A 'Lasting Transformation' of Capitalist Surplus
In this article I link surplus food with the politics of capitalist production and consumption in order to shed some useful light on the strange case of food not being food once it has been discarded but not thrown away. I develop an analysis of waste policy as a dimension of capitalist surplus management (after Sweezy, 1962 ) by reconfiguring Claus Offe's (1984) essay on the state and social policy and construe waste policy as effecting a 'lasti…
The Vertigo of Late Modernity by J. Young
London : Sage ( 2007 ) xii + 231pp . £21.99pb ISBN 1-4129-3573-9 Eloquent, direct, scholarly and sometimes poetic, The Vertigo of Late Modernity is the latest instalment of Jock Young's attempt to sketch the sociological contours of the contemporary world. Here, Young repaints the portrait of his version of ‘late modernity’ whose outlines were presented in The Exclusive Society (Young 1999). In some respects the present book is an autocritique of…

Postmodernizam i socijalna politika
Termin postmodernizam, koji je tek nedavno uveden u izucavanje socijalne politike, potaknuo je raspravu o njegovoj korisnosti za analizu socijalne politike. Petera Taylora-Goobyja (1994) ocjena literature koja se cesto opisuje kao postmoderna navela je da ju odbaci, smatrajuci da ona malo nudi disciplini socijalne politike. Ovaj clanak pokazuje da takvo glediste proizlazi iz zbrke oko podrucja postmodernizma, a posebice iz spajanja nekoliko razli…

Postmodernism and Social Policy
The term 'postmodernism' has recently entered the study of social policy, prompting debate over its usefulness for social policy analysis. Peter Taylor-Gooby's (1994) appraisal of literatures often described as 'postmodern' leads him to reject them as having little to offer the discipline of social policy. This article argues that such a view derives from a confusion about the field of 'postmodernism'; in particular, from a conflation of several …
The Managed Heart Revisited
In this paper I investigate emotional labour in the field of nursing. I show how new ideologies of health promotion have become attached to the prior agenda and already-embedded relationships which structure health provision. Beginning with an outline of health promotion principles and policies the paper goes on to trace how the radical dimensions of health promotion philosophies are subverted in practice by discussing data from a research projec…
Global Environmental Values and Local Contexts of Action
The effects of environmental change on individuals and societies are receiving increasing attention. Local, national and international organisations are all undertaking research and developing policy on environmental management and regulation. This level of concern appears, initially, to indicate a positive and growing awareness of human-environment interactions. However, it is not clear that in developing agenda for action the different parties …
The role of the nurse in health promotion
This paper describes and discusses issues concerned with the role of the nurse in health promotion work. It represents the first phase of a research project designed to explore this role, and presents the evolving philosophical framework for the study. The study is taking place currently in the United Kingdom and has been made possible by the (first) award of a Post Doctoral Nursing Research Fellowship to the project director. Against the backdro…
