     summary: The fact is that left- wing political poetry, taken as a whole, is better poetry than poetry in which the poet has tried to leave politics out of it, or in which the poet has deliberately written from a right-wing perspective (I suppose a few examples of the latter do exist). Some people argue that there is much badly written political poetry — that much of it reads like a political pamphlet chopped into line breaks, or sing-song rhyming doggerel — and that this proves that political subject matter is not suited to poetry.

     summary: Market society then, produces not only fragmented subjects but the com- plete fragmentation of social life. This structure has a number of important effects that taken together form Cinar’s critique of capitalist society—a critique that goes far beyond being merely anti-consumerist and anti-security, as other reviewers have commented on.

     summary: John Sorenson delivers an extensive analysis of animal rights in Canada, which is both extremely disturbing and informative. Because of its broad nature, Sorenson does not delve into an exhaustive analysis of any one topic but provides the reader with an excellent overview of the legal, historical, and social issues surrounding animal rights in Canada as well as the arguments, misconcep- tions, and industry propaganda embedded within it.

     summary: Gordon, by conducting a careful empirical study of legal regulations, demonstrates how police practices have served the systematic subordination of racialised and gendered populations in Canada. Although Gordon’s approach to police as a state-centred strategy leaves some questions unanswered such as the ever-increasing numbers of private police, he provides an accessible account to remind us that po- licing is a strategy driven by a moral discourse on the importance of employment and self-discipline, rather than a strategy to fight crime.

     summary: Foster’s main achievement is to draw together a difficult body of theory with urging po- litical questions and convincingly argue that it is high time ecological crises were addressed via a socialist, as opposed to a capitalist, approach. More generally, from Foster’s argument it can be discerned that in the face of ecological crises we need to think and act beyond disciplinary boundaries.

He can be reached at cfanelli@connect.carleton.ca In And Out Of Crisis: The Global Financial Meltdown and Left Alternatives 172 Alternate Routes: A Journal of Critical Social Research Fortunately, the authors have preemptively summarized the outline of the book (p.25): ‘Chapter one explores whether or not we are currently witnessing the end of neoliberalism; chapter two engages in current debates regarding the nature of capitalist crises, and the relationship be- tween the state, finance and production in a neoliberal era; chap- ter three traces the historical process through which, over a cen- tury punctuated by previous cries, the American State and finance developed in tandem, and came to play a new kind of imperial role at the centre of global capitalism; chapter four traces the de- velopment of the crisis that began in 2007 and explains the active role of the American state, both under Bush and Obama, in con- taining the crisis in ways that reproduced the structures of class inequality and power domestically and internationally; chapter five analyses how the relationship between industry and finance played itself out in the auto sector, bringing to the fore the full class dimensions of the crisis; chapter six reflects on the impasse of the North American labour movement and the implications for the North American Left; and Chapter seven tries to think creatively about alternatives, not least in terms of how advancing the case for democratic economic planning, including the nation- alization of the banks and auto industry, must become integrated with demands for immediate reforms.’

     summary: And a third exit – and the focus of the most heated political debate – is from deficit-spending fiscal policies toward public sector austerity. The general notion, expressed at the Toronto G20 Summit and other international meetings, is cutting public sector deficits in half by 2013, and phasing in a reduction of debt to GDP rations after 2016.

     summary: Wait another ten years and the estimated cost to rectify this dilemma rises from $20 billion to $30 billion as nearly 40 percent of federal service workers are expected to retire in the next five years. It is argued that while social services and spending are restricted for certain seg- ments of the Canadian working class, new arrangements and spend- ing initiatives are rolled out by the federal government in order to fuel enhanced capital accumulation.

Presenting experiences from a number of EU countries, this article will look at centre – periphery relations, macroeconomic imbalances and the design of the EMU as key factors that can explain why speculative attacks against an economically small country like Greece, contributing about 2.5% to the EU’s total GDP, translated into a severe crisis of European capitalism (European Central Bank 2010).

     summary: Although the turn of the millennium was accompanied by further outbreaks of financial crisis—for instance, the ‘dot.com’ stock-market bust and Argentina in 2001—a new wave of global economic growth accompanied by low inflation appeared to justify the self-satisfied claim that ‘the ‘Great Moderation’ had arrived (Bernanke, 2004). The triumph of neoliberalism – and globalization While the Third World was devastated by the debt crisis of the 1980s (Hag- gard & Kaufman, 1992), the UK and US financial sectors pressed forward with deregulation at home and expansion abroad, laying the basis for their joint domi- nation of global financial markets.

     summary: The dominance of the security paradigm can be seen in recent efforts to lock down a concept of climate security which can then be effectively mobilised by policymakers, extending its reach from environmental and migration discourse into climate change. Marie Julia Trombetta recognises the difficulty of implementing climate security, arguing that its complexity arises in the paradoxical need to both transform and protect “the existing economic structure and way of life” (Trombetta, 2008, p. 591).

     summary: Despite the attention to the state and its institutions, financial globalization is still conceptualized as the ‘disembedding’ of financial markets from their erstwhile ‘embedded liberal’ institutional environment and the resulting imposition of market discipline on public and private actors (e.g. Helleiner, 1994; Best, 2003; Ruggie, 2007). One of the central theo- retical points of critical IPE has been the role of the state in fostering the globalization of financial markets.

     summary: Considering the brashness of Prime Minister Harper’s newfound Conservative majority, and the coor- dinated responses of the capitalist class, it is conceivable that the worst for Federal public service workers (and the users of those services) is yet to come. While striking PSAC workers in Local 70396 were certainly not, on the whole, anti-capitalist in their aims and efforts, important seeds were revealed in the strike toward a turn to class-struggle unionism.

     summary: A number of attempts have been made in recent years to launch new parties and processes, addressing a broad left or popular constitu- ency, that are programmatically anti-neoliberal if not anti-capitalist, some of them self-identifying as part of an international effort to create a “socialism of the 21st century.” Sporadic attempts were made in the 1980s to build new parties of the left, but without lasting success.

