Описание: This book argues that in a globalising world in which nation-states have to manage population flows and intensifying cultural diversity within their borders, multicultural policy and approaches have never been more important. The author takes an extended case study approach, examining Australia’s experiments with pragmatic forms of multiculturalism and multicultural policy since the early 1970s up to the present. The Public Life of Australian Multiculturalism challenges some larger assumptions about multiculturalism – either that it undermines national identity or that it is, and should strive to be, a post-national approach to identity issues. Instead, it argues that framing multiculturalism by inclusive national identity has been the key to multiculturalism’s continuity and general success in Australia. The book also directly challenges the claim that we have entered a post-multicultural world, making a case instead for the continuing relevance of pragmatic approaches to multiculturalism. Students and scholars researching in sociology, politics, migration, multiculturalism, ethnic and racial studies, nationalism, and identity studies will find this study of interest.
A theoretical integration of science and technology studies and social movement studies that finds both common ground and "undone" research.
As the fields of social movement studies (SMS) and science and technology studies (STS) have diversified in topical focus, they have moved closer to each other. SMS has turned toward the study of nonstate targets and institutionalized repertoires of action, just as STS has turned to expertise and publics. In Undone Science, David Hess argues that a theoretical integration of core concepts in the two fields is now possible, and he presents just such a synthesis. Hess focuses on industrial transition movements -- mobilized counterpublics of activists, advocates, entrepreneurs, and other agents of change -- and examines several areas of common ground between the two fields relevant to these movements. His account reveals the problem of "undone science" -- areas of research potentially valuable to the goals of industrial transition movements that have been systematically ignored.
Each chapter begins with a problem in SMS, discusses the relevant STS literature, describes new concepts and findings that have emerged, and offers applications to examples that range from nanotechnology and climate science denialism to conflicts based on race, class, and gender. Topics include the epistemic dimension of the political opportunity structure, networks of counterpublic knowledge, and regime resistance in industrial transition.

Описание:
This book explores current patterns in marriage and shows that even with changes in marriage and family, "nearly all Americans still marry at some point in their lives and when they marry, they behave much like other married people." From getting engaged to breaking up, people follow established and predictable patterns of behavior. Revisiting a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data, Yodanis and Lauer show how the institution of marriage continues to constrain options within and outside of marriage.
Why, especially in a time of increasing options, do people still keep, honor, and obey the institution of marriage? The answer in a sociological perspective and key sociological theories. The lack of innovation in who and when individuals marry and how they live and interact within marriage comes from the continuing formal and informal rules and taken for granted expectations of marriage. The influence of these rules and expectations is so strong that attempts at innovation and alternatives to marriage, including remaining single, cohabitation, same sex marriage, and communes, are shaped and constrained by the institution of marriage. The authors show how our private relationships are public issues.

Описание: Neither demonising nor mythologising guns, this collection of case studies sheds light on this controversial issue.
Beads, Bodies, and Trash merges cultural sociology with a commodity chain analysis by following Mardi Gras beads to their origins. Beginning with Bourbon Street of New Orleans, this book moves to the grim factories in the tax-free economic zone of rural Fuzhou, China. Beads, Bodies, and Trash teaches students to think critically about and question everyday objects that circulate around the globe: where do objects come from, how do they emerge, where do they end up, what are their properties, what assemblages do they form, and what are the consequences (both beneficial and harmful) of those properties on the environment and human bodies? This book also asks students to confront how the beads can contradictorily be implicated in fun, sexist, unequal, and toxic relationships of production, consumption, and disposal. With a companion documentary, Mardi Gras Made in China, this book introduces students to recording technologies as possible research tools.
Beads, Bodies, and Trash is a work of sensory ethnography appropriate for courses in gender and sexuality; quantitative or ethnographic research methods; deviance, crime, and social control; social movements; globalization; and Social Problems.
