“…1 Outside of Spain, numerous authors have contributed to the questioning of the sociological legacy (e.g. Acker, 1989;Alzón, 1982Alzón, [1978; Calasanti and Zajicek, 1993;Cerroni, 1976Cerroni, [1975; Hamilton, 1987;Haraway, 1991;Lehmann, 1993;Lindsey, 1990;March, 1982;Mathieu, 1991;Pateman, 1989;Smith, 1987Smith, , 1990Sydie, 1994;Taylor, 1980;Trat, 1998;Wallace, 1989;Weinbaum, 1984;Yeatman, 1990). They claim that one must intervene in this legacy (Lehmann, 1993) and they openly criticize sociologists for revealing strong doses of androcentrism.…”

This article offers a revision of the sociological legacy of the first Frankfurt School in what is referred to as its vision of the relationship between men and women. In the case of the first Frankfurt School, women did form part of their models of analysis, but this is a problematic visualization, where what we call the strategy of mutilated nature dominates. In these examples women appear as metaphors of a negated and reconstructed nature that oppose culture. They represent the best example of the general decadence of modern society, a constitutive yet reduced element of culture and men. They were to be seen not as subjects but rather as bodies and objects in a world of subjugated masculine subjects. KEYWORDS first Frankfurt School, modern society, vision of the relationships between men and womenWomen's studies has its origin in the public apparition of feminism (Ballarín et al., 1995: 14), in the discovery of the women's movement that women in general have lived excluded from the intellectual, cultural and political world (Smith, 1987: 1). As Susan Yeandle points out, women's studies has in part the task of calling attention to the way in which many political theories and manifestations have formulated as a norm the activities and experience of males, making women's lives invisible in the process (Yeandle, 1998: 19).In the area of sociology, it is maintained that though sociologists say that they refer to all human beings, sociological discourse has been and continues to be predominantly masculine (Astelarra, 1990;Durán, 1982 Durán, , 1993 Elejabeitia, 1991;Izquierdo, 1988Izquierdo, , 1994. As Carmen Elejabeitia has pointed out, sociological discourse responds to the need for a classifying ordering that obtains masculine knowledge in its progress from the unknown (Elejabeitia, 1991: 217-26). Expressing this in a somewhat more subtle way, M. Angeles Durán states that more than research into power or the power of the research, it is the power over Journal of Classical Sociology

An intersectional theoretical framework for exploring racialized older immigrant women’s subjectivities

Summary Today, racialized older women’s international migration is increasingly accelerated, cyclical and transnational, illustrating the transcendence of lives across time and space. At the same time, immigration regimes regulate and restrict these seemingly unfettered mobilities using neoliberal, gendered and ageist policies that favor (younger) skilled immigration. This article addresses the question of how social work can use intersectionality perspectives to theorize racialized older immigrant women’s lives which are stretched across multiple time(s) and space(s) yet confined within highly regulated multi-tiered immigration systems. Findings This article outlines a theoretical framework grounded specifically within intersectional feminist, post-structural, and transnational aging perspectives. The framework embraces the temporality, spatiality, and transnationality of gendered, aging and migrant lives and reconsiders their agency as a performed subjectivity bound by multiple forces of institutionalized regimes. Applications This theoretical framework moves social work inquiry to a richer understanding of the migratory realities of diverse aging lives that are simultaneously in-motion and regulated within structural constraints.

Onwards and upwards to the kingdom of beauty and love. Herbert Marcuse’s trajectory to socialism

Socialists today can learn from Marcuse. Starting from this premise this paper discusses and elaborates on Herbert Marcuse?s trajectory to socialism. Marcuse successfully eluded the trap of ?economism?, and turned to subjectivity in search of a socialist solution. The transition to socialism is possible through the creation of new anthropology expressed through the concept of ?new sensibility?. The prototype of a new socialist human is an anti-superman. Peace and beauty are important characteristics of Marcuse?s socialism. ?Libertarian socialism?, ?feminist socialism?, ?integral socialism?, ?socialist humanism?, ?socialism as the work of art?, and ?utopian socialism? are all terms that testify to Marcuse?s open and many-faceted understanding of socialism in all of its complexity of meanings. Some of those meanings can inform debates on future prospects of socialism.
