Capitalism and Agrarian Change Class Production and Reproduction in Indonesia

Capitalism and Agrarian Change Class Production and Reproduction in Indonesia

Small-scale agricultural producers in the peripheral world are often condescendingly assumed to be a single social class (‘the peasantry’) to be pitted against the state or corporation. This book challenges this rather idealistic view by demonstrating that under current capitalist social relations (competition efficiency and productivity and profit maximisation) these agricultural producers have been differentiated into different agrarian classes by exploitation. By comparing two different contexts of local agrarian change in Indonesia—rice cultivation in Java and oil palm in Sumatra—this book exposes the different class locations of the agrarian classes among petty agricultural producers and the class relations between them. These are often inextricably linked to gender clanship and generational issues. The power of class dynamics crucially shapes how agricultural production in both rice and oil palm is organised. The share received by different agrarian classes from the production site then prominently shapes the different nature of class reproduction for each agrarian class. This analysis demonstrates that the different agrarian classes possess different capacities and responses in their relation to the state or corporations. Any real emancipation attempt in the Indonesian countryside (and beyond) must start from a proper understanding of these class dynamics. This book marks a significant contribution to the literature on agrarian change the political economy of development rural development and Marxist political economy. | Capitalism and Agrarian Change Class Production and Reproduction in Indonesia

Therapeutic Culture Triumph and Defeat

Therapeutic Culture Triumph and Defeat

For nearly half a century social scientists have made claims that there is a therapeutic ethos with extensive influence upon numerous aspects of American society. In Therapeutic Culture twelve authors address the implications of this ethos and its effects on a wide range of social institutions extending from the family to schools and operating in religious behavior and within the legal system. Has there been as the sociological theorist Philip Rieff argued in 1966 a triumph of the therapeutic? If so in what kinds of institutions has it been most pervasive? At the same time what aspects of modern culture has it replaced or defeated? Therapeutic Culture addresses these questions and raises others. Part 1 of this volume examines the emergence of the idea of authenticity as it defines the manipulation of emotions and behavior both in the United States and Great Britain. Contributors include Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn Frank Furedi Jonathan B. Imber and Alan Woolfolk. Part 2 illustrates specific cases of the effects of therapeutic culture within institutions including courts schools religious communities and the virtual community of the Internet. Contributors include James L. Nolan Jr. John Steadman Rice Felicia Wu Song and James Tucker. Part 3 extends the analyses of specific social institutions to the broader consequences that have resulted as a therapeutic ethos has taken root in contemporary life. Contributors include Digby Anderson Ellen Herman and James Davison Hunter. Part 4 is devoted to a previously unpublished essay by Philip Rieff whose significant influence can be seen in many of the contributions. Rieff revisits the highly controversial confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991 and offers ample evidence of the therapeutic uses of politics as well as the political manipulations available within a therapeutic culture to provide a fitting conclusion. This volume establishes a benchmark for further theoretical reflection and empirical research on the nature of therapeutic culture. It will be of interest to sociologists psychologists political scientists and cultural studies specialists. | Therapeutic Culture Triumph and Defeat
