Описание: This book explores the practical and symbolic resources of legitimacy which the elites of medieval Scandinavia employed to establish, justify, and reproduce their social and political standing between the end of the Viking Age and the rise of kingdoms in the thirteenth century. Geographically the chapters cover the Scandinavian realms and Free State Iceland. Thematically the authors cover a wide palette of cultural practices and historical sources: hagiography, historiography, spaces and palaces, literature, and international connections, which rulers, magnates or ecclesiastics used to compete for status and to reserve haloing glory for themselves. The volume is divided in three sections. The first looks at the sacral, legal, and acclamatory means through which privilege was conferred onto kings and ruling families. Section Two explores the spaces such as aristocratic halls, palaces, churches in which the social elevation of elites took place. Section Three explores the traditional and novel means of domestic distinction and international cultural capital which different orders of elites – knights, powerful clerics, ruling families etc. – wrought to assure their dominance and set themselves apart vis-?-vis their peers and subjects. A concluding chapter discusses how the use of symbolic capital in the North compared to wider European contexts.

This book gives explanations for the growing gap in wealth and income and the rise of anti-democratic movements. The power of the elites today is supposedly founded on merit (education, intelligence etc.), but a closer look shows that a well-marked-out pool is just self-re-producing. The power these in-groups wield often leads to moral insensibility, made worse by a condescending attitude towards people further down the food chain. The pre-dominance of the model of the nation-state, with its centralism and top-down structure, is one of the roots of this problem, as is the lack of comparisons and value judgements; examples from transport and urbanism show that they are possible. The deplorable situation is made worse by the “anti-“social-media scuppering open and productive discussions.

Eminence: meaning, Distinction, -renowned, - Importance, - Reputation. What makes Men and women pioneers of yesteryear and today?
These are stories with impact. Every story is of a person, place or event that, in some way, had an impact on America.
One can only imagine traveling in heavy dust all day or ankle deep mud, crossing a raging river, many had quick sand areas, going down a steep hill getting turned sideways and your wagon rolling, getting caught in an Indian raid, witnessing deaths and having no time to morn them, traveling with wagon trains consisting of over one thousand people and fifteen to twenty miles long, on the westward journey. By reading the few true diary's written, in A Woman's Journey West, it may help you understand.
Excerpt: "I lost my wife and daughter while giving birth but was only afforded one hour to bury them beside the trail as the wagon master could not stop the train for such events".
Women Made America, stories of the vital roll women played in the development of America and their diaries, cherished today by their owners, entered as written.
What was it like to oversee a "Bull Outfit" (freighting train) consisting of twenty-five wagons to one-hundred, each pulled by a team of twelve horses or mules, pulling wagons that weighed five thousand pounds loaded?
What was it really like to travel at two-miles-per-hour in dust so thick that it could be seen for over twenty miles away?
After walking all day and stopping at dusk, erecting the tents, hobbling the riding horses, chaining all the wagon wheels together in the large circular enclosure, starting cooking fires, cooking food for the over one thousand, tending the young and sick, making the beds, cleaning the evening dishes, the men, in groups of ten to fifteen, taking three hour shifts throughout the night standing guard,
Every morning getting up before dawn, herding the hundreds of livestock to the closest water and if none close, hand watering them, doing all the same chores, only in reverse, because at sunrise the wagons were rolling west, with or without you.
Early First Americans, their life style, food, and travel as told in the story of M -H t -S k- (Cheyenne for black dog).
Medical remedies and recipes from the middle 1800s, used by wagon trains and on cattle drives.
Excerpt: "When Miss Sukovaty was a small girl, when this part of the country was all open-range, she would spend the summer months herding cattle. She did all the herding by foot and explained that shoes were somewhat a luxury at this time and only worn on dress up occasions, so all her herding was done barefoot. She spoke of how the cattle would wander for miles, but they all had to be rounded up and brought home at night."
Eighty-two years of events, during the Industrial Revelation and beyond, to the space age.
What was it like to hear your first radio? What was it like to see your first automobile? What was it like to see your first airplane? What was it like to see First Americans become citizens of their own nation? What was it like to read the headlines telling of the gunfight at the OK corral? What was it like to be one of the first generation to taste Coca Cola? What was it like to be the first human in space? What was it like? stories with eminence

Why do some elites survive while others do not? How do certain institutions manage to preserve their importance in the face of crises, instability, and change? How does a democratic society legitimize elitist institutions? Combining the use of important social theories-particularly those of Mosca, Schumpeter, Tocqueville, and Pareto-with empirical analysis, Ezra Suleiman tries to answer these questions in his examination of the dominance and stability of France's governing elites.
The author draws on original survey data, historical evidence, and specialized documentary sources. His three part discussion deals, first, with the state institutions that nurture the French elite; second, with the organization, legitimization, and adaptation of the elite and its institutions; and third, with some of the policy and political implications of France's elitist system. In the final section of his book, he closely examines the relationship between elites in the public and private sectors. In his investigation of France's "state-created" elites, Professor Suleiman shows the great importance of the grandes йcoles in training and promoting the elites, and the grand corps in providing a base from which the elites launch themselves into extra-governmental careers. He also finds that the elites' capacity to adapt to an evolving social, political, and economic environment is a major factor in their ability to survive. Originally published in 1979.

Paul Название: From Tolerance to Equality: How Elites Brought America to Same-Sex Marriage ISBN: 1481306952 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781481306959 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 37610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Over the last twenty-five years, a dramatic transformation in the American public's view of homosexuality has occurred, symbolized best by the movement of same-sex marriage from the position of a fringe few to the pinnacle of morality and a cornerstone of establishment thought. From Tolerance to Equality explores how this seismic shift of social perspective occurred and why it was led by the country's educational and business elite. Rejecting claims of a commitment to toleration or a heightened capacity for moral sympathy, author Darel E. Paul argues that American elites use opinion on homosexuality as a mark of social distinction and thus as a tool for accumulating cultural authority and political power. Paul traces this process through its cultural pathways as first professionals and, later, corporate managers took up the cause. He marshals original data analysis and chapters on social class and the family, the ideology of diversity, and the waning status of religious belief and authority to explore the factors behind the cultural changes he charts. Paul demonstrates the high stakes for same-sex marriage's mostly secular proponents and mostly religious opponents - and explains how so many came to fight so vigorously on an issue that directly affects so few. In the end, From Tolerance to Equality is far more than an explanation of gay equality and same-sex marriage. It is a road map to the emerging American political and cultural landscape.

Описание: This book explores the changing nature of social movements and economic elites in post-Second World War Europe. In the years following 1945, Europe faced diverse challenges connected by the overriding question of how the reconstruction of the continent should proceed. For the Central Powers, the implementation lay in the hands of the Allied occupying forces who organised the process of denazification and the establishment of a new economic order. In countries without military occupation, there was a deep gap between the new governmental forces and the former collaborators. In both cases, social movements which were formed by anti-fascists on the left of the political spectrum assumed the task of social reorganisation. The chapters in this book explore the discourses about economic systems and their elites which moved to the fore across a range of European countries, uncovering who was involved, what resistance these social movements faced and how these ultimately failed in the West to bring about change, while in Eastern Europe Stalinism forcibly imposed change.
