Class, Self, Culture

Class, Self, Culture

Beverley Skeggs

Routledge
2003
sidottu
Class, Self, Culture puts class back on the map in a novel way by taking a new look at how class is made and given value through culture. It shows how different classes become attributed with value, enabling culture to be deployed as a resource and as a form of property, which has both use-value to the person and exchange-value in systems of symbolic and economic exchange.The book shows how class has not disappeared, but is known and spoken in a myriad of different ways, always working through other categorisations of nation, race, gender and sexuality and across different sites: through popular culture, political rhetoric and academic theory. In particular attention is given to how new forms of personhood are being generated through mechanisms of giving value to culture, and how what we come to know and assume to be a 'self' is always a classed formation. Analysing four processes: of inscription, institutionalisation, perspective-taking and exchange relationships, it challenges recent debates on reflexivity, risk, rational-action theory, individualisation and mobility, by showing how these are all reliant on fixing some people in place so that others can move.

Att bli respektabel : konstruktioner av klass och kön

Att bli respektabel : konstruktioner av klass och kön

Beverley Skeggs

Bokförlaget Daidalos
2000

Respektabilitet är ett av de mest genomgripande tecknen på klasstillhörighet. Respektabiliteten präglar vårt sätt att tala, vem vi talar med, hur vi klassificerar andra, vad vi studerar och hur vi vet vilka vi är (eller inte är). De som bryr sig om respektabilitet är oftast de som inte anses vara respektabla. Arbetarklassen har genom historien ständigt beskrivits som farlig, förorenande, hotande, revolutionär, patologisk och respektlös. Kort sagt: Icke respektabel . I den uppmärksammade studien "Att bli respektabel" sätter Beverley Skeggs in teoretiska debatter i ett konkret sammanhang. Boken grundar sig på forskning som bedrivits under sammanlagt tolv år, varav tre år helt har ägnats åt deltagande observation på fältet. Skeggs har studerat 83 vita arbetarklasskvinnor i nordvästra England. Hon har följt deras banor genom arbetsmarknad, utbildning och familj. "Att bli respektabel" kan beskrivas som en modernistisk etnografi, vilken koncentrerar sig på hur subjektiviteter konstrueras på en rad olika platser och genom tiden och därigenom möjliggör långtidsanalyser av förflyttningar, investeringar och positioner. Den hör hemma i den brittiska kulturforskningstraditionen i det avseendet att teoretiska, metodologiska och politiska frågor bearbetas genom empirisk förståelse och de historiska arv som genomsyrar samtida föreställningar uppmärksammas noggrant. Boken stödjer sig på en rad kulturteoretiker, bland dem Pierre Bourdieu, och feministiska teoretiker som får kugga i kvinnorna erfarenheter av att leva i olika sociala positioner och kulturella föreställningar. Även om "Att bli respektabel" bygger på en specifik grupp kvinnors försök att hitta framkomliga vägar i klass, kön, sexualitet, femininitet, omvårdnad och feminism, så är bokens inriktning allmännare än så. Den ifrågasätter de teoretiska ramar feminister, kulturteoretiker och sociologer har skapat för att förstå hur kvinnor lever och producerar sig själva genom sociala och kulturella relationer. Genom att använda respektabilitet som ett analysredskap vill Skeggs återinföra klass i feminist- och kulturteori, eftersom klass som begrepp och arbetarklasskvinnor som grupp i det närmaste har försvunnit från feminismens och kulturteorins dagordning. Som "Att bli respektabel" visar uppkommer dock kategorin »kvinna» alltid genom processer som innefattar klass, och klassindelning ger synnerligen påtagliga effekter på det dagliga livet. Bevereley Skeggs är sociolog och verksam vid universitetet i Lancaster.

Reacting to Reality Television

Reacting to Reality Television

Beverley Skeggs; Helen Wood

Routledge
2012
sidottu
The unremitting explosion of reality television across the schedules has become a sustainable global phenomenon generating considerable popular and political fervour.The zeal with which television executives seize on the easily replicated formats is matched equally by the eagerness of audiences to offer themselves up as television participants for others to watch and criticise. But how do we react to so many people breaking down, fronting up, tearing apart, dominating, empathising, humiliating, and seemingly laying bare their raw emotion for our entertainment? Do we feel sad when others are sad? Or are we relieved by the knowledge that our circumstances might be better? As reality television extends into the experiences of the everyday, it makes dramatic and often shocking the mundane aspects of our intimate relations, inviting us as viewers into a volatile arena of mediated morality.This book addresses the impact of this endless opening out of intimacy as an entertainment trend that erodes the traditional boundaries between spectator and performer demanding new tools for capturing television’s relationships with audiences. Rather than asking how the reality television genre is interpreted as ‘text’ or representation the authors investigate the politics of viewer encounters as interventions, evocations, and more generally mediated social relations.The authors show how different reactions can involve viewers in tournaments of value, as women viewers empathise and struggle to validate their own lives. The authors use these detailed responses to challenge theories of the self, governmentality and ideology.A must read for both students and researchers in audience studies, television studies and media and communication studies.

