Les loisirs de Philothée (review)

REVIEWS 81 desire. Dubost has unearthed a later text, L'Histoire du Prince Apprius (1729), which he places within this tradition because its codification of sexuality can be read as anagrams of desire (Apprius = Priapus). Moving on to such eighteenth-century texts as Les Egarements du coeur et de l'esprit (1738), Antl-Pamela (1742), and Vénus en rut (1771), Dubost characterizes libertine writing as unstable mimesis, exhausting itself in objectifying desire. On the other hand, libertinism exposes economic exchange as cunning, and individual freedom as a relentless process of appropriation: against his will, the immoral libertine turns into a moralist. A short section of the book considers works by Mirabeau, Nerciat, and Rétif de la Bretonne. Mirabeau's texts especially are seen as unique combinations of realism and libertine idealism. Bourgeois and libertine will converge, producing revolutionary energy. The final chapter discusses Sade, whose "cruel philosophy" Dubost regards as the quintessential and yet most alien form of libertine writing. Sade's libertine voice is the paradoxical negation of God and doubling of his omnipotence. Distinguishing between discourse and textuality, Dubost defines Sade's works as expositions of evil within and by the text. In these evil discourses, the reader does not encounter bodies but ideas. They are not perversions of morality but the flip side of the ethical coin: they expose the problematic nature of an essentially "empty" moral law (i.e., Kant's categorical imperative). Sade's works develop the imagery of evil itself, resulting in a never-ending anamnesis of inhuman man. In addition to a bibliography and an index, the appendix to Dubost's book contains a very useful anthology of key passages from the texts discussed in this study. Dubost has also provided excellent translations of these passages into German. Less helpful are the definitions of narratological terms given in the "methodological appendix," since they are, in most cases, too brief and will be obscure for those readers not familiar with Genette's works. Although the book occasionally suffers from an excessive use of jargon—especially in the introductory remarks—it is a fascinating study of the rhetoric of eroticism within the libertine tradition. Credit is also due to the author for the careful and detailed analysis of several texts that have been ignored so far by scholarship. Ulrich Scheck Queen's University Nicolas Mavrocordatos. Les loisirs de Philothée. Texte établi, traduit et comment é par Jacques Bouchard. Athènes et Montréal: Presses de l'Université de Montréal, 1989. 249pp. $35.00. The Phanariotes, aristocratie and educated Greeks who held high office in the Ottoman empire, do not fit very well either with the populist and nationalist ideology of the modem Greek state or with the Habsburg view of Turkey as a state of anti-Christian barbarians. Figures like Nicolas Mavrocordatos (1670-1730) thus receive far less attention than they deserve. Mavrocordatos was the quintessential Phanariote. His father, Alexandres, was Turkish plenipotentiary at the peace treaty at Karlowitz in 1699. Nicolas was a semi-independent prince in Moldavia (1704-1715) and Wallachia (1715-1730), but it was as an intellectual that he was admired in his own time. Alexandras obtained the finest Greek and Western teachers for his son, and used his diplomatic influence with the Venetian senate to find him the latest books. The court of Nicolas Mavrocordatos at Bucharest attempted, like many others, to realize the Platonic ideal of the philosopher king. 82 EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FICTION 3:1 Nicolas, like his father a remarkable polyglot, chose to write in classical Greek, attempting to give it the same status that Latin still enjoyed in the West. The linguistic skills and intellectual stature of figures like Mavrocordatos help explain why the classicizing katharevousa form of Greek has given way only in the last few decades to the vernacular dhimotiki. Although the language was archaic, the ideas were not. In Les loisirs and On Duties (Leipzig, 1722), Mavrocordatos combined elements of classical culture (both Greek and Latin) with the best of the "tulip era" of Sultan Achmed ?? (1703-30) in Turkey and such Western figures as Bacon, Hobbes, and La Rochefoucauld. Jacques Bouchard faced a considerable challenge in presenting the work of...

