Ernest Gellner’s Legacy and Social Theory Today
by Petr SkalníkThis edited volume examines the critical issues of the 21st century through the prism of Ernest Gellner’s work. The contributors look critically at Gellner´s legacy, questioning whether he remains an inspiration for today’s social theorists. Chapters proactively probe Gellner’s thoughts on a variety of pressing topics—modernity, postcolonialsm, nationalism, and more—without losing sight of current debates on these issues. This volume further brings these debates to life by having each chapter followed by a comment by an academic peer of the chapter author, thus transforming the text into a lively and dynamic conversation.
Ernesto Laclau: Pädagogische Lektüren
by Ralf Mayer Steffen Wittig Julia SperschneiderDer Band diskutiert ausgewählte Positionen der Theoriebildung Ernesto Laclaus, die in den letzten Jahren im Kontext demokratietheoretischer Debatten zwar in politik-, kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Feldern rezipiert wurde, deren Aufnahme in erziehungswissenschaftlichen Debatten aber eher als ‚handverlesen‘ bezeichnet werden könnte. Die Rezeption beschränkt sich häufig auf spezifische Einsätze rund um die gemeinsam mit Chantal Mouffe in Hegemonie und radikale Demokratie entwickelte und an Antonio Gramsci ansetzende Hegemonietheorie. Dass Laclaus Perspektiven jedoch eine Vielzahl produktiver Anschlüsse und Irritationen für unterschiedliche pädagogische Frage- und Problemstellungen beinhalten, verdeutlichen die hier versammelten Beiträge rund um transdisziplinäre Spannungsverhältnisse von Politik, Bildung und Pädagogik, von Artikulation und Repräsentation, von Ontologie und Identität oder im Kontext aktueller Sichtweisen auf Inklusion, Solidarität, Migration, pädagogische Beziehungen und Professionalität.
Ernesto's Ghost
by Edward GonzalezSet against a backdrop of real people and events, Ernesto's Ghost is more than an espionage thriller or historical novel about Cuba. It is about moral choices-the moral choices made by the novel's central character, Professor David Diamond, when he discovers the dark side of the revolution, and the choices made by the other principal characters regarding their revolutionary commitment, their loved ones, and their professionalism. The time is 1974. A possible rapprochement between the United States and Cuba is in the offing following Nixon's resignation. But Henry Kissinger and the State Department are receiving mixed signals from Havana. On the eve of his trip to Cuba, the CIA tries to enlist Diamond in sorting out Fidel Castro's real intentions. The novel follows Diamond in Cuba as he begins to doubt the revolution only to fall in love with the stunning Catalina Cruz. It traces Catalina's own struggle in getting over the death of her beloved Ernesto, the epitome of Cuba's new man, and in ultimately questioning her government's policies. And it is a tale of the two lovers fending off Cuba's all-powerful state and the Comandante himself. On still other levels Ernesto's Ghost follows the dedication and courage of two intelligence officers-the CIA's Rudy Garcya and Joaquyn Acosta of Cuba's State Security-who are guided more by their own moral compasses than by the dictates of their governments. It is also about a revolution gone astray and the conceit of idealism that blinded so many of its followers. Finally, Ernesto's Ghost takes the reader through a labyrinth of political intrigue, with its concluding chapters full of unexpected twists and revelations, with mounting tension and suspense. It will appeal to those who enjoy popular fiction, as well as those interested in learning more about international politics and a major political phenomenon of our times.
Ernst Bloch
by Vincent GeogheganErnst Bloch is perhaps best known for his subtle and imaginative investigation of utopias and utopianism, but his work also provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of western culture, politics and society. Yet, because he has not been one of easiest of writers to read his full contribution has not been widely acknowledged. Block developed a complex conceptual framework, and presented this in a prose style which many have found to verge on the impenetrable. In this critical and accessible introduction to one of the most fascinating thinkers of the twentieth century, Vincent Geoghegan unravels much of the mystery of the man and his ideas.
