Full textAbstract:
Adults from the middle-classes are up to three times more likely to be regularly involved in sport than those from the working-class. The reason for this participation anomaly has been consistently linked to the differing lifestyles and opportunities to which young people from working and middle-class backgrounds are exposed. More specifically, working-class children are more likely to develop narrow, class-related leisure profiles and sporting repertoires during their childhood that serve to limit the likelihood of them remaining physically active in adulthood. In relation to this, one of the key aims of physical education (PE) in mainstream schools is to develop the range of skills and knowledge for all pupils and widen their sporting repertoires in an attempt to promote long-term participation throughout their lives. However, not only has PE provision in British mainstream schools been shown to be unsuccessful in promoting working-class pupils’ sporting/ability development, some suggest that the subject may even be perpetuating the social difference that has been shown to exist in relation to sports participation between social class groups. In order to address these issues the study set out to examine the extent to which the wider social background of white, working-class ‘lads’ and the actions and attitudes of their PE teachers came to impact on the way the lads influenced and experienced their PE curriculum/lessons. It also aimed to examine the impact that school PE then had on their sporting repertoires and participation in sport/active leisure outside of school. A total of 24 days were spent in Ayrefield Community School (ACS), a purposively selected, working-class state secondary school as part of a case study design. Over 60 practical PE lessons were observed that led to differing roles being adopted and guided conversations being conducted before, during, and after these lessons. Eight focus group interviews were also conducted with specifically chosen lads as well as one with the four members of male PE staff. Additional observations were also carried out during off-site trips, external visits, and in a range of classroom-based lessons. The findings were then considered and examined in relation to the work of the sociologists Norbert Elias and Pierre Bourdieu. The findings revealed that the pressures related to the modern education system and the social expectations linked to their working-class backgrounds caused a split between the lads at ACS in to three broad groups, namely: Problematics, Participants and Performers. These groupings came to impact on the ways that these lads engaged and achieved in school as well as the ways in which they came to negotiate and experience PE. The ‘Problematic’ group held largely negative views of education, but valued PE, especially when playing football, the ‘Participants’ were relatively successful at school yet apathetic regarding the content and delivery of their PE lessons, and a Performer group of lads emerged who engaged and achieved highly at school and participated in a range of activities in PE, but showed little intention of participating outside of school due to their pragmatic attitude to ‘learning’ in PE. Despite these differing school and PE experiences between the lads’ groups, the potential and actual impact of school PE on their sporting repertoires, skills, and interests was ultimately constrained by a range of issues. In the first instance the lads’ narrow, class-related leisure profiles and sporting repertoires linked closely to recreational participation with friends, alongside a lack of proactive parenting were significant limiting factors. In addition, the ability of some lads to constrain the actions of PE staff and peers to get what they wanted in PE rather than what they needed, and the negative views of most lads to skill development and structured PE lessons meant that PE at ACS was never likely to have a positive impact on the sporting repertoires and participation types/levels of its male pupils either currently or in their future lives.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi doctoral: Sant Adrià de Besòs del món rural a l'urbà. Indústria i immigració: la formació de la classe obrera (1900-1939), analitza el pas del món rural agrari al món urbà industrial i la formació de la classe obrera del municipi del Pla de Barcelona. Analitza com s'ha desenvolupat la colossal transformació econòmica, urbanística, social, política i cultural del municipi analitzant els factors geogràfics –riu Besòs i mar Mediterrània– i la influència que, sobre el procés d'urbanització, industrialització i creixement, va exercir la capital de Catalunya.
Explica com va produir-se la transformació del territori sota la direcció dels propietaris de les terres, els industrials i l'arquitecte municipal –responsable de la planificació urbanística–, i segons els interessos dels grans propietaris barcelonins, que van vendre les terres a indústries o urbanitzacions. El control de l'Ajuntament i el suport de les elits locals, propietaris de terres, pagesos, comerciants i petits industrials; els va permetre dirigir tot el procés de creixement urbà i sotmetre a les classes populars i treballadores immigrants i adrianenques fins a l'arribada de la Segona República.
La tesi analitza exhaustivament la població adrianenca que va arribar al municipi entre el 1920-1935 atreta per la industrialització lligada a la Segona Revolució Industrial, que necessitava una gran quantitat de mà d'obra; contingents humans que arribaren de la Catalunya interior, de les regions veïnes (València i Aragó), de Múrcia i d'Andalusia (Almeria). L'estudi inclou les variables socials i demogràfiques dels adrianencs i dels immigrants i un estudi complet de totes les grans empreses: origen, producció, accionistes, directius, treballadors, evolució econòmica o col·lectivitzacions (1936-1939).
