This chapter begins by defining conventional prohibition in an operational fashion. As the earlier chapters have shown, this is a daunting task. Most views can be captured by supposing that the price-fixing prohibition is limited to certain sorts of interfirm communication, whether designated by mode, content, or otherwise. This formulation on its face seems problematic because it focuses not on whether the means employed in fact caused harm in a given case but rather on whether one versus another means was employed. Preliminary consideration of social welfare consequences suggests a negative assessment, for the distinction drawn has little relationship to welfare.Less

This chapter looks at how prison populations have come to reflect a concentrated experience among certain subgroups in the U.S. population. It describes imprisonment both nationally and in Tallahassee, Florida. It suggests that there is nothing “equal opportunity” about prison and that accidents of birth play an enormous role in determining the possibility of imprisonment during a person's life. It also argues that the single most disturbing aspect of incarceration policy in the U.S. is its inequitable social consequences.Less

This chapter describes the social, spiritual, legal and financial outcomes of divorce for Muslim men and women. There is consensus that women suffer the most negative social consequences. In some cases they are shunned, at least temporarily, by their families and communities. Most respondents reported that they found no tension between their faith and their decision to divorce, with the majority reporting that this personal crisis strengthened their faith and brought them closer to God. A few found that extremely negative family and social reactions to their divorce turned them away from Islam. Financial and legal outcomes for respondents (broken down between shorter, mid-length and longer marriages) were similar to those adjudicated in a common law system. Many respondents combined some Islamic principles —for example, payment of the mahr—with North American legal principles such as the payment of spousal support and joint custody. Many respondents ended up with some aspect of their divorce outcome determined by a court, because they were otherwise unable to resolve a particular dispute. A small group rejected any common law outcomes to which they would not have been entitled in Islam.Less

The thirteen chapters in this volume offer a challenge to conventional scholarly approaches to the sociology of religion. They urge readers to look beyond congregational settings, beyond the United States, and to religions other than Christianity, and encourage critical engagement with religion's complex social consequences. By expanding conceptual categories, the chapters reveal how aspects of the religious have always been part of allegedly non-religious spaces and show how, by attending to these intellectual blind spots, we can understand aspects of identity, modernity, and institutional life that have long been obscured. The book addresses a number of critical questions: What is revealed about the self, pluralism, or modernity when we look outside the US or outside Christian settings? What do we learn about how and where the religious is actually at work and what its role is when we unpack the assumptions about it embedded in the categories we use? The book offers new methodologies and models, bringing to light conceptual lacunae, re-centering what is unsettled by their use, and inviting a significant reordering of long-accepted political and economic hierarchies. The book shows how social scientists across the disciplines can engage with the sociology of religion.Less

There is no doubt that we are witnessing significant challenges to our environmental certainties. These include the slow erosion of our rivers and waterways, the downgrading of our productive areas, and rising temperatures, which are leading to more insidious challenges to our environment, our climate, and ultimately, to our health and well-being. Thanks to the efforts of environmental activists and concerned scientists, the world is beginning to wake up to the consequences of environmentally destructive practices. However, while there has been a necessary focus on the environmental and economic consequences of potential climate change, there is less systematic attention to the health and human-rights outcomes. This chapter outlines climate change and its social consequences, drawing largely on the particular social and health impacts on Australia consequent on drought, and the links between the local situation and the global construction of climate change. It argues that global humanitarian responses to climate change have been largely crisis driven, and considers a long-term role for social work in this new world of environmental uncertainty.Less

This chapter examines agricultural issues, which have tended to dominate Ireland's involvement within the European Union. It describes how Ireland's agricultural policy developed and analyses the changes that have affected policy, politics and polity. This chapter traces the influence of policy changes and the significant financial transfers on Irish agricultural policy and practices as well as the social consequences of such change. It also explores the emergence of rural development policies as a feature of changing agricultural policy at both national and European levels.Less

This chapter discusses harm reduction, medicalisation and decriminalisation, the three reformative, rather than radical features of the debate. These fit more easily into those proposals that soften or mitigate the impact of prohibition. According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse Working Group, harm reduction refers to policies and programmes that attempt primarily to reduce the adverse health, social and economic consequences of mood-altering substances to individual drug users, their families and their communities. Medicalisation means legally prescribing drugs to users, the user presumably having been assessed by a member of the medical profession, who also decides on the dosage and the drug to be prescribed. Those favouring medicalisation say that the prescribing of drugs to addicts has a number of advantages, one of which is that prescribed drugs do not contain dangerous impurities. Decriminalisation, or depenalisation as it is sometimes called, is often used as synonymous with legalization, since to remove legal controls is also to legalise. Decriminalisation is about assessing legal powers and legal sanctions, and where appropriate reducing or removing them.Less

