In der Glorifizierung des Berufsbildungssystem der Schweiz bleibt oftmals ungenannt, wie viel Mühe einzelne Jugendliche zu bewältigen haben, bis sie einen Ausbildungsplatz erhalten. Von der Bildungspolitik als »gefährdet« eingestuft, verfügen sie nicht nur über geringere Ausbildungschancen, auch stehen sie Lehrpersonen und Berufsberatungen gegenüber, die grundsätzlich an ihrer Ausbildungsreife zweifeln. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigt Luca Preite, weshalb sich »gefährdete« Jugendliche in der Beratungspraxis des Übergangssystems oft quer stellen: Sich zu widersetzen ist schließlich die einzige verbleibende Möglichkeit, um den eigenen Werdegang aller Ungleichheit zum Trotz mitzugestalten.

This book does to sex what other sociologists did to culture : it shows that sex, no longer defined by religion, now plays a role in the economy and can yield tangible benefits in the realms of money, status, and occupation. How do people accumulate sexual capital, and what are the returns for investing money, time, knowledge, and energy in establishing and enhancing our sexual selves ? Dana Kaplan and Eva Illouz disentangle the current cultural politics of heterosexual life, arguing that sex – that messy amalgam of sexual affects and experiences – has increasingly assumed an economic character. Some may opt for plastic surgery to beautify their face or body, while others may consume popular sex advice or attend seduction classes. Beyond particular practices such as these, the authors trace an emerging form of “neoliberal” sexual capital, which is the ability to glean self-appreciation from sexual encounters and to use this self-value to foster employability, as exemplified by Silicon Valley sex parties.This highly original book will appeal to students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and cultural studies and to anyone interested in the nature of sex and how it is changing today

When Cities Lobby tells the story of what happens when city officials rely on professional lobbyists to represent their interests in state government. In a political environment characterized by intense urban-rural polarization and growing hostility between cities and state legislatures, the ability to lobby can be a powerful tool for city leaders seeking to amplify their voices in state politics. The cities that lobby at the highest rates include large urban centers that have been historically underrepresented in our federal system--and, increasingly, blue-leaning cities engaged in preemption battles against Republican-led legislatures. But high-income places have also figured out how to strategically use lobbyists, and these communities have become particularly adept at lobbying to secure additional grant money and shift state funding in a direction that favors them. How did we end up with a system where political officials in different levels of government often choose to pay lobbyists to facilitate communication between them, and are the potential benefits worth the costs? When Cities Lobby demonstrates that the answer is deeply rooted in both the nature of the federal system and the evolution of the professional lobbying industry. And while some states have recently debated measures to restrict lobbying by local governments, these efforts will likely do more harm than good in the absence of structural reforms to the lobbying industry more broadly.
