ABSTRACT
The central significance of emotions has been there in all her later work: in studies of the division of labor in the home, studies of workplaces, and essays on the commercialization of the family and the intimate sphere. The gender perspective is evident in The Managed Heart but becomes the main topic of Hochschild's next major work, The Second Shift. The family is stuck in a frozen revolution in several ways: part of the women's care efforts now consists of paid work, but the tasks resemble their unpaid work. While the home sometimes becomes a stress area and a conflict arena when spouses come home tired, the workplace can become a place that provides belonging, self-affirmation, friendship, and stimulation. Religion is a major theme in Arlie Hochschild's sociology, and it is not a theme at all in a book in which several of her students present research inspired by her perspectives.
