Works Council

When a director's market is transferred to a self-reliant retailer, the parties involved, for example the employer, employees or the union, should consider whether a works council needs to be established. This study examines the exact process of setting up a works council and the factors that contribute to its success or failure. The book’s analysis of the process of successful and failed works council formations focuses firstly on the chronology of triggers, corporative actors and procedures. Secondly, the study concentrates on structures, agents and their interactions, which corresponds back to structuration theory. The author analyses changes in co-determination, which is understood as a social practice, on the basis of five empirically collected cases.

Purpose Drawing on sociological theories of Giddens, Bourdieu and Goffman, the purpose of this paper is to explore how different relationships are characterized between actors in interaction and determine whether social theories of practice resonate as being practical to managers. Design/methodology/approach In the empirical investigations, the authors employ the Delphi method whereby the authors “elevate” six highly experienced marketing practitioners in Dubai and Bangkok, each in different industries and from different cultural backgrounds, to designated “expert” positions in exploring the practical relevance of the practice-based theories of Bourdieu, the dramaturgy of Goffman and the structuration theory of Giddens in understanding practical experiences of managing in business-to-business networks. Findings The results show that aspects of these theories are consistent with practitioners’ experiences in many ways but the theories themselves do not appear to resonate with the modernist practical consciousness of the participants as being particularly pragmatic or practically useful except as resources they could selectively borrow from as bricoleurs of changing action. Originality/value Social practice theories appear rather too abstract and complex to practical actors. It is therefore paradoxical that social practice theories do not appear as sufficiently “handy” or “ready to hand” in Heidegger’s (1962) terms; being in need of translation into practical usefulness. It would appear that social practice theories can be a useful analytical vehicle for the academic analyst but cannot resonate with the modernist consciousness of the practical actor.

The phenomenon of social change that occurred in Wonokitri Village, Sub-District of Tosari, Pasuruan Regency was very pronounced from the early 2000s until 2019. Changes not only change physical conditions even socially and economically also change very rapidly. These changes occur through planning and the role of parties from internal and external. The formulation of the problem includes: 1) who are the agents and structures in social change? Wonokitri Village (formerly known as Desa Adat) becomes a Tourism Village; The analysis in this research uses Anthony Giddens' structuration theory which explains the concept of agent and structure, space and time, as well as the relationship of structure with agent's social practice. This type of research is qualitative research with a case study method. Data collection uses observation, which is observing the condition of the village environment and various social practices of agents and the Wonokitri community in relation to the research context, interviews with key and additional informants, and gathering various documentation.The results showed that there were three main agents (tayuban / teropan: pardi and budi, jeep tourism and homestay: sukir) from the Wonokitri community who had influence in the community. The role he does in social change is through socialization, coordination, synergy and cooperation. The existing structure comes from the Wonokitri community and their social practices which are motivated by their practical and discursive awareness as well as the role of community leaders (Village Head: Pak Iksan), traditional leaders (Customary Chair: Pak Kadik) through their structural policies. The relationship between the agent and the structure in change occurs through the scheme of domination structure (control of the agent over the structure), continuing significance (the invitation of the agent to the structure), and achieving the scheme of legitimacy (justification for the agent's efforts by the structure).

Virtual Structures

The aim of this paper is to complete the concept of structure, in structuration theory, with the concept of worldview. Giddens' structuration theory emphasizes structure as a result as well as a medium for the regularization of social practice. It emphasizes structure in cognition but ignores the structure of society. As a result, the theory does not explain how social practices that produce virtual structures can exist and be practiced continuously in society, before virtual structures are formed in agents’ cognition? Therefore, the concept of structure needs to be complemented with the concept of worldview, which emphasizes the existence of a social structure that reveals itself through cultural components. Systematic reviews, on MacIntyre's thoughts and various thoughts related to the worldview, show that cultural components produce the regularization of social practice. The result is the formation of the worlview as the medium for social practice. It means that the worldview concept emphasizes the correspondence of the society's objective structure and the cognitive structures. This concept can show the existence of the structure of society and the influence of cultural components in it on the regularization of social practice and the formation of the worldview. Worldview concept answers the research problem.

AbstractThis paper applies structuration theory and semiotics to interpret the results of a recently completed total coverage pedestrian survey to the east of Yaxuna, Yucatan. Data from this survey suggest that a social group centered at the site of Tzacauil vied for political clout in the Late Preclassic period through the construction of a triadic acropolis 3 km from Yaxuna. This group also initiated but did not complete a new experimental construction: a long-distance causeway between the two sites. A central facet of structuration is the instability of social practice. Rules can be altered when transposed to new contexts, while durable resources, such as causeways and acropolis groups, do not ensure the solidity of the coalitions they are meant to represent. Despite an outlay of labor never again seen to the east of Yaxuna, Tzacauil had a rather short occupation. Though they never completed the causeway, the people of Tzacauil did succeed in transforming the conventional understanding of causeways. These events support a semiotic approach since they show that materiality is contingent: it has a potential that people may or may not work to realize.

Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI) yang berada di Kota Tangerang Selatan merupakan kelompok minoritas yang  sering mengalami praktek diskriminasi. Praktek diskriminasi yang dialami komunitas ini  bersifat verbal melalui penyebutan ‘sesat’ dan ‘diluar Islam’. Serta non-verbal yang berujung pada pelarangan pembangunan tempat ibadah, dan penolakan keberadaan Ahmadiyah. Perilaku diskriminasi ini timbul dari perilaku sosial yang tercipta oleh aktor dan budaya yang ada. Sehingga muncul rumusan masalah bagaimana relasi agen dan struktur masyarakat dalam perilaku diskriminasi terhadap komunitas JAI di Kota Tangerang Selatan. Analisis dalam penelitian ini dibedah menggunakan teori Strukturasi Anthony Giddens yang menjelaskan konsep hubungan dualitas struktur. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan terdapatnya pola praktik sosial yang diciptakan oleh kelompok anti-Ahamdiyah serta pengusaanya dalam gugus struktur yakni dominasi, signifikasi, dan legitimasi. Praktik sosial ini menyebabkan terbentuknya rutinitas yang tidak mampu di de-rutinitaskan oleh kelompok Ahmadiyah, sehingga mereka berada dalam lingkaran yang membuatnya terdiskriminasi. The Indonesian Ahmadiyya Community (JAI) located in the city of South Tangerang is a minority group that often experiences discrimination. The practice of discrimination experienced by this community from being verbal through the mention of "pervert" and "outside Islam". And non-verbal actions which led to the prohibition on the construction of places of worship, and the rejection of the existence of Ahmadiyya. This behavior of discrimination arises from social behavior created by actors and the culture that exists. So that the problem appears formulation, How the relationship of agents and community structure in the behavior of discrimination against the JAI community in South Tangerang City. The analysis in this study was dissected using Structuration Theory Anthony Giddens which explained the concept of structural duality relations. This type of research is qualitative with phenomenological methods. The results of this study showed that there is a pattern of social practice created by the anti-Ahamdiyah group as well as its exhortion in structural groups namely domination, signification, and legitimacy. This social practice has led to the formation of routines that the Ahmadiyya group cannot de-routine, so they are in a circle that makes them discriminated against.

Allusions to other texts abound in John McGahern's fiction. His works repeatedly, though diffidently, refer to literary tradition. Yet the nature of such allusiveness is still unclear. This article focuses on how allusion in The Pornographer (1979) is depicted as an intellectual and social practice, embodying particular attitudes towards the function of texts and the knowledge they represent. Moreover, the critique of the practice of allusion that the novel undertakes is shown to have broader significance in terms of McGahern's whole oeuvre and its evolving attempts to salvage something of present value from the literature of the past.

Hailed by corporate, philanthropic, and governmental organizations as a metaphor for democratic interaction and business dynamics, contemporary jazz culture has a story to tell about the relationship between political economy and social practice in the era of neoliberal capitalism. The Jazz Bubble approaches the emergence of the neoclassical jazz aesthetic since the 1980s as a powerful, if unexpected, point of departure for a wide-ranging investigation of important social trends during this period. The emergence of financialization as a key dimension of the global economy shapes a variety of aspects of contemporary jazz culture, and jazz culture comments upon this dimension in turn. During the stateside return of Dexter Gordon in the mid-1970s, the cultural turmoil of the New York fiscal crisis served as a crucial backdrop to understanding the resonance of Gordon’s appearances in the city. The financial markets directly inform the structural upheaval that major label jazz subsidiaries must navigate in the music industry of the early twenty-first century, and they inform the disruptive impact of urban redevelopment in communities that have relied upon jazz as a site of economic vibrancy. In examining these issues, The Jazz Bubble seeks to intensify conversations surrounding music, culture, and political economy.

American Evangelicalism

In this article I contribute to the sociology and anthropology of American Evangelicalism by examining the discourse of group Bible study. Every week millions of Christians in the U.S. meet for group study, and in doing so, actively negotiate the categories of meaning central to their faith. Yet, this crucial practice has received scant attention from scholars. This study is grounded in theories of social practice and symbolic interaction, where cultural life is understood through its vital institutions, and institutions are treated as inter-subjective accomplishments. I employ the concept of ‘interactive frames’ to define how Evangelicals understand the Bible study experience. Ultimately, I argue that the predominant interactive frame for Evangelicals is that of cultivating intimacy, which directly reflects the type of personalized, relational spirituality characteristic of their faith. This, in turn, has serious consequences for how Bible reading and interpretation are performed in groups. I use a case study approach, providing close ethnographic analyses of a mixed-gender group from a Restoration Movement congregation.
