which states’ child support guidelines are based. This study evaluates an alternative child support guideline that was proposed for Virginia and draws lessons for other states that similarly base their guidelines on older survey data. Regression results show that over time, the child expenditure and household income relationship has changed considerably. Furthermore, the largest increases in expenditures attributable to children have occurred for lower- and middle-income households.Peer reviewe

Commentary: Which crisis? The need to understand spaces of (non)tax in the economic recovery
No full textA primer on wage gap decompositions in the analysis of labor market discrimination
No full textThe traditional wage gap decomposition accounts for differences across demographic groups in wages and in the determinants of wages. The analysis decomposes the wage gap in a particular year into a portion explained by average group differences in productivity characteristics and a residual portion that is commonly attributed to discrimination. The low-cost data requirements and the intuitive appeal help to explain the popularity of the traditional procedure as a starting point for estimating the extent of wage discrimination. Researchers have subsequently introduced a number of extensions that build more detailed steps into the decomposition in order to provide a richer set of results. Evidence from these decompositions can provide a more finely-tuned benchmark as to the degree to which discrimination serves as an explanation for the presence and persistence of group differences in average wages
