Class and Everyday Life

Class and Everyday Life

Exploring the issues of class through in-depth studies of housing sport art music and politics in Britain Class and Everyday Life persuasively demonstrates the pervasive influence of class on everyday life and the need to centre a radical understanding of class within emancipatory political movements. The need for a more expansive understanding of class is politically urgent. There is a disconnect between descriptive and analytical approaches to class and the politics of class and realities around how class is lived. Discourse has been shaped by top-down frameworks of analysis and measurements which have stripped the study of class of its political radicalism. This book makes the case for a sociology of class which is informed by a politics of class based upon using the everyday as the point of enquiry. It presents a sociology of class from the bottom-up which focuses on everyday life and the point at which class is made and remade. In doing so it advocates for an attentiveness to class and everyday life through a conjunctural analysis. Using an everyday lens this book examines how the shifting conjunctures manifest in everyday spaces in classed ways and how such changes are negotiated resisted and shape the working-class subject and communities. This is based upon an understanding of everyday classed experiences which identifies and challenges inequalities while also recognising value and hope. This perspective aims to offer a recognition of both the opportunities and challenges of class as a way of developing a stronger more politicised understanding of class which takes solidarity and class community power seriously to resist inequality and develop emancipatory politics. This urgent and impassioned book will be essential reading for students academics and activists with an interest in the lived experience of class in Britain today.

Social Class in Modern Britain

Social Class in Modern Britain

The book incorporates three alternative conceptions of class. Erik Olin Wright's structural Marxist account is set alongside John Goldthorpe's occupational class schema and the Registrar-General's prestige and skill-related categories. The authors use their unique data on inequality and conflict in contemporary Britain to provide for the first time a rigourous comparison of Marxist sociological and official class frameworks. The book ranges widely across such topics as sectionalism in the workforce; privatism of families and individuals; fatalism; gender and class processes; sectoral production and consumption cleavages. The authors conclude that class is still crucial in structuring economic political and social life. | Social Class in Modern Britain

Studies in Class Structure

Studies in Class Structure

First published in 1955 Studies in Class Structure contains six studies in problems of social structure relating mainly to contemporary British society. Professor Cole studies an analysis of the information about class structure contained in the British Census of 1951; and he also deals with the changes in British class structure during the past hundred years. He considers the structure of elites in contemporary Britain with some account of their development. He is also concerned with the influence of technical changes on class structures in Europe. These studies do not pretend to embody a comprehensive treatment of the problems of social structure: each of them stands by itself as a sharply original treatment of the many facets of class structure. This book will be of interest to students of economics sociology and history.

Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs

Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs

This book which has now established itself as a classic study of working class boys describes how Paul Willis followed a group of 'lads' as they passed through the last two years of school and into work. The book explains that for 'the lads' it is their own culture which blocks teaching and prevents the realisation of liberal education aims. This culture exposes some of the contradictions within these formal aims and actually supplies the operational criteria by which a future in wage labour is judged. Paul Willis explores how their own culture can guide working class lads on to the shop floor. This is an uncompromising book which has provoked considerable discussion and controversy in educational circles throughout the world - it has been translated into Finnish German French Swedish Japanese and Spanish. | Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs

Straddling Class in the Academy 26 Stories of Students Administrators and Faculty From Poor and Working-Class Backgrounds and Their Compel

Straddling Class in the Academy 26 Stories of Students Administrators and Faculty From Poor and Working-Class Backgrounds and Their Compel