This book presents a comprehensive overview of contemporary theories and research on collective emotions. It spans several disciplines and brings together, for the first time, various strands of inquiry and up-to-date research in the study of collective emotions and related phenomena. In focusing on conceptual, theoretical, and methodological issues in collective emotion research, the volume aims at narrowing the gap between the wealth of studies on individual emotions and inquiries into collective emotions. The book catches up with a renewed interest into the collective dimensions of emotions and their close relatives, for example emotional climates, atmospheres, communities, and intergroup emotions. This interest is propelled by a more general increase in research on the social and interpersonal aspects of emotion on the one hand, and by trends in philosophy and cognitive science towards refined conceptual analyses of collective entities and the collective properties of cognition on the other hand. Eminent scholars from disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, neuroscience, and information science address various issues related to the properties, causes, and social consequences of collective emotions. The book represents understandings of the collective properties of emotions ranging from mimicry and contagion in social interaction to shared beliefs, collective intentions, social practices, and political mobilization. The 28 chapters are divided into seven sections: “Conceptual perspectives”; “Collective emotion in face-to-face interactions”; “The social-relational dimension of collective emotion”; “The social consequences of collective emotions”; “Group-based and intergroup emotion”; “Rituals, movements, and social organization”; and “Collective emotions in online social systems.”Less

In May 1968, France teetered on the brink of revolution as a series of student protests spiraled into the largest general strike the country has ever known. In the years since, May '68 has come to occupy a singular place in the modern political imagination, not just in France but across the world. This book examines the social, political, and cultural effects of May '68 on a wide variety of music in France, from the initial shock of 1968 through the “long” 1970s and the election of Mitterrand and the socialists in 1981. This detailed account of how diverse music communities developed in response to 1968 reflects on the nature and significance of musical genre to provide insights into the relationships that link music, identity, and politics.Less

This chapter specifically focuses on brain disorders and crying. A significant minority of patients with brain disorders (e.g., stroke, dementia, MS, ALS, etc.) suffers from what is called pathological crying (or laughing). This term refers to the occurrence of crying (or laughing) spells, without any apparent reason. Some neurologists assert that there is absolutely no affect — that it is a mere motoric reaction, whereas others argue that the crying threshold is extremely low, but that there is always a, not always easily identifiable, trigger. The chapter criticizes the use of the term ‘pathological’ because this term can only be used, when one has sufficient knowledge about ‘normal’ crying and because neurologist seem to be insufficiently aware of the fact that excessive crying can also be observed in non-neurological serious diseases (heart infarction, cancer), where it reflects the suffering and struggling with the major losses. There is further attention to the social consequences of the condition and which possibilities for treatment exist.Less

This chapter contains a more in-depth discussion of who citizen activists are, how they pursue change, and what outsiders can do to help. Citizen activism is considered as any individual action with social consequences, and much of it involves collective activity. This type of activity has grown exponentially across the developing world, and is driven by several factors: rapid increases in literacy and access to education (particularly for women), a greater openness to political activity, and the spread of new norms regarding rights and justice. Urbanization too has played a role, for cities are vividly political places, dense with social movements demanding housing, schools, clinics, or decent water and sanitation. Technology is also a factor, most recently through the spread of social media and mobile telephones, which greatly expand the possibilities of networking among large groups.Less

Smallpox was for several centuries one of the most deadly, most contagious, and most feared of diseases. This book charts the history of one of the most controversial techniques in medical history. Originating probably in Africa, smallpox progressed via the Middle and Near East, where it was studied around the end of the first millennium by Arab physicians. It arrived in Britain during Elizabethan times and was well established by the seventeenth century. During the closing years of the eighteenth century, a far-reaching and ultimately controversial development took place when Edward Jenner developed an inoculation for Smallpox based on a culture from Cowpox. The author examines the astonishing speed at which Jenner's technique of ‘vaccination’ was taken up, culminating in the ‘Compulsory Vaccination Act of 1853’. The Act made a painful and sometimes fatal medical practice for all children obligatory and as a result set an important precedent for governmental regulation of medical welfare. It remained in force until 1946 and was only ended after decades of intense pressure from the National Anti-vaccination League, but the issues raised by this book remain current today in debates about vaccination. The book highlights the social, political, and ethical consequences of compulsory vaccination and the repercussions that followed the ending of the policy through the most major medical resistance campaign in European medical history.Less

When viewed from a global perspective the problem of hate violence amounts to a global public health problem—as we evidence in this chapter by unfolding the spatial and psycho-social consequences of hate violence in its everyday and extreme, local, and global manifestations. Given the scale of the problem we argue that a paradigm shift is required away from a narrow criminal justice focus on the problem of ‘hate crime’ towards thinking about a public health approach to the problem of ‘hate violence’. We offer some suggestions for what a public health approach to the problem of hate violence would involve.Less