Eros and Economy: Jung, Deleuze, Sexual Difference (Research in Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies)
by Barbara JenkinsEros and Economy: Jung, Deleuze, Sexual Difference explores the possibility that social relations between things, partially inscribed in their aesthetics, offer important insights into collective political-economic relations of domination and desire. Drawing on the analytical psychology of Carl Jung and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, this book focuses on the idea that desire or libido, overlaid by sexual difference, is a driving force behind the material manifestations of cultural production in practices as diverse as art or economy. Re-reading the history of capitalism and aesthetics with an awareness of the forces of sexual difference reveals not just their integral role in the development of capitalist markets, but a new understanding of our political-economic relations as humans. The appearance of the energies of sexual difference is highlighted in a number of different historical periods and political economies, from the Rococo period of pre-revolutionary France, to the aesthetics and economics of Keynesian Bloomsbury, to our contemporary Postmodern sensibility. With these examples, Jenkins demonstrates that the very constitution of capitalist markets is affected by the interaction of these forces; and she argues that a conscious appreciation and negotiation of them is integral to an immanent, democratic understanding of power. With its unique application of Jungian theory, this book provides important new insights into debates surrounding art, aesthetics, and identity politics, as well as into the quest for autonomous, democratic institutions of politics and economics. As such, this book will appeal to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of Jung, psychoanalysis, political economy, cultural studies and gender studies, as well as those interested in the field of cultural economy.

Con la gracia y la brillantez que definen su poesía, Anne Carson desentraña los orígenes del deseo y sus contradicciones explorando la figura de Eros desde Safo de Lesbos -quien lo describió como «dulce y amargo»- o Platón, hasta Madame Bovary, Ana Karenina o nuestra Regenta. Helenista de formación, la escritora canadiensenos lleva hasta el origende nuestra cultura y de nuestra condición humana para iluminar problemas de nuestro tiempo en un gran ensayo, idóneo para iniciarse en su obra o para reencontrarse con ella. La crítica ha dicho...«Con un estilo profundo pero a la vez atractivo y dotado de amenidad, Carson parte de las palabras de la poeta Safo para rastrear los orígenes y el sentido del deseo. [...] Merece la pena entrar en el universo que plantea Carson, siempre impregnado de poesía, un mundo tan particular como poderoso.»Telva «Hay que leerla para rastrear el enigma de la belleza y el sexo. [...] Carson se reconoce en la esencia de la Antigua Grecia y la condensa en la luz de las cocinas y sus desayunos, en la nieve y en el bosque, en las conversaciones dolorosas, en las despedidas extrañas, en las páginas de los libros que enumera o en las citas de los versos que le ayudan a fabricar la textura inquietante de su propio universo.»Ana Merino, El Mundo «Letraherida por la literatura griega, Anne Carson ha dedicado su vida a indagar en los clásicos, a quienes nos acerca con singular talento: [...] Carson tiene el poder de hacer coincidir a Helena de Troya o Hércules con iconos occidentales como Marilyn Monroe.

Eros: Beyond the Death Drive
by Rosaura Martínez RuizEros considers a promise left unfulfilled in Sigmund Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Rosaura Martínez Ruiz argues that when the pleasure principle comes into contact with the death drive (the human tendency toward aggression or cruelty), the psyche can take detours that, without going beyond the limit of the pleasure principle, can nevertheless defer it. Eros reflects on these deviations of the pleasure principle, in the political sphere and in the intimate realm. Following these erotic paths, Martínez argues that the forces of the death drive can only be resisted if resistance is understood as an ongoing process. In such an effort, erotic action and the construction of pathways for sublimation are never-ending ethical and political tasks. We know that these tasks cannot be finally accomplished, yet they remain imperative and undeniably urgent.If psychoanalysis and deconstruction teach us that the death drive is insurmountable, through aesthetic creation and political action we can nevertheless delay, defer, and postpone it. Calling for the formation and maintenance of a “community of mourning duelists,” this book seeks to imagine and affirm the kind of “erotic battalion” that might yet be mobilized against injustice. This battalion’s mourning, Martínez argues, must be ongoing, open-ended, combative, and tenaciously committed to the complexity of ethical and political life.
Erotic Capital: The Power of Attraction in the Boardroom and the Bedroom
by Catherine HakimIn 2010, pioneering sociologist Catherine Hakim shocked the world with a provocative new theory: In addition to the three recognized personal assets (economic, cultural, and social capital), each individual has a fourth asset-erotic capital-that he or she can, and should, use to advance within society. In this bold and controversial book, Hakim explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life. Social scientists have paid little serious attention to these modes of personal empowerment, despite overwhelming evidence of their importance. In Erotic Capital, Hakim marshals a trove of research to show that rather than degrading those who employ it, erotic capital represents a powerful and potentially equalizing tool-one that we scorn only to our own detriment.
Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting
by James KincaidIn Erotic Innocence James R. Kincaid explores contemporary America's preoccupation with stories about the sexual abuse of children. Claiming that our culture has yet to come to terms with the bungled legacy of Victorian sexuality, Kincaid examines how children and images of youth are idealized, fetishized, and eroticized in everyday culture. Evoking the cyclic elements of Gothic narrative, he thoughtfully and convincingly concludes that the only way to break this cycle is to acknowledge--and confront--not only the sensuality of children but the eroticism loaded onto them. Drawing on a number of wide-ranging and well-publicized cases as well as scandals involving such celebrities as Michael Jackson and Woody Allen, Kincaid looks at issues surrounding children's testimonies, accusations against priests and day-care centers, and the horrifying yet persistently intriguing rumors of satanic cults and "kiddie porn" rings. In analyzing the particular form of popularity shared by such child stars such Shirley Temple and Macaulay Culkin, he exposes the strategies we have devised to deny our own role in the sexualization of children. Finally, Kincaid reminds us how other forms of abuse inflicted on children--neglect, abandonment, inadequate nutrition, poor education--are often overlooked in favor of the sensationalized sexual abuse coverage in the news, on daytime TV talk shows, and in the elevators and cafeterias of America each day.This bold and critically enlightened book will interest readers across a wide range of disciplines as well as a larger general audience interested in American culture.

by Gloria Gonzalez-LopezThis is a vivid chronicle of the sex lives of male and female Mexican immigrants in the US that highlights how ideas about sex change after migration to this country.
Erotic Performance and Spectatorship: New Frontiers in Erotic Dance (Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale)
by Katy PilcherErotic dance is one of the most contentious issues in feminist debates today and a source of fascination in media and popular cultural representations. Yet, why is it that we currently know so little about those who perform erotic dance for female customers, or the experiences of these spectators themselves? The result of a unique investigation within two of the UK’s leisure venues, Erotic Performance and Spectatorship seeks to rectify the aforementioned lack of insight. Through vivid ethnographies of a lesbian leisure venue and a male strip show, Pilcher’s research advances key debates about the gender and sexual politics of erotic dance, whilst simultaneously relating these to debates about the sex industry more widely. This book also subverts previous assumptions that only women perform erotic dance and only men spectate. Thus, this book stands out amongst other academic accounts, developing the debate beyond the established focus on erotic dance as either empowering or degrading. This new contribution to the study of erotic dance – which provides a fresh theoretical perspective combining queer and feminist theorising, in addition to rich empirical evidence – will appeal to academic researchers and both undergraduate and postgraduate students within the fields of sociology, gender studies, sexuality studies, gay & lesbian studies, feminism and other neighbouring disciplines. It will also be of interest to feminist and sex work activists, policy makers, and practitioners.
Eroticism of More- and Other-than-Human Bodies: A Study of the Anthropology of Things
by Grażyna GajewskaFocusing on non-human actors, Grażyna Gajewska expands the discussion of eroticism in contemporary culture by bringing in material culture, object studies, and “the anthropology of things.” She sets out from the assumption that things (such as, for instance, attire, underwear, shoes, or jewelry) play an important role in arousing erotic imagination—they are genuine participants in the process, not mere signifiers of eroticism. Their use does not denote only undeniable facts of everyday life associated with functionality, the pragmatic or aesthetic aspect, but also contribute to the shaping of human emotions, fantasies and phantasms. In her study, Gajewska brings eroticism in contemporary culture to light through applying gender studies to new contexts—animals, robots, virtual worlds—even as she explores a new methodology, the anthropology of things.
Erotics and Politics: Gay Male Sexuality, Masculinity and Feminism (Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities)
by Tim EdwardsErotics and Politics provides an interface between the study of sexuality (particularly gay male studies) and gender (primarily feminism). In doing so it covers a wide range of issues of concern to gay and feminist movements over the past twenty five years including gay liberational sexuality, sado-masochism, pornography, promiscuity, personal relationships, AIDS and postmodernity. The central focus of attention throughout is the nature, development and consequence of gay male sexuality and masculinity. This book is unique in its coverage of a wide range of issues and connecting subjects which are typically examined separately.
