In this chapter, I discuss the causes and consequences of masculine domination in sexuality. My main theoretical inspiration is Bourdieu’s theory of masculine domination and his key concept symbolic violence. The Norwegian TV-series SKAM is my empirical case. I will trace the historical roots of masculine domination, and discuss how this puts limits on female sexuality, integrity and dignity. By identifying “the elephant in the room”, masculine domination, Bourdieu claims that we can see sexual harassment as a type of social control of women and gay people, using shame as the key control mechanism. I will analyse the reproduction of masculine dominance and symbolic violence through language; by the use of words like “whore” and “homo”, and through masculine stigmatizations of “good” and “bad” girls. The TV-series SKAM has had a considerable impact on the how Norwegians talk about sexual harassment, homophobia and other religions. SKAM shows how the youth can strengthen their self-esteem by dismantling the taboos and making them aware of social control mechanisms. In this chapter, I am addressing teachers to use SKAM to discuss sexual harassment, and to continuing dismantling cultural taboos.

WHAT ARE ACCOUNTABILITY ANS SOCIAL CONTROL MECHANISMS? RESUMO: Para melhor compreendermos o que são accountability e mecanismos de controle social, uma breve contextualização sobre a Democracia Liberal Representativa e Governança se faz necessária, passando pelos pontos de vista da Ciência Política, da Ciência da Administração Pública e, por fim, do Direito, com ênfase em Direito Administrativo e Direito e Desenvolvimento. Na expressão mecanismos de controle social são considerados os instrumentos, as ferramentas e os recursos, que compõe a engrenagem relacional da accountability. São duas formas de olhar para o mesmo fenômeno, apenas que na primeira ele é visto como um regime relacional político-jurídico e, na segunda, como um conjunto de ferramentas e recursos, que, unidos por uma engenharia ou arquitetura, formam um regime institucionalizado de controle. Por tais razões, a afirmação de Mulgan (2000), de que a accountability é um meio de controle, entendido em seu sentido amplo. De outro lado, porém, accountability pode ser, por vezes, mais do que um mecanismo de controle, mas o próprio controle.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Accountability. Controle social. Conceitos. Definições.ABSTRACT: In order to better understand what accountability and social control mechanisms are, a brief contextualization of Representative Liberal Democracy and Governance is necessary, from the points of view of Political Science, Public Administration Science and, finally, Law, with emphasis on Administrative Law and Law and Development. In the expression social control mechanisms are considered the instruments, tools and resources that make up the relational gear of accountability. They are two ways of looking at the same phenomenon, only that in the first it is seen as a political-legal relational regime and, in the second, as a set of tools and resources, which, united by engineering or architecture, form an institutionalized regime of control. For these reasons, Mulgan's (2000) statement that accountability is a means of control, understood in its broad sense, and, on the other hand, however, accountability may sometimes be more than a control mechanism, but control itself.KEYWORDS:  Accountability.

This chapter reviews the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying social development during middle childhood. The author focuses on social abilities (e.g., theory of mind and empathy) and prosocial behavior (e.g., sharing and helping). The chapter discusses studies and theories on developmental changes in these social phenomena and references evidence of neurocognitive underpinnings where available. The author argues that changes in social development during childhood can best be explained in developments in regulatory processes, such as behavioral control, emotion regulation, conflict processing, and self-other control. The author refers to this cluster of functions as social control mechanisms. Changes in these social control mechanisms are driven by the maturation of neural circuitry comprising prefrontal cortical regions and their interactions with subcortical regions. Crucially, while the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying social development are distinct for different abilities and behaviors, it appears to be domain-general processes that predominantly shape social development during middle childhood.

RESUMENEn este artículo se plantea un análisis comparativo de los mecanismos de representación política y control social implantados en dos sociedades coloniales: las Filipinas españolas y la Indochina francesa. Este tema forma parte de una investigación más amplia centrada en la selección de las élites locales filipinas durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y los proyectos de reforma de los sistemas de representación local vietnamita bajo dominio colonial francés. Se trazan en clave comparativa las principales similitudes y diferencias con los mecanismos de representación y control social desplegados en ambos escenarios, aspectos claves a la hora de comprender las razones que determinaron el final de ambas experiencias coloniales en el sudeste asiático.PALABRAS CLAVE: Filipinas, Indochina, colonialismo, elecciones locales, podermunicipal.ABSTRACTThis study presents a comparative analysis of the political representation and socialcontrol implemented in two colonial societies: the Spanish Philippines and French Indochina. This topic is part of a broader study focused on the selection of the native elite in the Spanish Philippines in the nineteenth century and on the projects to reform local representation in French Indochina. The main similarities and differences in the representation and social control mechanisms in both scenarios are described as they are key aspects when it comes to understanding the end of these two colonial experiences in South East Asia. This diverse tool kit included the political use of productive resources, individual conduct reports, the development of clientelist networks, the manipulation of religious beliefs, abuse and repression.KEY WORDS: Philippines, Indochina, colonialism, municipal elections, local power.

