Hi raghu, sorry, I am catching up on being offline Sunday and Monday. For Schutz's relevance for economics, by someone well versed in postmodernism (here used as a catch-all phrase to include poststructuralism, deconstruction, etc.), a good introduction is:
Bruce Pietrykowski, 1996, "Alfred Schutz and the Economists," History of Political Economy, Summer, Vol. 28 Issue 2, pp. 219-244. One of my very favorite articles on this stuff, and it draws on both Schutz and Foucault, in the context of Marxian economics: William Milberg and Bruce Pietrykowski, 1994, "Objectivism, Relativism and the Importance of Rhetoric for Marxist Economics," Review of Radical Political Economics, Mar., vol. 26, pp. 85 - 109. Check out Will Milberg's website ( http://milbergw.wordpress.com/publications/ )for some full text articles, not everything is there, but maybe this one, and a few other very good ones, including: "The Language of Economics: Deconstructing the Neoclassical Text," Social Concept, June 1988. "Marxism, Poststructuralism and the Discourse of Economics," Rethinking Marxism, Vol. 4, no.2, Summer 1991. "Natural Order and Postmodernism in Economic Thought," Social Research, Vol. 60, N. 4, Summer 1993. I also recommend: Rhonda M. Williams, 1995, "Consenting to Whiteness: Reflections on Marxian Theories of Discrimination," in Marxism in the Postmodern Age, edited by Antonio Callari, Stephen Cullenberg, and Carol Biewener, pp. 301-308, New York: Guilford. Williams, Rhonda M. 1993, "Race, Deconstruction, and the Emergent Agenda of Feminist Economic Theory," in Beyond Economic Man: Feminist Theory and Economics, edited by Marianne A. Ferber and Julie A. Nelson, Chicago: University of Chicago Press. My own preferences these days would be closer to work coming under 'Postcolonialism', and there is a good collection for its relevance for economics: S. Charusheela and Eiman Zein-Elabdin, eds., 2003, Postcolonialism Meets Economics, London: Routledge. Also: Rajani Kanth has three relevant books: Against Economics, Against Eurocentrism, and Breaking with the Enlightenment. If you want more general references to interpretive social science or hermeneutics or postmodernism, let me know. I'll try to reply to your other question in another post. mat raghu: >Can you provide some references on this? _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
