"There is evidence of a possible politicisation of consumption in Brazil, similar to what has been occurring in other countries. In this process, consumption attitudes, behaviours, and practices are perceived and used as a way of participation and political action. Theories of post-materialism and hypotheses of mistrust in relation to political institutions have been used as an explanation for this phenomenon. However, little is known about the use of political consumption by young adults in Brazil. To explore this field, a quantitative study was conducted to analyze perceptions, interests, forms of engagement, personal and institutional trust, and political practices of young adults. In this article the study is presented as well as the results obtained. Results show that, in Brazil, involvement in political consumption is low, with little variation regarding social and economic class, age and school level." (publisher's description)

Die Autorin bezieht sich auf die theoretischen Ansätze von Pierre Bourdieu zu symbolischer Gewalt, Habitus, Kapital und Feld, um nach den Erfahrungen von Frauen mit Gleichstellungsprogrammen an Hochschulen zu fragen. Sie berichtet über eine empirische Untersuchung in vier stark nach ökonomischen Prinzipien ausgerichteten "enterprise universities" in Australien, wo sie in einer qualitativen Fallstudie jeweils eine Frau in einer Leitungsposition befragte. Sie analysierte dabei unter anderem, wie der unterschiedliche sozioökonomische und ethnische Hintergrund dieser Frauen (Mittelklasse versus Arbeiterschaft, europäische Abstammung versus Aborigines) sie in spezifischer Weise befähigte, ihre Position in der Institution Hochschule für ihre Ziele zu nutzen. Die Autorin stellt einige Auszüge aus den Interviews dar und zieht Schlussfolgerungen für gleichstellungspolitische Programme an den Hochschulen. (ICI).