Finalment, analitza la vida social, política i cultural del municipi, amb un ampli estudi de les associacions, partits polítics i sindicats des de principis de segle fins a la derrota de la democràcia i de les classes populars i treballadores que van defensar la Segona República. El treball és l’estudi dels estatuts, juntes, llistats d'afiliats, activitats i tendències polítiques. Demostra com el món associatiu va ser un espai de vida democràtica en un poble sotmès a la dictadura de la burgesia local i barcelonina, per un sistema polític com el de la Restauració o el de la Dictadura de Primo de Ribera, que els deixava al marge del sistema o els reprimia sense contemplacions. L'estudi de la formació de la classe obrera adrianenca i la seva participació política demostra la forta influència del republicanisme federal –ERC i en molta menor mesura de l'EEF– i de l'anarcosindicalisme (CNT), en la formació de la consciència de classe dels treballadors i dels sectors populars i la seva incorporació decidida a la lluita de classes.
El treball finalitza amb una anàlisi del cost humà de la Guerra Civil, de la repressió franquista i del retorn al poder de la dreta adrianenca de sempre, ara amb un Ajuntament feixista imposat per la força de les armes de la Dictadura Franquista.La tesis doctoral: Sant Adrià de Besòs del mundo rural al urbano. Industria e inmigración: la formación de la clase obrera (1900-1939), analiza el paso del mundo rural agrario al mundo urbano industrial y la formación de la clase obrera del municipio del Pla de Barcelona. Analiza cómo se ha desarrollado la colosal transformación económica, urbanística, social, política y cultural del municipio analizando los factores geográficos –río Besòs y mar Mediterráneo– y la influencia que, sobre el proceso de urbanización, industrialización y crecimiento, ejerció la capital de Cataluña. Explica cómo se produjo la transformación del territorio bajo la dirección de los propietarios de las tierras, los industriales y el arquitecto municipal –responsable de la planificación urbanística–, y según los intereses de los grandes propietarios barceloneses, que vendieron las tierras a industrias o urbanizaciones. El control del Ayuntamiento y el apoyo de las élites locales, propietarios de tierras, labradores, comerciantes y pequeños industriales; les permitió dirigir todo el proceso de crecimiento urbano y someter en las clases populares y trabajadoras inmigrantes y adrianense hasta la llegada de la Segunda República. La tesis analiza exhaustivamente la población adrianense que llegó al municipio entre el 1920-1935 atraída por la industrialización ligada a la Segunda Revolución Industrial, que necesitaba una gran cantidad de mano de obra; contingentes humanos que llegaron de la Cataluña interior, de las regiones vecinas (Valencia y Aragón), de Murcia y de Andalucía (Almería). El estudio incluye las variables sociales y demográficas de los adrianense y de los inmigrantes y un estudio completo de todas las grandes empresas: origen, producción, accionistas, directivos, trabajadores, evolución económica o colectivizaciones (1936-1939). Finalmente, analiza la vida social, política y cultural del municipio, con un amplio estudio de las asociaciones, partidos políticos y sindicatos desde principios de siglo hasta la derrota de la democracia y de las clases populares y trabajadoras que defendieron la Segunda República. El trabajo estudia los estatutos, juntas, listados de afiliados, actividades y tendencias políticas. Demuestra cómo el mundo asociativo fue un espacio de vida democrática en un pueblo sometido a la dictadura de la burguesía local y barcelonesa, por un sistema político como el de la Restauración o el de la Dictadura de Primo de Ribera, que los dejaba al margen del sistema o los reprimía sin contemplaciones. El estudio de la formación de la clase obrera adrianense y su participación política demuestra la fuerte influencia del republicanismo federal –ERC y en mucha menor medida de la EEF– y del anarcosindicalismo (CNT), en la formación de la conciencia de clase de los trabajadores y de los sectores populares y su incorporación decidida a la lucha de clases. El trabajo finaliza con un análisis del coste humano de la Guerra Civil, de la represión franquista y del regreso al poder de la derecha adrianense de siempre, ahora con un Ayuntamiento fascista impuesto por la fuerza de las armas de la Dictadura Franquista.
