>Issue no. 3: Ethics and Debt (or, Debt to the Other)
> Deadline for papers: September 30, 1999 [ see notes
>below ]
>
> Does ethics operate as an economy? We speak of the burden of
>responsibility; is this burden not a debt? Being responsible, do I simply
>respond as if to a question, or is there some force of accountability
>calculating my response. I sense my duty; I know that I owe. But what is
>it that I owe and by what authority am I indebted? How and how much do I
>pay? And - since economy doesn't seem to work without exchange - for what
>purpose, what gain, did I accrue this debt? Who, when, and where are the
>actors in the exchange?
>
> For this our third issue of j_spot we are asking for an account of the
>moral economy.
>
> N.B.: Papers outside of the above themes may be submitted at any time.
> N.B.: This deadline has been extended from September 1 to September 30,
>1999.