     summary: In their article on “movement-relevant theory,” Doug Bevington and Chris Dixon (2005) note that just as few activists read social movement theory, important debates inside move- ment networks often do not enter the scholarly literature about social movements. The dominant strands On Knowledge Production, Learning and Research in Struggle | 179 of social movement theory tend to be reductionist, Eurocentric, and disconnected from the social movements and organizations that are the objects of its study.

     summary: Your research indicates that due to this gendered division of labour in health care women are the primary health care providers in Canada, yet women hold very little decision making power when it comes to policy. The best defence of public health care is popular support and we need to mobilize that support more than ever because we are facing a huge threat.

     summary: But if you look at the last decade, business got virtually everything it requested, but without much job creation. Like Moliere’s bourgeois gentlemen, who was unaware that he was speaking prose, economists have developed a culture in which they communicate without any recognition of how much they have internalized the distorted perspective of a capitalist system.

     summary: However, as the project progressed it became clear that I simply could not present the dystopian vision and argument without engaging with potential strategies for dealing with the problems With respect to many of the dystopia thesis’s individual compo- nents, many people have provided far gloomier assessments than I. I tended to be rather cautious with predictions of catastrophe and apocalypse. But if the harsh reality stands in contrast to utopian vision there is something rather pathetic about the vision as well.

     summary: In this sense, the political sphere, operates within this form of consciousness as the content (the materiality of the right to equal opportunity) when in fact it is nothing more than the symptom (one could use the word abstraction) of actual existing social relations that are in fact unequal. For Žižek, the point of this comparison of the different class rela- tions attached to symptom and fetishism seems to be this: the permis- sive-cynical subject is the easier of the class positions to mobilize because the form of the subjects ideological belief (i.e equality) can be recognized to be rooted in its content (i.e unequal relations) and as such the subject can simply integrate the content further into the form (i.e we will not be equal politically until we transform our economic relations therefore, let’s change economic relations).

     summary: Their central target is industrial capitalism and its derivative effects, namely, the unsustainable social habits of consumer forces associated with capitalist production, and the unprecedented levels of ecological destruction associated with accumulative capitalism. His innovative and up-to-date approach placed politicized ecological questions into direct focus, to ask, how might we incorporate the earth into the balance sheet? Building upon past theoretical approaches and contributions, in The Ecological Rift: Capitalism’s War on the Earth (2010), Foster, Clark and York offer a radical and comprehensive critique of the plan- etary environmental crisis as exacerbated by industrial capitalism.

     summary: When systematic violence is carried out by US clients—such as Indo- nesia in East Timor from 1975-1999, Israel in the Gaza Strip and West Bank from 1967 to the present, or Rwanda and Uganda in Congo—they are viewed by the US political establishment as Benign and not worthy of condemnation. The Politics of Genocide has done much to emphasize the biases and contradictions of US foreign policy, but it should be read in conjunction with other theoretical contributions to themes related to genocide, impe- rialism and international law.

     summary: With the bankruptcy of neoliberal economic policies, it is difficult to reach any other conclusion except that the Conservative govern- ment is continuing to aggressively implement neoliberal policies for political reasons: to expand the power of capital and to weaken the power of labour in a continued class war. While neoliberal economic policies are being increasingly questioned and abandoned by economists, politicians – including Canada’s Con- servative federal government – continue to implement them for purely political and ideological reasons: to further concentrate economic and political power among the owners of capital and to weaken the power of labour.

     summary: So far this alternative account of union bureaucracy has said almost nothing about union officials. These examples, which are simply meant to give a sense of some of the ways that bureau- cracy can be manifested within union organizations, suggest just how much is missed when a theory of union bureaucracy focuses solely or mainly on union full-time officers and staff.

     summary: Political Marxism is far more conscious of the specifici- ties of capitalism, and so it can shed more light on how capitalism operates today, why it does what it does, why its crises take the form that they do, and what the possibilities are for the future – though I’d hesitate to call the approach ‘capital-centric’, if only because of its Social Property Relations in the 21st Century | 163 usefulness in identifying the specificity of other social forms too, not just capitalism. If you want to understand the relations between capitalism and, say, race, gender, or slavery, you obviously need to understand what makes capitalism distinct from other social forms, what generates its very specific operating principles and the distinctive historical dynamic that it has set in motion.

     summary: This emergence of new capitals and new forms of production pro- vides a basis for a structural crisis — in other words, a crisis which is the result of the changing structure of capital. By fictitious capital, we mean the capital invested in various vehicles which, while linked ulti- mately to the fortunes of real capital within the spheres of production and circulation, takes on a life of its own.

     summary: This insight certainly provides some purchase on contemporary neoliberalization patterns in cities—but insofar as such property markets are also, today, tightly connected to global financial markets and instabilities, they certainly no longer provide the kind of “safe haven” from crisis tendencies that they appeared to offer during previous rounds of economic crisis. According to this idea, in a time of crisis, capital floods into the built environment as a potentially safe refuge – so urban property markets may experience particularly intense investment pressures precisely under conditions of industrial decline.

The main contribution of this book is that it highlights how, even in a hostile neoliberal capitalist climate, successes of varying degrees are experienced within the processes of working on social justice issues and that important work is being done on a day-to-day basis in this regard.

     summary: Industrialization from above though did not have a sufficiently profound impact on rural Quebec society until well into the second decade of the twentieth century. We can summarize that from 1891 to 1921 over 1 1/4 million French Canadians emigrated to the U.S.A. The lack of sophistication in these statistics due to the fact that neither the Canadian nor the American government kept accurate emigration records still does not erase the trend that a remarkable number of French Canadians left Quebec during the decades from 1880 to 1920.

     summary: Despite the fond hopes of some of the structural theorists cited here, attempts at measuring structural (occupational) trends also lend support to the interp retation that the progression of industrialism has not resulted in increased mobility—as for example is shown by Natalie Rogoff's 1953 finding that when changes in the occupational structure were standardized out, a major factor in mobility changes between 1910 and 1940 was accounted for (cited in Koore, 19o6: 1^0). THE MEANING OF MOBILITY The theory of social mobility, Goldhaner informs us in the INTER- NATIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA 0?