The doctoral thesis: Sant Adrià de Besòs from the rural to the urban world. Industry and immigration: the formation of the working class (1900-1939), analyzes the passage from the rural agrarian world to the urban industrial world and the formation of the working class in the municipality of the Pla de Barcelona. It analyzes how the colossal economic, urban, social, political and cultural transformation of the municipality has been developed through the analysis the geographical factors –Besòs River and the Mediterranean Sea– and the influence exerted by the capital of Catalonia on the process of urbanization, industrialization and growth. Its explains how the transformation of the territory under the leadership of landowners, industrialists and the municipal architect, responsible for urban planning, took place according to the interests of the great Barcelona owners, who sold land to industries or urbanizations. The control of the City Council and the support of the local elites, landowners, farmers, traders and small industrialists allowed them to control the entire process of urban growth and subjugate the immigrant and working classes and workers from St. Adrià until the arrival of the Second Republic. The thesis thoroughly analyzes the population from St. Adrià that reached the municipality between 1920-1935 attracted by industrialization related to the Second Industrial Revolution, which needed a large amount of labour; human contingents that arrived from the inner Catalonia, the neighbouring regions (Valencia and Aragon), from Murcia and Andalusia (Almeria). The study includes the social and demographic variables of locals and immigrants and a complete study of all the major companies: origin, production, shareholders, executives, workers, economic evolution or collectivization (1936-1939). Finally, the social, political and cultural life of the municipality is analyzed by means of a broad study of associations, political parties and unions since the beginning of the century until the defeat of democracy and the popular and working classes that defended the Second Republic. The work is the study of the statutes, boards, affiliated lists, activities and political tendencies. Proving demonstrating how the associative world was a place of democratic life in a town subject to the dictatorship of the local and Barcelona bourgeoisie, by a political system similar to that of the Restoration or of the Primo de Ribera Dictatorship that left them outside the system or repressed them without contemplations. The study of the formation of the working class in St. Adrià and its political participation shows the strong influence of federal republicanism –ERC and much to a lesser extent the EEF– and of anarcho-syndicalism (CNT), in the formation of class awareness among the workers and the popular sectors and their determined incorporation to the fight of classes. The work ends with an analysis of the human cost of the Civil War, the Franco repression and the return to power of the traditional right wing, now with a fascist city council imposed by the force of the arms of the Franco dictatorship.

Turnbull, Simone. "The portrayal of the working-class and working-class culture in Barry Hines's novels." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2014. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/8637/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Barry Hines’s representation of contemporary British workingclass and working-class culture. The corpus includes the writer’s nine novels: The Blinder published in 1966, A Kestrel for a Knave in 1968, First Signs in 1972, The Gamekeeper in 1975, The Price of Coal in 1979, Looks and Smiles in 1981, Unfinished Business in 1983, The Heart of It in 1994 and finally Elvis over England in 1998. The written work also comprises the play entitled Two Men from Derby which was first shown on BBC 1 on 21 February 1976 and subsequently broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 23 October 1976. Besides the scope of the author’s literary output has been enhanced thanks to the adaptation of four of his narratives to cinema through his collaboration with the film-maker Ken Loach. In 1969 the novel entitled The Kestrel for a Knave was adapted into the film named Kes. The Price of Coal was first written for a television series which broadcast in 1977 before being published in book form. The Gamekeeper, was adapted into a film in 1980. Looks and Smiles won the Young Cinema Award in the 1981 Cannes Film Festival. Barry Hines’s position as both a novelist as a scriptwriter has enabled his message to be more widespread. It is the tenor of his message that I study and analyse through the study of his literary output which spans the second half of the 20th century. I wish to question his use of supposedly straightforward realism, verging on naturalism, through the delineation of the geographical, the human, the social and the cultural backdrop. The writer’s literary treatment combines up-to-date details with traditional tenets which conjure up a nostalgic backdrop in the face of the economic, historical and social upheavals of the era. The outlook which remains steeped in the past underscore the timelessness of the working-class according to the narrator. Yet is this definition still relevant as the recent re-shaping of the microcosm is acknowledged, yet downplayed. The overall feeling of everlastingness highlight the entrapment of the contemporary working-class members who cannot come to terms with the successive changes undergone by British society. The writer’s staunch empathy and his use of humour assuage the bleakness of the habitat and of the social conditions. His optimism contrasts with the current virulent contempt levelled at the working-class as he advocates active participation as the only way-out.

O objetivo central desta pesquisa foi compreender a influência dos múltiplos contextos e da agência sobre a construção das carreiras de trabalhadoras das classes populares, especificamente as que atuam em serviços terceirizados de limpeza. A abordagem neobourdieusiana proposta assumiu como ponto de partida e influência central o arcabouço conceitual proposto pelo sociólogo brasileiro Jessé Souza (2012a, 2009, 2012b), cujo intuito declarado foi desvelar o ancoramento institucional das ideias subjacentes à persistente desigualdade social no Brasil. Objetivou-se, igualmente, atender às demandas, recorrentes no âmbito do campo de estudos de carreira, pela realização de pesquisas voltadas às trajetórias ocupacionais de trabalhadores das classes populares (GUEST; STURGES, 2007; THOMAS, 1989; WALTON; MALLON, 2004). A relevância atribuída às influências contextuais sobre as carreiras individuais resultou na aproximação dos contornos teóricos propostos por Bourdieu (1990) com elementos da sociologia psicológica de Bernard Lahire (2002, 2016); com vistas a caminhar para além das cercanias de uma abordagem disposicionalista, optou-se por contemplar a dimensão