Publication THE SOCIAL STRUCTURING OF POSTINDUSTRIAL CONFLICT: CITIZEN POSITIONS ON ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSIONS(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Kowalewski, DavidThe new social movements characteristic of postindustrial societies have raised a number ofnovel issues, in particular environmental ones. The positions which groups in these societies take on these issues, however, is far from clear. The paper examines three perspectives on the problem: traditional class, new middle class, and transitional disequilibrium. Data/rom a western New York community are used to examine citizen positioning on three eco-factors-environmental protectionism, deep ecology, and limits-to-technology. The two class perspectives perform poorly but the disequilibrium perspective proves useful. Cluster analysis yields a five-group indicator which is significantly related to all the environmental factors. Two associated property vectors, democratic-party affiliation and education, help accountfor intersectoral distances on the eco- factors. The implications for researchand practice are discussedPublication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Najafizadeh, MehrangizPublication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Front Matter(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01)Publication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Bobbitt, Donna F.Publication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Book review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Krause, JerryPublication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Logan, Sadye L.Publication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Hill, ShirleyPublication Mid-American Review of Sociology, Volume 19, Number 1&2 (WINTER, SPRING 1996): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Futrell, RobertPublication LANGUAGE OBSTACLES IN THE NARRATIVES OF ABUSED WOMEN(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Lempert, Lora BexLanguage is a gendered system that reflects male experience and expressions and the categories used in traditional sociological inquiry are often incongruent with the experiences of women's lives (Devault 1990;. Long /987; Keller 1985; Smith /979). An examination of 32 abused women's narratives of violence from their intimate partners demonstrates that words for the content oftheir experiences were readily accessible. Women's articulations ofthe interactional meanings of the Violence, however, indicated vocabularies insufficient to describe the effects. I examine how abused women's reports of naming and use of language shape meaning and consequent actions. Jargue that a gendered language system poses obstacles to the constructions and expressions of these meanings.Publication COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES IN A SECOND GRADE CLASSROOM: DO GIRLS COOPERATE BETTER?(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1996-04-01) Gilliland, Nancy
