It fills a glaring gap in feminist theories, extensively focused on the exclusion of women, more than on the conditions of inclusion in positions of power. The field of elite theory has at last assumed gender as a relevant perspective. As Eva Etzioni-Halevy underlines in the Foreword, what makes this book unique is the challenging attempt to interlace elite and gender theories, and that this has been accomplished. Mino Vianello and Gwen Moore trace a convincing picture of the conditions faced by women who have broken through the ‘glass ceiling’. Since gender inequality is seen as socially structured and the social arrangements of women and men as shaped by institutional culture, it is, as they show, subject to change. In fact, they make changes in gender relations visible, identify cultural and social resources, and depict gendered styles of leadership. In this book we can find analyses of what is resistant to change, even in the countries offering more opportunities to people in general: processes and mechanisms sustaining women in access to power. But, we can also see the unfolding of a key event in the industrialized world: the decline of the male monopoly in public life. This book was awarded the Descartes Prize of the European Commission in 2004 for the notable result of the cooperative effort of teams of researchers from no fewer than 27 countries. In Chapter 1, ‘Description of the Sample and Research Design’, Silvia Sansonetti gives us information about the questionnaire that was distributed in order to gather information from a number of women and men in power in both political and economic spheres in all the countries included in the study.

Il campo è un meta-concetto e, insieme, uno strumento metodologico per individuare le relazioni tra agenti, che, condizionati da habitus e capitale disponibile, appaiono "distinti" per le posizioni sociali occupate che influenzano azioni e culture. Dialogando con Bourdieu, il luogo/campo emerge come uno spazio sociale dalle frontiere mobili, un "processo spaziale", dove la dinamica endogena è mossa anche da nuovi "entranti" che provengono dal "fuori luogo".

The authors think that this could be the result of their construction. Moreover they believe that social stratification changes are visible when looking to the criteria that people use to order occupations and evaluate their desirability. Key words: Occupational categories, Social desirability, Social change, Social representations, Reputational scales, Occupational stratification

Young people have incorporated the dimension of crisis – as incertitude and generalized risk – and they seem to perform reflexive consumption strategies closely linked, in some cases, to the sustainability issue, which emerges as a drive of the current consumption practices. However, consumption strategies differ for the individual endowment of social resources as well as biographical trajectories. This paper deals with this issue and the results of a qualitative research are reported.

Faut-il se féliciter de la fragilisation d’une institution salariale archaïque ? Regretter un âge d’or révolu ? Relativiser ce déclin? Ou encore questionner plus largement le fait salarial, au-delà de sa forme juridique ?
