The Social Dimension of Social Housing Spectormag GbR

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Gesellschaftliche Debatten über Wohnverhältnisse und Wohnungsbau werden inzwischen in weiten Teilen der Welt mit großer Dringlichkeit geführt - womit auch die Frage nach sozialem Wohnungsbau erneut ins Zentrum der öffentlichen Diskussion rückt. Unklar ist allerdings, was eigentlich das "Soziale" des sozialen Wohnungsbaus ausmachen soll. Dieses Buch will unser Wissen über sozialen Wohnungsbau vermehren und eine Diskussion anstoßen, worauf die Charakterisierung "sozial" verweist (oder verweisen soll). Es ist eine Einladung zu einer Reise über Kontinente und durch Konzepte, ein Kaleidoskop sozialer, politischer und kultureller Realitäten. 20 kurze Essays beschreiben anhand von Fallstudien aus verschiedenen Ländern das soziale Leben in Sozialwohnungen. Zehn Theoriekapitel reflektieren aus der Perspektive unterschiedlicher Disziplinen die globalen Herausforderungen, zu deren Bewältigung in den Beispielen jeweils lokale Ansätze gefunden werden: Migration und Mobilität, soziale Ungleichheit und soziale Gerechtigkeit, veränderte Haushaltsstrukturen, (Re-)Konstruktionen von Familie, neue Technologien und die Neuverteilung von Care-Aufgaben. Simon Güntner ist Professor für Raumsoziologie an der TU Wien. Juma Hauser arbeitet als Konzeptkünstlerin und Gestalterin in Wien. Judith M. Lehner arbeitet als Architektin und Stadtforscherin am Research Center New Social Housing an der TU Wien. Christoph Reinprecht ist Professor für Soziologie an der Universität Wien.--Housing has become a key concern in most parts of today's world, putting social housing again at the centre of public debate. However, it is not clear what the "social" in social housing actually means. This book sets out to increase our knowledge about social housing and stimulate an ongoing discussion about what the social refers to (or is meant to refer to). The book invites you on a journey across continents and concepts, offering up a kaleidoscope of social, political, and cultural realities. Twenty short essays, based on case studies from around the world, describe and illustrate the social life in social housing. Ten theoretical chapters, written from the perspective of different disciplines, reflect on the global challenges behind the local responses which the cases represent: migration and mobility, issues of social inequality and social justice, changing household patterns, family (re)constructions, new technologies, and care arrangements. Simon Güntner is a professor of spatial sociology, TU Wien. Juma Hauser is a conceptual artist and designer based in Vienna. Judith M. Lehner is an architect and urban researcher at the Research Centre for New Social Housing, TU Wien. Christoph Reinprecht is a professor of sociology, University of Vienna

Production of Difference OUP USA

In 1907, pioneering labor historian and economist John Commons argued that U.S. management had shown just one "symptom of originality," namely "playing one race against the other." In this eye-opening book, David Roediger and Elizabeth Esch offer a radically new way of understanding the history of management in the United States, placing race, migration, and empire at the center of what has sometimes been narrowly seen as a search for efficiency and economy. Ranging from the antebellum period to the coming of the Great Depression, the book examines the extensive literature slave masters produced on how to manage and "develop" slaves; explores what was perhaps the greatest managerial feat in U.S. history, the building of the transcontinental railroad, which pitted Chinese and Irish work gangs against each other; and concludes by looking at how these strategies survive today in the management of hard, low-paying, dangerous jobs in agriculture, military support, and meatpacking. Roediger and Esch convey what slaves, immigrants, and all working people were up against as the objects of managerial control.Managers explicitly ranked racial groups, both in terms of which labor they were best suited for and their relative value compared to others. The authors show how whites relied on such alleged racial knowledge to manage and believed that the "lesser races" could only benefit from their tutelage. These views wove together managerial strategies and white supremacy not only ideologically but practically, every day at workplaces. Even in factories governed by scientific management, the impulse to play races against each other, and to slot workers into jobs categorized by race, constituted powerful management tools used to enforce discipline, lower wages, keep workers on dangerous jobs, and undermine solidarity. Painstakingly researched and brilliantly argued, The Production of Difference will revolutionize the history of labor race in the United States.
