Why Fromm now? Envisioning a saner society
Erich Fromm has long been a forgotten intellectual despite his status as a major critical theorist and sociologist in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s but his work is being returned to with new enthusiasm because of events in the world, developments within sociology and new interest in psychosocial analysis dealing with emotions. This paper theorizes Fromm's return to scholarly influence now, offering analysis of both his reputational fate in light of …
Carrying It On
Stanley Aronowitz was the author's professor in the PhD program in sociology at the City University of New York Graduate Center and influenced her intellectual development. This memorial essay presents reflections on the author's years working with Stanley as a student, and six ways that his influences were generalizable beyond, but also including, her particular experiences

C. Wright Mills, Freud, and the Psychosocial Imagination
C. Wright Mills, Freud, and the Psychosocial Imagination
The name “C. Wright Mills” may be best known to twentieth century students through the book The Sociological Imagination (1958) and through Mills’ commonly quoted statement that sociology can be defined by how “personal troubles” and “public issues” interrelate. However despite two new works by Stanley Aronowitz and Jock Young about the ongoing relevance of Mills’ ideas (Aronowitz, 2012; Young, 2011) to sociology and criminology, Mills seems less…
Introduction: The Unhappy Divorce: From Marginalization to Revitalization
It seems fair to say that, in the mainstream of American sociology, psychoanalysis is often seen as outside the field’s primary concerns. In 2014, many if not most contemporary scholars in the field are inclined to view the Freudian tradition suspiciously, and as beyond the purview of the “bread and butter” issues’including class, race and gender inequalities’that concern and frame the field in the US. The realms of the psychic and the psychoanal…
The Unhappy Divorce of Sociology and Psychoanalysis: Diverse Perspectives on the Psychosocial

The Peculiar Persistence of the U.S. Death Penalty
The Organization of Marginalized Places
After reading Martin Sanchez-Jankowski's superb Cracks in the Pavement, though, I found myself speculating why Wilson and Sampson were quoted and not Sanchez-Jan kowski, who has won two C. Wright Mills awards (for Cracks in the Pavement and for his 1991 Islands in the Street: Gangs and Amer ican Urban Society). Consider this review essay a corrective to the Times' omission. Sanchez-Jankowski has added to this topic—about how culture, urban sociol…
Sex Work: A Review of Recent Literature
Public criminologies: Diverse perspectives on academia and policy
The origins of this Special Issue of Theoretical Criminology can be located in a ‘Modernizing Criminal Justice’ conference that we both attended in London in June 2002. The high-profile event was co-sponsored by John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York, the Metropolitan Police and the FBI. Broadcasting crews were on hand to digest the plenary speeches of senior representatives of the British government, the judiciary and law enforcement age…

The (In) Spectre Returns! Global Capitalism and the Future of Work
Unintended Intimacies: Sex and Sociology
Beyond Female Masochism: Memory Work and Politics
Frigga Haug, one of Germany's best-known feminist and Marxist critics, develops here a profound challenge both to women's oppression and to what she sees as women's 'collusion' in that oppression. Rejecting the essentialism of much feminist writing today, along with the denial of subjectivity that still permeates Marxism, Haug explores the connections between Marxist theory and the emancipation of women, a project which necessarily involves, as s…