reflexiva da atividade humana a partir do conceito de conversações internas, introduzido pelo pragmatismo norte-americano e retomado pela socióloga britânica Margareth Archer (2003, 2007). Ao fim e ao cabo, acredita-se que os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para a necessidade de relativização das teses em favor da crescente individualização (BECK, 1997, 2010; GIDDENS, 1997, 2002; DUBAR, 2010) e destradicionalização experimentadas na alta modernidade (GIDDENS, 1991). Contrapõe-se, assim, à tendência dominante de homogeneização, a partir de um processo abstrato de generalização, das condições de possibilidade dos estratos superiores para o conjunto da população (MATTOS, 2006), dissociada de uma análise contextualizada das múltiplas condicionantes sociais e simbólicas. A priorização do foco das novas carreiras, sobretudo as ‘carreiras sem fronteiras’, em trajetórias profissionais em áreas de atividade econômica específicas, com destaque para os setores criativos e intensivos em tecnologia, e sua universalização para toda e qualquer trajetória ocupacional é assumido aqui como um caso concreto desta tendência. Na visão de alguns autores (ROPER; GANESH; INKSON, 2012), essa representação voluntarista de carreira flerta com a ideologia neoliberal, legitimando, assim, a transferência de responsabilidades e riscos do empregador para o empregado. Todavia, a aproximação de casos concretos, a exemplo das histórias de vida das interlocutoras desta pesquisa, é capaz de revelar uma realidade dissonante de tais pressupostos. A abordagem multicontextual e multinível adotada nesta tese permitiu que se verificassem a existência de múltiplas fronteiras interpostas ao longo das narrativas das interlocutoras, segmentadas em múltiplas trajetórias – familiar, social, de lazer, habitacional, educacional, profissional, moral e religiosa. Pôde-se observar a influência exercida pelos múltiplos contextos sobre a construção de um habitus precário, correspondente à posse de baixos volumes de capital familiar, social, cultural e econômico, e a níveis limitados de reflexividade − bounded agency (MACDONALD; MARSH, 2005; SCHOON; PETER; ROSS, 2012) −, com impactos sobre a inserção e o desenvolvimento das carreiras dessas mulheres em posições subalternas no mercado de trabalho.
The main objective of this research is to understand the influence of multiple contexts and the agency about the construction of the working class individuals careers, specifically those working in outsourced cleaning services. The proposed neobourdieusian approach took as a starting point and central influence the conceptual framework proposed by the Brazilian sociologist Jessé Souza (2012a, 2009, 2012b), whose declared intention was to unveil the institutional anchoring of the ideas underlying the persistent social inequality in Brazil. It was also intended to meet the recurrent demands in the field of career studies, for the realization of research focused on the careers of working class individuals (GUEST; STURGES, 2007; THOMAS, 1989; WALTON MALLON, 2004). The relevance attributed to contextual influences on careers resulted in the approximation of the theoretical framework proposed by Bourdieu (1990) with elements of Bernard Lahire s psychological sociology (2002, 2016); in order to go beyond a disposicionalist approach, this research contemplated reflexivity from the concept of internal conversations, introduced by American pragmatism and taken up by British sociologist Margaret Archer (2003, 2007). It is believed that the results of this research point to the need to relativize theses in favor of increasing individualization (BECK, 1997, 2010; GIDDENS, 1997, 2002; DUBAR, 2010) and distraditionalization experienced in high modernity (GIDDENS, 1991). It represents a counterpoint to the dominant trend of homogenizing the conditions of possibility of the upper strata for the whole of the population (MATTOS, 2006), thus, undervaluing the multiple social and symbolic constraints. The prioritization of the focus of the new careers, especially the boundaryless careers, on specific economic sectors, with prominence for the creative and intensive sectors in technology, and the universalization of findings for all occupational trajectories is assumed here as a concrete case of this trend. According to some authors (ROPER; GANESH INKSON, 2012), this voluntarist view of career flirts with neoliberal ideology, thus legitimizing the transfer of employers responsibilities and risks to the employees. However, concrete cases such as the life stories of the respondents in this research reveal a dissonant reality of the assumptions usually portrayed in the research associated with the new careers. The multi-contextual and multilevel approach adopted in this thesis revealed the existence of multiple boundaries interposed throughout the life stories of the respondents, which were segmented in multiple trajectories – family, social, leisure, housing, educational, professional, moral and religious. As a result, it was observed the decisive influence exerted by multiple contexts on the construction of a precarious habitus, corresponding to the possession of low volumes of family, social, cultural and economic capital, and at limited levels of reflexivity − bounded agency (MACDONALD; MARSH, 2005; SCHOON; PETER ROSS, 2012) −, which conditions the insertion and development of these women s careers in subordinated positions in the labor market.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on fieldwork, carried out over a five year period, amongst a group of young, male, football fans. The question of what football means to its loyal adherents is asked and answers such as a religion, a quasi religion, or a magical ceremony are analysed and discussed. The language of the fans in terms of songs, chants, and graffiti, as well as emblems, scarves and their way of dress is e camined as a development of this analysis, and finally the position of football as a central interest in the lives of the fans is discussed. Throughout ethnographic examples and case studies from the group under study are dispersed in the relevant sections, linking the twin themes of violence and football, and, in the case of this particular group, putting the emphasis firmly on football. The thesis also looks at the history of violence at football grounds and at other places over the years where young males from working class backgrounds have been involved. Issues of class and culture, especially the sub-culture of the young and the sub-culture of violence are also examined with special reference to young males and their occupation of the football terraces. Statistics on arrests and ejections at football matches are analysed and correlated with research already carried out on football related offences, convictions and punishments. Particular attention is paid to the role of the group as an intervening variable on the football terraces between the individual and the crowd on the football terraces.

