Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Lern- und Bildungsprozesse beim Übergang in die
Book SynopsisDieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die Einzelnen den Übergang in die Elternschaft durchlaufen. Insbesondere beim ersten Kind birgt der Übergang diverse krisenhaft besetzte Veränderungen, zu denen sich die Eltern irgendwie verhalten müssen. Auf diese unterschiedlichen Lernherausforderungen wird mit Lern- und Bildungsprozessen reagiert, mit deren Themenkomplex sich dieses Buch beschäftigt. Interessant ist dabei, wie die Personen sich in die neue Rolle als Eltern hineinfinden und wie die gesamte (Lern-)Entwicklung beziehungswiese Lerngeschichte der Person in ihrer Spezifik, aber auch in ihrer Gesamtheit abläuft. Dafür werden narrativ-biographische Interviews mit Eltern, deren erstes Kind zum Zeitpunkt des Interviews zwei Jahre alt ist, analysiert. Dabei wird mit einem biographieanalytischen Verfahren gearbeitet und ein Vorschlag zur theoretischen Weiterentwicklung und zur Veralltäglichung von Lern- und Bildungsprozessen entwickelt.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Lern- Und Bildungsprozesse.- Übergänge Und Transitionen.- Elternschaft.- Methodik.- Interviewanalysen.- Übergreifende Soziale Und Gesellschaftliche Ergebnisse.- Lern- Und Bildungsprozesse Beim Übergang In Die Elternschaft.- Vorschlag Zur Theoretischen Weiterentwicklung Und Der Veralltäglichung Von Lern- Und .- Bildungsprozessen.- Zusammenführende Erkenntnisse.- Zusammenführende Erkenntnisse.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo Single and the City
Book SynopsisWhat does the single life look like and does it have anything in common with what the media show? This question has caused much discussion on the Internet, in TV debates, in the press and on the radio. This book explores the issue of singles in big cities, their lifestyle and reasons for "flying solo". Singles talk about their expectations towards their potential partners and their idea of a great love. They share their thoughts on relationships. They also talk about the importance of having a professional career in their life, their passions, and about the advantages and disadvantages of being single. The book presents the similarities and differences between the singles, and explains why some of them are called "all-or-nothing" while others are called "accustomed" or "romantic".Trade ReviewAlmost everyone is intrigued why some people remain single. The author has tried to find reasons for this. One can see three reasons from the collected data: professional life, family background with good and bad role models, and personal experience. This research material is very rich, and was given deep consideration in line with the previously chosen groups of reasons ( ). The presented work is valuable and is an important input in the sociological debate on changes in social life. This analysis of life of singles ( ) does not close the issue but rather gives food for thought. From the review of prof. Anna Kwak, Warsaw UniversityYou will finally learn whether "Sex and the city" was about you. And you will understand if you want to or have to be single. And then you will write a scenario of your own life. Single or ;-) Julita Czernecka debunks the stereotype. Absorbing. Not only for singles or sociologists. -- Agnieszka Sztyler, head of editorial coverage, Elle Poland

Zubaan Motherhood and Choice – Uncommon Mothers,
Book SynopsisAs both the bedrock of human survival and an unchallenged part of the "normal" female life, motherhood expects and even compels women to be mothers both symbolic and corporeal. Motherhood and non-motherhood is not just physiological. As the pivot to a web of heteronormative institutions like marriage and family, motherhood bears an overwhelming and decisive influence on women's lives. In the face of tradition and sociopolitical discourse and policies, Motherhood and Choice explores how women as embodiments of multiple identities can live stigma-free, authentic lives without having to abandon reproductive self-determination. Amrita Nandy asks the difficult questions here: How can women live fully? If autonomy is a basic human right, why do many women have little or no choice when it comes to motherhood? Do women know they have a choice? Through remarkable research and searing analysis, Nandy brings an important addition to feminist debates on the conflation of woman and mother, political and personal.

University of the West Indies Press Ties that Bind: The Black Family in Post-Slavery Jamaica, 1834-1882
Book SynopsisTies That Bindsignals a shift from the traditional focus by historians of the family on family forms and structure and instead assesses the relationships and interactions within Black family networks in the landscape of post-slavery Jamaica. Chronicled throughout this book are the issues which were intrinsic to the freed people’s notion of family well-being, including the need to reconstitute members separated by slavery, attainment of secure shelter, access to land and education for their children, assertion of parental control, autonomy over family labour and liberty and reclaiming the dignity and personhood of family members.Presented here is evidence which challenges several stereotypical misrepresentations of the attitudes which Blacks had towards their families. The book is replete with cases of Black mothers and fathers, who by dint of their own persistence and sacrifice, ensured that their children had access to health care and education, thereby challenging contemporary stereotyping of Black parents as irresponsible and neglectful. In today’s context when social researchers are still focussed on trying to find the “invisible and marginal” Black male, the book presents abundant evidence of male activism on behalf of family and locates him as significant and central in the activation of his familial roles. Irrespective of challenges facing the family, the fact that so many Black Jamaicans engaged in some form of family advocacy in the worst of times, as well as in the best of times, affirms the endurance of the ties that bind, a theme which is central to this work.

Springer Verlag, Singapore A Study of Suicide in Rural China
Book SynopsisThis book identifies and analyzes the significant regional differences in suicide rates of various age groups and different sexes among Chinese rural residents. It goes beyond the analytic dichotomy in traditional Western suicide studies and argues that the phenomena of suicide among Chinese farmers are the result of a combination of social structure and social action, rather than being determined by either of these two factors alone. This study analyses suicide rates among young married women in rural areas as well as those of elderly people in rural areas. The responsive trend for the near future is also projected. The underlying dynamics and causal mechanisms of these phenomena are carefully analyzed using an innovative “structure – action theory” framework.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Farmer Suicide in a Tight-knit Society.- Chapter 3: Farmer Suicide in a Loose-knit Society.- Chapter 4: Farmer Suicide in an Individualistic Society.- Chapter 5: Conclusion.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Changes in Work and Family Life in Japan Under
Book SynopsisThis book describes how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way of work, the division of household labor, and family formation in Japan. One of the characteristics of Japanese employment practices is a stable employer–employment relationship and seniority-based wage system. In return, long working hours, especially for men who are called “salarymen” (salaried workers, or “company men”), are required. The pandemic has led to an expansion of telework and has reduced their working hours, which has made them return to their homes to work. In contrast, non-regular employees, who are mostly women, has become more unstable in employment and their incomes fell. This tendency has become even stronger under the pandemic.Compared with conditions in Western countries, in Japan wives have a greater responsibility for domestic chores. In the pandemic, as children's classes shifted to online and childcare support facilities were temporarily closed, the burden of housework and child-rearing increased for wives. However, husbands who worked from home shared a part of the housework, and popular home delivery services helped to reduce the burdens on wives. Japan is one of the developed countries with low fertility rates. Under the pandemic, many Japanese postponed starting a family, which further shrank the country’s birthrate. There was a remarkably significant tendency to postpone having children among economically disadvantaged and socially isolated families. This book provides a portrait of Japan’s experience regarding the notable impacts of the pandemic on work and family life.Table of Contents1．Introduction (Shigeki Matsuda).- -2.