As Bettelheim puts it the development of the productive forces in every country is to some extent conditioned by world production relations.

     summary: On the one hand, domestic labour is necessary labour because the commodities of capital require 1W additional labour (i.e., housework) before consumption. Domestic labour thus creates value because all labour produees value when it produces any part of a commodity that achieves equivalence in the market place with other commodities (Seccombe, 1973'9)- Domestic labour helps produce and reproduce labour power as a commodity.

     summary: Such a work is Harry Braverman's Labor and Monopoly Capital and it is for this reason that Braverman's analysis of the degradation of work in the twentieth century was selected as the topic for a special symposium held at Carleton Univer- sity in the fall of 1977, a summary of which appears in the following pages. In agreeing to prepare this paper for the symposium, Burawoy accepted the difficult and challenging task of critiquing Braverman from within the perspective of Marxist analysis.

     summary: Most of this compilation of materials - studies of work, labour force statistics and other things - we knew before. Many of the things said about the degradation of work, or the character of work, have been criticized through various art forms, if not sociology, and certainly Taylorism has been subject to ridicule for a very long time.

     summary: Then, adding that the impetus to technological change can also come from class struggle (i.e: successful wage claims which render labour saving machinery profitable), suggests that Taylorism, by intensifying class struggles, spurred the technical- scientific revolution which led to monopoly capitalism. Now, it is important not to deny the control that workers exercise both over the method of performing their tasks and the pace at which it is performed, but to see Taylorism only as the specification of task performance as Burawoy does, is to misconceive, I think, what Taylorism and scientific management were all about.

     summary: [Taylor 1945, p. 160] The Bethmann conscience that helped shape Max Weber's Germany is precisely what Weber advocates and encourages as he develops his sociology. Thus, through a process of substitution, bureaucracy rather than capitalism, the development of independent political leadership rather than the fact that one class profits by the labor of another, becomes the central problem of the German socio-economic order (see Cohen 1972 and Wright 1974-75) Scientist Weber provides citizen Weber with a solution to this problem, the leader with charisma.

     summary: MATURE MARX: THE CASE AGAINST AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL BREAK by Jan Mayer The philosophers have only INTERPRETED the world differently, the point is, to CHANGE it - 1 This quotation, taken along with Marx's other theses on Feuerbach, such as his critique of contemplative materialism as stopping at isolated man or human essence conceived of outside the aggregate of social relations and objective activity, sums up his attitude to idealist philosophy in general, as well as his dissatisfaction with Feuerbach 's anthropological humanism. In his early usage, Marx corrected Hegel by making history march on its feet instead of in the airy realm of Pure Reason; his principal concern was with the contradiction between bourgeoisie and proletariat and the way in which modes of production develop historically through the conflictual supercession of previous forms and social relations.

The logical theory of probability is not in use in the social sciences, Unsuccessful attempts have been made to formulate social probability along the lines of the logical theory.

     summary: However, the only answer that Offe provides rests upon the assumption of functional necessity and thus the analysis of system relations becomes teleological. Returning now to Offe's argument regarding system relations, we see that he cannot proceed from an analysis of production as his approach to the economic system expunges production and replaces it with a flawed analysis of the commodity, an analysis which is then incorporated into the functional logic of system relations.

     summary: 94 However, as Mattick points out, there are serious problems inherent in the multiplier concept, which, in the final analysis, are rooted in the nature of state intervention and state spending within a capitalist economy. For this reason, it is no longer possible to speak of vital areas and processes which fall outside of this near pervasive blanket of state intervention.

     summary: for bourgeois culture was supplanted with a new reverence for working class culture (heavily inspired by Hoggart) that amounts to a kind of perverse elitism. Willis, for example, acknowledges that trade unions are by far the most important working lcass institution, and Sparks notes that this acknowledgement alone marks an important advance for an institution which, while dedicated to the study of working class culture has not, as yet , produced any major study, either theoretical or empirical, of the trade union movement (1977: 27-28).

What this evidence suggests is that, if a question on sexual harassment were asked of all employed women, there would probably be an overwhelmingly negative response because of the way women perceive and respond to advances and because many women are segregated into jobs where there are few men to do the harassing.

The resolution of these two oedipal dramas will determine the biological maturation of the child and its subsequent entry into 'human' society through the incorporation of the parents' social standards.

     summary: 7. Implications for Recruitment of Political Cadres: The recruitment of indigenous cadres through appeals to Moslem women is useful not only in expanding party influence but also in their serving as prefigurative models of the role of women in the new society. Certainly, one must recognize the genuine role of mass parties in socialist states, but these are parties which are distinguished by their pyramidal structures, with an extreme concentration of power at the top of the pyramid (Miliband, 1977:115).

Pressure groups, or public-interest groups as they are often called, are organizations whose members act together to influence public policy in order to promote their common interest (Pross, 1975:2).

     summary: The social structure that emerged, the restructured nature of relationships between Indian women and men, the form of colonialism that developed and the nature and form of the state that emerged within the fur trade, all were dependent upon the mode of extraction of the surplus labour (Marx, 1977b: 791; Marx, 1977a:209). Its intent is to reflect upon the way in which Indian women were in fact conquered and drawn into a class society and how male domination assumed a form that did not exist before the penetration of capitalism.

     summary: The ability to acquire Chinese workers at such low rates - 9 - of pay was premised on the historically lower subsistence level of Asian peasants in comparison to Europeans, the fact that the reproduction costs of Chinese labour were borne in China rather than in Canada, the system of contract labour to hire Chinese workers and, equally as important, the political inferiority accorded Asian immigrants by Canadian immigration policies. In the sawmills, Chinese labour earned between SI and S1.50 per day, the Japanese earned between 90 cents and $1.25, while unskilled white wages started at $2 and went up to $4.50 per day for skilled white labour (Royal Commission, 1902 : 101-124,360-365) .