This work incorporates and discusses the issue of the recent changes in the Brazilian social structure, with the rise since 2003, a portion of the population to a supposed "new middle class". This discussion is needed and is relevant since consumption practices indicate social position, a new ethos of work and the lifestyle of people and groups in society. The goal is to understand the practices of food consumption in the residential families Village of Roses in Divinópolis (MG). The work started from two premises: (1) the increase in income and consumption capacity alone do not determine change of social class; (2) there were changes in food items consumed by the residential residents. Data collection occurred in two stages. The first phase of field research was quantitative, while in the second we used three qualitative techniques, namely: observation, interview and focus group. The theoretical basis we discuss the concept of social classes, the recent changes in the Brazilian social stratification we discuss, we discuss the issue of food consumption and presents some characteristics of the mining cuisine. Empirical research has confirmed the assumption that the residential residents have not changed their social class, because although there was increased income and consumption, their culture, their habits and lifestyle are still the same, that is, belong to a working class. The second assumption has not been confirmed as the residential residents maintained the same food culture with little change in their food purchasing intentions and changed only superficially consumption of some items. They still maintain high fat diet, consuming too much sugar, foods that contain too much salt and sodium and low consumption of fruits and vegetables. It concludes that although there has been improvement in the economic and social conditions of the residential families, your eating patterns are still the same and are deeply rooted in the past and that it is a working-class poor. The lifestyle and social status of residents is characteristic of the low income population, and they do not recognize themselves as "middle class" in terms of their life stories and maintain any hope of upward social mobility in the future
O presente trabalho incorpora e problematiza a questão das recentes transformações na estrutura social brasileira, com a ascensão, desde 2003, de uma parcela da população para uma suposta "nova classe média". Essa discussão se impõe e é pertinente uma vez que as práticas de consumo sinalizam a posição social, um novo ethos do trabalho e o estilo de vida das pessoas e grupos na sociedade. O objetivo é compreender as práticas de consumo alimentar de famílias do residencial "Vila das Roseiras" em Divinópolis (MG). O trabalho partiu de duas premissas: (1) o aumento da renda e da capacidade de consumo, por si só, não determinam mudança de classe social; (2) houve mudanças nos itens de alimentos consumidos pelos moradores do residencial. A coleta dos dados ocorreu em duas etapas. A primeira fase da pesquisa de campo foi quantitativa, enquanto que na segunda utilizou-se três técnicas qualitativas, a saber: a observação, a entrevista e o grupo focal. Na fundamentação teórica são feitas considerações sobre o conceito de classes sociais, aborda-se as recentes alterações na estratificação social brasileira, discute-se a questão do consumo alimentar e apresenta-se algumas características da culinária mineira. A pesquisa empírica confirmou a premissa de que os moradores do residencial não mudaram sua classe social, pois apesar de ter havido aumento da renda e do consumo, sua cultura, seus hábitos e o estilo de vida ainda são os mesmos, ou seja, pertencem a uma classe trabalhadora. A segunda premissa não foi confirmada já que os moradores do residencial mantiveram a mesma cultura alimentar com poucas alterações em suas intenções de compra de alimentos e alteraram apenas de forma superficial o consumo de alguns itens. Eles ainda mantêm dieta rica em gorduras, consomem muito açúcar, alimentos que contêm muito sal e sódio e reduzido consumo de frutas e verduras. Conclui-se que apesar de ter havido melhoria na condições econômicas e sociais das famílias do residencial, seus padrões alimentares ainda são os mesmos e estão muito enraizados no passado e que se trata de uma classe trabalhadora de baixa renda. O estilo de vida e posição social dos moradores é característico da população de baixa renda, sendo que eles se não se reconhecem como sendo de “classe média” em função de suas histórias de vida e mantêm alguma esperança em ascender socialmente no futuro

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines what the two sides of class-- capital and working class --have meant in left parlance, what these meanings imply about class struggle, and how they were put into political practice through Communist Parties and trade unions. Ideas about class and strategies for class struggle continue to be central to the left, as the various ways these are conceptualized give rise to very different answers to some common and persistent questions: Who is legitimately a worker and when? Why, how and with what result are certain struggles delayed or subsumed within others? At what point does self-criticism cross over to counter-revolutionary dissent? And what might continuing schisms over these questions tell us about traditional left organizations? The thesis traces the development of 'the left' from its key conceptual subject, the working class, through its two most widely-adopted organizational strategies in order to examine the poverty of the left's analytical and political traditions, particularly as regards (1) the notion of socialism as an alternative management plan and (2) ideas about capital and working class that stressed the embodiments of power relations rather than those relations themselves, and which were lifted directly from capital's own definitions of productivity. Finally, the thesis argues that insights from long-neglected Marxisms, certain critical post-structuralisms and the political strategies of some emergent anti-capitalist networks together offer the opportunity to produce a more fluid, and more liberatory left, imbued with: (1) an understanding of class as a relationship that does not inhere to individuals or organizations, and (2) a notion of the working class as a permanent resistance that has nothing whatever to do with a particular ideology or strategy; with (3) an analysis which emphasizes situational relationships of power that are at once racialized, gendered, sexualized, and classed; and (4) a political approach which draws means and ends together in an emphasis on resistance as the troubling of order, and revolution as a process of refusal.