The Point of Public Intellectuals
Michael D. Kennedy on contributing to a culture of critical discourse
Are Respiratory Responses to Cold Air Exercise Different in Females Compared to Males? Implications for Exercise in Cold Air Environments
Research has shown that cold air exercise causes significant respiratory dysfunction, especially in female athletes. However, how female and male athletes respond to cold air exercise is not known. Thus, we aimed to compare acute respiratory responses (function, recovery and symptoms) in males and females after high-intensity cold air exercise. Eighteen (nine female) athletes completed two environmental chamber running trials at 0 °C and -20 °C (…
Towards a Theory and Practice of Diversity and Inclusion in Globalizing US Universities
Concerns for social justice in and commitments to globalizing universities are rarely part of the same portfolio among academic managers, or even among students, but these articulations of transformation in higher education increasingly intersect in both decolonizing theory and practice. Following an elaboration of various meanings of solidarity, diversity, and globalizing knowledge, we consider various connotations of the decolonizing mobilizati…

From 'Civil Society' to 'Europe
Rewriting the Death and Afterlife of a Corporation
Various genres and media and their accounts of Bethlehem Steel's history illustrate the relationality of its corporate personhood, and the consequent importance of labor and class conflict to critical corporate studies. The Steel's death and afterlife also extend the field's ability to see how the survivors of businesses gone bankrupt monumentalize an industrial past to imagine alternative futures in an age of casino capitalism
Circular Validations and Modes of Understanding from Socialism to Wall Street
Did you know that the revolutions of 1989, at least the one in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), were bloodless because the ruling party was clueless? That is what Andreas Glaeser's former Stasi interlocutors proposed as an account for socialism's peaceful end. Perhaps I should not give away one of the conclusion's punchlines, but pleasure is not only to be found in the end. This charming, broadly informed and substantial volume is ambitious,…

Calhoun's Critical Sociology of Cosmopolitanism, Solidarity and Public Space
Calhoun's critical sociology relies not only on engagements with Habermas, Bourdieu and Taylor, but also on the middle range empirical traditions of American sociology. Through a review of his recent work on cosmopolitanism and globalization, community and solidarity, and public spaces and sociology, I propose that his search to explain different ways in which solidarity is developed offers a robust sociological foundation for the development of …
Rereading The Intellectuals on the Road to Class Power
Evolution and Event in History and Social Change
Authors have contrasted social change and history many times, especially in terms of the significance of the event in accounting for the broadest contours of human societies' evolution. After recasting Gerhard Lenski's ecological-evolutionary theory in a critical fashion, by emphasizing its engagement with alternativity and by introducing a different approach to structure, I reconsider the salience of the event in the developmentalist project and…

Globalizations and Social Movements
Globalization is a set of processes that are weakening national boundaries. Both transnational and local social movements develop to resist the processes of globalization--migration, economic interdependence, global media coverage of events and issues, and intergovernmental relations. Globalization not only spurs the creation of social movements, but affects the way many social movements are structured and work. The essays in this volume illumina…

From Marxism to Postcommunism
In this review of the relationship between marxism and East European transformations since 1989, we consider why Eastern Europe is so important to marxism and how marxists have addressed its transformations. We also point to similar analyses of these transformations generated by nonmarxists, and we review exemplary East European interpretations of marxism to demonstrate that the principal challenge in developing marxism in Eastern Europe lies out…

American Regional Cultures and Differences in Leisure Time Activities
This paper examines and documents differences between southerners and other Americans in the use of leisure time. Using data from a 1973 national sample survey giving particular attention to arts-related leisure pursuits, nine types of leisure activity are identified, and regional differences mark all nine; six of these differences remain statistically significant when controlled for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and for regional …

Professionals, Power and Solidarity in Poland
The Solidarity movement of the early 1980s not only triggered a transformation in Polish society, it forced a fundamental reconsideration of the nature of socialism throughout the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Seen as one of the most important social movements of the twentieth century, Michael Kennedy develops a theoretical conception of Soviet-type societies by analysing Solidarity's significance. He explains the background to the nature of t…