This paper will argue, on the contrary, that nationalism within relatively homogeneous societies is expressed as well as appropriated by various class interests under the pervasiveness of a complex hegemony.

     summary: Characterizing the phenomenon In discussing capitalist production by seigneurs, most authors have been content to deal with Joliette and, occasionally, Joseph Masson. For Mears and McGill, as for Edouard Scallon, a partner of Joliette whose access to Lavaltrie's productive possibilities always required payment to Joliette or his widow, 38 the use of seigneurial privilege was an essential part of their institution of capitalist production.

     summary: Indian women cannot share the same strategies used by white women because of their eco-centric world-view. After ten years of experience working alternatively with white women's centres (Rape Crisis etc.) and working on Reserves with Indian women, I felt a strong urgency to address the inherent incompatability between the white women's feminist movement and the unique position (i.e. subjugation) of Indian women.

     summary: Certainly the present 32 conjuncture presents Canadian labour with the opportunity of coalescing with other popular sectors and small business in opposition to the pe r lphe ral 1 zat ion of the centre. Panitch, noting recent events such as the Canad iani zat ion of the United Auto Workers, suggests that Canadian labour as a whole is confronted with the opportunity of overcoming its regionally- and sectorally-div ided past.

The military power of the imperialist nations also created an unequal political relationship which meant that the foreign powers were able to regulate the flow of Chinese labour.

     summary: Obviously, poor women benefited more than other women, although needless to say, women formed more than 60 percent of the poorest Nicaraguans (Idem). Women whose husbands are closely tied to these relations do not represent a problem (repression of sexuality in Gramsci refers only to male sexuality), while women whose husbands are millionaires are luxury mammals and can afford behaving like prostitutes as a way of entertainment.

     summary: In fishing communities, the focus of this paper, women contribute to the family economy through a variety of productive strategies including subsistence production, the informal economy and waged labour (Connelly and MacDonald, 1983:46), yet women's work has consistently been devalued, undervalued or simply ignored by both the scholarly and broader community (Porter, 1987:48). Unfortunately, as the authors are well aware, the material is practically devoid of the presence of women and women's experience except where they are mentioned in a sexist and derogatory way.

     summary: Canon-formation is an intrinsically conservative process (Scobie, 1991 :57), and the tendency to resist change is greatest in national canons, as they function to define a national literature in turn tied to the sense of nationhood. While those who control the U.S. scene may seem small in number, in Canada it amounts to little more than university teachers of English who profess some degree of interest in Canadian literature.

     summary: In overview, Collins' rejection of Canadian nationalism (or assumptions thereof) is the basis of his rejection of policy objectives to support cultural identity through a national broadcasting system. The few espousing the rhetoric of Canadian nationalism are merely those who stand in the way of the inevitable world of international competition (xvi, 28, 349).

If WEC women were designing the forms, we would assume that if last year a number ofwomen wanted to talk about incest, rape, violaice, poverty, unemployment, etc., there would also be women this year with the same concerns.

     summary: Originally intoided to overcome the perceived impasse betweai 'culturalist' and 'struc- turalist' approadies in British cultural studies, the incorporation ofGramsci 's notion of 'hegemony'—a state ofmoral, cultural and political leadership that is actively won and not simply imposed upon subordinate social groups — offered the discipline a less mechanistic and monolithic view ofthe ideologi- cal domination of a ruling class or bloc. In British cultural studies, the turn to Gramsci signalled a profound shift in thinking.

     summary: The first phase of my argument is explicative and consists chiefly in an overview of Adorno and Derrida at the level of method. Finally, both are substantially influenced by Husserl in the critical development of thinking about the contradictions implied by the western philosophical project, hi Derrida's case, however, the grounds for arriving at the claim for contradiction are substantially different from those arrived at by Adorno.

     summary: Among these speculations, lesbians may have particular concerns for their community's external and internal image, resist challenges to their notion ofa 'lesbian Utopia' and their gendered analyses of partner abuse, and may be uncertain how to act on the problem of lesbian partner abuse. Concern for the external solidarity ofthe community, for example, may particularly silence abused lesbians. My research project will contribute evidence on how traditions of silence on lesbian partner abuse are uniquely shaped, and broaden the existing indi- vidual-social paradigm of same-sex partner abuse to include the level of lesbian communities.

       words: 7376
      flesch: 45
     summary: In representing non-western cultures as existing in the past, and in reducing their cultural products to signifiers of exoti- cism, western designers are in fact dehistoricising and decontexualizing the communities whose products have inspired the various elements of different ethnic fashion collections. Clearly, the in- fluence of ethnic fashion is limited by its structural location within the larger systems of meaning-making which serve to £$% produce and reproduce our cultural understandings of ethnic and cultural differences.

How do definitions of endometriosis patients constructed via these two codifications compare with the ways in which endometriosis patients are de- fined within patient movements?

     summary: Additionally, Bookchin's claim that, during the heyday of social anarchism, individualists exercised hardly any influence, is undermined if one considers only the case of Emma Goldman who Bookchin himself identifies as an extreme individualist, a Nietzschean (8). It is precisely the novelty of contemporary anarchism which has prompted the writing of Bookchin's text.

     summary: The only thing essentially distinguishing the Is- lamic world's nationalism (by the use of the term nationalism in this context, Gellner presumably means Islamic fundamen- talism) from European nationalism is the lack of severance be- tween faith and culture. The understanding that nationalism is a modern phenomenon which is not present in the two previous stages is contextualised within Gellner's conjectural (though reasoned) history of humankind, as presented in his Plough, Sword, and Book: The Structure ofHuman History (1988).

     summary: I propose a few conclusions regarding the utility of the 'global civil society hypothesis' and TSMO Volume 15, 1999 23 Alternate Routes theory generally: These analyses tell us much about the evolving organi- zational and political dynamics of human rights social movements and convey justified optimism regarding the continued political importance of TSMO actors in human rights politics. Therefore, following on these definitions, this paper investigates the impacts on human rights movements of specifically transnational politi- cal processes.

