Working Class Youth Culture

Working Class Youth Culture

First published in 1976 Working Class Youth Culture offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint to the law-and-order lobby which treats the youth question as a dreadful pest to be exterminated or caged in. The contributors describe the real conditions of life for working-class youth; how they make sense of the world; and how we can understand their perspective. The subjects discussed include Teddy Boys Mods Skinheads and the Glamrock Cult; dance-hall fights; picking up girls and going steady; how schools manufacture delinquency truancy and vandalism; how working-class kids slide from bad schools to bad jobs or to no jobs at all; Paki-bashing racism and the competition over jobs and houses; how social change in post-war Britain has influenced youth culture; and how social scientists have hidden the real character of youth troubles behind the myth of a classless society.

Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Since Vietnam introduced economic reforms in the mid-1980s domestic service has become an established sector of the labour market and domestic workers have become indispensable to urban life in the rapidly changing country. This book analyzes the ways in which the practices and discourses of domestic service serve to forge and contest emerging class identities in post-reform Vietnam. Drawing on a rich and diverse range of qualitative data including ethnographies interviews and narratives it shows that such practices and discourses are rooted in cultural notions of gender and rural-urban difference and enduring socialist structures of feeling which in turn clash with the realities of growing differentiation. Domestic workers’ experiences reveal negotiations with class boundaries actively set by the urban middle class who seek distinction through emerging notions and practices of domesticity. These boundaries are nevertheless riddled with gender and class anxiety on the side of the latter partly because of the very struggles and contestations of the domestic workers. More broadly Minh T. N. Nguyen links the often invisible intimate dynamics of class formation in the domestic sphere with wider political economic processes in a post-socialist country embarking on marketization while retaining the political control of a party-state. As a pioneering ethnographic study of domestic service in Vietnam today this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asian culture & society social anthropology gender studies human geography and development studies. | Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics: Marxism without Guarantees surveys the Amherst School of non-determinist Marxist political economy 40 years on: its core concepts intellectual origins diverse pathways and enduring tensions. The volume’s 30 original essays reflect the range of perspectives and projects that comprise the Amherst School—the interdisciplinary community of scholars that has enriched and extended while never ceasing to interrogate and recast the anti-economistic Marxism first formulated in the mid-1970s by Stephen Resnick Richard Wolff and their economics Ph. D. students at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The title captures the defining ideas of the Amherst School: an open-system framework that presupposes the complexity and contingency of social-historical events and the parallel overdetermination of the relationship between subjects and objects of inquiry along with a novel conception of class as a process of performing appropriating and distributing surplus labor. In a collection of 30 original essays chapters confront readers with the core concepts of overdetermination and class in the context of economic theory postcolonial theory cultural studies continental philosophy economic geography economic anthropology psychoanalysis and literary theory/studies. Though Resnick and Wolff’s writings serve as a focal point for this collection their works are ultimately decentered—contested historicized reformulated. The topics explored will be of interest to proponents and critics of the post-structuralist/postmodern turn in Marxian theory and to students of economics as social theory across the disciplines (economics geography postcolonial studies cultural studies anthropology sociology political theory philosophy and literary studies among others). | Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Ethnicity Class Gender and Migration Greek-Cypriots in Britain

Ethnicity Class Gender and Migration Greek-Cypriots in Britain

Originally published in 1992 this book places Cypriot migration to Britain within the context of New Commonwealth migration as a whole and within developments in the field of racial and ethnic relations. It provides an account of the economic and social position of Cypriots in British society paying particular attention to a number of central theoretical and political debates relating to class ethnicity racism and gender. The book argues that migrant groups have to be understood in terms of the interaction between the internal cultural and social differentiations within the group and the wider structural institutional and ideological processes of the country of migration. Gender divisions and the family are seen as central in understanding the forms of settlement and the economic and social placement of a migrant group. | Ethnicity Class Gender and Migration Greek-Cypriots in Britain

Middle-Class Couples A Study of Segregation Domination and Inequality in Marriage

Middle-Class Couples A Study of Segregation Domination and Inequality in Marriage

