MICRO-ORIGINS OF SOCIAL CHANGE
HOW GROUPS CAN MOBILIZE/EMANCIPATE
EFFLER -- MICRO POTENTIAL FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
feminist resistance -- social change (claim more rights)
the article:
how women maintained their positions with much fewer freedom in terms of IRs and EE
(theoretically)
micro units of analysis to understand something on a bigger scale---»
microsociological explanation of a microsociological change
the balance between minimising EE losses and maximising EE
women at the time: their point was to prevent more loss of EE
IR chains
gaining or losing EE
either identifying of failing to identify with a group
EE + IRs can cumulate throughout history
people who find themselves in subordinated positions (where they can't say what they want) are more likely to have learnt to avoid rejection/humiliation
minimize losses of EE, not looking to maximize it
influenced by a generally lower level EE
the more inequality in a society --» the more prevalence of mental health issues
THE SELF AND EMOTIONAL ENERGY
Connections between the I + ME + IRs
ME:
part of the self that reflects/monitors itself (=society in us)
previous
IRs
porduce the
ME
learning how to be passive is the ME in a woman
conflicts between the I + ME
emerge «-----
Why is resistance not so frequent?
3 options
Resistance ---» it will lead to negative response from others
avoidance of IRs -- retreat from social life
Managing the emotional responses internally (moving the conflict inside)
Women are more dependent on men than vice versa
Resistance could lead to further loss of EE
The past IR chains suggested to avoid further losses of EE
FEELING RULES + DEVIANT EMOTIONS
Hochschild -- Flight attendants
feeling rules:
not showing what you really experience
often result of long-term subordinate positions
emotion management
: regulation of potential conflicts between experienced emotions + feeling rules
deviant emotions:
conflict between the I and ME
pl. sexist jokes -- let it go or speak up
women were taught to turn these inwards
bodily discipline too
IRs AND RESISITANCE
engage in own IR ritual without men
" a new ME"
celebrate deviant emotions (from shame --» to anger)
new
cognitive frames
new categories of undertsanding
new generalised other, new ideal world
