Other Animals, Other Gardens
This essay explores the question of "animality" and "human difference" as problems for politics and philosophy. If thought is the difference between human and non-human animals, and if, as Badiou argues, "politics is a thought," does this mean that there is no "political dimension" to the human cohabitation of the earth with animals? Until we can conceive of a "common polity" among humans and other animals, there has to be a very careful consider…
Contemporary fatherhood
Time pressures around work and care within families have increased over recent decades, exacerbated by an enduring male breadwinner culture in Australia and manifested in increasingly long work hours for fathers. We identified fathers who spent relatively long hours actively caring for children despite long work hours and we compared them with other fathers who did less work, less childcare, or less of both. Using 13 waves of the Household Income…
The benefits of paid maternity leave for mothers' post-partum health and wellbeing
An unsettled bargain? Mothers' perceptions of justice and fairness in paid work
Mothers' return to work following childbirth is widely recognized as a key stage in establishing employment arrangements that disadvantage them in the long run. This article investigates why mothers accept these unequal arrangements using data from a qualitative study of 109 Australian mothers. It focuses on mothers' perceptions of the fairness and justice of the flexibility of arrangements they commonly enter into upon return to work. The articl…
Being Funny
A Zen Maoist koan: Bill is developing a crazy synthesis that brings together Buddhism, Maoism, and French Marxism, especially Badiou. Running through all three are themes concerning emptiness, letting go, and contingency. On the other hand, when Bill's mind runs toward just making up stuff that seems funny to him, it is hard for him to stop. This “essay” is a meeting point between these two activities, and at some point in the underdetermined, co…
Managers' work and retirement
Private sector managers' pathways through late career and retirement are important, but insufficiently studied. Based on a large qualitative study of retiring managers in big Canadian firms, this article explores the relationships between managers' work during their careers, their retirement transitions and their retirement activities. Three distinctive patterns of managerial work and careers are found: those of expert managers, organization mana…
How Australians order acceptance of recycled water
Ensuring adequate water supplies in urban Australia is a problem of considerable concern to State and federal governments. A variety of technical solutions are available, including water recycling. While there has been policy support for water recycling, public perceptions are seen by industry stakeholders as a significant impediment to the implementation of recycled water schemes. This article reports baseline data on attitudes to water recyclin…
Markets in Vice, Markets in Virtue
Managers after the era of organizational restructuring
Managers' careers and career orientations have changed significantly since the era of organizational change that began around 20-30 years ago. This article focuses on how managers have responded to these changes. It suggests a significant change in the kinds of 'capital' that managers mobilize, and the uses to which they put it. At least some managers now mobilize a form of 'social capital' in the form of reputations that are grounded in informal…
Markets, Contingency and Preferences
We explore work identity amongst managers, a key group in the 'new' capitalism. Some existing accounts of such workplace identities emphasize new 'cultures of control', others focus on new requirements and possibilities of individual autonomy through reflective identity formation, while others identify a crisis in workplace identity formation. Focusing on these issues, we analyse the career narratives of 136 managers and show that our empirical d…
My company or my career
This article examines the objective and subjective aspects of managerial careers in six large firms that have experienced organizational restructuring. We begin by assessing the dominant models of change in career structures, particularly those which emphasize the 'portfolio' route to career success. Although elements of the bureaucratic career remain, we find some evidence of the shift predicted by these models amongst the younger generation of …
Managerial and professional careers in an era of organisational restructuring
This article presents the results of a study of the contemporary pattern of careers, career aspirations and career orientations of managers and professionals in the context of organisational change. First, we examine the structure of careers in six large firms and see to what extent they fit the old model of 'organisation man' or the new model of the 'portfolio career'. Second, we consider whether the managers and professionals in our study perce…
The Australian Middle Class and the Asia-Pacific Century
In what directions is the Australian `new' middle class developing as we move towards the `Asia-Pacific century'? This paper reviews the basic structural features of the group during most of the 20th century, and suggests that a number of the arrangements which had delivered high status, material privileges and security to the group are becoming increasingly problematic. It examines evidence of the growing importance of Asian opportunities to the…
Knowledge, Identity and the Middle Class
This paper highlights a number of strong indications of important changes in the work and labour market experiences of professionals and managers, the core of the 'new middle class' (nmc) in most contemporary class theories. Following an outline of some of these changes, it is argued that several central theoretical strategies shared by class theorists - notably a residual 'functional essentialism' and the choice of microfoundations - prevent the…
The Australian middle class, 1986-1995
This article uses Australian Bureau of Statistics data to examine the changing fortunes of the professional-managerial middle class in Australia between the mid-1980s and the mid-1990s. It examines employment levels, gender patterns of employment, and relative earnings amongst professional and managerial workers. Results show considerable variation between occupational groups, though there is little evidence of the general 'crisis' of the middle …
The White Collar Working Class
The three waves of New Class theories
The Transformation of the American Class Structure, 1960-1980
This study explores a series of predictions concerning the likely changes in the American class structure in the 1970s made by Wright and Singelmann in their work on proletarianization. They argued that, in a period of economic stagnation such as occurred in the 1970s, there should be an acceleration of the process of proletarianization and a decline in the expansion of managerial and semiautonomous employee (or expert) locations in the class str…