Elävä luokka

Elävä luokka

VASTAPAINO

Luokkien on sanottu kadonneen, mutta luokkatutkimuksen elinvoimaisuudesta päätellen niitä on edelleen olemassa, joskin eri muodoissa kuin aiemmin. Beverley Skeggs edustaa luokkatutkimusta, jossa pääasia ei ole ihmisten tilastointi eri luokkiin taloudellisten seikkojen nojalla. Sen sijaan hän lähestyy yhteiskuntaluokkia kulttuurin ja arvottamisen näkökulmista.Skeggs tarkastelee sitä, kuinka tietyistä ryhmistä tulee kulttuurisesti määritettyjä ja kuinka määrittely ja symbolointi tapahtuvat? Miten joistakin kulttuurin osista tulee hyviä ja arvokkaita, toisista pahoja ja arvottomia? Miksi luokittelu on ylipäänsä meidän tapamme ymmärtää nykyaikaa? Hän analysoi myös sitä, kuinka tällaisten määrittelyjen kautta rakennetaan ja arvotetaan yhteiskunnallisia luokkia. Arvottamista ja määrittelyä harjoitetaan sekä suorasti että epäsuorasti niin populaarikulttuurissa, poliittisessa retoriikassa kuin akateemisessa tutkimuksessakin. Arvottomina pidettyjen luokkien avulla muiden on mahdollista tunnistaa oma erilaisuutensa ja arvonsa - sekä taloudellinen että moraalinen.Skeggs on tuonut luokkatutkimukseen uusia metodologisia ja teoreettisia avauksia, jotka ovat merkinneet läpimurtoa luokkatutkimuksen alueella. Hän toimii sosiologian professorina Lontoon yliopiston Goldsmiths' Collegessa.

Sexuality and the Politics of Violence and Safety

Sexuality and the Politics of Violence and Safety

Les Moran; Beverley Skeggs

Routledge
2003
sidottu
Sexuality and the Politics of Violence offers a timely and critical exploration of issues of safety and security at the centre of responses to violence. Through a multi-disciplinary analysis, drawing on feminism, lesbian and gay studies, sociology, cultural geography, criminology and critical legal scholarship, the book offers to transform the way we understand and respond to the challenges raised by violence. It breaks new ground in its examination of the rhetoric and politics of violence, property, home, cosmopolitanism and stranger danger in the generation of safety and security. Using interviews, focus groups and surveys with lesbians and gay men, Sexuality and the Politics of Violence draws upon 'real life' experiences of safety and security. It raises some fundamental challenges to the law and order politics of existing scholarship and activism on homophobic hate crime.

Beverley in 50 Buildings

Beverley in 50 Buildings

Lorna Jane Harvey; Phil Dearden

Amberley Publishing

Beverley’s rich historic legacy is visible in its many beautiful buildings. Already an important religious centre in Anglo-Saxon times, it continued to grow throughout the Middle Ages as a place of pilgrimage and as a prosperous wool-trading centre, and its landmark buildings and structures from that period, such as the famous Beverley Minster and North Bar, still attract visitors. In the eighteenth century Beverley became the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire and many streets and buildings were rebuilt in the Georgian style, including the market cross, which later secretly sheltered some soldiers during wartime. Beverley Racecourse was also established at this time. Building continued in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and alongside the town’s landmark buildings the story of Beverley can be seen in its pubs, including the gas-lit White Horse Inn known locally as ‘Nellie's Pub’, hospitals, railway station buildings, industrial sites, theatres and cinemas, and more, up to the present day. Beverley in 50 Buildings explores the history of this historic town through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place in Beverley over the years. This book will appeal to all those who live in Beverley or who have an interest in the town.

Hidden in the darkroom of our subconscious are files containing information about our past. For those who have led a life of truth and respectability, their files will remain eternally closed. But for those who have led a life of deceit and betrayal, their files will be opened, the consequences of their actions ending in divorce and alienation. Whether the sexual act involves infidelity or just impulsive and irrational misbehaviour, it can often be conceived that the risks are gratuitous and frequently undertaken without remorse, incrimination or consequence.Beverley and Andrew Grainger met at university and have been together for nearly thirty-years. Beverley is fifty and works as a headteacher at a school in Cheshire. Andrew is sixty-two and before he retired he worked as an architect in a large architectural and engineering practice in Manchester. After a romantic honeymoon in Majorca they fell in love with the island and they've been going back to the same resort and the same hotel ever since.Beverley Grainger is an attractive woman, with a fabulous figure and still turns heads wherever she goes. Andrew lost interest in sex when he turned sixty, but even before that sex was confrontational, hurried and very disappointing. Beverley never thought she could be unfaithful to Andrew. In fact, she never looked at other men until she reached fifty and realised that compared to her friend Sally Monroe and some other women her age, her life was boring, sexless and lacking excitement. When Beverley Grainger was diagnosed with breast cancer not only did her life change, her attitude, her dreams, and her appetite for sex changed with it.The book contains explicit descriptions of sexual behaviour and is therefore intended for adult reading only. To protect the privacy and reputation of individuals, all the names, dates and places in the book have been changed.

Beverley Minster

Beverley Minster

Jonathan Foyle

Scala Arts Heritage Publishers Ltd

Beverley Minster is one of the most spectacular and impressive of English non-cathedral churches. It owes its origins to the Saxon St John of Beverley, who is buried here, though most of what we see today dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, when Beverley was one of the largest and wealthiest towns in England and the Minster was a major pilgrimage centre. Despite a long building programme, the church was constructed in a consistent architectural style which gives the interior, in particular, a pleasing harmony. Dr Foyle traces the importance of St John as both the founder and the inspiration for the continuing development of the Minster, and the book is lavishly illustrated with specially commissioned photography.