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Depuis 1956, le cinéma britannique a régulièrement utilisé la figure du 'working class hero' pour représenter la culture ouvrière et les aléas socioéconomiques survenus à cette classe au Royaume-Uni, que ce soit pendant la période dite d'abondance ou des Trente Glorieuses (fin des années 1950-fin des années 1970) ou celle des prémisses puis de l'intensification de la crise (début des années 1980-fin des années 2000). A partir d'un corpus d'environ trois cents films, cette étude met en résonance le cinéma et le contexte social, économique et politique contemporains afin de cerner le mode de vie spécifique de la classe ouvrière et les problèmes récurrents qui l'agitent (menace d'embourgeoisement ou de prolétarisation), tout en la replaçant au cœur des débats qui ont irrigué la société britannique depuis cinquante ans et auxquels le héros ouvrier sert de catalyseur (méritocratie, société sans classes, inégalités, place des femmes et des minorités). Par-delà sa représentativité sociologique, l'intérêt suscité par le 'working class hero' au fil des décennies et le fait que son identité repose davantage sur l'exacerbation d'une masculinité en souffrance que sur une conscience de classe clairement établie permettent d'envisager l'émergence d'une véritable figure mythique dans l'imaginaire national britanniqueSince 1956, British cinema has regularly used the figure of the working class hero to represent working-class culture and the social and economic ups and downs it went through whether it was during the so-called Affluent Society (late 1950s-late 1970s) or the early signs of what was then to become an intensifying crisis (early 1980s-late 2000s). Based on a corpus of around three hundred films, this study relates British cinema to its contemporary social, economic and political context in order to attempt a definition of working-class idiosyncrasies and the recurring problems this class has had to face (threat of embourgeoisement or proletarianisation). It also attempts to replace the working class into the heart of all the debates that have stirred British society over the last fifty years and for which the working class hero has become a catalyst (meritocracy, classless society, inequalities, the place of women and minorities in society). Beyond his sociological representativeness, the continuing interest the working class hero has aroused and the fact that his identity rests on an exacerbated portrayal of suffering masculinity rather than a clearly defined class consciousness enable one to contemplate the emergence of a true mythical figure in the British national imagination

Full textAbstract:
The thesis looks at a town called Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The focus is upon the extent of changes in working class culture that have issued from the loss of industry and the collapse of the local economy. Alongside this picture of a community in change the main body of the thesis is concerned to develop an account of working class people as necessarily suffering because of their changed position in the national economy. The thesis locates the most personally felt tragedies in the Social sphere and is an exercise in socio-analysis: that is, an attempt to expiate the pain of the people involved in these experiences through their being offered the possibility of recognising their personal plight as a social destiny. The thesis is a product of three years of work that has generated around 400,000 words worth of transcribed material that records the thoughts of the people of the town. The vast bulk of the interviews is with people who are socially vulnerable and marginal but I have also tried to involve the local police and health services. The thesis, therefore, contributes to our knowledge of the deeper effects of contemporary economic and social organisation. The task of analysis utilised the works of diverse social thinkers, from Bourdieu to Habermas but the analysis of the personal has rested heavily on the Phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and the philosophical meditations of Wittgenstein and others, including, Charles Taylor and Stephen Mulhall. The central thesis, that working class culture has become asocial, atomised, alienated, rests upon the theoretical work carried out in making sense of what is actually being said by the people who I interviewed. Indeed, the conclusion points toward a theory of alienation and dispossession that has robbed working class people of any meaningful human life: one in which they experience a sense of value and esteem.

Petty, Sue. "Working-class women and contemporary British literature." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2009. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/5441.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis involves a class-based literary criticism of working-class women s writing. I particularly focus on a selection of novels by three working-class women writers - Livi Michael, Caeia March and Joan Riley. Their work emerged in the 1980s, the era of Thatcherism, which is a definitive period in British history that spawned a renaissance of working-class literature. In my readings of the novels I look at three specific aspects of identity: gender, sexuality and race with the intersection of social class, to examine how issues of economic positioning impinge further on the experience of respectively being a woman, a lesbian and a black woman in contemporary British society. I also appropriate various feminist theories to argue for the continued relevance of social class in structuring women s lives in late capitalism. Working-class writing in general, and working-class women s writing in particular, has historically been under-represented in academic study, so that by highlighting the work of these three lesser known writers, and by indicating that they are worthy of study, this thesis is also complicit in an act of feminist historiography.

