Higher education : handbook of theory and research

n today's fast changing and interconnected global world, researchers in a variety of areas have come to see identity as an important analytic tool for understanding schools and society. A focus on the contextually specific ways in which people act out and recognize identities allows a more dynamic approach than the sometimes overly general and static trio of "race, class, and gender." However, the term identity has taken on a great many different meanings in the literature. Rather than survey this large literature, I will sketch out but one approach that draws on one consistent strand of that literature. This is not to deny that other, equally useful approaches are possible, based on different selections from the literature.

Identity as an analytic lens for research in education

Every year, around the time of the meetings of the American Anthropological Association, the New York Times asks a Big Name anthropologist to contribute an op-ed piece on the state of the field. These pieces tend to take a rather gloomy view. A few years ago, for example, Marvin Harris suggested that anthropology was being taken over by mystics, religious fanatics, and California cultists; that the meetings were dominated by panels on shamanism, witchcraft, and “abnormal phenomena”; and that “scientific papers based on empirical studies” had been willfully excluded from the program (Harris 1978). More recently, in a more sober tone, Eric Wolf suggested that the field of anthropology is coming apart. The sub-fields (and sub-sub-fields) are increasingly pursuing their specialized interests, losing contact with each other and with the whole. There is no longer a shared discourse, a shared set of terms to which all practitioners address themselves, a shared language we all, however idiosyncratically, speak (Wolf 1980).

Essential guide to qualitative methods in organizational research

Until recently, economists have been reluctant to rely on culture as a possible determinant of economic phenomena. Much of this reluctance stems from the very notion of culture: it is so broad and the channels through which it can enter the economic discourse so ubiquitous (and vague) that it is difficult to design testable, refutable hypotheses. In recent years, however, better techniques and more data have made it possible to identify systematic differences in people's preferences and beliefs and to relate them to various measures of cultural legacy. These developments suggest an approach to introducing culturally-based explanations into economics that can be tested and may substantially enrich our understanding of economic phenomena. This paper summarizes this approach and its achievements so far, and outlines directions for future research.

Does culture affect economic outcomes

Americanismo e fordismo : quaderno 22

Notebook 24. § (1). The type of journalism considered in these notes is what could be called “integral” journalism (in the sense that will become increasingly clear in the course of the notes themselves) i.e., the kind of journalism that not only seeks to satisfy all the needs (of a certain category) of its public, but also seeks to create and develop these needs and therefore to rouse its public in order to progressively expand it. If one examines all existing forms of journalism or of publishing and editorial activity in general, it can be seen that each one of these presupposes other forces to integrate or to “mechanically” coordinate.

§36. Eddington's claim that “if in a human body we were to eliminate all the space without matter and to gather its protons and electrons in a single mass, man (his body) would be reduced to a corpuscle barely visible under a microscope” (cf. La Natura del Mondo Fisico, French edition, p. 20), has struck and moved G. A. Borgese's imagination (cf. his booklet). But what concretely is the meaning of Eddington's claim? If you reflect a little, it means exactly nothing, aside from its literal meaning. Even if the above described reduction were carried out (by whom?), even for the whole world, no relations would change and things would remain as they are.
