The syncretic heritage of silk-weaving in Banaras (India) demonstrates the intersection of traditional knowledge and social structure to sustain the popularity of the sarees of Banaras. By integrating the findings and perspectives from various studies, this paper synthesizes the disparate and interdisciplinary evidence to uncover an area in which more research is needed. To explore if indigenous knowledge can deconstruct historical caste-occupation linkage, especially, with the enforcement of geographical indication (GI), it analyses continuity and change of social identities among Banaras silk-weavers and assesses the need to revisit GI architecture in India as an alternative to foster sustainable environment, market, and livelihoods for communities associated with such traditions. It questions whether democratization of artisanal knowledge protected under GI provides a viable and reasonably remunerative source of livelihood for those willing to acquire it, irrespective of their position within a deeply stratified society.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 2","pages":"130-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was designed in response to the increasing need to comprehend the unique being of animals within social boundaries. Besides, considering the ongoing discussions initiated in the varied recent studies as well as the contentious debates held within several up-to-date media sources, this study, designed as a single-site case study, delved into the draft law that has been proposed by the Turkish government on euthanasia of stray animals. The data were obtained from six media platforms signifying three different editorial styles, namely pro-government, anti-government, and alternative channels. Three-dimensional critical discourse analysis model and framing theory were simultaneously utilized to analyze the data. The findings revealed characteristic differences among six different media portals. The pro-government channels were relatively cautious in reporting the bill whereas the anti-government channels' agenda was generous in informing the public highly sensitively. Conversely, the alternative media platforms were found to be more neutral in demonstrating their responses to the draft law. Conclusively, case-specific discoveries, perspectives, reflections, and insights were highlighted, and it was underscored that animals’ fundamental societal role requires more thorough acknowledgment and attention.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 2","pages":"101-110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article conducts a comparative historical sociology of caste in South Asia, and race in the US, to demonstrate structural differences between these two modes of social stratification. Although caste groups in South Asia had greater possibilities of social mobility and intermarriages, interracial sex and marriage were legally prevented between Whites and non-Whites in the United States. This was because most castes in South Asia were thought to have common origins in the Brahmin caste, whereas most races were thought to have emerged from different species. Furthermore, caste hierarchies often depended on the discretion and power of locally dominant castes, whereas racial hierarchies were legally established through pseudo-scientific theories and enforced in the United States through state authorities. These divergences in their respective trajectories of development and endurance present to us, a more comprehensive understanding of how caste and race were different in their respective configurations. This is also why sweeping generalizations on such forms of social stratification were discouraged by social scientists such as Cox and Ambedkar.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":101168,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Lens","volume":"38 1","pages":"55-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
