Imagined communities: Reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism

Our possessions are a major contributor to and reflection of our identities A variety of evidence is presented supporting this simple and compelling premise Related streams of research are identified and drawn upon in developing this concept and implications are derived for consumer behavior Because the construct of extended self involves consumer behavior rather than buyer behavior, it appears to be a much richer construct than previous formulations positing a relationship between self-concept and consumer brand choice

Phenomenology of perception.

We may not be able to make you love reading, but archaeology of knowledge will lead you to love reading starting from now. Book is the window to open the new world. The world that you want is in the better stage and level. World will always guide you to even the prestige stage of the life. You know, this is some of how reading will give you the kindness. In this case, more books you read more knowledge you know, but it can mean also the bore is full.

The relationship between citizenship, marriage and family has often been overlooked in the social and political theory of citizenship. Intimate domestic life is associated with the private sphere, partly because reproduction itself is thought to depend on the private choices of individuals. While feminist theory has challenged this division between private and public – ‘the personal is political’ – the absence of any systematic thinking about familial relations, reproduction and citizenship is puzzling. Citizenship is a juridical status that confers political rights such as the right to carry a passport or to vote in elections. However, from a sociological point of view, we need to understand the social foundations and consequences of citizenship – however narrowly defined in legal and political terms. This article starts by noting the obvious point that the majority of us inherit citizenship at birth and in a sense we do not choose to be ‘Vietnamese’ or ‘Malaysian’ or ‘Japanese’ citizens. Although natura...

Citizenship, reproduction and the state: international marriage and human rights

Entomology has considerable value in forensic investigations. Insect identifications can be used to establish the origin of illicit material such as cannabis (Joyce, 1984), or links between suspects and scenes of crime (Greenberg, 1985). Entomological data are often used to estimate the length of the post-mortem period. In favourable conditions, calliphorid flies may lay their eggs on a corpse within minutes of its death. Thus, by identifying the species and instar(s) of dipteran larvae and knowing the rate of development at particular temperatures, the time of death of a corpse may be inferred from its apparent post-mortem interval (Smith, 1986). Temperature records from local meteorological stations, or measured close to a corpse location, are likely to differ considerably from the temperatures actually experienced by fly larvae on or in the corpse (Greenberg, 1991; Turner, 1991). Several authors have shown that, as a corpse decays, the core temperature rises above ambient due to bacterial metabolic heat, e.g. in sheep (Deonier, 1940), in piglets (Payne, 1965) and in humans (Rodriguez & Bass, 1985). This note presents data showing that the temperatures experienced by summer populations of calliphorid larvae may be substantially higher than ambient, as mentioned by Deonier (1940), a point stressed by Greenberg (1991) but which has been ignored in most forensic entomology literature. Wild rabbits (Oryctolugus cunniculus L.), shot in the grounds of the King’s College Rogate Study Centre, West Sussex, were used as the corpses for study during July and August 1990. Freshly killed rabbits were placed individually in cages, made of 1 cm mesh chicken wire to protect them from large carnivores, and left to be colonized by egglaying Diptera: Calliphoridae. These were predominantly Calliphoru vomitoria L. together with some Lucilia spp. Temperature records were made 3-4 days after initial

Metabolic heat generation in dipteran larval aggregations: a consideration for forensic entomology.

In response to Sarah Irwin, the article develops a conflict model of inter-generational exchanges and treats generation as a neglected dimension of social stratification theory and research. Against Irwin's focus on individual attitudes from survey data towards intra-familial co-operation between generations, the article draws on public policy on dependency, legislation on retirement, superannuation and pensions, and stereotypes of the elderly to study inter-generational inequalities. Employing Pierre Bourdieu's distinction between cultural and economic capital, it considers the formation of generations around political events, shared culture and strategic advantage. Generational conflict is structurally organized around the tensions between early retirement, age-related competency, legislation on ageism, and youth unemployment. Given rapid and radical changes to the labour market, generational cohesion is an important dimension therefore of strategies of social closure.
