Inhalt: In this study, the issue of using Instagram social network by different groups of Iranian women and their interests and desires in publication of photos is investigated. The purpose of the study is to identify the common aspects and differences in women's lives reflected in their self-expression efforts based on their social characteristics. Therefore, the women were classified into eight groups based on the elements affecting the way they show their daily lives, such as education level, occupation and marital status. Then, qualitative method, including virtual ethnographic techniques, content analysis and online interviews, was used. Photos posted on Instagram by 32 users were studied and analyzed, and these users were interviewed. Questions were asked about their tendency towards posting photos of their daily lives on Instagram via direct messages. The conceptual framework of the study included Bourdieu’s theory of 'distinction' and Baudrillard’s concept of 'system of objects'. Results showed that women in each group select specific approaches to the publication of photos based on their social conditions. In the present article, these differences are discussed in detail. The significance of this research lies in the possibility of understanding different aspects of women’s everyday life and their individual identity through self-reports in the new media as opposed to the traditional media which only presents a standardized type of identification. Since studying women's efforts in presenting themselves on social media has been neglected in studies conducted on social networks in Iran, this study leads to a better understanding of Iranian women's diverse identities.

Inhalt: This article reports on an exploratory, qualitative, multiple-methods study that included individual interviews and a focus group with child protection services (CPS) workers in a large city in Alberta, Canada. The findings illuminate current CPS worker practices in situations of domestic violence where inclusion and exclusion decisions are made for service provision, and the ways in which documents reflect these day-to-day practices; how service user descriptions are constructed and reconstructed, the social problem of domestic violence conceptualized, and the ways in which professional development training encourages critical thinking about existing practices to create new solutions for families experiencing domestic violence. Thematic analysis reveals three themes about CPS workers' experience: 1) current practices reflect invisibility of men and accountability of women; 2) personal and professional shift in perspectives on who to work with, gender expectations, and how CPS are delivered; and 3) reflexive practice into potential intervention strategies and professional development training. The findings suggest specific recommendations for practice including the need to engage men in child welfare practice, shift perspective about service delivery with families experiencing domestic violence, and account for gender norms and practices in service delivery.

Lean Work and Gender Inequalities: Manufacturing Consent at a Multinational Car Plant in Provincial Russia

Inhalt: How do local labour market structures, in tandem with workforce dispositions and attitudes, influence the way multinational companies localise their standardised work and production systems? This article investigates the conflict-ridden factory regime of a lean automotive plant in provincial Russia at which the management was able to secure a relatively high level of consent among its female workers but not among male workers. In order to explain this gendered pattern of worker consent, the plant-internal gender division of labour and two societal factors proved crucial: the gendered segmentation of the local labour market and the workers' cultural dispositions. At the same time, the analysis points to the transformative effect that the company’s work and production system had on the local labour regime. The case study relies on a combination of quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews. It emphasises the need to reconnect the analysis of branch-plant factory regimes to a nuanced understanding of their embeddedness within local labour markets - also in the case of highly standardised work and production systems.

The migration of qualified Lebanese women to France

Inhalt: Lebanon is defined as a country of emigration and immigration. Whereas previously, emigration was considered a male migration. Gradually, in recent years emigration has evolved and is becoming feminine also. Independent female migration is a growing phenomenon in the Lebanese society although men still play an important role in the migration project.In the past, women were emigrating most often in the context of family reunification, accompanying their husbands to join a member of their families. The majority of migrant women today are leaving the country for so many reasons (further education, work, etc.) and not only to join their husbands. This article examines highly skilled female migration from Lebanon. In France, the migration of skilled workers from Lebanon has experienced very rapid growth in the last decade. However, female migration does not seem to have been the subject of a sociological reading. The study includes qualitative analysis of twenty five cases studied of Lebanese skilled migrant women in France, especially a university degree or equivalent (nurses, architects, teachers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, researchers ...) who were not married or go join their family when they have emigrated, and they have a good command of French language, and who were not dual nationality holders. This article aims to fill some gaps in this area, examining the reasons for change: migration path, the link with the country of origin, the impact of female migration on their personal, social, cultural and family, their return project, exchanges on the remittances levels, career transition path and entrepreneurship, adaptations, their social networks, their identity reconstruction, etc. Besides, there are also non-measurable aspects noted as the autonomy of women to discuss.

Inhalt: Der Aufsatz stellt die Frage, welchen Beitrag der Empowerment- Begriff für die Praxis der Erwachsenenbildung/ Weiterbildung leistet. Dabei wird in erster Linie auf den Empowerment-Begriff eingegangen, der als Aufgabe der Erwachsenenbildung zum Erreichen beruflicher Chancengleichheit von Mann und Frau verstanden werden kann. Darüber hinaus wird der Empowerment-Begriff, der in unterschiedlichen sozialen Bewegungen verwendet wurde, für die Genderdiskussion ausgelegt. Angeregt werden soll eine verstärkte Genderforschung in der Erwachsenenbildung, welche positive Auswirkungen auf die pädagogische Praxis hätte.

