La ética acelerante y el nuevo espíritu del academicismo
La academia contemporánea ha adquirido un carácter vertiginoso, donde no basta explicar su transformación apelando al capitalismo académico o al productivismo científico. Lo que realmente la atraviesa es una ética acelerante, una mentalidad que premia la velocidad, la eficiencia y la productividad constante. A partir del marco teórico de la aceleración desarrollado por Hartmut Rosa, se ensaya una teoría de la aceleración académica que combina ele…

Teoría Social Hoy. Una Conversación con Hartmut Rosa
Andreas Reckwitz and you share the motivation of consolidating a theory of society, and with it a theory of Modernity, as the central task of sociology (Reckwitz & Rosa, 2021).The public interest in a theory of this type, in all-encompassing analyses and interpretations of the societies of the present, as well as in the 'longue durée' of socio-historical processes, has intensified in the world over the past decade.Why do you think that the intere…
Cien años de Teoría Crítica: De Horkheimer a Rosa
En este escrito de ocasión que conmemora los cien años de la Escuela de Frankfurt se ofrece una introducción histórico-conceptual a la Teoría Crítica como corriente intelectual dentro de la sociología y de la filosofía social en general, desde sus inicios en la década de 1920 hasta el presente, pasando revista a cuatro generaciones de pensadores, con especial énfasis en la última
Vietnamese Americans: Patterns of Resettlement and Socioeconomic Adaptation in the United States
As of November 1978, more than 170,000 Indochinese refugees had come to the United States after a traumatic flight from their native land, arriving with little preparation for the changes they would face. This book documents and analyzes this unique migration and, employing data from a national sample, reports on the changing socioeconomic status of the Vietnamese refugees. Dr. Montero presents and analyzes data on the refugees' employment, educa…
La moderna ciencia social como indagación sobre el conflicto y la cohesión social
El artículo ofrece un amplio cuadro sobre las más influyentes teorías del conflicto y la cohesión social que se han elaborado durante los últimos cinco siglos, como el hegelianismo, el marxismo, el funcionalismo estructuralista, entre otros, con el propósito de enmarcar las discusiones actuales sobre estos fenómenos dentro de las ciencias sociales. Esta revisión general toma la forma de un diálogo con autores representativos de la ciencia socia…
Aceleración social, modernidades múltiples y culturas democráticas: Reexaminando la teoría de la modernidad de Hartmut Rosa
La teoría de la modernidad de Hartmut Rosa combina enfoques analíticos y normativos, esto es, elementos estructurales y culturales mediante los cuales es capaz de desvelar los modos dominantes bajo los que operan las sociedades modernas de la actualidad. Al mismo tiempo, esta teoría parece presentar ciertos límites cuando intenta hacer sentido de las culturas políticas nacionales, para lo cual se requiere adoptar un enfoque cultural e históricame…