Epstein Responds to Menkel-Meadow's Review Essay on "Women in Law": [Comment

I appreciate the serious attention Carrie Menkel-Meadow gave my book Women in Law' in the review essay published in 1983 American Bar Foundation Research Journal 189, but I object to certain implications in her review. Although authors often take exception to a reviewer's interpretation of their work, it is another matter to be accused of dishonesty by innuendo in a review. On page 189 Professor Menkel-Meadow writes, the most part, I think Epstein is honest. Since she doesn't specify where she thinks I have been dishonest, I find this objectionable and irresponsible. Since it is clear that she is referring to my methodology, her argument lodges in the fact that I interviewed only 179 attorneys over a 15-year period in two separate studies. A closer look at the methodological appendix would have revealed to Menkel-Meadow that the first study I conducted of attorneys was indeed of a random sample in the New York area, not only in New York City but also in adjacent areas and included people who worked in small practices and in small towns as well as those who worked in large firms. For my second study I interviewed people who constituted role clusters and networks in various types of legal employment. Such a snowball sample is considered to be a legitimate mode of selection in sociological circles. I also clearly stated in my methodological appendix that although I interviewed 179 attorneys at length in focused interviews, I also interviewed additional scores of lawyers and law students in informal settings not only in New York but elsewhere in the United States. Since Menkel-Meadow takes issue with my findings, particularly about law faculties, it should be noted that I interviewed law faculty in Connecticut, California, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., as well as in New York.

Organizational Intervention: A Merger of Theory and Action

14 1. Have our colleges and universities found ways to maintain open ad­ missions and maintain truly college level education? 2. Have they found ways to make part-time education, for those for whom education has to be a secondary concern, truly the equivalent of full-time education? 3. Have the miracles of the computer, of microfilm, andall the audio­ visual technologies created a greater enthusiasm for learning among students? 4. Have we any assurance, despite our emphasis on lifelong learning, that a greater proportion of today's students, will spend more time reading and more time in libraries ten years after graduation than did the graduates of 1959? 5. Have we learned how to induce today's students, many of whom spend no more than 15 hours on the campus each week, to spend a fraction of that time in the library? 6. Has the politicization of the university and of university presi­ dents, vice presidents, deans, and others substituted a leadership who rank political capabilities above accomplishments in scholarship and a concern for learning? 7. Does today's choice of commencement and convention speakers— e .g ■, the state senator rather than the scholar— reflect the image of higher education we wish to fix in the minds of today's students? 8. Does the demand for accountability— the subjection of the university to the constant Kleig-light glare of media and especially constitu­ encies— reflect public appreciation of higher education or the ques­ tioning of the value of the college experience? I take a dimmer view of what has happened and is happening to the gover­ nance of our colleges and universities than do many others. But I concur with Baldridge, et al. , when they conclude with the statement that: " . . . with some levelheaded thought, and some real attention to our academic his­ tory and its rich heritage, we may yet see a resurgence of management, gover­ nance, and leadership that takes educational issues as its focal point" (p. 233, emphasis added). ORGANIZATIONAL INTERVENTION: A MERGER OF THEORY AND ACTION Chris Argyris Center for the Study of Organizations and Intervention Harvard University Each of these books presents a distinctive view; collectively they rep­ resent a pattern of findings and analyses that practitioners and researchers in administration of educational institutions will find of value. Millett chose six leading research universities; nine "other" universi­ ties (enrollments of more than 3,500 students that offered professional and graduate education); and 15 general baccalaureate colleges subdivided into "elite" colleges (high academic excellence), "distinctive" colleges (special kind of mission), "church related," "transitional public colleges," and "new public colleges." Individuals who had extensive experience as professors and/or administrators in higher education visited a site and conducted indepth clinical analyses of the governance structure and administrative activ­ ities. There is no methodological appendix to give the reader the details. 15 One gets the impression that the core activities were reducing the cases to manageable size without destroying their validity and to highlight the dis­ tinctive qualities of each institution as well as the underlying themes among institutions. It appears that Millett performed these tasks, and performed them well. The administrator will find that each university's history and governance are described elegantly (i.e■ , comprehensively with minimal con­ cepts and redundancy) and fairly. Campus governance underwent changes after 1965 as a response to student activism. In research universities campus governance has had little impact on clarifying educational purposes and slightly more impact at the other in­ stitutions. Campus governance was neither innovative nor forward-looking. Indeed there is very little evidence that campus governance resolved any of the critical issues. It may have given some students and faculty a feeling of participation. However, the stronger the academic and research excellence of the institution the less the participation by students in such issues as program objectives in instruction, departmental organization, budget policies and practices, student-teacher ratio, and degree requirements. Campus governance did have a significant impact on student behavior and, in the less prestigious universities, in the evaluation of faculty teaching performance. The underlying assumption of campus-wide governance was that if faculty members, students, professional staff, and academic administrators were brought together, better decisions would...

