The discrepancy suggests two things: one, that in the nascent decades of the historic transition to a capitalistic economy in England, it has become possible to conceive of play as a form of productivity; and two, that More has a class investment in demonstrating his own value to the post-feudal economy by defending his authorial play as productive or useful labor. In spite of its communistic rejection of private property and searing critique of enclosure, Utopia is invested in the ambiguities of what it means to play or labor so that it can better construct the idealized, hyperproductive bodies of colonialist expansion, consonant with the New World environment that is the site of the text's political fantasy. What this affirms is that the colonialist imaginary cannot be disentangled from capitalist accumulation, owing in large part to emerging affective discourses around the body as a site of ever-present contestation between industry and idleness.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"36 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jem.2019.0028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45500329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These manuals define economic rationality as an epistemic practice and the object of knowledge of early modern Iberian capitalism. Technical authors suggest that quantitative thinking belongs to a higher domain of abstraction, where numbers promote habits of reasoning, creditworthiness, and objective neutrality. These empirical, organizational, and ethical advantages crystallize in double-entry bookkeeping. Discussions focus on the cognitive process of calculation, the arithmetic logic of commodification, and the merits of practical knowledge. Traders, business agents, computors, and accountants are men of experience who understand reality in terms of figures, are aware of real problems, and offer viable solutions. These experts see capitalism as a mode of organizing and conveying knowledge. Their heuristic approach sheds light on the pragmatic ethics and ambiguous legal notions late-scholastic moral theologians pondered as they sought to theorize an international system of acquisition and exchange.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"16 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jem.2019.0018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45758151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By rooting these cultural values in northern Europe, however, Weber cannot account for the foundational role of the Iberian empire in this process. Rather than the Protestant ethic, this essay takes up the concept of possessive individualism to consider the spirit of capitalism that emerged in the context of the initial, Iberian-led phase of the transatlantic slave trade. Iberian scholastics, especially Jesuits, used the concept of dominium, or property rights, to develop a theory of the individual as the owner of the self and of freedom as a possession that could be freely sold on the market. Voluntary enslavement and freedom of exchange were thus mobilized to justify a relatively autonomous sphere of economic activity in which the transatlantic slave trade could develop. In formulating these arguments, Jesuit authors drew on interviews with slave merchants that reflect a subjective orientation toward profit over morality. The Jesuits' ambivalent response both highlights and attempts to rationalize the contradictions of an emerging economic order based on the global circulation of commodities and racialized bodies.","PeriodicalId":42614,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"101 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/jem.2019.0021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41773680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
