"What does it mean to be working-class and queer in twenty-first-century Britain? How is class experienced under conditions of austerity, while we are told society is classless? Do younger and older queers identify in class terms? How do queers navigate life in a post-feminist and 'post-gay' world? This book focuses on the lives of working-class queers, contextualizing experiences and identities in changing cultural, social, and legal contexts. Amidst grand statements on LGBTQIA+ equalities as 'diversity rhetoric, ' it shows how struggles for recognition are always material and that class continues to shape queer lives. Yvette Taylor addresses these lives through a wide range of contexts, including education, employment, family, and queer space. Exploring who is represented and who is excluded within the globalized rainbow acronym; she looks at the commercialization of queer spaces and the political endorsement of a certain type of 'queer subject;' and how employment can act as a barrier and a disadvantage for working-class queers."--

"Ce livre a un objet : l'usine comme espace social. Il a un moyen : l'observation du travail industriel." Voici l'aboutissement d'une très longue enquête menée sur les usines de l'entreprise Ansaldo - sidérurgie, métallurgie, mécanique, chantiers navals - à l'ouest de Gênes, du milieu du XIXe siècle aux années 1930. Après ses premiers travaux sur la proto-industrialisation et sur la manufacture, Alain Dewerpe y propose une ethnographie historique des pratiques sociales au sein de l'usine et de leurs transformations, de leurs ajustements souvent difficiles, de leurs confrontations et de leurs conflits. Au centre, donc, le travail, dans ses dimensions économiques, techniques, professionnelles, relationnelles, culturelles ; les rapports de forces induits par les compétences, par l'organisation mais aussi par les habitudes ; les tentatives pour les ordonner à des logiques productives, techniques, financières. Et, plus largement, une réflexion sur la transformation des modes de vie, sur la discipline des corps et des temps. Car derrière les grandes réalisations qui ont fait la gloire de l'Ansaldo, en amont des stratégies du capital et des incertitudes de la gestion, ce livre fait comprendre la "réalité diversifiée des rapports sociaux, l'intégration des microdispositifs, les trajectoires de l'infiniment petit, les combinatoires de l'infime" : ce qui fait l'usine, au jour le jour

A number of scholars have found that concepts such as mutation, selection, and random drift, which emerged from the theory of biological evolution, may also explain evolutionary phenomena in other disciplines as well. Drawing on these concepts, Professors Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman classify and systematize the various modes of transmitting "culture" and explore their consequences for cultural evolution. In the process, they develop a mathematical theory of the non-genetic transmission of cultural traits that provides a framework for future investigations in quantitative social and anthropological science.The authors use quantitative models that incorporate the various modes of transmission (for example, parent-child, peer-peer, and teacher-student), and evaluate data from sociology, archaeology, and epidemiology in terms of the models. They show that the various modes of transmission in conjunction with cultural and natural selection produce various rates of cultural evolution and various degrees of diversity within and between groups. The same framework can be used for explaining phenomena as apparently unrelated as linguistics, epidemics, social values and customs, and diffusion of innovations. The authors conclude that cultural transmission is an essential factor in the study of cultural change.

The United States has the most family-hostile public policy in the developed world. Contesting the idea that women need to negotiate better within the family, and redefining the notion of success in the workplace, Joan C. Williams reinvigorates the work-family debate and offers the first steps to making life manageable for all American families.
