Most sociological studies either ignore questions of place or explicitly reject the role of place in shaping class tastes. W...
During the 2014 Gaza war Facebook became a central arena for moral/political boundary work for Israeli users, resulting in unusually high rates of politically motivated tie dissolution. Cultural criteria were thus applied to restructure and symbolically cleanse social networks. We analyze Facebook’s visibility-structures, interview data and public...
The growing interest in horizontal stratification has led researchers to recognize qualitative differentiation in the choice of academic fields of study (FOS), mainly along the lines of professional and non-professional fields.
