© 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. The tendency towards self-interest and an increasingly commercial orientation in accounting, together with a string of business and accounting scandals, brings the professional status of accounting into question. This chapter explores the how a renewed sense of professionalism within accounting may lead to greater recognition of the social within accounting. Positioned at the margins of accounting, social accounting includes emergent technologies of social accounting, focusing on silent, shadow, and counter accounting that expose values and priorities, challenge accepted understandings, generate new visibilities, and highlight the perspectives of neglected and marginalised segments of society. In so doing, social accounting may provide an important means for addressing the public interest agenda in accounting, and for strengthening the relationship between accounting and the public interest.

This opening essay introduces Mobilization's twenty-fifth anniversary issue on intersectionality and social movement research. We reference several works in the field that offer insights into the multiplicity of iterations, practices, and attempts to do intersectionality at the level of social movements, mass mobilization and movement research. We discuss how the new inward focus among many practitioners in the field often reveals the dilemma of intersectionality studies, which was reflected in the breadth of submissions to this special issue. We review how the studies in this issue specifically focus on the co-constructions of relationships and intersections of categories, and reflect on how the editors' crossdisciplinary collaboration shaped this important collection of research.

We have no shortage of texts to recover representations of sound. There is also an underutilized, renewable—yet, if not recorded, ephemeral—source that can help us recover the sounds of the vanishing past: oral history. The discovery of soundways and historically contextualized soundscapes is a compelling project on its own. By "soundways," I mean the "paths, trajectories, transformations, mediations, practices, and techniques—in short, the way—that people employ to interpret and express their attitudes or beliefs about sound." Global culture can be thought of as flowing through technoscapes, ethnoscapes, mediascapes, financescapes, and ideascapes, Arjun Appadurai has argued. The flow of global culture through these "scapes" would be represented in local soundscapes. Oral history interviews are one way to follow the flow to the level of the individual. And while sensory memories—especially echoic, haptic, and iconic—are being investigated in the context of medical and psychological research, they are not often considered in connection with social history.

The paper deals with a particular use of the criminal law in unequal societies against disadvantages groups attempting to limit their access to social rights. More specifically, I will defend here the occupation of public places as a consequence of the failure of the government to solve the problem of housing. I will argue on the one hand that we must distinguish between a social claim and a crime and avoid the use of criminal law in certain cases. On the other hand, I will criticize the particular use of the concept of equality use by the defenders of the "punishment solution". ; El trabajo cuestiona el uso particular del derecho penal en sociedades desiguales y en contra de grupos desaventajados con la intención de limitar su acceso a derechos sociales constitucionales. Más específicamente, defiendo la ocupación de espacios públicos como consecuencia de la falla de los gobiernos en solucionar el problema del acceso a la vivienda digna. Voy a argumentar, por un lado, que debemos distinguir entre un reclamo social y un delito para evitar el uso del derecho penal en determinados casos. Por otra parte, voy a criticar el uso particular del concepto de igualdad aplicado por los defensores de la "solución del castigo".

With atypical work gaining popularity, platform work seems to combine all the elements which, by deviating significantly from the standard employment relationship, challenge social security systems. After an overview of the features of the standard employment relationship and the different ways in which non-standard forms of work diverge from them, the article focuses on the nature of platform work. It then analyses how platform work is regulated in five European social security systems (i.e. Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium), and how this regulation may fare when analysed under the lens of the recent European Commission's proposal for a Council Recommendation on access to social protection for workers and the self-employed. The article concludes by highlighting the need for further adaptation of social security systems to the specific features of platform work, and by noting the risks of a regulatory approach towards this new form of work being dominated by the exclusion of low-paid work from the scope of labour-related social insurance schemes.

AbstractThis study examines the social networks and deviant behavior of 92 male and female adolescent offenders in a secure training school. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted individually with the youth and repeated following a four‐week interval. Record data were reviewed to assess behavioral adjustment. The Social Cognitive Map analytic technique was utilized to identify social clusters. Findings indicate that these extremely delinquent youth formed reasonably stable social networks within the institution. Social clusters were distinguished most strongly on the basis of gender, race and proximity. Individuals within clusters had similar levels of behavioral adjustment and perceptions of intimacy with peers. The processes of peer group formation are similar to those found among public school counterparts. Treatment implications are discussed.