Women organized informal networks of shel- ters and safe houses for women in crisis and their children.

     summary: Sexual assault is multidimensional in nature: the victims of sexual assault include people who are married, single, widowed, and dating (e.g., Allison and Wrightsman, 1993; Stets and Straus, 1989); defini- tions of sexually coercive acts are broad ranging (e.g., DeKeseredy and Hinch, 1991; Schwartz, 1997); the effects of sexual assault (Arata and Burkhart, 1996; Koss, 1985) vary as much as the characteristics of the perpetrators (e.g., Malamuth and Dean, 1991; Rapaport and Posey, 1991). As sexual coercion researchers interested in the dynamics of male youth and sexual assault, the research agenda is twofold: i) to determine the extent of ado- lescents victimized by male sexual aggression, and ii) theoretical devel- opments must be made in order to better reflect adolescent experience with sexual aggression.

      flesch: 52
     summary: Though limited counter-research exists in the area, a 1989 study of fed- erally sentenced women in Canada, as part of the Federally Sentenced Women Initiative, concluded a 'type' of violent crime committed by women and a 'type' of female violent offender does not exist (Sugar and Fox. 1990). For example, normative sexuality ...helps to legitimate the ideology that women are dependent on men for their sexual and economic well-being, denigrates women's relationships with other women, and subjects them to continued domination by men (Messerschmidt, 1986:34).

For all intensive purposes, SM communities can be charac- terized by voluntary associations with others who share similar interests in sadomasochistic sexual consumption.

Moreover, given that the overwhelming majority of single parents are 'mothers', women have inevitably become the targets of blame for the emergence of such social ills.

     summary: It was a powerful image of nature and land, torn apart and reassembled as consumer goods, mecha- nised-electronic products, consumed and disposed of, to be reconstituted as new industrial nature, building on the cities that spawned them. It is as unsatisfying and alienating as it is deadening, leaving the consumer empty and craving for more consumption in the hope of fulfillment, enmeshing them in a neverending maze that dissipates any resistance which they might have been capable of.

Urbaclr Abstract Inspired by the crack cocaine epidemic of the mid-1980s, the United States Congress passed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, legislation that provided harsh new penalties for violations involving crack cocaine. This is a curious distinction given the similarities between crack cocaine and cocaine hydrochloride, the powder form of the drug from which crack is derived.

       title: A Structured Anarchism by John Griffin
        date: 2013-11-01
       words: 1171
      flesch: 45
     summary: Griffin's analysis of the market and money as aspects of unconscious drives and authoritarian compulsions, rather than as outcomes of real practices of accumulation and competitive social relations is neither con- vincing nor particularly insightful in terms of helping us to overcome those relations. (One story I've heard tells of the anarchists of the Munich Soviet of 1919 chasing Weber out of town before he could give a speech.) Unfortunately, rather than exploring the engagement between anar- chists and sociologists and the debates between them (which along with anarchist theory have been written out of sociological history), Griffin wastes this chapter on a rather unconvincing criticism of Marx's analysis of class.

     summary: White definitions of Black bodies and of Black ways of being—i.e., oversexed, diseased, subhuman, inferior— continue to be mass-pro- duced in images and re-internalised in popular culture. Certain contemporary portrayals of Black female deities which visually magnify the naked body conjure images of Black women from the Trans-Atlantic period.

Although comprehensive studies in the United States have begun to ask why self-interest is the most common logic currently drawn on to make sense of volunteer work (Eliasoph. 1998; Wuthnow. 1991).

I argue that his adher- ence to the analytic of finitude as the framework for modem thought and the constitution of modem subjects enables Foucault to develop a philos- ophy of modem subjects as constituted along the axis of power, ethics and truth.

     summary: That music is a form of regression, that this regression is the state within which reification occurs, suggests that Adorno's insights into popular music were contingent upon the intentional use of nostalgia in popular music production from the beginnings of the music industry. There is perhaps nobody in the history of music studies who considered popular music as blatantly ideological as Adorno or who scrutinized with such cynicism.

     summary: There is also potential for performativity theory to be applied to men- tal disorders, such as 'dissociative identity disorder' (DID) and 'border- line personality disorder' (BPD), both of which rest on the assumption that the 'normal' self is a unified, coherent and singular being. Queering 'Mental Illness?

Castree's third way is to look at heterogeneity within value theory through a kind of incision made by Spivak.

     summary: Ch'ol speakers may not recognize Spanish loanwords as having Spanish origin; instead, they may consider these words to be Ch'ol words as a result of their assimilation and integration into the native Ch'ol lexicon. I gathered data through ethno- graphic research and recorded interviews that enabled me to analyze lan- guage interference, both generally and specifically, in the speech of a diverse sample of Ch'ol speakers.

     summary: When it comes to the science of anthropogenic climate change, like evolution, the debate is over: It is no longer a matter of debate whether or not human activity is influencing climate change, but the speed and scope of such change and its potential consequences for all life systems. Despite the conservatism, however, 2013 IPCC co-chair Thomas F. Stocker made clear that “Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time...

     summary: From the above analysis it would seem that neoliberal states are largely incapable of genuinely altering existing relations of mobility. Neoliberal states may have a willingness to reduce the socio-ecological impacts of transportation, but this is continually trumped by an unwillingness to intervene in the processes of economic growth.

      flesch: 42
     summary: This situation represents not only a significant obstacle for doing social sciences research on climate change responses, but the slow imple- mentation of those measures in the region also suggests that the Pantanal wetland and the UPRB remain relatively marginalised in the formulation of environmental policies and even in the environmental diplomacy between Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. That is the case of the Pantanal, a large tropical wetland located in the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB), in the centre of South America, where a range of responses are being devised to cope with the negative impacts of climate change.

     summary: We can see the effects of global climate change beginning to emerge in unusual weather patterns and the increased frequency of hurricanes, droughts and floods. Soil organic carbon has a potential rate of sequestration of up to 3 billion tons of carbon per year (Fairlie, 2012, p.1).Finally, it must be observed that Brazil’s cattle raising and beef export industry has expanded dramatically in recent years (see Figures 3 and 4 below) and thus is another significant Brazilian factor that is increasingly contributing to global climate change.

