Interview with Nicos Poulantzas (April 1979)
Nicos Poulantzas talks to Stuart Hall and Alan Hunt New introduction by Dave Featherstone and Lazaros Karaliotas Nicos Poulantzas was one of the most influential figures in the renewal in European Marxism in the 1970s, and this interview shows some of the ways in which left political discourse in Europe in the 1970s was shaped by widely shared trajectories and contexts. Poulantzas was a member of the Greek Communist Party of the Interior, which, …
Understanding Impacts of SNAP Fruit and Vegetable Incentive Program at Farmers’ Markets
Disparities in healthy food access and consumption are a major public health concern. This study reports the findings from a two-year randomized control trial conducted at 77 farmers' markets (FMs) in 13 states and the District of Columbia that sought to understand the impact of fruit and vegetable (FV) incentive vouchers, randomly issued at varied incentive levels to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, for use at FMs. Me…
Novel biotechnologies for eradicating wasps
Aligned with the New Zealand government’s ‘Predator‐Free 2050’ target for Aotearoa New Zealand, National Science Challenge: Our Biological Heritage supports research into five distinct ‘novel biotechnological controls’ of exotic wasps. A framing question within this project is which controls are considered ‘socially acceptable’ and thus suitable for further development to control and potentially eradicate introduced wasps? How can the public answ…

Rights and Social Movements

The implications drawn from them, then be used to take a new view of the rights debate. The chapter discusses to advance an unambiguously positive case for the role of rights-based strategies in the struggle for social change. It discusses advance and defend the thesis that to achieve the project of counter-hegemonic politica…

How Emotions Matter
The Effect of Pleasure Reading on Japanese University EFL Learners' Reading Rates
Few second-language (L2) reading studies have examined the relationship between reading large amounts of text and fluency, and those studies that have tend to be problematic in terms of their designs and/or analyses. In order to address this lack of empirical L2 reading fluency research, this study investigates the effects of a 1-year pleasure reading program on the reading rate development of first-year Japanese university students (N = 97). The…
Iron Age Settlement at Blackstone, Worcestershire
Aerial photography in 1957 resulted in the discovery of a rectangular double-ditched enclosure overlooking the Severn floodplain near Bewdley, Worcestershire (UK). Excavation in the 1970s, in advance of gravel extraction, provided limited evidence of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age activity prior to occupation in the later Iron Age, when the enclosure was established. This comprised a ditch and bank, and later a palisade and ditch, with sing…

The Fellatio ‘Epidemic’
Several decades after oral sex became an ordinary part of the heterosexual repertoire, anxieties about an ‘epidemic’ of casual adolescent fellatio have found public expression in several countries. We examine media reactions to the case of a high-school celebrity athlete accused of receiving oral sex from underage girls. We follow Foucault in arguing that sexuality is constituted discursively but reject his claim that the erotic arts are absent f…

From Moral Science to Moral Regulation
Risk and Moralization in Everyday Life
From sinners to degenerates
This article explores two very different forms in which immoral conduct was problematized over the course of the 19th century. It does this by contrasting the sexual purity politics of the Vice Society and the medicalization of morality as `moral insanity'. Early in the century the Vice Society promoted coercive legislation with the aim of `suppressing vice'. From mid-century, moral insanity theories sought to grapple with vice by disaggregating …
State formation from below
This essay focuses on the state-formation theory through the lens of the Turkish state-formation experience. The movements of resistance against state-formation in Turkey such as the internal struggles based on ideological and cultural factors, social banditry, military desertion, ethnic and religiously inspired uprisings, and non-Muslim and non-Turkish opposition are analyzed in the context of a model which has been developed in this study. Acco…
Regulating Heterosocial Space
This essay proposes a reading of the vice commission reports of the early 20th century USA and Canada as exemplifying projects to regulate 'heterosocial space'. 'Heterosocial space' refers to the shifting and changing sites where young women and men come into contact and where transactions with potentially sexual dimensions arise or which others define in sexualized terms. 'Space' not only has a spatial, but also a temporal dimension exemplified …

Citizenship
Recent attempts to reinvigorate citizenship have been rooted in a romantic impulse. The current nostalgia over citizenship strives to recuperate the participatory involvement of the small community with face-to-face interaction. This article advances a conception of citizenship that attends more closely to the agonistic ways that citizens have been historically constructed in order to challenge the romanticism of civic republicanism. We draw on t…

