Pages : 284
Book Description
It's no secret that on so many levels our world is getting worked. And so are we. So who or what is working you: difficult circumstances, difficult people, or some unbreakable bad habit? Are you getting worked by fear, poor health, family or financial problems? The fact is, everyone gets worked. And if you're not getting worked right now, it's a good bet someone you love is. Feel like blaming your surroundings? In the beginning, God placed Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden and told them to 'work it!' Instead, in their 'perfect' world, they got worked: by the serpent, by the Garden, and yes, even by their own choices.

Making a Living, Making a Life
Author: Sara James
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317102606
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
In a world in which individuals will undergo multiple career changes, is it possible any longer to conceive of a job as a meaningful vocation? Against the background of fragmentation and rationalisation of work, this book explores the significance and meaning of work in contemporary life, raising the question of whether people continue to feel motivated to dedicate their lives to their work, or must now look to other areas of life for meaning. Based on rich, in-depth interviews conducted with workers of different ages and across a broad range of occupations in the major city of Melbourne, Making a Living, Making a Life reveals that work continues to be a source of pride, passion and purpose, the author shedding light on the ways in which cultural narratives, collective meanings and structural factors influence people’s feelings about work. An engaging and empirically grounded examination of the meaning and centrality of work to people’s lives in today’s 'liquid' modern world, this book will appeal to sociologists with interests in cultural sociology, social theory, ethics, the sociology of work and questions of identity.

Making Life Work
Author: Jack Levinson
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452915113
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Group homes emerged in the United States in the 1970s as a solution to the failure of the large institutions that, for more than a century, segregated and abused people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Yet community services have not, for the most part, delivered on the promises of rights, self-determination, and integration made more than thirty years ago, and critics predominantly portray group homes simply as settings of social control. Making Life Workis a clear-eyed ethnography of a New York City group home based on more than a year of field research. Jack Levinson shows how the group home needs the knowledgeable and voluntary participation of residents and counselors alike. The group home is an actual workplace for counselors, but for residents group home work involves working on themselves to become more autonomous. Levinson reveals that rather than being seen as the antithesis of freedom, the group home must be understood as representing the fundamental dilemmas between authority and the individual in contemporary liberal societies. No longer inmates but citizens, these people who are presumed—rightly or wrongly—to lack the capacity for freedom actually govern themselves. Levinson, a former group home counselor, demonstrates that the group home depends on the very capacities for independence and individuality it cultivates in the residents. At the same time, he addresses the complex relationship between services and social control in the history of intellectual and developmental disabilities, interrogating broader social service policies and the role of clinical practice in the community.