Equally, if I want to include epidemiological aspects to urban landscapes or appreciate the wider scientific context for protecting urban bio-diversity I need to examine those fields carefully before attempting to combine aspects of the bio-physical sciences with a historically and geographically nuanced approach to the analysis of the production of urban space.

     summary: Otherwise, they are all very dif- ferent, and herein lies Federici’s most crucial contribution to the discussion of revolutionary subjects and subjectivities, most clearly articulated in the 2008 essay, “The Reproduction of Labor Power in the Global Economy and the Unfinished Feminist Revolution,” quoted above: By dismantling Marxist claims that capitalism has a progressive character (p.92) Federici frees us from the expectation that the revolution must come “after” it. Reproductive labor is not just the book’s organizing theme; it emerges through the process of reading Federici’s essays in sequence as the political problem that manifestly joins what would oth- erwise appear to be very different historical conditions of struggle, from the Wages for Housework campaign in the ‘70s to the anti-globalization movements of the fin de siècle.

     summary: Of all the alienating effects school produces, none is more damaging to the formation of individual and collective agency than the belief that making oneself marketable to potential employers is both a primary duty of social life and a natural necessity. Educators take sides, but not for one party as against another in any narrow and dogmatic way, but against the attempts of ideological schooling to present social life as fixed, its hier- archies natural.

     summary: The importance of higher education for the restructuring process is hinted at the LHE, which defined the Council of Higher Education (Yükseköğretim Kurulu, YÖK) as a consti- tutional organ in 1981, when Turkey was still ruled by a military regime.6 In the official discourse, the Council was justified on the grounds that the increase in the number of university students called for a standardized educational policy and administration. This ar ticle focuses on the neoliberalization of higher education in Turkey.

This approach collapses the false dichotomy between union members and community members so that a union member’s interest extends beyond her immediate economic interests in good wages and working condi- tions, to include her wider interest in, for instance, affordable housing or quality public healthcare.

The attempts to colonize the arts as an extension of neoliberal public pedagogy and repression testi- fies to how cultural apparatuses have become increasingly responsible for the darkness that surrounds us.

     summary: DR: The key features of neoliberal education reform are 1) a heavy reliance on standardized testing; 2) a willingness to eliminate collective bargaining and tenure; 3) a hostility to public education as such; 4) a preference for privately managed charter schools; 5) support for attacks on the teaching profession, including hostility to tenure and profes- sionalism; 6) support for alternate routes into teaching like Teach for America, whose recruits have only five weeks of training and typically leave after 2-3 years in the classroom. How is public education currently funded under these programs? DR: The privatization movement began with economist Milton Fried- man’s proposal for vouchers in 1955.

     summary: In fact, Canadian studies of Black university students (Gosine, 2008; James and Taylor, 2008) show that their educational aspirations were motivated by their sense of obligation to their immigrant parents and their desire to “give back” to their (Black) community. In fact, as Trevor said, “all of the Black students in the school were on the sports team, whether it was basketball, volleyball, or track and field”4 and some of them were in special education classes “for behavioural or academic reasons” – classes in which Black students tend to be over-represented (see Toronto District School Board, 2010).

     summary: International students pay about $12,000/year tuition to attend BC public schools, which is about twice as much as the provincial grant for Canadian students in public schools; Public school districts are now allowed to create private, for-profit business companies to set up overseas schools staffed by BC certified teachers teaching the BC provincial curriculum as a way to make up for inadequate govern- ment funding; Inadequate funding from the province has pushed local parent groups into more and more fundraising and made schools more vulnerable to corporate incursions, which include advertising and corporate-branded private grants to support core curricular as well as extra-curricular school activities. He has published more than 20 books and over 200 articles, book chapters, essays, and reviews on curriculum studies, social studies education, teacher education, and critical pedagogy.

The second part of the book examines why, when, and how education has come to dominate discussions about “opportunity, prosperity and poverty in American life” (21), as well as alternative ways Americans once imag- ined they could advance in society (e.g. through collective struggle and a more expansive welfare state) has been pushed out of public policy debates.

     summary: Marx, Braverman, Reserve Army of Labor, Precarious, Precariat In the last decade and a half the concept of worker precariousness has gained renewed currency among social scientists (e.g. Barbier, 2004; Vosko, 2000; Fudge and Owens, 2006). Most investigators define worker precariousness by reference to what workers lack: access to work; protection from arbitrary firing; possibility for advancement; long- term employment; adequate safety; development of new skills; adequate income; and union representation (see Standing, 2011, 10).

     summary: To improve the wages of low-wage workers, members of unions, community groups, activists, and support coalitions have launched living wage campaigns in cities in the USA, UK and, more recently, Canada. A review of the literature shows that living wage campaigns have not been very successful in achieving their broad goals while at the same time protecting low-waged illegalized migrant workers.

     summary: Precarious informal work: those who work informal jobs (self­ employment or cash work) and report they ’cannot make ends meet’ each month; and, c. Workplace violations: those who work full­time but where at least one employment standard was not being met.9 The survey of this East Toronto enclave uncovered evidence that a large proportion of this population was struggling to make ends meet and working in precarious, insecure work. Again, ethnicity and English proficiency level appear to be driving the dependent variable of insufficient employment and involvement in precarious informal work, though only English language level appears to be driving the existence of workplace violations for those with full­time jobs.

     summary: The first finding is related to the erosion of state infrastructure: There is a lack of supports for unemployed women workers, and they also face difficulties owing to a lack of supports extended through social programs and supports in the areas of health care, childcare, retraining, and reentering the labour market. Dr. Nichols' research focuses on the social conditions of women in Canadian society through feminist theory and methods, with a focus on women workers in Canada.

     summary: But just as the one-sided rendering of “role model” precariats as hyper- exploited risk a “sense that there is no way out,” overlook the capacity of workers to collectively “contest” and “resist,” and gloss over “countervailing possibilities” (de Peuter, 2014, 365), stock descriptions of reality TV workers as dupes or pawns fail to address how these workers possess the collective capacities for understanding and changing their circumstances, possibly for the better. So, there is an emerging international effort to unionize reality TV workers, and some small victories.

     summary: Yet, as a growing body of critical social policy scholarship demonstrates, the adoption of NPM, as well as activation measures, can also be viewed as attempts to discipline managers, service providers, and clients’ conduct in ways consistent with neoliberal rationalities (Brodkin 2011; Soss et al. 2011). These effects include work intensification for service providers; reconfiguration of the relation between service providers, funders, and clients; and heightened insecurity for service providers and service users.

