Crime and its objects:Human/object relationships and the market for illicit Latin American antiquities
No full textDealers and collectors of Latin American antiquities are, by definition, white collar actors. It would be a logical next step to say that people in those groups who knowingly engage with the illicit trade are white collar criminals who are unlikely to self-define as such and are equally unlikely to see their actions as crimes. This leaves us with more questions than answers. The question of how these white collar actors justify their actions and classify themselves as non-criminals is covered elsewhere (Mackenzie 2006, 2014; Mackenzie and Yates 2016a). For the remainder of this essay, I am going to consider not how they do this, but one possible reason why. Moving away from classic ideas of white collar crime as being financially motivated, I want to consider the development of human/object relationships as a motivating factor for engagement in the illicit market for Latin American antiquities, and indeed in the grey market (Mackenzie and Yates 2016b) for antiquities more generally
‘Much of Sala, and but Little of Russia''A Journey Due North,' Household Words, and the Birth of a Special Correspondent
No full textWhen Dickens sent George Augustus Sala as a special correspondent to Russia just after the end of the Crimean War, he launched him in what was to become his best-known role as a journalist. Comprising twenty-two articles which appeared in weekly instalments from 4 October 1856 to 14 March 1857, Sala's essays are of interest not only for their representation of one of the significant geographical and cultural "others" of the mid-Victorian imagination, but for their distinctive style, which is vibrant and polyglot, eschewing political analysis and statistical information in favour of the flâneur's "gastronomy of the eye" – the vivid metropolitan travel writing so popular with mid-nineteenth-century readers

I Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.
