Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago's Southwest Side is one of the last remaining footholds for the city's white working class, a little-studied and little-understood segment of the American population. This book paints a nuanced and complex portrait of the firefighters, police officers, stay-at-home mothers, and office workers living in the stable working-class community known as Beltway. Building on the classic Chicago School of urban studies and incorporating new perspectives from cultural geography and sociology, Maria Kefalas considers the significance of home, community, and nation for Beltway residents.

Download or read book Living and Working with the New Medical Technologies written by Margaret M. Lock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-31 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stimulating collection of essays, a product of face-to-face dialogues among anthropologists, sociologists, and philosopher-historians, focuses on the newly created biomedical technologies and their application in practice. Drawing on ethnographic and historical case studies, the authors show how biomedical technologies are produced through the agencies of tools and techniques, scientists and doctors, funding bodies, patients, clients, and the public. Despite shared concerns, the contributions reveal that the authors have achieved no consensus about the objectives of their research. Deep epistemological divides clearly remain, making for provocative reading.

Book excerpt: An argument against the ideology of domesticity that separates work from home; lavishly illustrated, with architectural proposals for alternate approaches to working and living. Despite the increasing numbers of people who now work from home, in the popular imagination the home is still understood as the sanctuary of privacy and intimacy. Living is conceptually and definitively separated from work. This book argues against such a separation, countering the prevailing ideology of domesticity with a series of architectural projects that illustrate alternative approaches. Less a monograph than a treatise, richly illustrated, the book combines historical research and design proposals to reenvision home as a cooperative structure in which it is possible to live and work and in which labor is socialized beyond the family—freeing inhabitants from the sense of property and the burden of domestic labor. The projects aim to move the house beyond the dichotomous logic of male/female, husband/wife, breadwinner/housewife, and private/public. They include the reinvention of single-room occupancy as a new model for affordable housing; the reimagining of the simple tower-and-plinth prototype as host to a multiplicity of work activities and enlivening street life; and a plan for a modular, adaptable structure meant to house a temporary dweller. All of these design projects conceive of the house not as a commodity, the form of which is determined by its exchange value, but as an infrastructure defined by its use value.

Download or read book The Cloudbase Chronicles Life at the Top written by Harry W. III Budge and published by Harry Budge. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its completion in 1969, the John Hancock Center has ranked among the world's most exclusive addresses. Home to some of Chicago's loftiest, most extravagant condominiums, this city-within-a-building is off-limits to all but the very wealthy and well connected. Now, Harry W. Budge III-the building's chief engineer-takes you inside "Big John" as he describes high-rise living as you've never experienced.The Cloudbase Chronicles: Life at the Top details Budge's very public life as the building's go-to guy for everything from bomb threats to plumbing mishaps to missing pets. As he rushes to solve emergencies both imagined (helping a resident figure out a food processor) and real (quashing an illicit nudist pool party), Budge explores the human side of what it takes to make this high-rise run. The memorable cast of residents, staffers and real estate agents who populate it reveals a building that pulses with vibrancy and life-and more than a few hilarious situations.At the same time, The Cloudbase Chronicles explores issues of wealth and class, as Budge's dual citizenship-as on-premises resident and "servant"-often complicates his relationship with his neighbors. What emerges is an eye-opening account that will change your perspective on this global icon-and skyscrapers in general-forever.
Download or read book Working and Living in the Shadow of Economic Fragility written by Marion G. Crain and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since the Great Depression of the 1930s has the United States faced such a prolonged period of high unemployment and underemployment. Recovery from the "Great Recession" that began in 2008 has been slow, and is projected to remain sluggish over the next several years, while another shock to the global economy could erase the meager gains of the past months. Economic conditions remain fragile and employment challenges show no sign of letting up. With persistently high unemployment and underemployment-and growing inequality in wages-an increasing number of American families are no longer adequately supported by employment income and basic benefits. Many older workers have "retired" before they are ready, and many young workers cannot find a foothold in the job market. A silent crisis is underway, with huge social and economic costs for the nation. Working and Living in the Shadow of Economic Fragility examines the current state of employment through historical, macroeconomic, cultural, sociological and policy lenses, in order to address fundamental questions about the role and value of work in America today. The book offers suggestions for how to address the short- and long-term challenges of rebuilding a society of opportunity with meaningful and sustaining jobs as the foundation of the American middle-class.
