  • Uncommon Work: Utopia, Labor, and Environment in Late Twentieth- Century American Fiction
    UNCOMMON WORK: UTOPIA, LABOR, AND ENVIRONMENT IN LATE TWENTIETH- CENTURY AMERICAN FICTION BY BRANDON JONES DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Melissa Littlefield, Chair Professor Stacy Alaimo Professor Stephanie Foote Professor Robert Markley ii ABSTRACT Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, critical theorists have lamented in elegiac fashion the disappearance of any political economic system, real or imaginary, that could feasibly offer an alternative to liberal capitalism. Utopia, understood as the aesthetic expression of the desire for alternative social realities, has been declared impossible for political imagining since the late twentieth century. This obsolescence of utopia has been felt particularly acutely among the environmental movement. After its optimistic emergence in the 1960s and 1970s as a corollary of the New Left, the environmental movement became increasingly characterized by a heightened sensibility of ecological precarity and everyday crisis, which emerged in response to the frequency of natural disasters and environmental injustices appearing both in headlines and citizens’ backyards. As a result, utopian narratives of sustainable and pastoral alternatives to capitalist growth registered as irresponsibly out of touch. Instead, apocalyptic stories of nature’s anthropogenic decline became the predominant form of environmental rhetoric circulating in fictional and political discourse. Unfortunately, apocalyptic environmental narratives largely registered as redundant among American publics, their mimetic approach to environmental crisis provoking nihilism and despair more than preventative action. A way out of this imaginative impasse lies, my project claims, in a select archive of late twentieth-century American fiction writers that sustained the relevance of utopia for environmental activism and political economy.

    Copyright (c) 2000 PTC Research Foundation of Franklin Pierce Law Center IDEA: The Journal of Law and Technology 2000 40 IDEA 1 Section 110(5) and The Fairness in Music Licensing Act: Will the WTO Decide the UNITED STATES Must Pay to Play? LAURA A. McCLUGGAGE * * Laura A. McCluggage received her B.A. from the University of Colorado, Boulder; M.B.A. from Pepperdine University; J.D. from Pepperdine University School of Law; and LL.M. in International and Comparative Law from Georgetown University Law Center. She is an active member of the State Bar of California. I. Introduction While dining in your favorite restaurant, have you ever thought about the music playing in the background? You likely chose the restaurant for the food and the service, but perhaps atmosphere was a factor in your selection. That ambiance includes the tablecloth, the china, the flowers, and yes, the music. But is the restaurant paying for the radio playing softly while you dine? Should it? On April 21, 1997, the European Commission ("EC") received a complaint from the Irish Music Rights Organization ("IMRO"). In its complaint, the IMRO asked for an inquiry regarding § 110(5) of the U.S. Copyright Act, n1 claiming that several provisions were inconsistent with U.S. obligations n2 under the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization ("WTO"). n3 The IMRO is a collecting society that administers, licenses and enforces the rights of its members, whose ranks include composers, arrangers, lyricists and publishers. n4 The IMRO complaint is supported by GESAC, n5 which has a membership of nearly 480,000 rightholders.