When this book was originally published in 1980 sociologists had long held the view that the middle-class marriage in contemporary Britain was characterised by role desegregation and marital equality. Middle-Class Couples reported on research which provided a critical re-analysis of this orthodoxy. The book is a theoretically informed empirical study which largely debunks many of the myths associated with this alleged movement towards ‘equal marriage’ among professional couples. The author analysed the sexual division of labour among a group of professional workers and their wives at the child-rearing stage of their family cycle. The research paid special attention to the notion of marital equality and the power dimension of marriage the household division of labour and the patterning of leisure between husbands and wives. A radical critique of the existing social theories of the family and society incorporated in the classic studies of Parsons Watson Young and Willmott Ann Oakley and Elizabeth Bott. | Middle-Class Couples A Study of Segregation Domination and Inequality in Marriage

Reflections on Inequality

Reflections on Inequality

Originally published in 1975 this anthology of essays focusses on the historical dimension of class inequality which has long concerned both sociologists and social philosophers but has often been neglected in literature. Although Marx is the first name to come to mind when social inequality and class struggles are mentioned most of the authors included here precede him. Each analyses and discusses the problems of class conflict as they understood them in the light of their own times. Taken together these writers treat stratification as essentially a pecking order where position is determined by relative power – a notion which subsumes rather than contradicts the economic interpretation of social inequality because wealth is a form of power. The relation between the views of these authors and the well-known theory of Marx is discussed in the Introduction. | Reflections on Inequality

Building Services Design for Energy Efficient Buildings

Building Services Design for Energy Efficient Buildings

The role and influence of building services engineers are undergoing rapid change and are pivotal to achieving low-carbon buildings. However textbooks in the field have tended to remain fairly traditional with a detailed focus on the technicalities of heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of the urgent challenge to address climate change together with practical approaches to energy efficiency and carbon mitigation for mechanical and electrical systems in a concise manner. The essential conceptual design issues for planning the principal building services systems that influence energy efficiency are examined in detail. These are HVAC and electrical systems. In addition the following issues are addressed: background issues on climate change whole-life performance and design collaboration generic strategies for energy efficient low-carbon design health and wellbeing and post occupancy evaluation building ventilation air conditioning and HVAC system selection thermal energy generation and distribution systems low-energy approaches for thermal control electrical systems data collection controls and monitoring building thermal load assessment building electric power load assessment space planning and design integration with other disciplines. In order to deliver buildings that help mitigate climate change impacts a new perspective is required for building services engineers from the initial conceptual design and throughout the design collaboration with other disciplines. This book provides a contemporary introduction and guide to this new approach for students and practitioners alike. | Building Services Design for Energy Efficient Buildings

Cultural Management A Research Overview

Cultural Management A Research Overview

This shortform book tells the research story of cultural management helping scholars to analyse and combine theoretical models into an approach of their own. Cultural management emerged and developed out of the field of arts management in the 1980s which imported managerial techniques and assumptions from mainstream commercial business into the arts. In the late 1990s the field integrated entrepreneurial approaches to management in the creative industries before adapting to a new model based on user experiences and co-creation. These historical phases are theorised respectively as cultural management 1. 0 cultural management 2. 0 and cultural management 3. 0. Yet they also overlap. Bringing together theories of management and creativity this book enables scholars to get a grip on the underlying assumptions and conditions which lie behind an eclectic and evolving field. The author an established expert in this field empowers scholars and reflective practitioners to develop their own approach to cultural management drawing on the available approaches and to recognise that successful cultural management is contingent on understanding the context (organisational and personal) within which these models will be applied. | Cultural Management A Research Overview

Contested Domains Debates in International Labour Studies

Contested Domains Debates in International Labour Studies

Originally published in 1991 this volume discusses the urban working class international migrants and the so-called lumpenproletariat. The book exhibits the fruitful interaction that has taken place between sociological theory new views of the changing world economy and the empirical realities of working class experience and struggles. The dual theme of the book is the control which the state and employers seek to impose and maintain over labouring people and the resistance put up by workers to these often new and unacceptable disciplines. With case studies – both historical and contemporary – drawn from North America Britain and various parts of Africa the author develops an interlocking theory of habituation and resistance. Against the background of profound changes in the global economy Robin Cohen explores ways in which labouring people respond to the structural and managerial constrains on the development of their class consciousness and self-organisation. This will be of interest to urban and industrial sociologists as well as those concerned with comparative social theory and the relationship between developing world and industrialised societies. | Contested Domains Debates in International Labour Studies