Full textAbstract:
Ken Loach has been playing an important role for the British cinema for more than five decades now. His work has gained international regocnition and recieved various prestigious awards. Some of his films were even quite successful at the box office, nevertheless many people have still not heard of him. That is regrettable, because Loach is without doubt one of the best in his field. This paper is meant to show what distinguishes his films from the work of other directors and explains why his films are of such great value.
Loach's career can be broadly divided into three stages, which will be specified in the first chapter of the paper. Afterwards three examples were chosen to illustrate Loach's working methods and the results of these. The films Kes (1969), Riff-Raff (1991) and My Name Is Joe (1998) are dealt with in separate chapters in chronological order, in this way the development of Loach's career can be reproduced. First the contents and backgrounds of the particular films will be briefly explained, followed by the analysis of important aspects of Loach's work based on the examples.Ken Loach ist seit mehr als fünf Jahrzehnten ein wichtiger Teil der britischen Filmszene. Längst hat seine Arbeit auch international Anerkennung gefunden und wurde mit vielen renommierten Auszeichnungen bedacht. Einige seiner Filme liefen sogar an den Kinokassen recht erfolgreich, trotzdem ist er für viele Menschen noch immer kein Begriff. Das ist sehr bedauerlich, denn Loach gehört zweifelsohne zu den ganz Großen in seinem Fach. Diese Arbeit soll aufzeigen, worin seine Filme sich von den Werken anderer Regisseure unterscheiden und warum sie so wertvoll sind. Loachs Werdegang lässt sich grob in drei Phasen unterteilen, welche im ersten Teil der Arbeit näher beschrieben werden. Anschließend wurden drei Beispiele ausgewählt, mit deren Hilfe Loachs Arbeitsweise und die dadurch erzielte Wirkung veranschaulicht werden. Den Filmen Kes (1969),Riff-Raff (1991) und My Name Is Joe (1998) ist in chronologischer Reihenfolge jeweils ein Kapitel gewidmet, um auf diese Weise auch eine Entwicklung in Loachs Laufbahn nachvollziehen zu können. Die Inhalte und die Hintergründe der einzelnen Filme werden zunächst kurz erläutert, um dann anschließend auf wichtige Aspekte von Loachs Schaffen anhand der Beispiele einzugehen.

Fordham, John. "James Hanley : modernism and the working class." Thesis, Middlesex University, 1997. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/6414/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the work of James Hanley (1901-1985), a working-class ordinary seaman who became a professional writer for most of his adult life. His reputation was made originally during the 1930s when he was often identified with the emergent group of industrial-based' proletarian' realists. However, Hanley's writing radically departs from conventional notions of realism and will be shown to have closer associations with both mainstream and sub-cultural forms of modernism. Theoretically, the thesis is grounded in Georg Lukacs's History and Class Consciousness, which argues that the 'totality' of social relations is made intelligible only through a working-class realization of the dialectic. His social insight is then adapted and, along with other compatible Marxist readings, developed for a literary theory which argues that, read dialectically, working-class interventions reveal the conflictual and contradictory aspects of literary formations and movements. Hanley's life and career is characterized by what is consistently represented as a 'class struggle' at both the social and textual levels: a pervasive phenomenon whereby marginal initiatives both resist and affirm the ideology of the dominant culture. Hanley is also interesting in terms of his spatial and temporal range which, unlike that of other working class writers, is confined neither to that moment of the 1930s, nor to the workplace, but addresses the broad spectrum of 20th-century British history and culture, including the crisis moments of two world wars, and the salient questions of modernity: political engagement and retreat, individuality and community, country and city. Methodologically, such a complexity is more fully explained by an intertextual approach which locates Hanley within both a European tradition and various currents of contemporary writing. It is argued that class is the key determining factor in understanding both these processes, and the analagous problematics of Hanley's social trajectory, each of which are shown to have profound textual consequences. Empirically, the social and cultural sources of his work are traced from the place of his origins, Liverpool, through the domain of the sea, to the modem world of metropolitan publishing and finally to rural Wales, his adopted country. The thesis concludes that interpreting modernism through the category of class has implications for developing general theories of literary culture: namely that cultural phenomena cannot be characterized by any singular factor or process, but are more adequately interpreted dialectically, that is to say as the result of a struggle between competing meanings of tradition, reality, history and art.

