Plastic bodies: Petra Hůlová on the Banality of Desire
The Czech novelist, playwright, and screenplay author Petra Hůlová breaks social and sexual taboos with a sense of abandon. Her female narrators’ stories unfold within historical narratives inscribed along political binaries of East and West, socialism and capitalism. This article investigates the context of Hůlová’s narrator in Umělohmotný třípokoj (2004), a novel written at the nexus of neoliberalism, postsocialism, and feminism. A sex worker’s…
Gendered identities and German Islamophobias
The German political imaginary and reality increasingly equate the presence of Muslim ‘Others’ within and beyond national borders with the Islamization and ‘Global Islam’, deemed an existential and national security threat. While Islamophobia assumes universal characteristics, its expression within national narratives impacts political discourse. This article explores narrative strategies employed by East and West Germans who assert aspects of et…

Pegida as a European Far-Right Populist Movement
Historian Geoff Eley argues that the idea of Europe has contracted from the ideal of a pluralistic community with the potential to integrate cultural “Others” to a “narrowly understood market-defined geopolitical drive for the purposes of competitive globalization.” Global deregulation, he states, has produced streams of labor migrants and the tightening of Europe’s external borders, while the economic expansion of Europe to more member countries…
Mobilizing Meanings: Translocal Identities of the Far Right Web
Europe has witnessed the rise of a multigenerational, populist shift to the right, characterized by the unapologetic deployment of extremist symbols, ideologies, and politics, but also by repudiations of right-wing labels associated with racism, xenophobia, and nativist entitlements. The political lexicon of far-right rhetoric derives its considerable persuasive force from mobilizing and normalizing extremist views. This article examines the intr…
Berlin without Borders? Urban Anthems in Twenty-First-Century Popular Music
Popular Berlin “anthems” both attest and contribute to the social, political, and cultural tensions that accompany the complex process of identity formation in the urban capital and the projection of its global image. An integral aspect of its cosmopolitan identity, Berlin hosts an international party scene that incorporates the city's history of divisions and borders into a discourse about its own brand of “hipness.” This article analyzes severa…
Does Personality Matter? Applying Holland's Typology to Analyze Students' Self-Selection into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Majors
This study utilized John Holland's personality typology and the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to examine the factors that may affect students' self-selection into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. Results indicated that gender, race/ethnicity, high school achievement, and personality type were statistically significant factors in increasing or decreasing a student's odds of enrolling in a STEM major. Specifi…

Liberation and Containment: Re-visualising the Eugenic and Evolutionary Ideal of the Fizkul'turnitsa in 1944
In July 1944 cross-country races and parades of physical culturists were prominently used to celebrate Soviet liberation from German occupation. While journalistic accounts stressed the manly health and vigour of the victorious Red Army, press photographs in Pravda and Red Sport, and Aleksandr Deneika's monumental painting 'Liberation', emphasised images of the young female physical culturist. This essay explores what a contextualised analysis of…

Manche Menschen werden Brüder: Contemporary Music and New Fraternities
In this article, I analyze the social and cultural trends from within the music scene that counter challenges the moderate and extreme right. This music centers on the issue of ethnic exclusivity and aggressively insists on accepting Germany as a diverse society, however uncomfortable a fit that may still be for many. Certain bands and musicians move from politics to identity politics, in an attempt to generate a discourse about racism and nation…

Parading Myths: Imaging New Soviet Woman on Fizkul′turnik's Day, July 1944
The Promised Land? Feminist Writing in the German Democratic Republic
Win some, lose some: Women’s status in the field of human resources in the 1990s
Drawing on a sample of 313 human resource professionals who graduated from a university‐based Master’s degree program in human resources over a 20‐year period, this study examines how the rewards and emotional labour content of jobs varied by gender within the field of human resources. After controlling for experience, results indicated no significant gender differences in either the intrinsic or extrinsic rewards available to human resource prof…

Revisiting Gender Variation in Training
The purposes of this current study are twofold. First, inspired by data emerging from the United Kingdom and Australia, we seek to confirm whether the incidence of training was higher for US women than for US men during the 1990s. Second, we explore the relationship between the comparatively greater incidence of training for women and occupational segregation. Our data confirm that overall levels of training participation were higher for women th…

Continuing Progress? Trends in Occupational Segregation in the United States over the 1970s and 1980s
This study uses comparable data on 470 detailed occupations from the 1970, 1980, and 1990 Censuses to analyze trends in occupational segregation in the United States in the 1980s and compare them in detail to the 1970s experience of declining segregation. We find that the trend towards reduced segregation did indeed continue into the 1980s at only a slightly slower pace. In both decades, changes in sex composition within occupations accounted for…
On the Margins of Discourse? Visions of New Soviet Woman in Socialist Realistic Painting 1949–50
This paper questions the marginalization of representations of women implied by the emphasis on New Man as signifier of Soviet identity in critical revisions of the Socialist Realist canon 1949–50. The approach, partly informed by feminist critical theory and pluralist, rather than totalitarian, models of Stalinist power, also engages critically with marginalizing tendencies in some recent histories. It suggests the existence of a significant dis…
Marguerite Bourgeoys and Montreal, 1640-1665
St Marguerite Bourgeoys (1620-1700), canonized in 1982, is a key figure in Canadian and religious history as a founder of Montreal and of the international order the Congrégation de Notre-Dame de Montréal, one of the first uncloistered religious communiti
The Influence of Work History Factors on Arbitration Outcomes
This simulation study examines how work history factors affect arbitrators' decisions in absenteeism discharge cases. The authors analyze the responses of 179 arbitrators to survey questions concerning 32 hypothetical absence discharge cases in which four work history factors were systematically varied. Work history factors and due process considerations both are found to have influenced arbitral awards. Due process considerations (the degree to …

The Production of Meaning in Jurek Becker's Schlaflose Tage
Throughout his literary itinerary, Jurek Becker has explored truth and lies in an ethical, aesthetic, and political context (Wetzel et al. 265-292; Lauckner 141-154). At the same time, his work exerts pressure on contemporary discourse about literature to examine its object, fiction, in these terms. In his prose narratives, Becker questions the necessity and legitimacy of story-telling; the acts of speaking and writing themselves become part of t…

Tragic thought: Romantic nationalism in the german tradition
Thus I came among the Germans... It is a severe word, but I will say it, because it is true. I can think of no people more torn than the Germans. You see craftsmen, but no human beings, xhinkers, but no human beings, priests, but no human beings, masters and slaves, youths and elders, but no human beings--is it not like a battle field where hands and arms and all severed limbs lie about while the life blood flows into the sand? --from Hrlderlin's…
