Las "cárceles del capital humano": trabajo y vidas precarias en la juventud universitaria

2017

En los últimos treinta años se ha transitado desde una concepción del capital humano como una macromagnitud económica a una idea de capital humano corporeizada en el individuo. Hemos asistido a una progresiva infiltración de dicha ideología del capital humano también en la vida de la juventud precaria. Nos centramos aquí en los jóvenes universitarios, para quienes el capital humano, ya de forma hegemónica, dirige y marca sus recorridos laborales y vitales. El análisis de los discursos de estos jóvenes nos permitirá explorar desde la imposición de la lógica de la movilidad laboral, a la sujeción a las formas de "emprendedor de sí mismo" y a la normalización, como parte del proceso de incorpo…

Co-teaching that works; Special and General Educators’ Perspectives on Collaboration

There are surprisingly few studies analysing collaboration between special and general educators that has been proven to work well. The aim of the present study is to explore the perspectives of sp...

Meaningful time for professional growth or a waste of time?: a study in five countries on teachers' experiences within master's dissertation/thesis w…

2020

The relationship between master’s thesis work and teachers’ professional development has rarely been explored empirically, yet. Drawing upon a larger study, this paper investigates how teachers who were studying for or who have recently graduated from Master of Education programmes offered in five countries – Poland, Portugal, England, Latvia, Romania – perceive the usefulness of dissertation/thesis work for their professional development and how they attempt to use their MA research results in their (future) teaching practice. Results suggest that although most respondents recognized their MA dissertation/thesis work as having a positive impact on their professional development by enhancin…

The Sociology of Nazism

1994

In a previous paper, we tested a number of critical hypotheses derived from the three principal explanations of the sociology of Nazism. Our major finding was that the mass society, lower middle-class party of protest, and political confessionalism theses are empirically flawed. In this article, we apply an interest-based theory to the sociology of blue-collar Nazism. Using a sample of 15,006 workers who joined the Nazi Party between 1925 and 1932, we test the validity of our interest-based theory. The data demonstrate significant support for an interest-based account of Nazi Party working-class joining.

Language Policy and Ethnic Tensions in Quebec and Latvia

2004

Introduction Concern for the French language in Quebec in the 1960s and 1970s and the Latvian language in the then Soviet Union in the late 1980s and in the new Latvian state in the 1990s were ignited by some of the same demographic and assimilative forces in the two societies. Both Quebec and Latvia had lost their independence to larger powers. The birth rate and population declined abruptly in the two subnations. Schools in English (in Quebec) and Russian (in Latvia) attracted most immigrants. The elites were disproportionately drawn from outside the majority ethnic groups. To counter these trends, language policies were drafted, restricting access to English and Russian languages in scho…

Les deux faces – objective/subjective – de la mobilité sociale

2006

06062; National audience; How does objective social mobility, traditionally measured with tables of mobility drawn up by sociologists, relate to feelings about mobility, i.e., how individuals perceive, explain and appraise their social trajectory? Using a question from a survey (Insee's Formation, qualification professionnelle), subjective mobility was statistically evaluated so as to bring the two approaches to mobility together and measure the (considerable) frequency of deviations. Subjective mobility was then analyzed qualitatively on the basis of interviews conducted with respondents in the same survey. This helps us account for deviations and identify the bundle of parameters that peo…

Agenda and media pluralism in Al Rojo Vivo and Las Mañanas de Cuatro

2019

espanolAun con el auge del entorno digital e hibrido, la television continua siendo el principal medio de informacion en Espana. Se toma una muestra de 50 programas (25 de “Al Rojo Vivo” y 25 de “Las Mananas de Cuatro”) para registrar quien participa en ellos, en que condiciones lo hacen y sobre que temas se discute. Se aprecia un alto grado de equivalencia en la agenda establecida y una bajisima inclusion de mujeres. El Proces catalan monopolizo la atencion. La metodologia incluye la cuantificacion de los contraargumentos recibidos por los contertulios, mostrando una clara desventaja de las posiciones soberanistas e izquierdistas (a pesar de tratarse de las dos cadenas identificadas mas a …

Recognition and the Other in Social Work

2020

Abstract Axel Honneth’s recognition theory is a useful ethical framework for social work. Stephen Webb connects it straightforwardly with the relativistic ethical tradition that arguably emphasises the role of differences too much. However, this article shows that an alternative objectivist reading of recognition theory evades Webb’s critique and describes a balanced attitude towards otherness, fitting the practical field of social work. A detailed picture of recognition theory also reveals how it can be utilised in macro-level social critique. Contrary to what Webb claims, it is important that social workers generally respect differences in their work. Unfortunately, every attempt to under…
