Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Since Vietnam introduced economic reforms in the mid-1980s domestic service has become an established sector of the labour market and domestic workers have become indispensable to urban life in the rapidly changing country. This book analyzes the ways in which the practices and discourses of domestic service serve to forge and contest emerging class identities in post-reform Vietnam. Drawing on a rich and diverse range of qualitative data including ethnographies interviews and narratives it shows that such practices and discourses are rooted in cultural notions of gender and rural-urban difference and enduring socialist structures of feeling which in turn clash with the realities of growing differentiation. Domestic workers’ experiences reveal negotiations with class boundaries actively set by the urban middle class who seek distinction through emerging notions and practices of domesticity. These boundaries are nevertheless riddled with gender and class anxiety on the side of the latter partly because of the very struggles and contestations of the domestic workers. More broadly Minh T. N. Nguyen links the often invisible intimate dynamics of class formation in the domestic sphere with wider political economic processes in a post-socialist country embarking on marketization while retaining the political control of a party-state. As a pioneering ethnographic study of domestic service in Vietnam today this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asian culture & society social anthropology gender studies human geography and development studies. | Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics: Marxism without Guarantees surveys the Amherst School of non-determinist Marxist political economy 40 years on: its core concepts intellectual origins diverse pathways and enduring tensions. The volume’s 30 original essays reflect the range of perspectives and projects that comprise the Amherst School—the interdisciplinary community of scholars that has enriched and extended while never ceasing to interrogate and recast the anti-economistic Marxism first formulated in the mid-1970s by Stephen Resnick Richard Wolff and their economics Ph. D. students at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The title captures the defining ideas of the Amherst School: an open-system framework that presupposes the complexity and contingency of social-historical events and the parallel overdetermination of the relationship between subjects and objects of inquiry along with a novel conception of class as a process of performing appropriating and distributing surplus labor. In a collection of 30 original essays chapters confront readers with the core concepts of overdetermination and class in the context of economic theory postcolonial theory cultural studies continental philosophy economic geography economic anthropology psychoanalysis and literary theory/studies. Though Resnick and Wolff’s writings serve as a focal point for this collection their works are ultimately decentered—contested historicized reformulated. The topics explored will be of interest to proponents and critics of the post-structuralist/postmodern turn in Marxian theory and to students of economics as social theory across the disciplines (economics geography postcolonial studies cultural studies anthropology sociology political theory philosophy and literary studies among others). | Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Middle-Class Couples A Study of Segregation Domination and Inequality in Marriage

Middle-Class Couples A Study of Segregation Domination and Inequality in Marriage

When this book was originally published in 1980 sociologists had long held the view that the middle-class marriage in contemporary Britain was characterised by role desegregation and marital equality. Middle-Class Couples reported on research which provided a critical re-analysis of this orthodoxy. The book is a theoretically informed empirical study which largely debunks many of the myths associated with this alleged movement towards ‘equal marriage’ among professional couples. The author analysed the sexual division of labour among a group of professional workers and their wives at the child-rearing stage of their family cycle. The research paid special attention to the notion of marital equality and the power dimension of marriage the household division of labour and the patterning of leisure between husbands and wives. A radical critique of the existing social theories of the family and society incorporated in the classic studies of Parsons Watson Young and Willmott Ann Oakley and Elizabeth Bott. | Middle-Class Couples A Study of Segregation Domination and Inequality in Marriage

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

The Micro-politics of Microcredit Gender and Neoliberal Development in Bangladesh

The Micro-politics of Microcredit Gender and Neoliberal Development in Bangladesh

Microcredit has been seen in recent decades as having great potential for aiding development in poor developing countries with Bangladesh being one of the countries which has pioneered microcredit and implemented it most widely. This book based on extensive original research explores how microcredit works in practice and assesses its effectiveness. It discusses how microcredit usually channelled through women is often passed to the men of the family a practice disapproved of by some but regarded as acceptable by borrowers who have a communal approach to debt rather than viewing debt as something held by single individuals. The book demonstrates how the rules around microcredit are often seem as irksome by the borrowers how lenders often charge high rates of interest and work primarily to preserve their institutions thereby going against the spirit of the microcredit movement and how borrowers often end up on a downward spiral deeper and deeper in debt. Overall the book argues that although microcredit does much good it also has many drawbacks. | The Micro-politics of Microcredit Gender and Neoliberal Development in Bangladesh