Рассмотрены принципы обеспечения заданного уровня качества обслуживания QoS в беспроводных сетях, позволяющие достигнуть устойчивого функционирования программных приложений реального времени за счет тонкой настройки приоритезации генерируемого ими трафика. Основное внимание уделяется механизму управления доступом на основе конкуренции и контролируемого доступа, а также их расширениям. Затронуты вопросы инкапсуляции базовых механизмов управления в решения более высоких уровней EDCA и TXOP. Приведены расчетные значения соответствующих параметров. The principles of ensuring a given level of quality of QoS service in wireless networks are considered, which allow achieving the stable functioning of real-time software applications by fine-tuning the prioritization of the traffic generated by them. The main focus is on the competition-based access control mechanism and controlled access, as well as their extensions. The issues of encapsulation of basic control mechanisms in solutions of higher levels of EDCA and TXOP are touched upon. The calculated values of the corresponding parameters are given.

Life course theory focuses attention on the impact of history, timing, and important transitions in life trajectories. In this chapter, the life course analysis of boomer drug users reveals that drug trajectories were not developmental. Instead, they were discontinuous, interrupted phases dependent on social context and situations that changed over time. The chapter provides a closer inspection of the turning points into and out of drug use phases to better understand the causes of problematic drug use and what resources are needed to control it. In contrast to law enforcement and treatment professionals, who view problematic drug use as a lack of self-control, research finds that informal social control mechanisms are more important for maintaining or regaining control over drug use. Life course theory predicts that missing critical transitions in life, such as graduating from high school, leads to fewer informal social controls. The stories in this chapter reveal the negative impact of juvenile incarceration, which did not help anyone become drug free, but instead plunged youths into a criminal culture and broke their social bonds to mainstream social networks and access to informal social control mechanisms.

The conclusion revisits the three major inquiries addressed in the text, drawing together the evidence and contexts provided in the previous seven chapters. The first investigates the role of objective settings, such as the systemic and symbolic violence of landscapes and semiotic systems of racialization in justifying or triggering moments of explicit subjective violence such as the Lattimer Massacre. The second inquiry, traces the trajectory of immigrant groups into contemporary patriotic neoliberal subjects. In other terms, it asks how an oppressed group can become complicit with oppression later in history. The third inquiry traces the development of soft forms of social control and coercion across the longue durée of the twentieth century. Specifically, it asks how vertically integrated economic and governmental structures such as neoliberalism and governmentality which serve to stabilize the social antagonisms of the past are enunciated in everyday life.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine, within a context of manufacturing transformation, whether corporate responsibility for employees (CRE) promotes the service innovation performance (SIP) of the firm; whether this effect is mediated by employee innovative behavior (EIB), and how two control mechanisms (process-control (PC) and outcome-control mechanism) moderate the relationship. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on social exchange and control mechanism theory, this paper establishes a conceptual model and adopts a hierarchical regression analysis to examine the model with a sample of 110 manufacturing firms from China. Findings The study finds that CRE positively affects SIP. EIB mediates such effect. Output-control weakens the effect of CRE on EIB, and PC does not impact on the relationship. Practical implications The findings suggest that, facing tremendous pressure in manufacturing transformation, firms must be cautious in treating their employees. Given that EIB is crucial to improving the SIP, and in turn to meet the ever upgrading customer demands, firms ought to actively take responsibilities to protect employees’ interests, and cautiously adopt control mechanisms. Thus employees could be motivated to involve in service innovation actively. This effect not only benefits employees with a sustainable career but also help the firm survive in this tough transformation period. Originality/value This study is one of the first (if any) research that examining the impact of CRE on SIP and EIB. The findings are an extension of the existing research, and show the explanation potential of corporate social responsibility on EIB and SIP in a difficult time such as manufacturing transformation.

This paper investigates the role of trust and control in networks of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a focus on both their direct and interaction effects on value creation. To delve into the interplay between trust and control, we unpack control mechanisms into three different forms: output, process, and social control. Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of 58 Italian SME networks based on formal agreements. Results show that the competitiveness and sustainability of inter-firm networks require trust-based relationships among entrepreneurs. Additionally, the adoption of output control mechanisms reinforces the positive link between trust and value creation, whereas a substitution effect exists between trust and process control and, with limited significance, between trust and social control.
