Transnational social networks powerfully shape Mexican migration and enable families to stretch internationally. In an atmosphere
of such high dependence on social networks, it would be rare for families not to be affected by the opinions of others. This
article analyzes this often-overlooked aspect of social networks, gossip. I analyze gossip stories prevalent for one type
of migrant family, those in which parents and children live apart. Drawing on over 150 ethnographic interviews and observation
with members of Mexican transnational families and their neighbors in multiple sites, I describe both parents’ and children’s
experiences with transnational gossip. I show that in a transnational context, gossip is a highly gendered activity with different
consequences for men and women. Although targeting both women and men, transnational gossip reinforces the expectations that
mothers be family caregivers and fathers be family providers even when physical separation makes these activities difficult
to accomplish.

This paper analyzes how ethno-racial standpoints influence the ways that genealogists negotiate and narrate biological and/or
social interpretations of family and social history. A constructivist methodological approach grounds the analysis of three
family genealogists who all have African and European lineages, but differ in their current ethno-racial identities. These
case studies serve as exemplars of how individuals negotiate the racial formation processes of past and present. I suggest
that there is reflexive and political potential in bio-based genealogy to transform our current racial “common sense.” The
practice of genealogy reveals tacit social and biological assumptions that can serve as points of leverage for progressive
social change, and yet vary by standpoint. In the context of the iconic gene we must be vigilant about the threat of genetic
essentialism, yet the threat is mitigated by the simultaneous democratization of our knowledge and control over origin stories.

The Multiple Meanings of Work for Welfare-Reliant Women 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kerry Woodward 《Qualitative sociology》2008,31(2):149-168
Based on ethnographic and interview data collected at two welfare to work offices, this paper explores the various meanings
that welfare-reliant women give to paid work. Although studies show that welfare-reliant women support work requirements and
believe that welfare receipt should be temporary, even Progressives often fail to see the multiple meanings work has for poor
women, and how similar these are to the meanings most Americans attach to work. Not only do poor women want to work for basic
economic survival, but they view paid work as a means to family security, a path to fulfilling personal aspirations, and as
their civic responsibility.

This article examines how former prisoners of color conceptualize their political, social, and economic futures and how these
conceptualizations relate to the racialized social structural obstacles encountered upon reentry and decisions to re-engage
criminal labor. I find that, presented with similar post-prison challenges, excarcerated men take several approaches when
reentering society. I argue that the differences among their approaches lie in their varying interpretations of how they can
act as individuals against and within their social structural limitations. Their decisions to rejoin or forfeit participation
in criminal economies are thus shaped by experiences confronting the limitations of material conditions but also emerge from
their critiques of racialized structures.

In this article we examine the debate preceding the most recent war in Iraq to show how gendered framing can compromise the
quality of debate. Drawing on a sample of national news discourse in the year before the war began, we show that both anti-war
and pro-war speakers draw on binary images of gender to construct their cases for or against war. Speakers cast the Bush administration’s
argument for invasion either as a correct “macho” stance or as inappropriate, out-of-control masculinity. The most prominent
gendered image in war debate is that of the cowboy, used to characterize both President Bush and US foreign policy in general.
The cowboy is positioned against a diplomatic form of masculinity that is associated with Europe and valued by anti-war speakers,
but criticized by pro-war speakers. Articles that draw on gender images show a lower quality of the debate, measured by the
extent to which reasons rather than ad hominem arguments are used to support or rebut assertions.

This article explores one region’s struggle for human rights and legal justice in post-war Guatemala. Rabinal—a target of
state-directed genocide in the 1980s—suffered one of the highest fatality levels of the war. In the post-war era, Rabinal
human rights activists have led the struggle to demand exhumations of mass graves, build memorials, and push for criminal
investigations and trials. Despite some important local victories, few of those responsible for the violence have received
punishment. But that does not mean this movement is a failure. Instead, this article highlights the cultural, expressive and
inprocess benefits of mobilization. Rabinal activists have restored their sense of agency and confirmed their collective identity
as fighters for legal justice. Meanwhile, this local mobilization has contributed to Guatemala’s uneven process of democratization.

The purpose of this theoretical article is to contribute to the analysis of knowledge and valuation in markets. In every market
actors must know how to value its products. The analytical point of departure is the distinction between two ideal types of
markets that are mutually exclusive, status and standard. In a status market, valuation is a function of the status rank orders
or identities of the actors on both sides of the market, which is more entrenched than the value of what is traded in the
market. In a market characterized by a standard, the situation is reversed; the scale of value is more entrenched than the
rankings of actors in the market. In a status market actors need to know about the other actors involved as there is no scale
of value for evaluating the items traded in the market independently of its buyers and sellers. In a standard market it is
more important to know how to meet the standard in relation to which all items traded are valued. The article includes empirical
examples and four testable hypotheses.

