No Choice but to Be Essential
Under COVID-19, low-wage service sector workers found themselves as essential workers vulnerable to intensified precarity. Based on in-depth interviews with a sample of 52 low-wage service workers interviewed first in Summer 2019 and then in the last two weeks of April 2020, we argue that COVID-19 has created new and heightened dimensions of precarity for low-wage workers. They experience (1) moments of what we call precarious stability, in which…
Impossible Choices
A total of 16 percent of hourly workers and 36 percent of workers paid on some other basis experience unstable work schedules due to irregular, on-call, rotating, or split shifts, which negatively impact workers’ ability to manage family responsibilities, finances, and health. Primarily drawing on data from in-depth interviews conducted in Oregon in 2016, this study expands research on how workers navigate through “bad jobs” by exploring the ways…
Censorship and Regulation
Michel Foucault intended the method he called “genealogy” to challenge the linear and rationalizing impulses of historical design. Genealogy was meant to embrace the marginal, accidental, and failed as constitutive of what “was” and “is.” Perhaps it is fitting, then, that a genealogy would explore a subfield fairly obsessed with the value of what is lost, cut, missing, or strays from the path: that of media regulation.The earliest studies of film…
Agony and Avoidance
Pixar films expand the limitations typically binding G-rated films by employing a postmodern adaptation of the “principle of deniability,” a producer-designed multivalence. This deniability allows adult spectators to identify with the object, to distance themselves from “grown-up” cinema, and to contemplate adult fears through the guise of animation.Keywords:: animationapocalypsecensorshipnoirPixarspectatorship NotesNotes1.

More than a "Passing" Sophistication
More than a "Passing" Sophistication:Dress, Film Regulation, and the Color Line in 1930s American Films Ellen Scott (bio) When we think of African American representations of 1930s Hollywood, we likely first envision the maid or butler—Hattie McDaniel as Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939) or Gertrude Howard as Beulah Thorndyke in I'm No Angel (1933). These films arguably normalize black servitude as an inevitable part of an intractable and glamor…
Family Environments of Children with School Behavior Problems
The Family Environment Scale was administered to 46 mothers whose children exhibited behavior problems at school and who had been referred for psychoeducational evaluation. When scores were compared with the norms for both nondistressed and distressed families, significant differences were noted on nine and five of the 10 subscales. Such findings suggest that this sample exhibits family environments that are more structured than those of the norm…