Acceleration, Alienation, and Resonance. Reconstructing Hartmut Rosa’s Theory of Modernity
The article presents in an interpretative and critical way the main theses structuring the work of Hartmut Rosa, namely: his theory of modern acceleration; his observations on the types of alienation that arise with it; and the forms of overcoming a state of alienation both within social life and in terms of the relationship nature-humanity, under the concept of resonance. Issues such as modern temporal structures (acceleration), the lack of sync…
Cultures of democracy
El concepto de democracia en el pensamiento político de Charles Taylor
El artículo reconstruye el concepto de democracia de Charles Taylor, distinguiendo dos fases en la elaboración de este. En la primera, un joven Taylor insatisfecho con las perspectivas que ofrecía una concepción en boga puramente instrumental de la democracia y al mismo tiempo crítico hacia los regímenes totalitarios de los cuales le tocó ser testigo, concibe una democracia capaz de compatibilizar el ideal del autogobierno ciudadano con el plural…
America's Progress in Achieving the Legalization of Same-Gender Adoption: Analysis of Public Opinion, 1994 to 2012
The struggle to achieve the legalization of same-gender adoption is ongoing. Notably, not until 2011 was adoption by a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individual legalized in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and adoption by same-gender couples is still illegal in many states. Anti-adoption forces are ever-present: From 2011 to 2013, at least five states passed laws granting faith-based agencies the right to refuse service to sam…
History, Critique, Social Change and Democracy An Interview with Charles Taylor
In your works, you make a strong claim about the usefulness -if not inevitability -of historical approaches to the social sciences and philosophy.Before we go into more detail -do you think there is a central reason of why to make use of history in general?There is a central reason: the inevitability of the narrative as a way of self-understanding.You could put it this way: as a theory of natural science, the inverse-square law is completely time…
Attitudes Toward Same-Gender Adoption and Parenting: An Analysis of Surveys from 16 Countries
Globally, little progress has been made toward the legalization of same-gender adoption. Of the nearly 200 United Nations members, only 15 countries with populations of 3 million or more have approved LGBT adoption without restrictions. The objectives of this paper are, first, to provide a brief background of the obstacles confronting same-gender adoption including the role of adoption agencies and parenting issues; second, to discuss the current…
Some Elements of a Cultural Theory of Social Change
Same-Gender Marriage: Implications for Social Work Practitioners
Notably, in 2013, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Minnesota became the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th states, respectively, to legalize same-gender marriage. Without legal recognition or social support from the larger society, the majority of same-gender partnerships in the U.S. are denied privileges and rights that are considered basic for heterosexual marriages. This manuscript draws from a national cross section of published survey data from…
Abortion, Partial-Birth Abortion, and Adolescent Access to Abortion: An Overview for Social Workers
Although the U.S Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in 1973, intense controversy over access, legality, and morality has persisted ever since that landmark decision. National opinion data collected from 1975 to 2007 show that a majority of Americans support a woman's right to an abortion, but this right is increasingly under attack, and recent proposed changes to abortion access are not in line with how most Americans feel. Thi…

Survivorship and Inheritance Rights for Same-Gender Couples: Relevance to Social Workers
Californians voted in November 2008 to ban the right to same-gender marriage in California. This paper summarizes data on changes in societal attitudes relative to homosexuals, same-gender couples, and their civil rights as reflected in Gallup and Princeton Survey Research Associates International poll data over the years through 2011. These findings report deeply entrenched and enduring divisions in American attitudes toward the rights and statu…
End-of-Life Issues in the United States after Terri Schiavo: Implications for Social Work Practice
The very public death of Terri Schiavo in 2005 alerted Americans to what is a growing ethical, medical, and social crisis: the status of end-of-life issues and decisions in the United States. Currently, Oregon is the only state to give terminally ill patients the right to end their lives, with physicians' help, if they so choose. Public opinion data from 1977 to the present show that Americans support greater rights for individuals facing end-of-…
Impact of Managed Health Care on the United States: Implications for Universal Health Care System
National public opinion polls conducted from 1991 to 2006 found that Americans believe that the quality of health care in the United States has been critically affected by managed health care. Nearly one third of those surveyed have delayed medical treatment because of the cost, and over 1 out of 10 Americans report that the quality of the care they receive is poor. Managed health care has limited the coverage and choice of medical treatment and …
Stem Cell Research and Biopsychosocial Perspectives From the Sciences, Government, and Community
Stem cell research is a fairly new technological advancement that has been accompanied by a wide range of support and scrutiny. On February 22, 1997, Dolly, the sheep, was successfully cloned in Scotland, while controversy erupted over the moral, ethical, and social implications of creating life. Though many agree that using human embryos is morally acceptable, the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and European countries have pass…
North Americans' Attitudes Toward Illegal Drugs
Public opinion polls conducted from 1969 to 2003 found a variety of opinions on the use, possession, and legalization of marijuana. Public opinion about legalizing marijuana use is increasing, but it is also increasing toward harsher penalties for those who possess a small amount of marijuana. Public opinion regarding the legalization of illegal drugs appears to be influenced by the times. The majority of Americans increasingly believe that the c…
Risk Factors for Alcohol Use in the United States, 1947-2005
National public opinion polls that were conducted from 1947 to 2005 found that Americans' reported alcohol consumption remained fairly constant. Although alcohol use has remained consistent, the findings reveal that consumption levels vary by age, gender, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The results also show an increase in the number of reported problems within families that are due to excessive alcohol consumption. This article examin…
Americans' Attitudes Toward Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide, 1936-2002
Public opinion polls conducted from 1936 to 2002 found that Americans support both euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Although public opinion regarding end-oflife decisions appears to have been influenced by the events of the times, Americans have consistently favored the freedom to end one's life when the perceived quality of life has significantly diminished, either by one's own hand or with the assistance of a physician. This paper ind…