     summary: In 2010 PB Chicago was formed, and by 2016 the process had expanded to $6.2 million dollars of infrastructure funding in seven different wards. In addition, although many volunteers with the PB process had pre-existing connections to the aldermanic office, some residents reported in interviews becoming more comfortable and knowledgeable about contacting the alderman’s office, findings that are also supported by survey data collected by PB Chicago (Crum et al. 2013).

     summary: While the development of social rights in the twentieth century ameliorated to some extent (in the wealthiest capitalist countries) the gross deprivations of the Industrial Revolution and Victorian capitalism, they do not contest the dynamics of the capitalist system as a whole, its prioritization of private profit of comprehensive and universal need satisfaction, or legitimate the mobilization of oppressed and exploited and alienated themselves to transform the structures that cause systematic need-deprivation in the first place (Wood 2002: 130-1). The report criticised Canada for the “absence of a national housing strategy; inadequate housing subsidy within the social assistance benefit; shortage of social housing units; increased evictions related to rental arrears; increased numbers of homeless and lack of homelessness prevention; shortage of emergency 150 | Austerity Urbanism and the Social Economy shelters; laws that penalize people for being homeless; lack of adequate housing for people with psycho-social and intellectual disabilities; and the poor housing conditions of Canada’s indigenous peoples” (Monsebraaten 2016).

     summary: In Toronto austerity as common sense shapes one approach to conceptualizing decline in high-rise suburbs and a very particular approach to their renewal. The amalgamation of seven municipal governments that created a new City of Toronto on January 1, 1998 was considered by many as an attack on the pre-amalgamation City of Toronto Council which had been a vocal opponent of the provincial government’s neoliberal “revolution” and a champion of social democratic urban policy.

     summary: What Negri suggests—and this is the leap that his reading of the strike makes—is that the immaterial and interactive character of the labour performed in the service sector constitutes the global form of an increasingly interactive and even democratic form of production in a post- industrial or post-Fordist environment. In starting from the dual position that ‘blocking the circulation of commodities has been fundamental in the history of working-class insurgency’ and that ‘the sphere of circulation is no longer simply one movement in the total process of capitalist valourization, but the global form structures production itself,’ Negri argues that to confront capital in the sphere of circulation is to strike the metropolis—that fundamental vector of contemporary struggles ‘where life and work tend to pass over one another.’

Nagle might have better conceptualized the alt-right’s style as “pseudo-transgressive,” or, a superficially rebellious and resistant style that is substantively intertwined with the system in dominance that is capitalism and compliant with social class power.

     summary: Marcelle Burns (Kamilaroi) interrogates the foundational work of Hugo Grotius and Francisco de Vitoria on the concept of society in the context of their contributions to shape an (Eurocentric) international legal order, and its use as a tool to exclude Indigenous Peoples from recognition as sovereign subjects within state regimes and international law. This is a timely collection which makes a substantive, significant contribution to move thinking beyond understandings of rights that are imprisoned in a taken-for-granted framework of liberalism and colonialism (see also D’Souza, 2018, on this) and assimilationist models developed by colonial states like Australia, Canada and others to accommodate claims for ‘recognition’ and ‘equality’ of Indigenous Peoples’ rights.

     summary: Here, the authors locate unpaid work historically by considering the direct physical force that underlies slavery and work within total institutions, and then analyze the contemporary subtle, indirect pressures exercised by hegemonic ideologies to sustain unpaid internships and unremunerated working days. Secondly, we argue that unpaid work is expanding in the current historical/economic context.

     summary: For senior immigrants, income divergence tends to be most distinct among recent immigrants, disabled immigrants, older immigrants who arrived as seniors, and female migrants who live alone (Dalgleish, 2008; Preston, Kim, Mandell et al., 2013).6 Racialization shapes the economic security of senior immigrants (Preston et al., 2014, 2013).

     summary: We make the case for a program of critical studies devoted to analyzing the features, sources, institutional carriers and uses of the concept of global citizenship as neoliberal propaganda serving to mystify young people’s understanding of their place in the world. (UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, 2012) “Education for global citizenship helps enable young people to develop the core competencies which allow them to actively engage with the world, and help to make it a more just and sustainable place.”

     summary: Whereas public sector union density has stayed relatively consistent from the mid-1980s to early-2000s, hovering around 72 percent, total Canadian private sector density fell from 26 percent to just over 18 percent. The result has been declining union density in most industrialized countries.

     summary: In contrast, beginning in the 1970s, neoclassical ‘intersubjective understandings’ of inflationary crises were caused by the failure of state policies so that they could only plausibly be dealt with through fiscal and monetary austerity (Widmaier, 2007, 47-49; 2004; 2003). Ideas concerning public policy and management, as the basic building blocks of knowledge and expertise, no matter 14 | Austerity and the Precarization of Everyday Life how anodyne and antiseptic the packaging, are anything but technical and apolitical.

     summary: This requires finding out, to use a Blairist turn of phrase, ‘what works’; to push for new ways of thinking about social problems, to use the market in creative ways to fund and find solutions, and to approach social policy solutions in a pragmatic apolitical fashion. While SILs theoretically open up interesting possibilities regarding participatory policymaking and the involvement of grassroots civil society, the question is whether SILs address issues of values and power that lie at the root of wicked social policy problems (Rittel & Webber, 1973).

Based on the nature of their representation in this policy process, we explore the degree to which millennials are a serious consideration of labour policy, and as such, if they are viewed as a group deserving of this attention.

     summary: Pages: 1-98. Reviewed by Barret Weber1 For decades, political theorist Chantal Mouffe led efforts to outline a theory of politics capable of coming to terms with on-the-ground struggles generally referred to as New Social Movements. According to Mouffe and Laclau, a deepened and radicalized concept of hegemony was needed to bring about a new “ontology of the social,” which the authors thought was needed to escape problems they diagnosed in the canons of Marxism that reified social class as the a priori category of social and political analysis, as well as the regrettable conversion of social democracy to neoliberalism under “the third way” and New Labour.