Errors in Organizations (SIOP Organizational Frontiers Series)
by Michael Frese David A. HofmannDespite the significance and prevalence of errors in organizations, there has been no attempt within the field of Industrial and Organizational Psychology to create a single source summarizing what we know regarding errors in organizations and providing a focused effort toward identifying future directions of research. This volume answers that need and provides contributions by researchers who have conducted a considerable amount of research on errors occurring in the work context. Students, academics and practitioners in a wide range of disciplines, i.e., industrial organizational psychology, medicine, aviation, human factors and systems engineering, will find this book of interest.

Erving Goffman
by Tom BurnsDecades after his death, the figure of Erving Goffman (1922-82) continues to fascinate. Perhaps the best-known sociologist of the second half of the twentieth century, Goffman was an unquestionably significant thinker whose reputation extended well beyond his parent discipline.A host of concepts irrevocably linked to Goffman's name - such as 'presentation of self', 'total institutions', 'stigma', 'impression management' and 'passing' - are now staples in a wide range of academic discourses and are slipping into common usage. Goffman's writings uncover a previously unnoticed pattern in the minutiae of everyday interaction. Readers are often shocked when they recognize themselves in his shrewd analyses of errors and common predicaments. This superb study, written by one of the most respected sociologists at work today, is an indispensible guide to the sociology of Erving Goffman. This book offers a compact guide to Goffman’s key ideas and the debates they have engendered, and incorporates understandings generated by recent Goffman scholarship.
Erving Goffman (Key Sociologists)
by Greg SmithDecades after his death, the figure of Erving Goffman (1922–82) continues to fascinate. Perhaps the best-known sociologist of the second half of the twentieth century, Goffman was an unquestionably significant thinker whose reputation extended well beyond his parent discipline. A host of concepts irrevocably linked to Goffman's name – such as 'presentation of self', 'total institutions', 'stigma', 'impression management' and 'passing' – are now staples in a wide range of academic discourses and are slipping into common usage. Goffman's writings uncover a previously unnoticed pattern and order in the minutiae of everyday interaction. Readers are often shocked when they recognize themselves in his shrewd analyses of errors, awkwardness and common predicaments. Greg Smith's book traces the emergence of Goffman as a sociological virtuoso, and offers a compact guide both to his sociology and to the criticisms and debates it has stimulated.
Erving Goffman et le travail social (21e – Société, histoire et cultures)
by Stéphanie Garneau & Dahlia NamianEn ces temps de morcèlement et de cloisonnement disciplinaire, il est impératif de rappeler les liens ambigus, mais néanmoins enchevêtrés, entre le travail social et la tradition sociologique dont est issu Erving Goffman. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage – travailleurs sociaux, sociologues, anthropologues, politistes et infirmiers – ouvrent la « boîte à outils goffmanienne », offrant des regards novateurs sur les enjeux contemporains entourant le travail social. Il prend appui sur une pluralité d’objets, dont la santé mentale, la toxicomanie, les soins aux personnes âgées ou avec un handicap, et l’aide aux sans-abris. Que ce soit sous l’angle épistémologique, théorique, méthodologique ou pratique, la posture goffmanienne est digne de considération. Elle permet d’observer les effets des institutions et des catégories du travail social sur les personnes ciblées. Elle aide à sortir d’une vision normative de l’intervenant pour identifier les possibilités et les contraintes qui pèsent sur lui. Elle permet également d’accéder aux dimensions tacites, affectives et parfois insoupçonnées du social et de la relation d’aide dans le but de rendre visible l’invisible, de rendre intolérable le toléré et les allant-de-soi. Les dix-sept collaborateurs rattachent certaines des ficelles qui ont été dénouées entre les deux disciplines au fil des luttes visant leur reconnaissance institutionnelle.Publié en français
Erving Goffman: From the Perspective of the New Sociology of Knowledge (Knowledge, Communication and Society)
by Jürgen RaabWhile Erving Goffman’s books are among the most widely read sociological works, covering issues including the presentation of the self, total institutions, interaction order to frame analysis, they are in fact guided by a single theme: the analysis of the form of interaction in social situations and the role that individuals play in it. This book stresses Goffman’s central role as a sociological theorist, exploring the potentials of his work and uncovering the recondite layers of his oeuvre. In opening a path to understanding the complexity of his writings, it offers new directions for social theory and empirical research.