Resumo: A história da estrada de ferro da Bahia ao Francisco, desde a segunda metade do século, foi marcada por diversas experiências de trabalhadores. Naquele período, imigrantes, nacionais e escravos estiveram presentes no mundo de trabalho ferroviário. Enquanto alguns desses homens lutaram para garantir direitos, segundo suas tradições culturais, outros enfrentaram os domínios senhoriais em busca da liberdade de ¿viver por si¿. Nos anos que se seguiram à abolição, outros personagens, diante da experiência da exploração, também se organizaram, desenvolveram práticas associativas e formas de auxílio mútuo, criaram espaços de sociabilidades e construíram mobilizações grevistas na Bahia. Assim, além de buscar compreender as relações de trabalho, esse estudo procura reconstituir algumas dessas experiências de trabalhadores da estrada de ferro da Bahia ao São Francisco, entre o final do século XIX e início do XX
Abstract: The history of the railway from Bahia to Francisco, since the second half of the century, was marked with several workers¿ experiences. Immigrants, nationals, slaves were present in the universe of railway work at that time. While same of these workers struggled to guarantee their rights according to their cultural traditions, others faced the power of owners in search of liberty of ¿self-living¿. The following years after abolition, others, in the face of exploration experience, also organized, developed associate practices and ways of mutual help, creating places of solidarity, struggled for rights and justice in Bahia. Therefore, this study search to understand work¿s relationship, search to rebuild same of these experiences of railway workers, between the end of XIX century and beginning of XX century

This study utilizes a multi-method approach to analyzing the experience of working class and lower class women's experience in graduate school. A quantitative analysis is used to determine the number of working class and lower class females in graduate school using parents' education as a proxy. Most first-generation females in graduate school were found in Research I universities in the field of Education. A qualitative analysis includes semi-structured interviews of 34 women from two Research I institutions in the Southwest in the fields of Education, Psychology, Health Sciences and Biology. Data consists of the women's definitions of social class, values and experiences as well as their perceptions of graduate school culture and their mobility process during their graduate school experience. The women in this study revealed a contemporary definition of social class unlike academic Marxist and other sociological definitions. Their experiences of graduate student culture reveal a direct conflict with their social class values. Finally, their mobility experience in graduate school reveals contradictory feelings of pride and hiding their accomplishments from family.

Hobbs, Mark. "Visual representations of working-class Berlin, 1924–1930." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2182/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the urban topography of Berlin’s working-class districts, as seen in the art, architecture and other images produced in the city between 1924 and 1930. During the 1920s, Berlin flourished as centre of modern culture. Yet this flourishing did not exist exclusively amongst the intellectual elites that occupied the city centre and affluent western suburbs. It also extended into the proletarian districts to the north and east of the city. Within these areas existed a complex urban landscape that was rich with cultural tradition and artistic expression. This thesis seeks to redress the bias towards the centre of Berlin and its recognised cultural currents, by exploring the art and architecture found in the city’s working-class districts. The thesis adopts Henri Lefebvre’s premise that each society creates its own space in which it lives, works, and sustains its cultural identity. On this basis, working-class culture and the spaces in which it was practiced, are treated with equal weight. The thesis begins by examining how the laissez-faire economics of the German Empire (1871–1914), combined with a massive influx of rural migrants into Berlin, creating a complex industrial landscape, whose working-class inhabitants retained many pastoral traditions. The thesis moves on to study the works of a number of artists active in Berlin between 1924 and 1930, using examples of their work to examine the unique nature of the working-class districts, and the culture and traditions that took place within them. The second half of the thesis explores the working-class districts from an explicitly political perspective. The extensive house building programme that took place across Berlin throughout the twenties is explored in all its varied and conflicting political perspectives. What emerges is a picture of a growing schism between Berlin’s Social Democratic government, and Communist supporters in the working-class districts. 1929 emerges as a critical year in which political contestations of space between the two parties and their supporters reached new levels of hostility, as working-class culture clashed against Social Democratic urban policy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that respectability was central to the core values of the great majority of ordinary workers living in late- nineteenth-century York. This respectability expressed a universal aspiration which transcended class barriers and was based on an implicit Christian discipline and morality. It met the need of morally autonomous individuals to express their dignity and identities, but for working people it also provided a strategy for coping with life's economic and other uncertainties. The thesis uses oral evidence alongside written sources, especially Rowntree's Poverty survey, to focus on basic worker attitudes, shaped and expressed at work, in the home, and through institutions of self-help, the family, religion and leisure. It contributes to the debate about working-class identity and the link between culture and socio-economic differentiation, concluding that expressions of respectability can be found throughout the working classes with even the poorest aspiring to join self-help organisations and become worthy citizens. Gender-based notions of the male breadwinner and female homemaker are confirmed as a widely-accepted constituent of what it meant to be respectable. The existence of a widespread and diffusive culture of respectability is confirmed by recent interpretations of the persistence of a parallel, diffusive Christianity among working people. Forms of leisure such as moderate drinking, are shown to have been compatible with respectable values as defined by working people themselves, whatever the definitions handed down to historians in the evidence of middle-class reformers. Concepts of rough and respectable were employed at the time and remain valuable but their meanings are problematic. Reformers from the middle and working classes, seeking moral improvement, frequently targeted marginal groups and so failed to appreciate the extent to which a wider spectrum of men and women from different social classes shared a universal set of values that distinguished and defined the respectable citizen.
