Organisation du travail et politique nucléaire
Larry Savage et Dennis Soron nous dévoilent dans cet article que la question du nucléaire n'est pas spécifiquement française. Il se produit autour de cet outil un attachement assez particulier, qu'on trouve dans peu d'autres domaines, mis à part peut-être la terre. Les auteurs montrent aussi que les réserves sont ancrées dans la perspective bien concrète de pouvoir perdre son emploi
George Ritzer, The McDonaldization of Society (20th Anniversary Edition)
George Ritzer, The of Society: 20th Anniversary Edition. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage, 2013, 237 pp., $46.00 paper (978-1-4522-2669-9). Over the past few decades, George Ritzer's work on has effectively become a franchise operation in its own right. Since his initial formulation of the term in a short article in the Journal of American Culture in 1983, the so-called McDonaldization has spawned a score of related books and academic articles by Ritzer a…
Organized Labor, Nuclear Power, and Environmental Justice
This article engages in a comparative analysis of the U.S. and Canadian labor movements’ attitudes toward nuclear power, in both historical and contemporary periods, with a view to explaining the divergent policy positions on nuclear power adopted by the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the AFL-CIO, respectively. The contrasting views of the AFL-CIO and CLC, it is argued, arise not simply from differing levels of commitment to the principles of…
Organized Labor and the Politics of Nuclear Energy
Over the past several years, there has been a gradual yet perceptible shift in the way that economic and political elites in the advanced capitalist world engage with environmental problems such as
Sustainability, self‐identity and the sociology of consumption
In order to develop a more nuanced model of consumer behaviour and the dynamics of behavioural change, this paper argues, the discourse of sustainable consumption needs to draw more fully upon the sociological literature addressing consumption, its varied drivers, and the complex roles it plays within contemporary life. Since its revival in the 1980s, the sociology of consumption has largely focused on the ways in which everyday consumption choic…
Road Kill
The rapid proliferation of roads and vehicles in North America over the past several decades has made the problem of roadkill so acute that, setting aside the meat industry, automobile collisions now surpass hunting as the leading human cause of vertebrate mortality. Unfortunately, roadkill is still a largely overlooked problem that has not been seriously taken up by major animal-rights or environmental organizations. In the absence of any cohere…
Ecology, Capitalism, and the Socialization of Nature
DENNIS SORON: Many environmentalists came away from the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 with a great deal of optimism, believing that the cause of global environmental reform had finally been seriously placed on the political agenda. Today, with environmental conditions continuing to worsen and governments refusing to take effective action, it seems that little of this optimism remains. Why did the hopes spawned at Rio turn out to be so misplaced?This a…
The cultural politics of Kyoto
I would like to thank Josee Johnston and Andrew Biro for their helpful suggestions and practical assistance in revising an earlier draft of this paper
Back to the Future
FEW DEVELOPMENTS could seem more unlikely in our current political and intellectual climate than a sudden reawakening of utopian energies on the left. Indeed, in most progressive quarters, die long winter of neoconservative reaction and capitalist tnumphalism has given rise to a pervasive sense of impotence and despair — feelings which are hardly conducive to the kind of expansive, hopeful, and visionary thinking we normally associate with utopia…
