Rescuing Autonomy from Kant
In Rescuing Autonomy from Kant, James Furner argues that Marxism's relation to Kant's ethics is not one of irrelevance, complementarity or incompatibility, but critique: the value of autonomy can be grounded by appeal to an antinomy in capitalism's basic structure.

Rerunning and ‘Re-Watching’ Socialist TV Drama Serials: Post-Socialist Czech Television Audiences between Commodification and Reclaiming the Past
According to quantitative audience measurement ('family diaries', as they were known in those days) primetime serials in 1970s and 1980s attracted the majority of television viewers. [...]an inquiry into the revivalist viewing which started in the mid-1990s (and remains part of Czech television culture) is relevant. [...]ideology is defined here as all meanings and respective narrative elements legitimating the lead role taken by the communist party in Czechoslovak society. According to the informants' evaluations, TV drama serials repeated in 1991 were close to the 'almost no ideology' category.

Chinese and Korean mothers in England: motherhood, gender and employment
This article explores the lived experiences of first-generation Chinese and South Korean mothers living in England. The data are analysed using six intersecting categories: motherhood and gender ideology; educational level; reasons for migration; the length of stay in England; family economic circumstances; and the locality of settlement. The findings suggest that, while there appear to be stark differences in Chinese and South Korean mothers’ understanding of motherhood and employment, their accounts concurrently indicate commonalities in terms of persistent gender inequality at home, founded on patriarchal values. Out of the six interrelated categories, their motherhood and gender ideology obtained in their country of origin seems to have had a dominant influence in shaping these women’s experiences, along with their settlement into their respective ethnic communities.

A Fading Old Left Vision: Gospel-Inspired Socialism in Vonnegut's \Rosewater\.(Kurt Vonnegut, 'God Bless You , Mr. Rosewater')
Vonnegut concludes in Rosewater-and continued to maintain until his death in April of 2007-that by observing socialist principles and, more specifically, acting upon the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount and of socialist reformers like Eugene Debs and Powers Hapgood, American society has its best chance at what one could term a secular salvation. Vonnegut's conception of this type of socialism derives largely from early Christian teachings of loving one's fellow man found in the New Testament (especially from the Sermon on the Mount, which is the generally accepted phrase to identify Matthew 5:3-7:27 in the Bible; it is widely taken to be \"the quintessence of the teaching of Jesus\" [Betz, 3]) and from the awareness of Indiana socialists Powers Hapgood and Eugene V. Debs he had from an early age.
