Chapter Ten. Globalization And The Sociology Of Religion In America
This chapter summarizes some of the perspectives that have emerged in the past twenty-five years or so in the sociology of religion in America where the phenomenon of globalization has been addressed. In some cases these are home grown developments arising from within the field of the sociology of religion and finding resonance and possibilities for fruitful embellishment in conversation with sister disciplines. In other cases, especially with re…

Postmaterialism in Unresponsive Political Systems
Nous examinons la thèse de Ronald Inglehart selon laquelle le postmatérialisme est un phénomène politique universel qui concerne toute société industrialisée avancée. Après avoir introduit une distinction entre systèmes politiques réactifs et non réactifs, nous proposons que, dans les systèmes réactifs, le clivage matérialiste s'est enracinéà un tel point qu'il triomphait encore du postmatérialisme. Par contre, le postmatérialisme a réussi à se d…

Varieties of Imagination and Nothingness in the Global Village
One of the most remarkable things about the events of September 11th is the extent and degree of their aestheticization. Had the weather in New York on that day been overcast we would have seen the muted television images of a silver passenger plane blended into grey clouds. The plane would have penetrated a building rising out of a skyline absorbed in a neutral horizon. Smoke would have melted into a pallid background. The scene would have been …

Fundamentalisms and the State

Clarifying and Extending Power-Control Theory
This article responds to Jensen and Thompson's analysis of power control theory by placing the analysis within the context of Jensen's previous work and offering new findings from a wealthy Canadian community. This new analysis further contextualizes the theory by operationalizing, patriarchy in terms of a direct and parsimonious measure of marital power. Jensen and Thompson's analysis notwithstanding, the core of the power-control model performs…
Homeless Black Youth
Black youth growing up in northern central cities during the late fifties and sixties were relegated to enforced idleness due to an unemployment crisis that has persisted over time. This crisis eventuated in their homelessness, social problem that will continue through the next decade. Using data compiled from studies in three northern central cities, the author of this paper suggests that homelessness among today's black youth began four decades…
The Class Structure of Gender and Delinquency
Though seldom considered together, class and gender are among the most frequently analyzed correlates of delinquency today. This paper formulates and test a neo-Marxian, class-based, power control theory of gender and delinquency. Using this theory and a prediction made by Bonger more than a half-century ago, the article demonstrates that the relationship between gender and common forms of delinquency declines with each step down the class struct…
Class in the Household
This paper extends a power-control theory of common delinquent behavior developed by Hagan, Gillis, and Simpson in 1985. It does so by bringing the class analysis of delinquency into the household, using a new model of class relations based on the relative positions of husbands and wives in the workplace. In patriarchal families, wives have little power relative to husbands, daughters have little freedom relative to sons, and daughters are less d…
The Sexual Stratification of Social Control
This paper outlines an historically situated, gender-based perspective on crime and delinquency. The perspective is stated in prc)positional form and tested with data on juvenile delinquency. The fundamental propositions assert that there is a sexually stratified inverse relationship between structurally differentiated processes of social control, such that women are more frequently the instruments and objects of informal social controls, while m…
Feminist Scholarship, Relational and Instrumental Control, and a Power-Control Theory of Gender and Delinquency
This paper incorporates an emphasis placed on relational processes in contemporary feminist scholarship, and in so doing extends the development of a power-control theory of gender and delinquency. Feminist scholarship emphasizes that relational processes involving shared intimacy, mutual understanding, caring and other kinds of interpersonal atTect are more characteristic of women than men. However, there is debate among feminist scholars, such …