Erving Manuel Goffman: Biographical Sources of Sociological Imagination
by Dmitri N. ShalinErving Goffman is the most cited American sociologist. There is no shortage of studies exploring Goffman’s scholarship but no extant biography of Erving Goffman. The chief reason is that a man who looked behind the facades people erect to protect their private selves, zealously guarded his own backstage. This book is the first comprehensive biography of Goffman, an intellectual of Russian-Jewish descent, who turned the “Potemkin village” trope into a powerful research program. The present study shows how key turns in Goffman’s career reflected dramatic events in his family and personal history. It is based on the materials gathered in the Erving Goffman Archives, a repository curated by the author who has been collecting documents and conducting interviews with Goffman’s relatives, colleagues, and friends. The archival work turned up documents which improve our understanding of Goffman the scholar, the teacher, and the man. The approach adopted in this investigation sheds new light on Goffman’s scholarship which has had an enormous and continuous impact across the social sciences and humanities.

Erwerbsregulierung in einer globalisierten Welt: Theoretische Konzepte und empirische Tendenzen der Regulierung von Arbeit und Beschäftigung in der Transnationalisierung
by Ludger PriesArbeit und Produktion sind im 21. Jahrhundert immer stärker grenzüberschreitend vernetzt. Dies galt aber bisher nicht in gleichem Maße für die Regulierung der Arbeits-, Beschäftigungs- und Partizipationsbedingungen der erwerbstätigen Menschen. Nationale Mechanismen und Institutionen dominieren immer noch die Festlegung etwa von Bezahlung, Arbeitszeit, Arbeitsschutz und Beteiligung der Beschäftigten. Bei genauerer Betrachtung zeigt sich eine Vielfalt von grenzüberschreitenden Formen der Festlegung z.B. von Mindeststandards für Arbeit und von Verhaltensregeln für internationale Konzerne. Es entsteht eine transnationale Netzwerktextur der Erwerbsregulierung, die internationale Organisationen, staatliche Akteure, Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen, globale Konzerne, Gewerkschaften und Arbeitnehmervertretungen einbezieht. Der ‚globalisierte Kapitalismus‘ agiert zwar grenzüberschreitend, aber nicht ungebändigt.
Erziehung zur Wut: Eine sozio-epistemologische Analyse des Kleinbürgers (Diversität und Bildung im digitalen Zeitalter)
by David KergelDer Band leistet eine sozio-epistemologische Analyse von Erziehung und den mit der Erziehung verbundenen Subjektformationen. Heuristisch wird die Subjektformation des Kleinbürgers als Manifestation von Erziehungspraktiken analysiert. Methodisch kommt ein transdisziplinärer Ansatz zur Anwendung, der sozio-epistemologische, psychoanalytische, soziologische sowie bildungstheoretische Analysestrategien integrativ zusammenführt. Die vorliegende Studie leistet eine theoriebasierte Analyse der (gesellschaftlichen) Effekten von Erziehung als pädagogische Praxis. Dabei steht eine sozio-epistemologische Auseinandersetzung mit Produktion von Subjektformationen im pädagogischen Kontext im Fokus der Analyse.
Erziehungswissenschaftliche Jugendforschung: Ein Aufbruch
by Cathleen Grunert Wolfgang Schröer Nicolle Pfaff Karin BockDer Band geht der Frage nach, welche aktuelle Bedeutung die Jugendforschung in der Erziehungswissenschaft hat. In den Beiträgen wird diskutiert, wie das Gegenstandsfeld Jugend in der Erziehungswissenschaft aktuell konturiert ist und mit welchen theoretischen und methodischen Zugängen es bearbeitet wird. Darüber hinaus wird untersucht, wie die Jugendforschung in die verschiedenen subdisziplinären Zusammenhänge und nachbardisziplinären Bezüge eingebunden ist und vor welche jugend-, forschungs- und disziplinpolitischen Herausforderungen eine erziehungswissenschaftlich orientierte Jugendforschung aktuell gestellt ist.
Escalation of Commitment in Internationalization Processes
by Björn RöberThis unique book on international business presents a critical review of the role of bounded rationality in internationalization process (IP) research. Corporate internationalization processes have been a subject of scientific debate for several decades. However, it is questionable whether behavioral research insights are sufficiently acknowledged in this academic discipline. Against this backdrop, the author critically assesses the behavioral assumptions of the Uppsala Model, which is commonly considered to be the pivotal approach in internationalization process research.
