Western capitalism in transition: global processes, local challenges/ edited by Alberta Andreotti, David Benassi and Yuri Kazepov.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Since its emergence at the end of the seventeenth century, industrial capitalism as a specific form of social organisation has set recurrent challenges to its own persistence, and until today, it has proved to be successful to develop new ways of accumulation based on its capacity of adaptation. Is this process of transition now accelerating or reaching an end point? This book is a critical exploration of capitalism in transition, bringing together cutting edge, world renowned scholars who reflect from different disciplinary points of view. This collection engages with the primarily Western themes of welfare capitalism and social fragmentation. Structured over three parts, the book analyses; the transformations of welfare societies and capitalism with a focus on South European welfare states and their (in)capacity to tackle poverty; the transformation of work and migration with a special attention to informality and the question of social rights; and the transformation of cities.Western capitalism in transition : global processes, local challenges / Alberta Andreotti, David Benassi and Yuri Kazepov -- A child of its times : the 'new urban sociology' in context and its legacy / Michael Harloe -- Abstract from the concrete : capitalism spiralling out of control / David Harvey -- Rethinking social reproduction in an era of the dominance of finance capital / Gavin Smith -- On the social (dis-)embedding of the economy in a local context : where anthropology and sociology share metaphors as analytical tools / Simone Ghezzi -- The underclass and international comparison, variety and universalism / Jean-Claude Barbier -- Welfare migration and civic stratification : Britain's emergent rights regime / Lydia Morris -- The Mediterranean welfare states between recalibration and change in the cultural paradigm / Nicola Negri and Chiara Saraceno -- Deconstructing labour demand : implications for low-wage employment / Saskia Sassen -- International migrations and the Mediterranean / Enrico Pugliese -- Cities under economic austerity : the return of citizenship claims / Marisol García -- The sense of touch / Richard Sennett -- Urban disorder and the transformation of global governance / Sophie Body-Gendrot -- Urban political economy beyond convergence : robust but differentiated unequal European cities / Patrick Le Galès -- The spatial dimension of poverty / Norman Fainstein and Susan S.

David Zimmer Christmas letter
No full textThis Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year.
David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society
