- W778834779 abstract "(1) The Need for A Special Issue and its ConfigurationDespite the much-vaunted supposed fascination of sociologists with class, and perhaps their also supposedly-renowned focus on surveys (particularly relevant to class analyses) the last book on social class in post-Second World War New Zealand was published 30 years ago in 1983 (Pearson and Thorns). Of course, a steady trickle of theses, articles, chapters etc. has kept the topic alive (Crothers, 2008a, 2008b). This lacuna is of major significance since during the interim New Zealand has experienced the obvious upheavals associated with Rogernomics and the sharply shifting social patterns reverberating from that, but also huge shifts in employment and other aspects of inequality which have changed the contours of social class in New Zealand.Recently, however, there seems to be an emerging tide of interest and concern about inequality in New Zealand. There are several immediately precipitating factors (mid-2013) which propel this special issue:- The launch of the Inequalities book edited by Max Rashbrooke (2013) and the associated speaking tour by Robert Wade (see his article below in this special issue) and VUW one-day seminar (see Michael Forster's presentation for the Wellington seminar which was based on recent work published already at OECD over the last two years, namely in the frame of our report Divided we Stand1;- Ongoing concerns with child poverty and more generally various recent government benefit 'reforms': see discussion of former by Crothers (2012);- Lurking, unpublished (or insufficiently cited) analyses on class (including several being published in this special issue);- Advent of the latest 2013 Brian Perry/Ministry of Social Development update;- Recent issuing of the 2012 wave of the Statistics NZ General Social Survey (GSS) and other relevant data-sets;- An Antipodean echo of the 'UK Big Class Debate' (Savage et al. 2013) in the form of Du Fresnes's 2013 Listener article;- Screening in August of Bryan Bruce's recent television documentary Mind the Gap on Inequality2;- US class analyst Erik O Wright's collegial visit to New Zealand in July3;- Continuing concern with the causes and social impacts of the immediate conjuncture with New Zealand (along with much of the rest of the world) falteringly emerging from the fairly long drawn out 'Global Financial Crisis' which commentators have seen as the largest period of difficulty in the world economy for many decades (eg. OECD, 2011);- Ongoing interest in depiction of the changed configuration of capitalism over the last few decades under the ideological driver of 'neo-liberalism' and variously involving massive technological developments, globalisation and the very considerable rise of inequalities.Sociologists have been but little involved in these various most recent issues - except where, for example, ethnicity (and maybe gender and gay/queer studies) is seen to have a class dimension: Tracey McIntosh and Evan Poata-Smith have chapters in Rashbrooke, 2013. Moreover, the various exercises have varied in the extent to which they have drawn down on appropriate evidence or engaged with relevant theory. In particular, sociologists are concerned to frame inequality within a wider understanding of social class, and the layerings of meanings involved with this. There has been a rise in more abstract theorising using overseas theorists but with little attempt to finesse how local conditions are directly comparable to these models. Moreover, a wider array of important sources of analysis on New Zealand inequality and social class seem to have been overlooked in the intellectual material in recent circulation, and these need to be drawn on (see also Crothers, 2008a; 2008b which plot the contours of New Zealand sociology). In too much of the writing (see Easton's critique in his Listener review (2013) of Rashbrooke and his article in this issue) there is a leap from immediate experiences with some backing data to policy prescriptions, without filtering the thinking through a drive to develop explanations (including links to further studies) about why things are shaping up the way they are. …" @default.
