TL;DR: The 1970s marked an important period of transition, indeed a time of many transitions, to the world we confront at the end of the millennium "The Seventies Now" as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Most would agree that American culture changed dramatically from the 1960s to the 1980s Yet the 1970s, the decade "in between," is still somehow thought of as a cultural wasteland In "The Seventies Now" Stephen Paul Miller debunks this notion by examining a wide range of political and cultural phenomena--from the long shadow cast by Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal to Andy Warhol and the disco scene--identifying in these phenomena a pivotal yet previously unidentified social trend, the movement from institutionalized external surveillance to the widespread internalization of such practices The concept of surveillance and its attendant social ramifications have been powerful agents in US culture for many decades, but in describing how during the 1970s Americans learned to "survey" themselves, Miller shines surprising new light on such subjects as the women's movement, voting rights enforcement, the Ford presidency, and environmental legislation He illuminates the significance of what he terms "microperiods" and analyzes relevant themes in many of the decade's major films--such as "The Deer Hunter," "Network," "Jaws," "Star Wars," and "Apocalypse Now"--and in the literature of writers including John Ashbery, Toni Morrison, Adrienne Rich, and Sam Shepard In discussing the reverberations of the 1969 Stonewall riots, technological innovations, the philosophy of Michel Foucault, and a host of documents and incidents, Miller shows how the 1970s marked an important period of transition, indeed a time of many transitions, to the world we confront at the end of the millennium "The Seventies Now" will interest students and scholars of cultural studies, American history, theories of technology, film and literature, visual arts, and gay and lesbian studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the gothic's biological core from its oft-discussed psychological elements and argues for a more trans-historical conception of the Gothic, one negatively related to comedy.
Abstract: In this study of fearful fictions and films, Jack Morgan rends the gothic's biological core from its oft-discussed psychological elements and argues for a more trans-historical conception of the gothic, one negatively related to comedy. This work dissects popular examples from the gothic literary and cinematic canon, exposing the inverted comic paradigm within each text. Rooting his study in comedy as theoretically conceived by Suzanne Langer, C.L. Barber and Mikhail Bakhtin, Morgan analyses the physical and mythological nature of horror in inverted comic terms, identifying a biologically grounded mythos of horror. Motifs such as sinister loci, languishment, masquerade, and subversion of sensual perception are contextualized here as embedded in an organic reality, resonating with biological motives and consequences. Morgan also devotes a chapter to the migration of the gothic tradition into American horror. Morgan's subjects range from high gothic classics like Matthew Lewis's ""The Monk"", Ann Radcliffe's ""The Mysteries of Udolpho"" and Mary Shelley's ""Frankenstein"", to later literary works such as Poe's macabre tales, Melville's ""Benito Cereno"", H.P. Lovecraft's ""The Shadow Over Innsmouth"", Shirley Jackson's ""The Haunting of Hillhouse"", Stephen King's ""Salem's Lot"" and Clive Barker's ""The Damnation Game"". Films featured include ""Nosferatu"", ""Invasion of the Body Snatchers"", ""Friday the 13th"", ""Night of the Living Dead"", ""Angel Heart"", ""The Stand"" and ""The Shining"".

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the tax burden and the shadow economy can be negatively correlated and that many different good equilibria can emerge whereby SE and its determinants are linked in complex and different ways.
Abstract: Traditionally, the presence of the shadow economy (SE) has been associated, mainly and positively, with taxation. Recently, some authors have suggested that the SE may be also linked to the institutional setting (efficiency of the bureaucracy, regulations, corruption, etc.) so that just two stable equilibria are possible. In the “good” one, there is a small hidden sector, large fiscal revenues and honest/appreciated institutions. The other, “bad”, equilibrium is the opposite. Unlike the traditional approach, therefore, the recent literature argues that the tax burden and SE can be negatively correlated. Examining the links between these variables in relatively uncorrupt systems, this paper reconciles the two views. Theoretically, it claims that many different good equilibria can emerge whereby SE and its determinants are linked in complex and different ways. For instance, taxation and SE can go hand-in-hand, even taking into account the institutional framework. Empirical evidence for OECD countries supports both the model and the changing nature of the SE.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-volume set brings together a selection of key articles which examine the shadow economy and its relationship with underground activities, including tax evasion, tax compliance, tax morale and government institutions.
Abstract: This two-volume set brings together a selection of key articles which examine the shadow economy and its relationship with underground activities. The set contains important work on surveys and conceptual considerations, theoretical approaches and policy implications. It further focuses on the empirical results of studies into the shadow economy, and considers tax evasion, tax compliance, tax morale and government institutions. This authoritative publication will be of interest to anyone seeking a comprehensive investigation into the shadow economy.