Männlichkeit in der Krise? Zur Bedeutung von männlicher Geschlechtsidentität und Weiblichkeitsabwehr in sich transformierenden Arbeitsverhältnissen

Inhalt: Die gegenwärtige Transformation der Arbeitsverhältnisse führt zu einer zunehmenden Verschärfung sozialer Konflikte. Dies hat sowohl Auswirkungen auf das Verhältnis von Arbeit und Subjektivität als auch auf die Geschlechterverhältnisse sowie auf die soziale Konstruktion von Männlichkeit. In diesem Aufsatz wird es darum gehen, diese Transformationsprozesse als auch deren Bedeutung für die Konstitution von Männlichkeit aus psychoanalytisch-sozialpsychologischer Perspektive in den Blick zu nehmen. Dabei wird es darum gehen, die weitverbreitete Annahme, dass diese Prozesse eine Beschädigung der männlichen Geschlechtsidentität zur Folge haben, einer kritischen Reflexion zu unterziehen. Demgegenüber soll die These dargelegt werden, dass die gegenwärtige ›Krise der Arbeitsgesellschaft‹ auf der Grundlage traditioneller männlicher Identitätskonstruktionen verarbeitet wird und damit androzentristische und misogyne Männlichkeitsentwürfe reproduzieren und stabilisieren.
Inhalt: The current transformation of labor relations leads to an increasing intensification of social conflict. This has an effect on both the relationship between work and subjectivity as well as on gender relations and the social construction of masculinity. In this paper it will be important to increase the transformation processes as well as its importance for the constitution of masculinity from psychoanalytic-social psychological perspective into view. It will be a question the popular assumption that these processes have led to damage to the male gender identity to the sequence to be subjected to critical reflection. In contrast to the thesis will be argued that the current ›crisis of work society‹ is processed on the basis of traditional male identity constructions and for his reason stabilizes and reproduces androcentric and misogynist masculinity concepts.

Risky undertakings: the employment decision-making of women lawyers and accountants

Details
Inhalt: In dieser Studie wird, ausgehend von Interviews mit Juristinnen und Wirtschaftsprüferinnen, das Konzept der Risikovermeidung genutzt, um zu verstehen, warum und in welcher Weise einige der Frauen sich für eine Tätigkeit in einem staatlichen Arbeitsumfeld entschieden haben: Zusammengefasst spielten für diese Entscheidungen insbesondere wahrgenommene Konflikte zwischen Berufs- und Privatleben, ökonomische Unsicherheiten und der geringere Schutz vor willkürlichen Arbeitgeberentscheidungen im nicht-öffentlichen Sektor als potenzielle Risikofaktoren eine herausgehobene Rolle. Die Studie leistet einen Beitrag zum bisherigen Forschungsstand, indem sie das Konzept der Risikovermeidung bei Arbeitsentscheidungen vor dem Hintergrund des Konfliktes zwischen Berufs- und Privatleben und mit Blick auf spezifische Klassenlagen entfaltet und nachvollziehbar macht, wie Frauen eine solche Präferenz im Falle privilegierter White-Collar-Berufe vollziehen.
Inhalt: This study uses the concept of risk avoidance to analyze responses from in-depth interviews with a group of women lawyers and accountants about their employment decision-making in order to provide a deeper understanding of why and how some women come to choose government employment over private-sector employment. An analysis of interviews reveals that some women perceived work-family conflict, economic precariousness, and fewer protections against employers' arbitrary decision-making as potential risks associated with private-sector employment. To reduce these risks, some women "chose" to work in government rather than in the private sector. This study contributes to existing literature by identifying risk avoidance in employment decision-making as a response to work-family conflict and social class constraints and by illustrating why and how this risk avoidance occurs among some women in elite white-collar professions.

Inhalt: "Der Alltag von Ein-Eltern-Familien, insbesondere jener von Alleinerzieherinnen mit jüngeren Kindern, ist von vielfältigen Herausforderungen geprägt. Diese werden auf Basis von Sekundäranalysen der Mikrozensus-Arbeitskräfteerhebung 2009, von EU-SILC 2008 und des Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) 2008/09 sowie qualitativer Interviews mit Alleinerzieherinnen mit betreuungspflichtigen Kindern unter 15 Jahren in ausgewählten Lebensbereichen skizziert. Alleinerzieherinnen weisen trotz hoher Erwerbsteilhabe ein stark überhöhtes Armuts- und Deprivationsrisiko auf und erleben den Mangel an Zeit und Geld sowie die allein verantwortliche Koordination von Kinderbetreuung und Beruf als prägende Herausforderungen. Die Bewältigungsstrategien, die sie im Umgang mit diesen Anforderungen entwickeln, werden beschrieben. Der Beitrag schließt mit Überlegungen zum sozialpolitischen Handlungsbedarf." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "The daily routine of single-parent families, especially those with single mothers as breadwinners for their young children, is plagued by multifaceted challenges. These challenges are outlined against the background of secondary analyses of the 2009 Labor Force Survey (microcensus), EU-SILC 2008 and GGS 2008/09. In addition, qualitative interviews have been carried out in selected areas of life with single mothers who have caretaking obligations and nurture children younger than 15 years of age concurrently. Despite a broad access to earnings, lone mothers show an excessive risk of poverty and deprivation. They are subjected to lack of time and resources, facing the distinctive challenge of being responsible for coordinating childcare and other professional issues. The coping strategies developed in addressing these requirements have been assessed. Finally, the present contribution considers the need for action on the part of welfare policies."
