Greetings Economists, I generally find Yoshie to be quite a resource these days. This dispute between LP and Yoshie is tangental to my valuing of Yoshie's comments. I want to point out something here though. On Aug 12, 2006, at 8:53 AM, Louis Proyect wrote:
You sully the good name of Monthly Review by trying to put a positive spin on this business,
Doyle; I follow Martha Nussbaum in pointing out that shame and disgust are not social emotions. Sully being a subset of shame based feelings. This is a feminist point of view also. The primary emotion knowledge between men and women is emotional intimacy. The vast majority of men not having sex with other men. Therefore, the work process of intimacy is a source of the unequal role of women in this society. This is why asocial emotions like shame and disgust play such a powerful role in creating inequality. While women aren't out of society as racism defines public rights, they are bounded by how they shame and disgust men. The labor process of intimacy is social connection at the maximum depth of human contact. It's the threat of not connecting at this depth in which women are oppressed. So women approach their connection to others as intimacy as they are restricted in society, then the society denies intimacy in public discourse. The emotion structure therefore defines inequality via intimacy knowledge work. And that represents an aporia in Socialism theory of knowledge work. thanks, Doyle