The Contact Hypothesis: Social and Economic Contact and Generational Changes in the Study of Black Anti-Semitism
Studies indicate that respondents experiencing equal-status contact across ethnic lines are more likely to hold tolerant attitudes toward minorities than those not having been exposed to such interaction. This paper extends the research on this proposition in three ways. We examine: (1) responses of blacks reporting equal-status contact with Jews; (2) effects of equal-status contact compared with other types of reported associations with Jews suc…

Crime Rates and Confidence in the Police: America's Changing Attitudes toward Crime and Police, 1972-1999
This paper examines American national public opinion on crime and the American police force. The data were gathered from published opinion polls of national samples of adults taken from 1972-1999. The findings reveal that Americans have contradictory perceptions regarding crime in their area, crime in our nation, confidence in the police, and the honesty of the nation's police officers. A growing number of respondents report that crime seems to b…
America's Changing Attitudes Toward Welfare and Welfare Recipients, 1938-1995
This paper examines American national public opinion on welfare, welfare recipients, and the government's role in welfare programs. The data were gathered from published public opinion polls of national samples of adults taken between 1938 and 1995. The findings indicate that public opinion has remained relatively stable over this 57-year period, with the majority of Americans believing that the government has a responsibility to help those in ne…
Assimilation and Educational Achievement: The Case of the Second Generation Japanese-American
A review of the literature reveals three conflicting hypotheses concerning Japanese-American educational achievement. Data from a three-generational, national sample of Japanese-Americans are examined to determine the correlates of the second-generation respondents' (the Nisei) educational achievement. Employing four measures of assimilation—cultural, structural, marital, and identificational—the findings suggest that the greater the assimilation…
Immigration and Immigrants: Trends in American Public Opinion, 1964-1999
Public opinion polls conducted from 1964 to 1999 found that Americans' desire to reduce immigration increased dramatically, but there existed a wide variation regarding which nationalities were to be restricted. Furthermore, the majority believed that many immigrants wind up on welfare and raise taxes for Americans and, hence, cause problems for the United States. This article reports on these findings and their implications for current political…
Life and Death Decisions: America's Changing Attitudes Towards Genetic Engineering, Genetic Testing and Abortion, 1972-98
This article examines American public opinion towards genetic engineering, genetic testing and abortion. The findings indicate that the American public is increasingly ambivalent regarding these procedures. Contextually, these findings are discussed in the light of changing social and political attitudes towards genetic engineering, genetic testing and abortion

America's Changing Attitudes Toward Black-White Relations, 1958–2001
National public opinion polls conducted from 1958 to 2001 found that Americans' attitudes toward Black-White relations in the United States had evolved, although some traditional attitudes remained the same. This article examines Black-White opinions regarding four contemporary issues. Respondents were asked to report their attitude toward job satisfaction, willingness to vote for a Black president, satisfaction with their standard of living, and…
Resettling Vietnamese refugees: The service agency's role
Nearly seven years have passed since the first refugees from Vietnam began arriving in the United States, and data suggest a positive relationship between the length of time they have been in this country and the levels of employment and income they have attained. This article assesses how the refugees have adjusted to life in the United States and discusses the role of social work agencies in their resettlement
