La tercera revolución de la modernidad; la revolución reproductiva
La «modernidad», además de las revoluciones económica y política, ha requerido también una revolución reproductiva, entendida como un cambio de escala, históricamente reciente e irrepetible, en la eficiencia de la reproducción demográfica. Este concepto, además de clarificar el papel jugado por los cambios demográficos en el proceso de modernización, ofrece una mejor integración entre sociología y demografía. La primera ha infravalorado la releva…
Anxious women or complacent men? Anxiety of statistics in a sample of UK sociology undergraduates
One of the most commonly identified obstacles in the learning-teaching of quantitative material is statistics anxiety. Of the factors analysed in relation to statistics anxiety, age and gender have received a substantial proportion of the research focus. Yet there is limited work that systematically examines the possibility of an interrelationship, or interaction, between age and gender and reported statistics anxiety. This article aims to direct…

As Payne points out, the failure of most undergraduate social science degree programmes in the UK to give students a good grounding in social statistics has been a chronic problem for some forty ye
Population Ageing in Scotland: Time for a Re-think
The Reproductive Revolution
We suggest that a third revolution alongside the better known economic and political ones has been vital to the rise of modernity: the reproductive revolution, comprising a historically unrepeatable shift in the efficiency of human reproduction which for the first time brought demographic security. As well as highlighting the contribution of demographic change to the rise of modernity and addressing the limitations of orthodox theories of the dem…
Where is the British national press?1
Although globalization has highlighted the danger of conflating state, society and nation, sociologists remain insufficiently alert to such banal nationalism. Newspapers offer a strong test case of the extent of diversity in the construction of state, national and social boundaries, since Billig and Anderson have argued they comprise a special case where their orientation to an audience simultaneously located in a state, society and nation allows…
Low’ fertility and population replacement in Scotland
It has been argued that Scotland faces population ageing and decline that will have potentially serious economic and social consequences, and that the origin of these processes lie in its low and declining fertility rates. After considering alternatives to the total period rate measure of fertility, empirical evidence and theoretical argument about low fertility and its consequences is briefly reviewed. The paper argues that low fertility in gene…
Work–life Balance in Europe: A Response to the Baby Bust or Reward for the Baby Boomers
The academic analysis of work–life balance (WLB) has too often followed the public policy debate without sufficient reflection on its origins, the accuracy of the assumptions it tends to make, or the analytical adequacy of the concepts it uses. This paper suggests that what are usually assumed to be the causes of the debate (longer hours and greater stress at work, along with the collapse of the male breadwinner division of parenting and employme…
Mediating Which Nation? Citizenship and National Identities in the British Press
This paper examines one particular aspect of the relationship between citizenship and media, namely the way in which newspapers establish, define or reinforce the boundaries of “national” communities (and thus determine who might be a member). The research is conducted against the background of devolution in the United Kingdom, which helped to focus upon and illuminate the diverse conceptions of national identities within multi-national states. W…
Castells' Catalan routes: Nationalism and the Sociology of Identity1
Castells' analysis of the rise of a global network society and information age is underpinned, paradoxically, by a nationalist vision with organic links in a Gramscian sense to Catalan nationalism. This leads to various weaknesses in his theory, especially an over-emphasis on language and nation at the expense of class. Exploring the specifically Catalan origins of his work, and testing its adequacy there, helps us to understand Castells' broader…

Nation Speaking Unto Nation? Newspapers and National Identity in the Devolved UK
There are two problems with the existing account of the relationship between newspapers and national identity in the UK. The first is that although it is widely assumed that the mass media are central to the reproduction and evolution of national identity this has never been empirically demonstrated. The second is that exactly what comprises the relevant ‘national’ context in the UK is unclear. Content analysis of 2,500 sampled articles, together…

Dual National Identity in Scotland and Catalonia
We can think of national identity as a complex, ambiguous concept that ultimately expresses how the inhabitants of an increasingly secular, globalised and reflexive modern world come to terms with the particularities of their birthplace and lineage, their membership of diverse civil societies and citizenship of states. Yet national identity is not conferred directly by any of these things, and depends for its force, at least in part, upon appeals…
Production, reproduction and the commodity status of labour
Analysing patriarchy capitalism and women's employment in Europe
Variations in inequality between men and women across European countries might best be understood by examining how the capitalist market, liberal democratic state and growth of rational reflexivity systematically undermines a range of pre‐existing patriarchal social orders, creating a more egalitarian sexual division of labour. The expansion of women's employment, initially promoted by the long post‐war boom has been central in accelerating this …
The Myth of the Macho Scotsman: Attitudes to Gender, Work and the Family in the UK, Ireland and Europe
It is a common assumption in everyday conversation that attitudes towards gender are more conservative in Scotland than in other parts of Britain, and that this is particularly true of Scottish men. We expect the inhabitants of Govan to take a more traditional approach to gender roles than those of Islington. This assumption perhaps has two origins. Many of the ideological myths which are central to Scottish national identity are based around rig…

Analysing Men
I think a lot of pro‐feminist men are still into judging other men, the things they say and the way they behave, just like feminists do. When you find out about feminism, you tend to go through a period of not wanting to be a man and not liking other men, and just listening to women and being around them. And in a sense you still feel threatened by other men, and you sort of don't want them to be, as good at being a feminist as you are, kind of t…
(I Can't Get no) Satisfaction
Both these books are stimulating analyses of the relationship between employment and personal identity in the new, anxious age of late, 'flexibilised' industrial modernity. Both bring together the sociology of work, the sociology of the family and psychology (principally psychoanalysis): three disciplines whose avoidance of each other is mutually impoverishing. They ask grand questions which pulls us away from too 'applied' a perspective and offe…
Astonishingly Stupid: The ‘Panorama’ Affair
At first sight it seemed scarcely credible. When the BBC proposed to broadcast an interview with John Major on Panorama just three days before the Scottish local elections on 6 April this year, a single programme delivered a public relations bounty to Scottish Television (by confirming the BBC's metropolitan centralism and the impotence of its Scottish 'National Region'); brought defeat in the courts (something the BBC has carefully tried to avoi…

Notes on Passages in Cicero
In Brutus § 274 Cicero writes: The style of M. Calidius was pure and limpid; he used no word that was ‘ durum aut insolens aut humile aut longius ductum. Erant autem et uerborum et sententiarum ilia lumina quae uocant Graeci ...(§ 275) “ Qua de re agitur” autem illud quod multis locis in iuris consultorum includitur formulis et ubi esset uidebat .’ In the last phrase, which I give in the MSS reading, editors have adopted for et ubi the suggestion…

Rise and Be a Broadcaster Again
In a small country like Scotland, our film and television industry is especially important to us because, as well as bringing the world to us, they provide us with the most powerful contemporary means for expressing our own identity to the world, whether in Scotland, the rest of the UK, or beyond. The image that we project of ourselves is important. By encouraging the growth and exposure of talent... and by ensuring strong broadcasting and film i…
