“…As 160 entrevistas com pretos e pardos que analisamos, por sua vez, fazem parte de um projeto comparativo mais amplo, coordenado pela professora Michèle Lamont (Universidade de harvard), que analisa as experiências de discriminação e as estratégias de desestigmatização de negros no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos (Lamont, 2011).…”

Introdução: o quebra-cabeça racial brasileiroAs relações raciais no Brasil são caracterizadas por um aparente paradoxo. Por um lado, as enormes e persistentes discrepâncias socioeconômicas entre os diferentes grupos raciais indicam que raça é um atributo central para se compreender a produção de desigualdades sociais do país. Por outro, as relações de sociabilidade fluidas, com grande quantidade de casamentos inter-raciais e pouca segregação residencial entre brancos e negros, sinalizam que no Brasil a mistura racial permite perpassar as questões de cor. Considerando esse quebra-cabeça, parece-nos crucial perguntar: como estudar relações raciais em um país onde as desigualdades socioeconômicas entre as raças são tão marcantes, mas não se refletem em diferenças culturais ou simbó-licas? Ou, utilizando a terminologia das fronteiras proposta por Barth (1969), como analisar um país com fronteiras socioeconômicas rígidas e fronteiras

“…shared moral character over economic success - -Lamont 2000). It also involves negotiating in daily interactions the negative meanings associated with one group (Lamont & Mizrachi 2012). This grounds the social significance of gaining a better understanding of the processes that sustain heterarchies.…”

This review discusses North American and European research from the sociology of valuation and evaluation (SVE), a research topic that has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The goal is to bring various bodies of work into conversation with one another in order to stimulate more cumulative theory building. This is accomplished by focusing on (a) subprocesses such as categorization and legitimation, (b) the conditions that sustain heterarchies, and (c) valuation and evaluative practices. The article reviews these literatures and provides directions for a future research agenda.

“…Two articles of this volume contribute to these insights by showing first, how everyday responses to stigmatization trigger transformation of group boundaries and second, how cultural and structural contexts enable and constrain individual and group responses to stigmatization and discrimination. Hence, we argue that responses to stigmatization are closely anchored in the national and local contexts and the cultural repertoires that are variously available across contexts (see for this argument also Lamont and Mizrachi 2012). Understanding responses to stigmatization requires considering the contextually dependent formation of collective identities: how 'us' and 'them' are mutually and relationally defined, and how individuals and groups engage in boundary work in responding to stigmatization.…”

Based on the articles brought together for this special issue, this article proposes a transversal analysis and theoretical elaboration of the question of the uses of religious elements for meaning making and boundary work. In order to do so, we will first propose a sociocultural psychological perspective to examine meaning making dynamics. Second, we will apply a boundary work perspective, as recently developed in the social sciences, on the organization of religious differences. The first considers religious elements as resources that can be used by people to orient themselves in time and the social space, to interpret and guide action, and to create new forms of life. The second approach proposes an analysis of uses of religious stuff in order to understand how boundaries between groups are created, transgressed or dissolved as well as to explore the link between religion and power. Our argument is that the articulation of these two approaches can itself offer a rich theoretical frame to apprehend religions in contemporary society.
