Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Arlie Russell Hochschild was born in Boston on January 15, 1940, and grew up in a family shaped by diplomacy, movement, and close attention to social nuance. Her father, a lawyer who moved into State Department work during and after World War II, took the family through Washington-area suburbs and abroad; her mother, a homemaker and volunteer, left a different kind of imprint, showing her daughter how much social life depends on managing feeling, reading people, and noticing what goes unsaid. A posting in Tel Aviv when Hochschild was 12, followed by adolescence in New Zealand, sharpened her sense of being an outsider and made questions of belonging, culture, and status feel concrete. She studied international relations at Swarthmore College, then earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, where the civil-rights era, the women’s movement, and the campus politics of the 1960s became part of her formation as a scholar and writer.
