This chapter presents a new sociological theory of artist activism that addresses the question of how artist activists fashion their roles as artist activists. Specifically, the theory addresses how individual subjective orientations shape the repertoire of individual and collective actions and roles assumed and enacted by artist activists. The theory attributes individual variations in role assumption and enactment to artist orientations toward success, audience, risk, and career inspiration. This is a theory-building project of the new sociology of work. Research in the new sociology of work has addressed individual risk-management strategies for advancing individual careers and social mobility of free agents. In contrast, the sociological theory of artist activism presented here addresses how artist activists build a peer community for sustaining the livelihoods of individuals and the whole occupation.Less

This chapter makes a case for the integrative model of parenthood and for supporting the formal, legally recognized statuses of husband/wife and parent/child. Drawing on the existing literature and research on different-sex couples, it argues that, in general, children do better in the short and long term if they live with married parents and if they are biological or adopted children of these parents. Using mixed-race marriages as an example, it explains the importance of different factors for child outcomes, such as the stability and permanence of relationships and parental warmth. It also discusses the importance of community, which includes the formal community denoted by legal status, the family's religious community, and the peer community, which particularly influences older children. For example, black children seem to be affected by formal legal relationships far less than other racial groups in the United States, and the reason may be the support provided by the mother's religiosity. The chapter also considers that stable marriages may provide a buffer for fathers who, on their own, may prefer sons to daughters, as the reported cases involving relocation by custodial parents suggest.Less
