Business in the Work and World of David Foster Wallace
本文运用伦理批评和文学理论，结合制度理论与营销伦理研究，探讨华莱士作品中商业的主观体验，并得出关于如何有意识生活的规范性结论。
Arguably, no author, scholar, or other commentator has depicted the condition of turn-of-the-century American capitalism as entertainingly and insightfully as David Foster Wallace. His central concern was the allure of the gifts of commercial production and the unwitting complicity of both producers and consumers in perpetuating entertainment at the expense of the examined life. This article uses ethical criticism and literary critical theory to explore the subjective experience of business in Wallace’s work, in correspondence with scholarship on institutional theory and marketing ethics, to point toward normative conclusions about how, in Wallace’s words, to live consciously.
