Family Work Among the Astors

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within classical sociological accounts of capitalism, families are curious remnants of the past. Contemporary elite sociology dismisses the family in a different way: by primarily focusing on individual men. When the family does appear within elite studies, scholars frequently follow a stratification framework, which focuses on the ...

In his contribution to the book The Idea of Communism, Slavoj Žižek argues that ‘we can no longer talk about “reification”in the classic Lukácsian sense. Far from being invisible, social relationality in its very fluidity is directly the object of marketing and exchange’ (Žižek, 2010, p. 221).

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
RÉSUMÉ L'étude publiée par Ball et Brown en 1968 (ci‐après « BB68 ») est principalement reconnue pour son affirmation selon laquelle la comptabilité de l'époque était utile pour les investisseurs, s'inscrivant alors en contradiction avec la littérature comptable normative faisant office d'autorité. Or, une telle affirmation n'allait pas de soi.

Abstract This article centers on the concept of “belonging” to argue that belonging and freedom are fundamentally related, and that this relationship cannot be easily captured in formal terms alone. I contend that experiences of incomplete belonging among citizens deserve attention from political science because, in addition to their more obvious ...
