History and Class Consciousness. Studies in Marxist Dialectics

Recently, the study of gender has focused on processes by which gender is brought into social relations through interaction. This article explores implications of a two-sided dynamic—gendering practices and practicing of gender—for understanding gendering processes in formal organizations. Using stories from interviews and participant observation in multinational corporations, the author explores the practicing of gender at work. She defines practicing gender as a moving phenomenon that is done quickly, directionally (in time), and (often) nonreflexively; is informed (often) by liminal awareness; and is in concert with others. She notes how other conceptions of gender dynamics and practice inform the analysis and argues that adequate conceptualization (and potential elimination) of harmful aspects of gendering practices/practicing will require attention to (1) agency, intentionality, awareness, and reflexivity; (2) positions, power, and experience; and (3) choice, accountability, and audience. She calls f...

“Said and Done” Versus “Saying and Doing” Gendering Practices, Practicing Gender at Work

The authors present the Annual Oral Cancer Campaign of Araraquara promoted by the Oral Medicine Service of the Araraquara Dental School – UNESP. This campaign is an extension activity which, since its beginning, in 1993, has been expanding.The campaign provides background for teaching and research as well as benefits to the regional community. In 1999 this activity was conducted, for the first time, in a public fair visited daily for thousands people. This opportunity, which started in 1999, promoted the expansion of benefits and contributed to legitimate the campaign as an authentic extramural extension activity.

Development of local systems in various European countries is characterized by the strong increase of regionalism along with a greater flexibility in the distribution of normative competencies at different levels. Development is not uniform. In the beginning at least, these systems are shaped in accordance with a national rationale. However, the development of European integration, and the principle of subsidiarity, tend to standardize development and thereby challenge if not the nation-state, then its traditional way of functioning.

The End of the Nation-State

Do the dynamics of private capital accumulation inevitably lead to the concentration of wealth in ever fewer hands, as Karl Marx believed in the nineteenth century? Or do the balancing forces of growth, competition, and technological progress lead in later stages of development to reduced inequality and greater harmony among the classes, as Simon Kuznets thought in the twentieth century? What do we really know about how wealth and income have evolved since the eighteenth century, and what lessons can we derive from that knowledge for the century now underway? (p. 1)

Toward a Critical Theory of Capital in the 21st Century: Thomas Piketty between Adam Smith and the Prospect of Apocalypse:

Despite profound differences, both the German Historical School and the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School share a common theoretical and cultural heritage in Central European traditions of social thought and philosophy. Although both schools often are perceived as quintessentially German traditions of economic and social research, their methodological presuppositions and critical intent diverge strongly. Since the objective of the Frankfurt School was to carry the theoretical critique initiated by Marx into the twentieth century, and since its members did so on a highly abstract level of theoretical criticism, the suggestion may be surprising that in terms of their respective research agendas, there was a common denominator between the German Historical School and Frankfurt School Critical Theory. To be sure, as will become apparent, the common ground was rather tenuous and indirect. We must ask, then: in what respects did their theoretical and analytical foundations and orientations overlap? How did the German Historical School, as a nineteenth-century tradition of economic thinking, influence the development of the Frankfurt School?

Ecologically Unequal Exchange Environmental Injustice in Comparative and Historical Perspective

The end of World War II expanded the boundaries of democratic political systems to an international level. The defeat of the fascist countries, above all Germany, Japan, and Italy, gave the democratic countries the upper hand. For the Western allies, above all the United States and Great Britain, as well as for the democratic forces of France, the u l t i m a t e goal o f the War was the d e f e a t of fasc i sm and to ta l i ta r ianism, in o the r words: the defea t of those who fought democracy. The American model of democracy largely provided the standard for the establishment of legitimate democratic political systems in Germany, Italy, and Japan, in each case leading to institutional arrangements that were expressions of particular cultural environments. By the 1980's, the development of democratic structures that resulted from the implementation of the American model appeared to have reached an impasse. The concept of \"democracy\" had ceased to be synonymous with social and political progress within the most developed Western societies--in the United States as well as in Britain, France, and West Germany. In order to examine the present status of the concept of democracy in western social and political thought, I will focus on two contemporary European thinkers who confront the issue of a legitimate political order on the theoretical level, Jean-Franqois Lyotard and Jtirgen Habermas. Lyo ta rd a p p r o a c h e s the p rob lem of poli t ical legi t imacy from a postmodernist perspective, while Habermas does so from a modernist point of view. The relationship between Lyotard and Habermas as well as the links of both to democratic theory will provide the foil for my attempt to clarify the current condition of democratic theory in the most developed societies.