The Self-Expansion of Capital on a World Scale

This Marxian critique of the multinational corporation (MNC) is one of the first articles by this well-known European economist to appear in English. It argues that the emergence of the MNC merely expresses more funda mental changes: the international spread of capital, the new international mode of accumulation and the heightened nature of class struggle. Palloix examines these changes by using the circuits of capital set forth by Marx. He finds that in recent years the circuits of money capital and productive capital have become much more internationalized, particularly since the late 1960's when there was a shift of international investment in productive facilities to less developed nations. This went hand-in-hand with the more extensive penetration of some developed nations, like France, by foreign capital. Palloix concludes that this new international mode of accumulation linked most nations more closely to the international division of labor, making it more difficult for them to follow inde pendent economic policies. Thus, the nation-state's role in assuring that certain critical industries can adjust to international conditions becomes even more important for capital. But the resulting situation also involves heightened contra dictions in capitalism and greater class struggle. In a methodological appendix, Palloix utilizes Marx's circuits of the self-expansion of individual and social capital to analyze the internationalization of capital.

New departures in Soviet theory and practice of ethnicity

Two books will be reviewed here, because they, along with several others which have appeared in recent years, illustrate in differing ways the emergence of a new field of social science inquiry among Soviet scholars and may also prefigure certain significant changes in Soviet nationality policy, which has remained largely unchanged since Stalin's time.1 The new field of inquiry is that of ethnosociology ? that is to say, the study of the influence of ethnic factors on sociological variables, such as the structure of the family, social mobility, choice of profession, and others. I will not attempt in this article to assess either book comprehensively or to comment on all of their significant aspects. Rather I will deal in detail with what I consider to be the most significant issues touched and with the reasons why Western scholars concerned either with ethno? sociology or Marxist theory or both should find them important. The later chapters of Bromlei's book, in particular, contain material which is of some interest from the point of view of technical ethnography (in the Soviet sense of the term) and I hope to comment on these matters elsewhere. The book edited by Arutiunian and his associates represents the summation of the first phase of an extensive sociological study, which has been in progress for a number of years, of the population of the autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Tatar ASSR). Ex? tensive as it is, it is merely one aspect of a broad-gauge investigation of the Soviet rural population which took in, besides the Tatar ASSR, samples from Krasnoiarsk Krai in Eastern Siberia and Kalinin Oblast in the north central portion of European Russia. While this study is not the first in the Soviet Union to use fairly elaborate statistical and computer meth? odology (that honor belongs to the study of Leningrad workers supervised by A.G. Zdravomyslov and his associates),2 it is dis? tinguished from earlier studies by the novel and somewhat sensitive nature of its subject matter, particularly in that portion covered by the volume under review here. Ethnosocio logical research is not common, as far as I know, in the West, and although there has been some discussion of ethnosociological issues in the Soviet ethnographic literature, the methodology used to study them has until recently been traditional and nonquantitative. The volume is divided into an introduction, five lengthy chapters, a brief conclusion, and a methodological and tabular appendix. The chapters deal with the sociological and ethnic structure of the population of the Tatar ASSR and the changes in it (vertical and horizontal mobility, the occupational structure of the urban and rural populations, and so forth), the cultural characteristics of the population ("culture" used here in the sense usual in the Soviet literature to include chiefly the con? sumption of art and ideology and the response to them), family life and daily life-styles, linguistic behavior, and psychological aspects of ethnic relations. The sample studied by Arutiunian and his ^Stephen Dunn is an anthropologist and Co-Director of the Highgate Social Science Research Station, Berkeley, California.

Street Corner Society: The Social Structure of an Italian Slum

Corner Society is one of a handful of works that can justifiably be called classics of sociological research. William Foote Whyte's account of the Italian American slum he called Cornerville-Boston's North End-has been the model for urban ethnography for fifty years. By mapping the intricate social worlds of street gangs and corner boys, Whyte was among the first to demonstrate that a poor community need not be socially disorganized. His writing set a standard for vivid portrayals of real people in real situations. And his frank discussion of his methodology-participant observation-has served as an essential casebook in field research for generations of students and scholars. This fiftieth anniversary edition includes a new preface and revisions to the methodological appendix. In a new section on the book's legacy, Whyte responds to recent challenges to the validity, interpretation, and uses of his data. The Whyte Impact on the Underdog, the moving statement by a gang leader who became the author's first research assistant, is preserved. Street Corner Society broke new ground and set a standard for field research in American cities that remains a source of intellectual challenge.-Robert Washington, Reviews in Anthropology
