Book excerpt: Class in Australia interrogates the position of class as an explanatory concept and investigates the current state and future of class analysis in Australia by bringing together a range of new and original research on inequality and class. Two decades since it was claimed that class is dead, social, economic and cultural inequalities are rising. Though Australia is often described as a 'lucky country' with a strong economy, we are witness to intensifying inequality with entrenched poverty and the growth of precarious and insecure labour. The disassociation of the rusted-on Labor voter and the rise of far-right politics suggest there is an urgent need to examine the contemporary functions of class relations. Class analysis in Australia has always had a contested position. The prominence of scholarship from the UK and US has often meant class analysis in Australia has had little to say about its settler colonial history and the past and present dynamics of race and racism that are deeply embedded in social and labour relations. In the post-war turn away from Marx and subsequent embrace of Bourdieu, much sociological research on class has focused on explorations of consumption and culture. Long-standing feminist critiques of the absence of gendered labour in class analysis also pose challenges for understanding and researching class. At a time of deepening inequality, Class in Australia is a timely examination of class relations, labour exploitation, and the changing formations of work in contemporary Australian society. 'From colonial inequality to Upper Middle Bogan, this captivating volume dives deep into how class has shaped our nation. Through studies of the unemployed, warehouse workers, unions and school students, this book presents the finest analysis of class that Australian sociology has to offer. Read it to get a richer understanding of poverty, a stronger sense of social status, and a nuanced analysis of how gender, race and sexuality intersect with class.' -- Andrew Leigh MP 'This is a must-read collection for anyone interested in the topic of class in Australia. This collection digs deeps and engages with relevant and timely discussions about class using both an historical and contemporary lens. For anyone who is teaching, studying, or writing about class as theory or method, this book will open up rich and productive conversations. Class is an enduring problematic, both as a descriptor, heuristic device or theoretical framework. This collection aptly responds to this problematic, engaging with class across multiple intersections including gender, race and space. It taps into class as symbolic and ephemeral whilst also highlighting the material, tangible divisions that it produces.' -- Dr. Emma Rowe, Senior Lecturer in Education, Deakin University

Book Synopsis Reimagining Class in Australia by : Henry Paternoster
Download or read book Reimagining Class in Australia written by Henry Paternoster and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-evaluates New Left and Marxist texts from the 1980s, in order to explore problems facing the study of ‘class’ which have emerged within Australian and international theories. The author contrasts the popular ideas of Connell, Bourdieu and the ‘Death of Class’ thesis, with those of lesser known texts, concluding that no single definition can account for the various historical meanings of class. Instead, loosely following Castoriadis, the concept of class can best be understood as creatively imagined and institutionalised. Paternoster proposes that class is best studied through historical phenomenology, which can be used to link political economy, cultural sociology and anthropological ethnographies. This approach allows the contributions of Marxist and New Left authors to be reintegrated with contemporary theories. Doing so highlights the significance of labour populism, while cautioning against the ahistorical applications of texts such as Bourdieu’s Distinction. Reimagining Class in Australia will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, history, political economy and anthropology.

Book Synopsis Class Struggle in the Public Service by : Rick Kuhn
Download or read book Class Struggle in the Public Service written by Rick Kuhn and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The body of the thesis is divided into three parts: overview and clarification of theoretical issues - chapter 1, 2 and 3; some developments in the Australian Public Servie (APS) labour process since 1945 - chapters 4 and 5; public service employee organisation, chapter 6. Chapter 1 provides an outline of the empirical scope of the thesis and a statistical overview of state employment in Australia. Chapter 2 considers marxist theories which have a bearing on the questions in hand. Therborn's 1978 essay "Dictatorship of the Proletariat and the Class character of the State Apparatus" which directly addresses the central concerns of the thesis is examined. It is criticised for its inadequate understanding of the distinction between state and civil society, shared by many other marxist analyses, which leads to a replacement of concepts of historical materialism by those of orthodox social science, when the internal structure of the state is being analysed. The critique of Therborn leads to the conclusion that the nature of class relations within the state must be the basis for further analysis of the state's internal structure. These class relations are explored by taking up the debate on the "new middle class", initiated by Poulantzas. He maintains that state employees are members of the new petty bourgeoisie rather than proletarian, because they do not perform productive labour. The related critiques of Poulantzas by Carchedi and Wright point out the inadequacy of the productive/unproductive labour criterion and his contradictory use of other criteria (political and ideological roles). Carchedi's own approach, which identified workers, members of the new middle class and bourgeoisie amongst' state employees is adopted and applied to the classifications structure of the APS. Carchedi's analysis opens the way to considering the APS as a labour process. Chapter 3 established some specific characteristics of the APS labour process through an exposition and application of Edwards' theory of internal labour markets. Part II examines the recent history of class relations in the APS on the basis of the approach elaborated in Part I. Chapter 4 considers the developments from 1945 to the late 1960's and their continuing relevance. The main aspects are: the relationship between staff ceilings and economic conditions (early 1950's); joint consultation (1945 to around 1955); "scientific management" (1948 to the present); and the automation of the public service (early 1960's to the present). Chapter 5 is concerned with developments since the late 1960's. The implications of the present crisis and staff ceilings are discussed. The majority of the chapter deals with work humanisation schemes, briefly examining international trends and then considering the course of their development in Australia. The final part of the chapter considers different marxist approaches to work and the role of behayioura1 science as an ideology. Chapter 6 is an assessment of Australian public service trade unions in the context of socialist strategy, The evolution of the Administrative and Clerical Officers' Association and Australian Public Service Association is briefly outlined as a background to the activities of the two left groupings inside them, The experiences of the groups are used to throw light on the potential role of public servants in a socialist strategy.

Book Synopsis Approaches to Class Analysis by : Erik Olin Wright
Download or read book Approaches to Class Analysis written by Erik Olin Wright and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few themes have been as central to sociology as 'class' and yet class remains a perpetually contested idea. Sociologists disagree not only on how best to define the concept of class but on its general role in social theory and indeed on its continued relevance to the sociological analysis of contemporary society. Some people believe that classes have largely dissolved in contemporary societies; others believe class remains one of the fundamental forms of social inequality and social power. Some see class as a narrow economic phenomenon whilst others adopt an expansive conception that includes cultural dimensions as well as economic conditions. This 2005 book explores the theoretical foundations of six major perspectives of class with each chapter written by an expert in the field. It concludes with a conceptual map of these alternative approaches by posing the question: 'If class is the answer, what is the question?'

Book Synopsis Class Struggle in the New Testament by : Robert J. Myles
Download or read book Class Struggle in the New Testament written by Robert J. Myles and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Class Struggle in the New Testament engages the political and economic realities of the first century to unmask the mediation of class through several New Testament texts and traditions. Essays span a range of subfields, presenting class struggle as the motor force of history by responding to recent debates, historical data, and new evidence on the political-economic world of Jesus, Paul, and the Gospels. Chapters address collective struggles in the Gospels; the Roman military and class; the usefulness of categories like peasant, retainer, and middling groups for understanding the world of Jesus; the class basis behind the origin of archangels; the Gospels as products of elite culture; the implication of capitalist ideology upon biblical interpretation; and the New Testament’s use of slavery metaphors, populist features, and gifting practices. This book will become a definitive reference point for future discussion.