Discourse, Ideology, Discourse, Ideology, Discourse, Ideology
Modern sosyal teori 'söylem' ve 'ideoloji'yle dolup taşıyor.İki kavram, bazen birbirinin yerine kullanılıyor, bazen karşı karşıya getiriliyor.Bu yazıda, bu iki kavramın günümüzde yürütülen tartışmalardaki rolünü anlamaya çalışıyoruz.Bunu yaparken, farklı teorik geleneklerden çıkan iki anahtar terimimizin birbirinden ayrı tutulabileceği gibi birlikte de çok işe yarayabileceğini ileri sürerek söylem ve ideoloji ilişkisini geri kazanmayı deniyoruz
The Ideology of Law
In this paper I note the growth of analyses of law that focus upon its ideological character and content, and I identify problems and difficulties manifest in the ideological analysis in recent critical and Marxist texts. The paper argues that work focusing upon the ideological character of law realizes significant advances over that produced by the more orthodox approaches within the sociology of law and jurisprudence employing normative analysi…

Official Graffiti of the Everyday
This article focuses attention on "official graffiti" or regulatory signs typified by highway signs and the most invasive and emblematic piece of official graffiti, the prohibition circle with its diagonal red slash used in the iconic representation No Smoking. Establishing the range and pervasiveness of official graffiti in everyday life (as prohibitions, warnings, advisories, instructions, etc.), the authors approach these visual manifestations…

Identity versus Citizenship
The recent surge of theoretical interest in citizenship has been shaped in important ways by a growing sensitivity to the politics of identity. Citizenship, conceived as a matrix of rights and obligations governing the members of a political community, exists in tension with the heterogeneity of social life and the multiple identities that arise therefrom. This tension expresses itself in the clash between the 'universal' citizen and numerous dis…

Moral Regulation and Making-Up the New Person
Today we are witnessing a significant moralization of social conflicts; projects of moral regulation abound over pornography, drugs, child abuse and many other issues. It is therefore pertinent to examine the nature and mechanisms of moral regulation. It is important to take account of the fact that moral regulation does not only involve a specific moral arena, but rather is a component of all fields of social relations. For this reason Antonio G…
The goverance of consumption
This paper situates itself in the sociology of goverance. Goverance is idenified as concerted action through ‘projects’ conceived as practices and discourses directed towards the control of other social agens ad instituions. The paper takes sumptuary laws regulating he dress, apperrance and consumption practices of individuals as a case study. The analysis advanced focuses, in particular, on the discourses within which sumptuary laws are located …

The Purity Wars
This article seeks to understand the contemporary prevalence of projects of moral regulation. It explores the potential and limitations of accounts that point to similarities between today's moral politics and the sexual purity campaigns of the late 19th century. It explores two recent significant, but very different, works on the history of moral regulation movements: Nicola Beisel's Imperiled Innocents (1997) and David Wagner's The New Temperan…
Law and The Constitution of Soviet Society
In this paper we investigate a largely unrecognized but nevertheless important chapter in the legal and political history of Soviet Marxism: the simultaneously coherent and contradictory theoretical tendencies in Lenin's pronouncements about law, legality, and delegalization ("the withering away of law") during the socialist transition. We identify and discuss these tendencies as they unfold against the historical background of the Russian Revolu…

The Critique of Law
Critical legal theory is the enfant terrible of contemporary legal studies. It delights in shocking what it takes to be the legal establishment.' Its roots lie in a deep sense of dissatisfaction with the existing state of legal scholarship. These dissatisfactions and grievances are many and varied; some are more concerned with the state of legal education, others with the political conservatism of legal education, whilst others experience frustra…
Behavioral Sociology of Law
Indeed the main trend of responses to Black's work has taken the form of attempts to empirically test some of Black's major theses.[1] These studies broadly accept the methodology he proposes and, through application to a variety of empirical data, concern themselves with seeking to test the hypotheses advanced. Interesting though this work is, it runs the risk of accepting without discussion or debate the theoretical process which produces the t…

What's Wrong with Rights?
In the spring of 1988, swarms of police descended on the ghettos and barrios of Los Angeles.The action was an almost military response to the growth of gang violence and, significantly, the encroachment of that violence into once secure white middle class communities.This response, labeled "Operation Hammer," has been credited with massive infringements on the civil liberties of minority youth.

Law and the Condensation of Power
Susan Silbey and Jonathan Simon in their responses to my article have been generous in finding merit in my general thesis that there are grounds for attempting a retrieval of law from the initial expulsion that it suffers in the main body of Foucault's work. I am thus excused from the need to offer a general defense of my thesis. The issues that they respectively raise present me with the opportunity to take my project a step forward by exploring…

A Socialist Interest in Law