Corbyn’s Labour combined both, and proposals for social ownership discussed in this chapter see ownership of production and equality of distribution as linked.

     summary: Social movement studies explained the emerging transnational social movement organisations, global protests, and cosmopolitan framing as triggered by economic, social, political, and cultural globalisation. In sum, the Global Justice Movement influenced the anti-austerity protests through the development of collective memory (Daphi and Zamponi 2014; della Porta et al 2018) and, filtered from the latter, also impacted on the most recent wave of global protests against social and political inequalities.

     summary: The evidence presented will thus reveal how the Canadian state undertook this transition towards housing policies marked by neoliberalism and financialization, as well as explain why the state in Canada was so susceptible to the influence of neoliberal ideas predicated on removing barriers to capital accumulation (i.e. privatizing public assets, removal of bureaucratic rules and oversight that impede the business class). Importantly, the evidence provided does not suggest housing policy was necessarily more effective during the welfare state-era at tackling the housing access and affordability problems experienced by the working class and by income poor families overall.

     summary: While scholars have provided valuable insight into how different organizations – including unions – have united behind living wage campaigns, there have been few detailed studies of just what labour leaders think about the living wage, especially in Canada. It reveals strong support for living wage campaigns and a belief that they should be a high priority for the labour movement.

     summary: I highlight the question of falling behind and/or failing forward by tracing the failings of social policy and its impacts on Black bodies by conducting a cross-historical analysis of seventeenth-century South Africa, specifically travel diaries from European incursions and twentieth-century United States, specifically works of social policy. Beyond the everyday racism that Black bodies are subjected to, I argue that these discourses were used by the state to continue to manage them, therefore perpetuating the colonial project.

      flesch: 48
     summary: Drawing on recent empirical findings, this article argues that the advent of global English is fundamentally related to the massive presence of English as a mandatory subject in national public school-systems throughout the world. While Marxist historical materialist and other critical approaches provide thorough critiques of such mainstream approaches to ‘globalization,’ such analyses have been surprisingly silent on language politics, including global English (Ives, 2010; 2015).6 3 Language use is notoriously difficult to quantify, but by most estimates in the middle of the 20th century, about 250 million people used English on a daily basis, whereas by 2000, that number was over 1 billion and many estimate that now almost half the world’s population have significant command of English (see Crystal 2003, Graddol 2006).

      flesch: 32
     summary: “Caring”, the first chapter of The Robotic Imaginary, argues convincingly that A.I. and care labor – “a feminized and routinely undervalued form of labor” (31) – has always been (per Rhee) wrapped up in the history of A.I. Drawing on Joseph Weizenbaum’s Rogerian therapist A.I. named ELIZA, the character Helen in Richard Power’s novel Galatea 2.2, Samantha in the Spike Jonze film Her, and art installations featuring A.I., Rhee explores how Alan Turing’s foundational essay “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” sets the pace for care work to be a crucial part of A.I. labor (with care labour being an undervalued and unwaged one under capitalism). Rhee examines how in the 1990’s, a ‘turn’ towards emotions as a defining quality of the human experience (counter to the Enlightenment’s insistence on reason) arises in tandem with the development of machines who communicate with humans via emotional expression – termed ‘sociable robots’.

     summary: ‖ Twitter @ARjcsr 3 ALTERNATE ROUTES: A JOURNAL OF CRITICAL SOCIAL RESEARCH The rest of the chapter surveys the deepening of the link between productivity and prosperity with the goals of government policy to the point that, at least in government circles, there was no turning back. The chapter on the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, now Statistics Canada, is one example how gathering and disseminating data about economic activity can work at a subliminal level on a population; in Foster’s words, “the presumed link between productivity and prosperity permeates stories, theories, and conversations that do not, on surface, appear to have much to do with productivity at all” including those as disparate as shorter workdays and stand-up desks (89).

     summary: In his new book, Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire (2020), Halberstam tracks the rhetorical presence of those wild things from Sendak’s infamous children’s book as they manifest in contemporary and historical knowledge production and offer theoretical potential as anti-colonial and anti-heteronormative genealogical tools. In this vein, Wild Things represents Halberstam’s first book-length foray into what can be considered ecocriticism or queer ecologies.

     summary: The text raises the point that actually existing neoliberalism deforms its theoretical legacy, and revises Brown’s 2015 hit book by shifting from a macro-economic lens to a refined criticism of Hayekian neoliberalism. She argues that Hayekian neoliberalism destroys the social as a concept and reduces democratic political power, and that it replaces these two processes with a conflation of traditional morality and market freedoms.

Seymour doesn’t address silent users directly but does put an answer in front of us through his account of how the Twittering Machine “manages time differently” (65), counting the minutes, hours, or weeks since content was posted, rather than the clock time at which it was published.

     summary: While the book could have benefitted from a more nuanced, intersectional approach to unpacking neoliberal governmentality, Governing the Social provides a strong foundation in Foucault’s core ideas, concepts, and applications that may spur further critical analytical work and continue building the consciousness required to understand the consequences of power, privilege, and inspire everyday acts of resistance. Divided into three sections, Governing the Social features a wide array of case studies which illustrate how specific practices of neoliberal governmentality have shaped the West over the last four decades.

     summary: A second Poulantzian concept, state administration, distinguishes between the traditional understanding of public administration where the machinery of the state is seen to be fragmented, politically neutral and technocratic but subject to the dominance of an elected and representative legislature with the observation that the state is instead subject to an expanding concentration of state power in the hands of the executive arm. Thus, not only does the executive become the site for the elaboration of state policy, but it is also becomes the principal actor in this process.

     summary: More specifically, there should be positive associations between non-managerial employee classes and expressions of pro-labour oppositional class consciousness.

We also seek to identify opportunities for rebuilding worker power through a radical anti-capitalist politics attuned to cities in crisis.

     summary: Conventional and Conflictual Concepts of Class A conflictual concept of social class is crucial to understanding the daily struggles of people in precarity, thus this article deploys alternative concepts around class (Adorno, 2019; Bonefeld, 2002; Dinnerstein & Neary, 2002; Radice, 2015; Tischler, 2009) so as to articulate them in the contemporary scenario of precarious employment. The sociological study of precarity, in the sense of casualisation of employment linked to general social insecurity, has been connected with issues of social class almost from the outset (Paugam, 2000; Castel, 2003; Toscano, 2007; Standing, 2011).
