Mein Bauch gehört uns. Gynisierung und Symmetrisierung der Elternschaft bei schwangeren Paaren

2019

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag sucht nach neuen Konzepten und sozialen Mechanismen zur Erklärung der Retraditionalisierung von Paarbeziehungen in der Familiengründung und berichtet zentrale Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Studie zur Paardynamik während der Schwangerschaft. Er identifiziert u. a. berufs- und familienbiografische Pfadabhängigkeiten sowie stille weibliche Besetzungen und männliche Delegationen von Elternschaft. Als ein Schlüsselmechanismus erweist sich die Umwidmung der Altersdifferenz im Verlauf von Paarbeziehungen. Konzeptuell plädiert der Beitrag für eine Ersetzung des Begriffs der Retraditionalisierung durch den der Gynisierung von Schwangerschaft und Elternschaft, der weder die…

Pit Bulls and Dogfighting as Symbols of Masculinity in Hip Hop Culture

2020

This article explores the aesthetic and cultural connections between the hyper-masculinization inherent to hip hop culture (and particularly to gangsta rap), the pit bull dog breed, and dogfighting. Building on recent scholarship that has identified the racial and racist assumptions underlying the pit bull controversy, I provide further evidence and arguments on how the highly racialized and genderized hip hop discourses inoculate the pit bull body and suffuse it with multiple meanings reminiscent of America’s traumatic encounter with otherness. As a palimpsest that attests to both mainstream and countercultural explorations of racialized masculinities, the pit bull body is made to “perfor…

La restauration collective des ouvriers en France pendant la Grande Guerre

2014

Avant 1914, les cantines ouvrieres sont rares. La Premiere Guerre mondiale constitue une phase d’acceleration de leur developpement et de leur transformation. Ces evolutions tiennent en premier lieu au caractere imperieux de l’amelioration du ravitaillement : il faut nourrir une nouvelle population, plus nombreuse, davantage composee de femmes et d’etrangers, avec leurs habitudes alimentaires. L’alimentation au travail presente des enjeux contemporains decisifs en termes d’effort de production, de paix sociale, et de reforme de la condition ouvriere, esperee en particulier par l’energique ministre Albert Thomas. Les cantines se multiplient. L’initiative cooperative, pour gerer tantot des re…

AbstractOccasionally, organisations are forced to adopt new practices that are inconsistent with the expectations of their stakeholders. An immediate adoption of the practices would risk the organisation’s legitimacy, but as previous research has noted, the perceptions of organisational stakeholders can be managed through symbolic actions. In this article, I examine how actors from four retail organisations symbolically legitimated the adoption of the hypermarket format within their individual contexts by means of internal professional magazines. The analysis suggests that the organisations buttressed their legitimacy by reversing Meyer and Rowan’s idea of loose coupling – adopting the new …

Sports participation in France and Spain: An international comparison of voraciousness for sport

2020

International audience; The societal comparative approach used in this article to assess voraciousness for sport is based on local surveys. The global was studied at a local level, based on a lengthy process of harmonization of quantitative local surveys. The research is carried out in two countries that are geographically close, but quite different to each other: France and Spain. In an increasingly globalized world, the objective is to examine differences in the social uses of physical activities and sports (PAS) between the two populations, by explaining them with respect to the differences between these two societies as a whole. The social differentiations identified in the portfolio si…

Des Translators neue Kleider. Die Translationwirtschaft in Zeiten von Digitalisierung, Datafizierung und Big Data Management

2017

Abstract The Internet of things will influence all professional environments, including translation services. Advances in machine learning, supported by accelerating improvements in computer linguistics, have enabled new systems that can learn from their own experience and will have repercussions on the workflow processes of translators or even put their services at risk in the expected digitalized society. Outsourcing has become a common practice and working in the cloud and in the crowd tend to enable translating on a very low-cost level. Confronted with promising new labels like Industry 4.0 and Work 4.0, professional freelance translators will have to organize themselves as smart office…

The Sacralization of Martyric Death in Romanian Legionary Movement: Self-sacrificial Patriotism, Vicarious Atonement, and Thanatic Nationalism

2016

ABSTRACTThe paper explores the radical morphing of Romanian patriotism in the aftermath of the Great War within the Legionary movement. It shows, first, how the war martialized the rhetoric of self-sacrificial patriotism articulated discursively during the second part of the long nineteenth century that accompanied the making of the Romanian national statehood. Second, the paper focuses on unraveling the postwar cultural matrix that made possible a radical, self-sacrificial, patriotism to emerge within the Romanian Iron Guard’s fascist worldview. Within the Legion’s redemptive political theology, the wartime national patriotism aiming at redeeming the nation by making the Greater Romania wa…

The Influence of Local Culture on Students' Educational Outcomes

2013

All adolescents are closely connected with their living environment, which influences their lives and learning in many ways. For example, individuals’ mental functions develop in interaction within different social, historical, cultural, and institutional contexts. In these environments, we can find different cultural features that have an impact on students’ educational outcomes.

Structural Dynamics and Intentional Governance in Strategic Interorganizational Network Evolution: A Multilevel Approach

2016

This article aims to shed light on the drivers underlying the role and scope of intentional governance of the structural dynamics of whole interorganizational networks. Prior research has distinguished networks that are emergent from networks that are orchestrated. While empirical studies have shown situations in which the role and scope of intentional governance of whole interorganizational networks has changed in time, and there is a growing interest regarding the endogenous drivers of network dynamics, the dimensions that influence intentional governance of network structure dynamics and the way this is carried out remain still to be elucidated. In order to pinpoint these drivers, we le…

The Recomposition of Bureaucratic Forms in Territorial Development. Territorial Engineering and Intermediation in Project Territories

2013

L’ingénierie territoriale mobilise un répertoire de savoirs et d’objets intermédiaires au cœur du processus de création territoriale. Cet équipement cognitif est nécessaire à la cohésion de l’action publique multiniveaux au sein du territoire de projet. Dans ce contexte, bien que les modalités de gestion des contrats d’action publique ne dénaturent par la fonction médiatrice de ce répertoire, elles sont standardisées par les forces de l’isomorphisme institutionnel. L’ingénierie territoriale se bureaucratisant, elle administre des procédures qui font des territoires des segments d’exécution d’une politique définie indépendamment des enjeux territoriaux. At the heart of territorial processing…
