"Sovereignty Unhinged gathers essays that position affect as a lens to think through what sovereignty feels like in the contemporary moment, and examine the sense of what is possible-politically, economically, and socio-culturally-in a post-9/11 militarized world. Rather than adhering to master narratives, normative disciplinary frames, or the idea of an autonomous, rational subject, this volume examines the "unhinging" of sovereignty-the energies, excesses, and ambitions of being out of order, dislocated, even hysterical or mad. This volume brings together essays from leading anthropologists such as Akhil Gupta, Jessica Cattelino, and Yarimar Bonilla, as well as visual artwork by Lochlann Jain."--

Nicholas Vrousalis argues that exploitation is a form of domination, namely enrichment through the domination of others. This form of domination, being reducible to neither unfairness nor to defective consent, structurally pervades capitalist relations between consenting adults, as well as oppressive gender and race relations.

This book offers a unique intersectional perspective on gender equality, SDG5. It presents an intersection of gender with caste, class, region, ethnic and sexual identities, and other structural drivers of inequalities in various development sectors. It presents case studies and empirical findings from development practice and policymaking and highlights the challenges to implementing SDG5 in practice. It discusses policies to promote gender equality and prevent violence against women and girls, and women in decision-making and leadership positions. The chapters reinstate that gender equality is possible only if unequal gender norms are transformed to recognize women and girls as independent economic entities and not merely homemakers providing unpaid care. It also analyzes to deconstruct the idea of monolithic masculinity to recognize gender diversity and men’s role in providing care. The book shows how much has been achieved, yet how far is also left to go. It is an essential reference point for researchers, policymakers, students, and scholars across gender studies, women’s studies, and sociology.

Die Segregation des Arbeitsmarktes nach Geschlecht ist in der sozial- und wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Forschung bereits vielfach beleuchtet. Weniger Augenmerk wird in der Forschung auf Geschlechterunterschiede bei der Arbeitslosigkeit und speziell beim beruflichen Wiedereinstieg gelegt. An diese Forschungslücke knüpft dieses Forschungsprojekt an und untersucht Geschlechterunterschiede beim beruflichen Wiedereinstieg mit quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden. Die Herausgebenden Johann Bacher ist Professor am Institut für Soziologie der Johannes Kepler Universität Linz. Martina Beham-Rabanser ist Familiensoziologin am Institut für Soziologie der Johannes Kepler Universität Linz. Thomas Lankmayer ist am Institut für Berufs- und Erwachsenenbildungsforschung tätig.

"This handy, concise biography covers the life of Mary Douglas, one of the most important anthropologists of the second half of the 20th century. Her work focused on how human groups classify each other, and how they resolve the anomalies that then arise. Classification, she argued, emerges from practices of social life, and is a factor in all deep and intractable human disputes. This biography offers an introduction to how her distinctive approach developed across a long and productive career and how it applies to current pressing issues of social conflict and planetary survival"--

Pour comprendre l’émancipation des femmes de notre présent, Emmanuel Todd retrace, depuis l’origine, l’évolution de la famille dans l’espèce Homo sapiens. Il mène une large étude empirique de la convergence entre hommes et femmes et des différences qui persistent – d’éducation, de métier, de longévité, de suicide ou d’homicide, de comportement électoral ou de racisme. Il suggère que l’émancipation des femmes a, pour l’essentiel, déjà eu lieu mais qu’elle a conduit à des contradictions nouvelles. En même temps que la liberté, les femmes découvrent l’anxiété économique, l’anomie, le ressentiment – individuel ou de classe. Un livre qui s’efforce de comprendre, hors des sentiers trop fréquentés de l’idéologie, les paradoxes de notre révolution anthropologique.

This edited volume brings together a range of scholars to reflect on the varied ways in which caste is manifested and experienced in social life. Each chapter draws on different methods and approaches, while all consider lived experiences and experiential narrations. Considering Guru and Sarukkai’s path-breaking work on ‘Experience, Caste and the Everyday Social’ (2019), this volume applies the insights of the theories to multiple settings, issues and communities. Unique to this volume, Brahmin and other dominant castes' experiences are considered, rather than simply focusing on the lives of oppressed castes (Dalits). Analysis of cross-caste friendships or romances and marriages bring out the intimate and ingrained aspects of caste, and therefore, taken together, the contributions in this volume offer rich insights into caste and its consciousness within the framework of everyday experiences.
