multiple postings)
3 for 3: the editorial collective of j_spot the Journal of Social and
Political Thought is pleased to announce the publication of its third
issue, entitled "Ethics & Debt (Or, Debt to the Other)." Issue no. 3 is
available on-line at: http://www.yorku.ca/jspot
j_spot is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed electronic journal
focusing
on a wide range of intersections between theory, politics, culture and
social justice. In light of contemporary political and intellectual
conditions in late capitalist society, j_spot aims to expand the space
for interdisciplinary critique, innovation and originality. Already
situated in the rapidly evolving nexus of technologically mediated
social
and political change--a transformative nexus which must itself not
escape
critique--j_spot aims to give free rein to the crucial, critical
energies
that aim beyond a deadly acceptance of the status quo.

Ethics & Debt (Or, Debt to the Other)
j_spot, Vol. I, no. 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Traditional ethical theory depends on a subject that functions as a
ground-zero for a moral calculus. After modernity, in a theoretical
space determined by the destabilization and absence of an absolute
subject, the very possibility of a moral calculus and a moral economy
becomes uncertain."
(Kathryn Walker)
Contents:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chris Anderson-Irwin, "Beyond Economy, or the Infinite Debt to the
Other:
Caputo and Derrida on Obligation and Responsibility"
"No economic system of reciprocal relations between self and other, of
debt, repayment, and equality between participants, could comprehend the
violence and brutality such acts involve, nor could it begin to address
the damage done to the victims."
Margaret Gibson, "Guiltless Credit and the Moral Economy of Salvation"
This essay "considers the debt-structure and bondage of sin...and
discusses the gender economy of patriarchal monotheism and divine
masculine incarnations which are secured and mediated through women,
women's flesh and the genealogical sacrifice of the mother-daughter
couple."
Joanna Zylinska, "Sublime Speculations: The Economy of the Gift in
Feminist Ethics"
"My sublime speculations are...an attempt to trace a feminist ethics, an
ethics which would spring from the aporias of capitalism and the
precarious foundations of modern subjectivity."

Change, growth, development, destruction, progression, regression,
chasing tail, nervous twitching, involuntary muscle movement, running,
dancing…movement.
What is movement? What does movement mean in a social and political
context? How do we move? Individually? Collectively? Aesthetically?
Purposefully? Playfully? How can movement articulate existence? History?
Freedom? Nature? Embodiment?
Running and rushing we barrelled ourselves into the twenty-first and now
here--at the CFS for issue 5 of the journal of social and political
thought--we pause to reflect on the very way of approach and invite art,
hypertext, video or photo essays, poetry, prose fiction and academic
articles that deal with the general theme of ‘movement.'
For issue no. 5 of j_spot, entitled "MOVEMENT" we encourage submissions
between and across disciplines that address or expand upon the above
concerns. Please consult the j_spot Guidelines for Contributors:
