Alienation: The critique that refuses to disappear
Although it is often condemned as an imprecise concept, alienation continues to flourish as critique in contemporary philosophy, theology, and psychology, as well as in sociology. Historically originating in Roman law, where it referred to the transfer of land ownership, alienation has since been applied extensively to analyses of labor relations, politics, and culture. In the 19th century, Marx showed that workers' alienation, their dehumanizati…

Sociology of everyday life
Everyday life has inspired much sociological theory and is now a recognized branch of the discipline. Here we trace evidence of the salience of everyday life in general sociological theory, look critically at theories specific to analyses of everyday life; then survey recent research. In closing, we look to the future of the field

False Consciousness: How `Ideology' Emerges from the Encounter of Body Practices and Hegemonic Ideas
The assumption that there is a break between what people think they are doing and how they are living, i.e. what is 'really' happening to them, is the cornerstone of a sociological explanation of alienation. This assumption has been subjected to criticism, both from the point of view of quantitative researchers who ask people directly about their alienation and philosophers who reproach critical theorists for showing disrespect for people's agenc…
Introductory Background
The sources for studies of alienation can be found in the theoretical explanations of modernity proposed by thinkers in the 19th century. Following on extensive changes in the processes of production in the 20th century and the ongoing digitalization of industry into the current century, alienation has taken on new forms, with a focus on the management and exploitation of the body. This article introduces these themes and how they are examined in…
Radicals in Spite of Themselves: Ultra-Orthodox Women Working Outside the Haredi Community
In this book Devorah Kalekin-Fisman and Karlheinz Schneider analyze how the relationship between the traditional and the modern is unfolding in a particular milieu by centering on the Haredi women in Israel who become part of the national (rather than the community) work force. The book is based on analyses of interviews with people in the Haredi world. The authors' goal is to attain an understanding of what women's work means to the women, to th…

Crossing Borders: Toward a trans-disciplinary scientific identity
For several decades, researchers have addressed the topic of disciplines: how they come into existence, how they are institutionalized, and how they change over time. These discussions have focused on new disciplines and shifting paradigms in the natural and the social sciences, as well as in the humanities. Many of the shifts seem to require increasing reliance on what has been called interdisciplinary research--research carried out in teams who…

Same or different? A comparative study of habitus—ultra-orthodox and secular students of teaching
Although the state ideology assumes that by virtue of their affiliation with the “same” religion, Jewish citizens of Israel are a culturally homogeneous population, the school system makes room for institutions with different orientations to the faith. To assess whether teachers in schools that differ in their approach to religion are likely to educate children toward a unified Israeli–Jewish culture, we investigated aspects of the habitus, the c…
Latent Messages: The Acoustical Environments of Kindergartens in Israel and West Germany
This study of kindergartens in West Germany and Israel traced the ways in which educational policies and pedagogical codes are translated into kindergarten performances. As a test of the effects of different pedagogical codes, the author mapped patterns of dominance-control and patterns of action in the acoustical environments of kindergarten sessions and analyzed the overall acoustical context independently. The author concludes that the results…
De-Alienation as an Educational Objective
Bereavement and mourning in nonreligious kibbutzim
Kibbutzim are relatively closed communities, a unique social structure committed to an ideology of equality and collectivism, where cooperation is the dominant mode of social relations. These sentiments explain the commitment of the kibbutz as a community to providing support networks for members throughout their lives. Furthermore, the official world view of the kibbutz is the belief in science and reason rather than in institutionalized religio…
Music and Not-Music in Kindergartens
This paper presents an exploratory case study of the constitution of music in kindergartens. An analysis of sonal patterning showed that with the aid of minimal criteria of intentionality—intended pitch and intended rhythm—varieties of typified music making could be discerned. These criteria, however, were not found to be necessarily congruent with those employed by kindergarten teachers, whose own culturally determined criteria serve to delineat…

Making Sense of Constant Change: Israeli Sociology between Apologetics and Radical Critique
Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has been undergoing constant change associated with the government policy of in-migration, the 'ingathering of the exiles' along with the efforts of the state to meet the challenges of a modern, globalizing economy. For a long time, the contribution of sociologists was in the vein of apologetics. They formulated functionalist explanations to show that new immigrants had to be pressured into assimilation. Homog…
Diagnosing inequalities in schooling: Ogbu’s orientation and wider implications
Throughout his life, John Ogbu worked untiringly to diagnose the educational problems of minorities, with the goal of remedying them. Although his earliest works propose a comprehensive anthropological approach, his last works seem to settle into exhortations to parents and teachers to put more pressure on (involuntary) minority children whose achievements are low; and to pupils to stop grumbling and get down to taking their schoolwork seriously.…
What Is Really Necessary
Agitation et identité - Mouvements sociaux en Israël
Cet article examine l'identité nationale en tant que produit du conflit entre les différents groupes politiques en Israël. Pour cela, trois mouvements sociaux seront étudiés : Shalom Ahchav (le Mouvement pour une Paix immédiate), Gush Emunim (le Bloc des Loyautés) et Sons of the Village (les Fils du Village) à partir des catégories analytiques élaborées par Gerth and Mills (1951) et Boutinet (1980). En dépit de leurs positions qui rejettent "l'Es…

Désaliénation - Pour une conscience libérée dans l'éducation
Le but de cet article est de donner une base théorique qui puisse favoriser la désaliénation par l'éducation. Dans ce cadre, l'aliénation et la désaliénation seront décrites comme deux aspects d'un phénomène synthétique : processus, produit et structure. Ce cadre a été établi à partir d'une confrontation de l'aliénation en tant que relations objectives (Marx), état ressenti subjectivement (Seeman) et thème de socialisation (Erikson, Heller). Les …

Systems, Situations and the Individual: An Integrated View of Alienation as Related to Migrants
Statistics of migration are gross indicators of the extent to which governments have persistently initiated and enabled (or prevented) in‐ and out‐migration (Castles, 1984; International Labour Office, 1969; 1989; Lucassen, 1987). In the sociological literature, people who move are summarily described as ‘strangers,’ ‘sojourners,’ ‘marginal persons,’ ‘guest workers,’ ‘asylum‐seekers,’ ‘resettlers,’ or ‘refugees’ (Emminghaus, 1989; Siu, 1952; Wolf…

The Teacher: Government official or professional with a mission
A contradiction exists in Israeli society between the universalistic ideology that recognizes basic rights for all and the particularistic ethno-national Zionist ideology that grants rights only to citizens. In education, the inconsistency is manifested when the state has to provide education for those who are not regarded as belonging to the ethno-national collective group, among them children of foreign workers, children of Palestinian collabor…

Trio: Three (Auto)Biographical Voices and Issues in Curriculum
The three voices presented here are those of women teachers affiliated with Hebrew-speaking and Arabic-speaking branches of the Israeli educational system at different levels. Brought together when a curriculum on multiculturalism oriented to narrative as a teaching tool was implemented and tested in an in-service programme, each of the three had worked earlier on teams that compiled curricula with attention to cultural differences. In analysing …
