Credibility, Agency, And The Interaction Order, Philip Manning

Sociology & Criminology Faculty Publications

There are two ways of reading Goffman-as a theorist of trust and ritual accommodation, that is, as a theorist of the interaction order, or as a theorist of deception. I suggest a way of making these two readings compatible, by arguing that Goffman was interested in what I call the "production of credibility." Credibility is the quality of being believable, and this quality is integral to both trust and deception. Viewed in this way Goffman explored the ways in which people make their actions convincing to other people. Although Goffman's analysis of the interaction order did not need a theory …

Visible Landscapes/Invisible People: Negotiating The Power Of Representation In A Mining Community, Robert Mccarl

Robert S. McCarl

On May 26 1996, two demolitions experts from Morrison-Knudsen set charges under the gigantic stacks of the former Bunker Hill smelter in Kellogg, Idaho. A contest was held to determine who would push the button and send the stacks plummeting to the ground. Lining the freeway, front porches, and rooftops of the denuded hillsides were thousands of people who came to watch the spectacle. Among them were two important factions in the community: One faction comprised those who were there to cheer the destruction of the corporate and industrial symbol that to many of the mining and union families of …

Globalization And Raw Materials-Based Development: The Case Of The Aluminum Industry, Paul Ciccantell

Paul Ciccantell

Current popular and scholarly analyses of the process of globalization often assume that this is a new phenomenon and that it operates in the same manner across all sectors of the economy. This paper argues that precisely the opposite is true: globalization is a longstanding process that exhibits distinct characteristics in different industries and different time periods. The analytic strategy to examine this process is historically grounded in the aluminum industry, one of the pioneers of the process of globalization. This paper analyzes the changing nature of the process of globalization in the aluminum industry, focusing attention on the articulation …

The Internet And Sex Industries, Donna M. Hughes Dr.

Donna M. Hughes

As a part of globalization, women and children are increasingly becoming commodities to be bought, sold, and consumed by organized crime rings, tourists, military personnel, and men seeking sexual entertainment or non-threatening marriage partners. Through financial and technological interdependence, the sex industry and the Internet industry have become partners in the global sexual exploitation of women and children.

Symptoms Of Dependence, Multiple Substance Use, And Labor Market Outcomes, Michael T. French, Michael L. Dennis, Jeremy W. Bray, Gary A. Zarkin

Michael T. French

The prevalence and costs of alcohol and drug disorders pose a serious social concern for policymakers. In this paper, we use data from the National Household Surveys on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) to estimate simple descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) models of the relationship between symptoms of dependence and labor market outcomes for alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and other illicit drugs. For men, we find that substance use with symptoms of dependence is associated with both lower employment rates and fewer hours of work. For women, we find that substance use with symptoms of dependence is associated with lower employment …

Regime Change And Elite Dynamics In Slovenia During The 1990s: What Can The Elite Reproduction Rates Tell Us?, Anton Kramberger, Vasja Vehovar

Anton Kramberger

The paper deals theoretically and empirically with elite-reproduction and elite-circulation concepts, to evaluate 'pros et cons of elite-continuity' discussion in Slovenia. The debate frequently re-appears in this economically unstable, socially fragile and politically unsettled transition country. A methodological framework is developed using the 'manpower planning approach' with an aim to meaningfully calculate and interpret elite (higher status) reproduction rates during the regime change 1988-1995.

Relationships And Universal Energy Laws, Carroy U. Ferguson

Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.

Relationships are our most intense forms of "mirrors" in the world. They show us in direct and indirect ways how we are using our personal energy systems in what I call our three life spaces. They show us how we consciously and unconsciously employ what some authors have called Universal Energy Laws (see attached descriptions of these laws) to co-create the quality of our relationships. Whether or not we "attract" and/or deal with relationships in conscious or subconscious ways, what I call the "mirror effect" is reflected in our three life spaces—personal life space, societal life space, and global life …

Opening The ‘Black Box:’ Small Groups And 21st Century Sociology, Elisabeth Brooke Harrington, Gary Alan Fine

Brooke Harrington

As sociologists look into the new century for sources of explanatory leverage, we argue that small group research contains untapped theoretical potential. Small groups have been largely ignored as a topic in their own right; instead they are treated as a “black box” in which other social phenomena are observed. We propose a reassessment. By opening the “black box,” sociologists will find that the core issues of the discipline come together in small groups. We draw together the literatures of five domains, across which the findings on small groups are fragmented. These findings show that small groups are the locus …