In the late twentieth century, many social scientists and other social commentators came to characterize the world as evolving
into an “information society.” Central to these claims was the notion that new social uses of information, and particularly
application of scientific knowledge, are transforming social life in fundamental ways. Among the supposed transformations
are the rise of intellectuals in social importance, growing productivity and prosperity stemming from increasingly knowledge-based
economic activity, and replacement of political conflict by authoritative, knowledge-based decision-making. We trace these
ideas to their origins in the Enlightenment doctrines of Saint Simon and Comte, show that empirical support for them has never
been strong, and consider the durability of their social appeal.

Previous research suggests that minorities are more likely to perceive racially-based discrimination in a variety of settings
than are whites, in large part because of the ways their personal experiences with racism shape the lens they use to view
the world. We examine a labor market that is typically considered an exception to patterns of racism in employment, the industry
of professional football. We interview athletes who attempted to gain employment in the National Football League, a labor
market where access to valued positions is heavily restricted by industry practices. Findings from field research and semi-structured
interviews indicate that minority workers experience symbolic discrimination during the hiring process. Differential treatment
of players reflects stereotypes about minority families and masculinity. Although minority and white players describe much
of the actual content of their labor market experiences in similar fashion, their perceptions of these experiences differ
sharply, with minority athletes identifying far more negative repercussions.

By virtually dominating French intellectual life (literature, philosophy, culture) during the early post-World War II period,
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) embodied what Pierre Bourdieu calls a “total intellectual” – one who responds to and helps frame
public debate on all the intellectual and political issues of the day. During his lifetime and even after his death in 1980,
Sartre’s thinking and political engagements provoked sharp reactions, both positive and negative, in France and abroad. Marxism,
decolonization struggles, and violence are three key themes on which Sartre’s public positions continue to generate considerable
debate – a debate that remains relevant today.

This study examines whether men and women invest in different determinants of productivity and whether these investments affect
productivity and salary in different ways. Hypotheses are tested from human and social capital theories that include more
direct measures for family responsibilities and family-friendly firm arguments. Data from 670 law firm lawyers were used given
they report a standardized measure of productivity in billable hours. Despite men investing more in their careers and women
investing more in their families, both report similar productivity and their productivity is affected similarly by these factors.
In addition, equally productive men and women are paid the same. The findings further our understanding of productivity and
salary and the relevance of family responsibilities and family-friendly firms.

R. W. Connell’s path-breaking notion of multiple masculinities (Connell, 1995) and hegemonic masculinity (Connell, 1987, 1995) have been taken up as central constructs in the sociology of gender. Although there has been a great deal of empirical research
and theory published that has built upon and utilized Connell’s concepts, an adequate conceptualization of hegemonic femininity
and multiple femininities has not yet been developed. To redress this, the author presents a theoretical framework that builds
upon the insights of Connell and others, offers a definition of hegemonic masculinity and hegemonic femininity that allows
for multiple configurations within each, and that can be used empirically across settings and groups. The author also outlines
how hegemonic masculinity and hegemonic femininity are implicated in and intersect with other systems of inequality such as
class, race, and ethnicity.
Mimi Schippers Is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Women’s Studies at Tulane University. The general focus of her research is the embodiment and interactional production of gender and sexuality in everyday life and culture. She is particularly interested in theorizing the links between embodiment, identities, meanings, and interaction and broader relations of inequality. She is currently writing a book in which she compares gay, lesbian, and straight bars in Chicago and Paris to identify culturally specific ways in which public settings are hetero-sexualized through embodiment, interaction, and the control of space. Her current research includes an ethnography of a street corner in New Orleans where the highly eroticized, straight bars of Bourbon Street end and the gay bars begin. She is author of Rockin’ Out of the Box: Gender Maneuvering in Alternative Hard Rock. Rutgers University Press, 2002. 相似文献

Professional Women, Good Families: Respectable Femininity and the Cultural Politics of a “New” India
Smitha Radhakrishnan 《Qualitative sociology》2009,32(2):195-212
This study of professional software women in urban India examines practices of respectable femininity and discourses of the
Indian family to understand the changing and abiding aspects of a seemingly new national culture. Colonial and nationalist
constructs of the Indian home, and the middle-class women who protected that home, continue to powerfully shape everyday articulations
of national belonging, even as they are transformed through individual negotiations and a global economy. Drawing from extensive
interviews and ethnographic work, this paper analyzes the interplay of gender, class, and nation in contemporary urban India
as individualized, gendered efforts to accumulate symbolic capital.

