Arlie Russell Hochschild Knihy

In this new collection of thirteen essays, Arlie Russell Hochschild—author of the groundbreaking exploration of emotional labor, The Managed Heart and The Outsourced Self—focuses squarely on the impact of social forces on the emotional side of intimate life. From the “work” it takes to keep personal life personal, put feeling into work, and empathize with others; to the cultural “blur” between market and home; the effect of a social class gap on family wellbeing; and the movement of care workers around the globe, Hochschild raises deep questions about the modern age. In an eponymous essay, she even points towards a possible future in which a person asking “How’s the family?” hears the proud answer, “Couldn’t be better.”

In private life, we try to induce or suppress love, envy, and anger through deep acting or emotion work, just as we manage our outer expressions of feeling through surface acting. This title examines two groups of public- contact workers: flight attendants and bill collectors.

NOW IN PAPERBACK The New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist that gives us a "generous but disconcerting look at Tea Party backers in Louisiana to explain the way many people in this country live now, often to the astonishment of everyone else" (The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2016)

"In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country--a stronghold of the conservative right. As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in "red" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from "liberal" government intervention abhor the very idea?"--

An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains relevant more than thirty years after its original publication. Over thirty years ago, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of conversation and controversy with her bestselling book, The Second Shift.

Updated for a workforce that is now half female, this edition cites a range of updated studies and statistics, with an afterword from Hochschild that addresses how far working mothers have come since the book's first publication, and how much farther we all still must go.

In the short time since, the crisis has only become more acute.Arlie Russell Hochschild, bestselling author of The Second Shift, spent three summers at a Fortune 500 company interviewing top executives, secretaries, factory hands, and others. What she found was Though every mother and nearly every father said "family comes first," few of these working parents questioned their long hours or took the company up on chances for flextime, paternity leave, or other "family friendly" policies. Why not? It seems the roles of home and work had work was offering stimulation, guidance, and a sense of belonging, while home had become the place in which there was too much to do in too little time.Today Hochschild's findings are more relevant than ever. As she shows in her new introduction, the borders between family and work have become even more permeable. With the Internet extending working hours at home and offices offering domestic enticements -- free snacks, soft music -- to keep employees later at their jobs, The Time Bind stands as an increasingly important warning about the way we live and work.

Arlie Russell Hochschild, socjolożka z Berkley, spędziła pięć lat w Luizjanie, by zrozumieć o co chodzi Południowcom. Dlaczego sprzeciwiają się federalnej pomocy finansowej, skoro ich stan jest jej największym odbiorcą? Dlaczego sarkają na ekologów i Agencję Ochrony Środowiska, skoro przemysł naftowy truje ich ukochaną Luizjanę na potęgę, nie dając wiele w zamian, bo przy ropie pracuje tylko co dziesiąty mieszkaniec stanu? Wreszcie, w imię czego zagłosowali na Donalda Trumpa, człowieka, który równie dobrze mógłby mieszkać na innej planecie? Oczywiście, jak każda podróż, i ta kończy się wewnętrzną przemianą. Hochschild jedzie na Południe wyposażona w bagaż stereotypów – spodziewa się, że w centrach handlowych zastanie półki pełne libertariańskich powieści Ayn Rand i wszechobecny rasizm. Jej reportaż pokazuje, że rzeczywistość komplikuje te tezy. W Luizjanie spotyka osoby o odrażających poglądach, ale też ciepłych i przyjaznych ludzi wierzących w boga, który już za momencik zabierze ich do nieba. Do swojego liberalnego Berkeley wraca z bagażem wiedzy, doświadczeń i zrozumienia dla Południa. Być może to początek czegoś nowego?
