Document Summary
Marx and the labour process: purposeful activity, that is work itself, the object on which work is performed, the instruments of that work. An individual"s/collective"s economic, social, and political location in society that is largely conditioned, but not determined by the individual"s/collective"s relationship to the means of production. Gender may include more than these two social categories. Gender is a basic principle of social organization almost always involving unequal economic and social power in which men dominate. Gender is socially constructed and diverse, and varies historically and cross- culturally joan acker. Racialization refers to those instances where social relations between people have been structured by the signification of human biological characteristics in such a way as to define and construct differentiated social collectivities. The characteristics vary historically, and, although they have usually been somatic features, other non-visible (alleged and real) biological features have also been signified.