Methodological difficulties attendant to ethnographic fieldwork—such as gaining access, maintaining fieldwork relations, objectivity,
and fieldwork stresses—are intensified for researchers working with “absolutist” religious group, groups that hold an exclusivist
or totalistic definition of truth. Based on my fieldwork in a conservative South Korean evangelical community, I explore in
this article two central and related methodological dilemmas pertaining to studying absolutist religious groups: identity
negotiation and emotional management during fieldwork. Writing from my complex location as a feminist and a cultural/religious
insider/outsider in relation to the South Korean evangelical community, I explore in particular the challenges posed by identity/role
management in the field and its emotional dimensions, including the issue of the researcher’s power and vulnerability, the
quandary of “conformity,” and the emotional costs of self-repression arising from the researcher’s fundamental value conflicts
with the group. I conclude with a reflection on the implications of these experiences for ethnographic methodology, most centrally,
how we manage our emotional responses in the field, including “inappropriate” ones, and how we can relate them to the research
process.

In the 1970s, as children of Holocaust survivors reached adulthood, many began to excavate, piece together, and re-fashion
their fractured family histories. This movement achieved momentum in the 1980s and 1990s, as the so-called “second generation”
moved into middle age. Drawing from data gleaned from participant observation on a listserv for children of survivors and
from interviews, I argue that those who engage in post-Holocaust genealogy are searching for coherent narratives that place
their own origin in the context of the families into which they were born. By seeking, borrowing from and selectively appropriating
traces of the past, they are using them as raw material in the production of new stories about the past and, by implication,
the present.

This article examines the formation of occupational identity in a nursing program. The normative and ideological dimensions
of this process are revealed in the program’s goals and the views of educators and students through qualitative data from
observations and 30 in-depth interviews. Educators seek to socialize students toward professionalism to raise the occupation’s
status by emphasizing the scientific and technical basis of nursing. Yet students uphold a gendered discourse by identifying
a normative dimension of caring as central to their occupational identity. The dilemma between professionalism and caring
is reconciled as students construct an occupational identity based on “educated caring,” where these two dimensions are equally
valuable and significant.

Using ethnographic data collected in the downtown nightlife of Athens, Georgia, we explore black males’ responses to being
rejected from nightclubs via dress code enforcement in predominately white settings. We contrast these responses to the general
experiences of other black males who gained access. Although race is a factor in the enforcement of dress codes, we find a
fluid relationship between race, class, and taste that influences black males’ responses and experiences. We illustrate how
the nuanced reality of lived racial and class experiences for many young black males problematize the narrow interpretation
of a black cultural essence.

to have little direct impact on the formation of Catholic parishioners’ identities in my sample. While movements’ disruptions
and interactions with media are useful for generating debate and wider recognition of religious disagreements, my respondents
are not usually socialized by nor do they identify with familiar movements when they call themselves traditional, moderate,
and liberal. Most are uninterested in and unacquainted with movement organizations and publications. Instead, their religious
identification is a form of religious mapping, which reflects their self-understood position vis-à-vis recognized cultural
conflicts within the larger religious community. While movements play a limited role, I argue that we should be wary of conceptualizing
Catholic identities as products of movement groups or parachurch networks since most Catholic identity-work occurs within
families and parishes, as opposed to movements or parachurch organizations.
Brian Starks is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Florida State University. His previous research has examined religion’s role in shaping parental values towards autonomy and obedience over the past two decades. He has also explored the effects of downsizing and layoffs on belief in the American Dream and the importance of significant others in understanding racial differences in educational expectations. Broadly understood, his research highlights the ways that people’s outer lives shape their inner selves, and he has focused on historical shifts within American life pertinent to discussions of American exceptionalism. His most recent research is centered on understanding the religious and political divisions that have arisen within the U.S. over the past quarter century. 相似文献

Between 1909 and 1941, the Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) was actively involved in crafting and lobbying for policy solutions
to the pervasive problem of predatory lending. Using a rich assortment of archival records, I build upon political learning
theory by demonstrating how institutional conditions and political pressures – in addition to new knowledge gained through
scientific study and practical experience – all contributed to the emergence and development of RSF experts’ policy ideas
over the course of this 30-year period. In light of these findings, I suggest that policy ideas and political interests are
mutually constitutive, and that the notion that ideas must be shown to operate independent of interests in order to “prove”
that they matter in policymaking is misguided. Furthermore, I discuss the implications of the remarkable success of RSF’s
policy proposals for current understandings of institutional change. In particular, I argue that the passage of RSF’s controversial
Uniform Small Loan Law in 34 states suggests that political actors’ collective agency can produce significant policy reforms
in a context of normal policymaking without the intervention of major destabilizing events.
Elisabeth Anderson is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at Northwestern University. Her areas of interest include political sociology, cultural sociology, theory, and comparative-historical methods. She is currently in the early stages of research for her dissertation, a cultural history of child labor policy reform in the United States, Great Britain, and Germany. She is also working on a project (with Bruce Carruthers and Tim Guinnane) that examines how policy experts operating outside the system of professions establish and defend authority by carving up jurisdictional space. 相似文献
