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.
