Chapter 3 turns from the upper-class flapper to representations of female workers in order to explore how pink-collar labor impacted women’s daily lives, especially in the areas of dating and fashion. By tracing the representations and lived experience of these working modern girls, the chapter examines the contradiction expressed by the popular media, which alternatively praised the freedom, autonomy, and personal fulfillment associated with female work while at the same time condemning the effect of work and consumption on traditional gender roles.

Chapter 4 suggests that much interwar social behaviour was more relaxed than before the First World War and the informalising trends of popular culture exposed generational fissures which were particularly apparent in concerns about the cinema's imaginative and sensual impact. Courtship and ‘dating’ were becoming ‘private’ acts of consumption, taking place away from family and neighbourhood venues, in public social spaces such as the cinemaintroduction and dance hall. This distancing stimulated many adult concerns about their inability to supervise adequately young people's leisure, and produced much often ill-informed commentary about how young people's sexual lives were changing. What received less attention were shifting imaginative landscapes and the cinema's catalysing role for emotional tensions between individual and public expressions of masculinity, as the chapter suggests in its exploration of the responses which particular films evoked in some young men.

This chapter surveys the pottery found in the Tomb of Karakhamun, looking at dating and classification of general characteristics of the ceramic material. It also highlights variation between areas within the tomb and assesses the functional use of different ceramics. It explains the use-life that is illustrated by the pottery corpus found in TT 223, such as the reuse of the tomb as a burial place into the Ptolemaic period and then domestic use in the Roman, Coptic, and Islamic periods.

This chapter considers the difficulties of dating uninscribed and unprovenanced ancient Egyptian sculpture, by examining stylistic characteristics. The author explores this issue through the example of a small three-dimensional head, which he compares to an inscribed relief representation and thus dates to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. He seeks to demonstrate the importance of art history in Egyptology, making the case for it as a principle tool for study of this field.

The chapter begins with Sam telling me he wants to leave our marriage and my trying to understand the reasons for our divorce and cope with its overwhelming pain. I begin dating and meet someone new, Ted. I take my first backpack trip and experience the peace of the mountains. I become a Resident Fellow in one of the Stanford dorms. I become involved in Stanford Hillel and strengthen my commitment to Judaism. I continue to study occupational segregation, this time in bank telling and the Mexican maquiladoras. I take on two new challenges--first chair of the National Council for Research on Women and an associate editor of the journal, Signs, which I help to bring to Stanford. I attempt, unsuccessfully, to get my salary in line with that of my male colleagues. In the chapter’s conclusion, I end my relationship with Ted.

This chapter introduces the concept of “romantic career:” how people draw on prior romantic and dating experiences to understand their ethnoracial preferences or (lack thereof) for romantic partnership and marriage. This chapter reveals the narratives and accounts that respondents use to make sense of their trajectories towards marrying a person of a different color. This chapter draws on responses to questions about their first and last serious relationships, dating experiences, and “hook-ups.” I found that Carioca spouses were often placed ethnoracial boundaries at the center of desires for romantic partnership. In Los Angeles, there was more silence surrounding ethnoracial preferences across the boundary. However, in both sites, whites enjoyed a “privilege of preference” that their black partners did not. For Cariocas, it meant white women's desires for nego, or “big” black men. In Los Angeles, it was revealed in white men's penchant for “exotic” women across racial categories.

This chapter examines dating in turn-of-the-century Berlin as mobility. Whereas the fluidity of the metropolis set in motion potential relationships every minute, the strictures of hegemonic middle-class virtue vis-à-vis love and intimacy formed countless roadblocks to men and women looking for connection. Dating offered the promise of upward mobility, and yet the current of modern, urban life made it hard for those on the margins of society (women, the petit bourgeoisie) to stay afloat and avoid going under. New approaches to dating emerged as a way of counteracting the barriers to romantic movement, however, and this chapter focuses on one common and contested version—chance meetings on the street that blossomed into relationships—as a way of examining the interplay of love and mobility.

Being married and having children brings certain legal responsibilities and privileges. The current chapter addresses dating and other activities that occur prior to marriage or are related to getting married. In U.S. culture, dating is an important step before marriage and has undergone extreme changes throughout the past century. Once there is a promise to marry other issues are important to consider such as prenuptial agreements, breaches of promise to marry, and the choice of surname for one or both members of the marrying couple. Of course, not all individuals or romantic couples choose marriage. Rates of nonmartial cohabitation rates have continued to rise. These generational changes in premarital and nonmartial behaviors have important implications for contextualizing the current status of marriage.

This chapter provides an overview of best and promising practices for preventing dating violence and sexual violence among adolescents and young adults. The chapter highlights the need to create prevention curricula that address multiple types of violence; build links between prevention efforts over time, and across professional groups and various contexts; examine the intersection of violence prevention and prevention of other health problems; and connect prevention efforts across a target group’s social relationships.

This is an English translation of the original French Introduction to the Latin text by Professor Hubien, published in 1976. Hubien describes the three extant manuscripts from which his edition was made, the authenticity of the work, and speculates about the date of composition. He goes onto describe the methodology of the edition, and the place of the treatise in the history of logic.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an accessible and detailed narrative which will enable collectors, dealers, museum curators and auction house staff to assess and ascribe a date (or dates) to a given instrument. The narrative is chronological and describes, decade by decade, how the technical and aesthetic features of the chronometer movement, box fittings and dial all changed over the course of the century. It also emphasises the importance of recognising that these functional instruments were frequently updated and improved over their many years of service, and that this has to be borne in mind when dating, and that such updates and improvements should be considered as part of the objects valid history and not something to be removed.

The influence of time on soil formation is a unique characteristic of pedogenesis among geomorphic processes that, like lateral variability, serves to distinguish soils and soil-forming processes from other geomorphic phenomena. Another unique aspect of time is that, among the five factors of soil formation, it does not contribute directly to soil formation. However, the passage of time allows the various pedogenic processes operating at a given location to alter the parent material and produce a soil. The physical, chemical, and biological processes of soil formation generally are much slower than many, if not most, processes of sedimentation and erosion. Moreover, most soil-forming processes are so slow that their effect on the soil is markedly time dependent (Birkeland, 1999, p. 144). Time as a factor of soil formation is a key concept in soil geomorphology and has driven much soil geomorphic research (Yaalon, 1975, 1983; Knuepfer and McFadden, 1990; Birkeland, 1999). Because time is also a key consideration of much archaeological research, the time-factor concept of soil genesis can likewise play a significant role in geoarchaeological research (Holliday, 1990a, 1992a). The concept that some time must elapse before a soil can form is arguably one of the most significant aspects of soil development in an archaeological context. This chapter is a discussion of some approaches to the issue of time in archaeology, using soils. The first section is a look at the archaeological implications of soils as indicators of stable landscapes and stratigraphic discontinuities. A number of case histories are presented. The validity of intersite and intrasite archaeological correlations using soils and interpretations of archaeological assemblages associated with soils are profoundly dependent on recognition of soils as depositional hiatuses. The subsequent section reviews the concept of the soil chronosequence and its use in archaeological dating. This is one of the most widely applied aspects of Jenny’s state factor approach to soil geomorphology, and it has considerable potential in archaeology. The last part of the chapter is a discussion of the radiometric dating of pedogenic features.