Why do we feel uncomfortable talking about class? Why is it taboo? Why do people often address class through coded terminology like trashy classy and snobby? How does discriminatory language or how do conscious or unconscious derogatory attitudes or the anticipation of such behaviors impact those from poor and working class backgrounds when they straddle class? Through 26 narratives of individuals from poor and working class backgrounds – ranging from students to multiple levels of administrators and faculty both tenured and non-tenured – this book provides a vivid understanding of how people can experience and straddle class in the middle upper or even elitist class contexts of the academy. Through the powerful stories of individuals who hold many different identities-and naming a range of ways they identify in terms of race ethnicity gender sexuality age ability and religion among others-this book shows how social class identity and classism impact people's experience in higher education and why we should focus more attention on this dimension of identity. The book opens by setting the foundation by examining definitions of class discussing its impact on identity and summarizing the literature on class and what it can tell us about the complexities of class identity its fluidity sometimes performative nature and the sense of dissonance it can provoke. This book brings social class identity to the forefront of our consciousness conversations and behaviors and compels those in the academy to recognize classism and reimagine higher education to welcome and support those from poor and working class backgrounds. Its concluding chapter proposes means for both increasing social class consciousness and social class inclusivity in the academy. It is a compelling read for everyone in the academy not least for those from poor or working class backgrounds who will find validation and recognition and draw strength from its vivid stories. | Straddling Class in the Academy 26 Stories of Students Administrators and Faculty From Poor and Working-Class Backgrounds and Their Compel

The Great Class Shift How New Social Class Structures are Redefining Western Politics

The Great Class Shift How New Social Class Structures are Redefining Western Politics

This thought-provoking book offers a new global approach to understand how four social class structures have rocked our political systems to the extent that no politician or political party can exist today without claiming to be speaking on their behalf and no politician can hope to win an electoral majority without building a coalition among these classes. Based on a four-fold analysis - Urban and Liberal Creatives Suburban Middle Class White Working Class and the Millennials - this book shows that while many have focused on a supply-side vision of politics to explain the upheavals in our political party systems a vision centred on demand – and the Weberian take on political parties as vehicles for class interests – is more compelling. In 2016 our political world was changed forever by the victories of Brexit in the UK and Donald Trump in the USA. Far from being confined to the Anglosphere however changes have also rocked the political landscapes in Europe. As the crisis of 2008 has shaken the foundations of Western societies shrinking the size of the previously all-powerful middle class new classes have emerged and with them a new political demand that new (or old) parties have tried to satisfy. This book will be of key interest to political practitioners (politicians advisors/consultants journalists political pundits party builders and government officials) and more broadly to academics students and readers of European and Western politics political sociology party politics and political parties and electoral demographics. | The Great Class Shift How New Social Class Structures are Redefining Western Politics

The Class Structure of Capitalist Societies Volume 1: A Space of Bounded Variety

The Class Structure of Capitalist Societies Volume 1: A Space of Bounded Variety

This first volume of The Class Structure of Capitalist Societies offers a bold and wide-ranging assessment of the shape and effects of class systems across a diverse range of capitalist nations. Plumbing a trove of data and deploying cutting-edge techniques it carefully maps the distribution of the key sources of power and documents the major convergences and divergences between market societies old and new. Establishing that the multidimensional vision of class proposed decades ago by Pierre Bourdieu appears to hold good throughout Europe parts of the wider Western world and Eastern Asia the book goes on to examine a number of significant themes: the relationship between class and occupation; the intersection of class with gender religion geography and age; the correspondences between social position and political attitudes; self-positioning in the class structure; and the extent of belief in meritocracy. For all the striking cross-national commonalities however the book unearths consistent variations seemingly linked to distinct politico-economic regimes. This title will appeal to scholars and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in sociology politics and demography and is essential reading for all those interested in social class across the globe.

The Theory of the Leisure Class

The Theory of the Leisure Class

In The Theory of the Leisure Class his first and best-known work Thorstein Veblen challenges some of society's most cherished standards of behavior and with devastating wit and satire exposes the hollowness of many of our canons of taste education dress and culture. Veblen uses the leisure class as his example because it is this class that sets the standards followed by every level of society. The sign of membership in the leisure class is exemption from industrial toil and the mark of success is lavish expenditure conspicuous consumption is the famous term he invented to describe somethings that satisfies no real need but is a mark of prestige. The process Veblen describes continues today albeit in a more circuitous form. The Theory of the Leisure Class is part of an ongoing effort to make available the collected works of Veblen to a present-day audience of students and scholars.
