“…The unwanted intrusions of the private sphere indicated the suppression of agency and individuality in the pseudo-liberal world of the States. On the other hand, neoliberal rhetoric exonerated the state from any form of racial discrimination by trumpeting that the US promotes individuality and repudiates oppression in its any kind (Duggan, 2003;Ferguson & Hong, 2012;Koshy, 2013;McWhorter, 2013;Ong, 2006). This propagandist social phenomenon upheld the claim that "individuals must assume the risks and costs of pursuing their goals … [and] suffer the consequences of their mistakes" (McWhorter, 2013, p. 62).…”

“…Through emulation of white Americans, Asian Americans try to fill in the gap between their migrant status and the desire to adjust to the host society by embracing the fluid movements of accumulation and self-realization that define capitalist orthodoxy. With their flexibility, they exemplify a model of "reproductive citizenship" that, borrowing from Susan Koshy (2013), "harnesses heterosexuality to the productivity of knowledge work to enhance national competitiveness in a globalizing economy" (351). A perceived obsession with the pressure of accumulating economic resources and passing on human capital to future generations leaves a gap in the affective and filial dynamics of Asian American families.…”

“…3 Koshy (2013) expands the concept of "marital gothic" proposed by Michelle Massé who identifies "a genre of fiction in which the women protagonists become insane or kill themselves because their roles as wives or mothers have become unbearable to them" (357). According to Koshy, Lahiri's stories demonstrate how familial structures and generational conflicts may generate pain and vulnerability in migrant characters.…”

A Poetics of Neurosis

phone Postcolonial Studies (GAPS) under the title "Empire and Neurosis." GAPS, the DokForum, the Dekanat der Geisteswissenschaften, and the Gesellschaft von Freunden und Förderern of the University of Duisburg-Essen generously supported the event. As many questions remained unanswered and many discussions unresolved, the organizers opted for a follow-up conference a year later, on February 18-19, 2016, which promised to investigate "Neurosis and Social Transformations." As the negotiations for the publication of a volume had already started, this second event, which pursued an expanded and more openended version of the original topic, was designed as a conference as well as a writing workshop, where the invited speakers presented more elaborate versions of their papers with an eye on publication. That was the beginning of a long process of editing and of an intensive multilateral dialogue that has resulted in this volume. We would like to thank our contributors and acknowledge their commendable resilience and long-term commitment to the project, without which this publication would not have seen the light.The editors also thank the Profilschwerpunkt Wandeln von Gegenwartsgesellschaften of the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), which provided generous funding for both the "Neurosis and Social Transformation" workshop and the book publication. We are grateful to the Faculty of the Humanities (UDE), to the Department of Anglophone Studies (UDE), and to the University Library of the University of Duisburg-Essen for their generous financial assistance and for their enthusiastic response to our publication ambitions. And we are greatly indebted to our mentor Prof. Dr. Barbara Buchenau for her endless advice and encouragement: she has been and continues to be a crucial influence in our academic trajectories.

“…Indeed, neoliberal feminism suggests that "women should exercise sexual restraint; enter into monogamous, domestic, and lifelong relationships; and use contraception. Only committed couples should raise children" (Smith 2007: 218; see also Hoggart 2005;Koshy 2013). 4 Motherhood becomes another form of self-actualization through consumption and a privatized management of risk such that social reproduction is reconceived as a series of investments generating productive citizens:…”

The Commodified Womb and Neoliberal Families

Review of Radical Political Economics

Neoliberalism as an economic ideology of governance through markets has functioned to break down the gendered dichotomies of public and private, market and home, and production and reproduction and in so doing has created new forms of subjectivity, families, and relationships between women. A critical analysis of the globalization and commodification of reproduction in the form of transnational surrogate motherhood contracts between Western and Southern women reveals the different ways in which intending parents and surrogate mothers are incorporated into gendered and racial circuits of global specialization and exchange.
