Addams, Jane [1860-1935]

Jane Addams was one of the vice presidents of the Chicago Liberty
Meeting that led to the formation of the Central Anti-
Imperialist League in Chicago. She later served as a
vice president of the national Anti-Imperialist League
(1904-1919). In 1889, Addams co-founded Hull House,
one of America’s first settlement houses. She was
later a co-founder and first president of the Women’s
International League for Peace and Freedom (1919-
1935). She is also remembered as the first American Woman to receive
the Nobel Peace Price.

genuine relationship which may exist between men who share large hopes
and like desires, even though they differ in nationality, language and creed.‖

Theodor Adorno and the Culture Industry
Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Popular Culture Association, Toronto
(March 30, 1984)
A review of Adorno‘s conception of the ‗culture industry‘ as it is found in three
writings: ‗On Popular Music‘ (1941), ‗Dialectic of Enlightenment‘ (1944), and
‗Culture Industry Reconsidered‘ (1963). In these writings, Adorno has
provided a theory of the nature of the culture product and its valuation. The
standardization and interchangeability of culture products under late
capitalism leads to the interchangeability of persons in the audience.
Stylization has its counterpart, the pseudo-individualization of the culture
product and members of the audience. Both stylization and pseudo-
individualization contribute to the possibilities of mass marketing. The
consequences for the audience in late capitalism are distraction on the one
hand, and on the other hand, a means of ensuring the audience‘s
‗adjustment‘ to its dependency. The significance of Adorno‘s thought on the
culture industry is becoming increasingly apparent in the present era.

Berger, Peter L. and Luckmann, Thomas
 [1963] Invitation to Sociology. A Humanistic Perspective

New York, Anchor Books, Doubley & Company, Inc.
An invitation to understand society in a disciplined way for people who are
naturally interested in the events that engage people‘s ultimate beliefs, their
moments of tragedy and grandeur and ecstasy, but who are also fascinated
by the commonplace, the everyday. Social reality has many layers of
meaning. The discovery of each new layer changes the perceptions of the
whole The fascination of sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes
us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all our lives.
 Chapter 1: Sociology as an individual pastime
In the first chapter [pp. 1-24] of his Invitation to Sociology Berger
presents his humanistic answers to the question ―why study
sociology?‖ In Why Study Sociology? his main arguments are -gender
modified- summarized.
 Chapter 6: Sociological Perspective: Society as Drama
 [1963] Outline of Invitation to Sociology
An excellent introduction to sociology. Although some material is
unavoidably dated, the sociological insights aren‘t dated in the least.
 [1966] Society as a Human Product
From: Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. [1966] The Social Construction
of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge. Garden City, New York:
Anchor Books, pp. 51-55, 59-61.
In these fragments the autors explain what it means that man produces
himself, i.e. the homo socius. They also argue that the causes of the
emergence, maintenance and transmission of a social order can only be
understood when you analyse the orgins, functions and processes of
institutionalization. The origin of institutionalization is explained by the
argument that all human activity is subject to habitualization. This processes
of baibualization precede any institutionalization. Institutionalization itself is
defined as a reciprocal typication of habitualized actions by types of actors.

 [1997] Epistemological Modesty: An Interview with Peter Berger
In: The Christian Century, October 29, 1997, pp. 972-8.
Berger explains why the modern challenges is how to live with uncertainty.
―The basic fault lines today are not between people with different beliefs but
between people who hold these beliefs with an element of uncertainty and
people who hold these beliefs with a pretense of certitude. There is a middle
ground between fanatism and relativism.‖ That‘s what is ment by
―epistemomogical modesty‖, you can belief certain things, but you are modest
about these claims.
 [1998] Protestantism and the Quest for Certainty
In: The Christian Century, August 26-September 2, 1998, pp. 782-796.
Berger explains a big mistake he made in his career as a sociologist. He once
believed that modernity necessarily leads to a decline in religion. But he also
explains one big insight: pluralism undermines the taken-for-granted of
beliefs and values. In the article the mistake and the insight are related.
 Kessel, David H.
Berger‘s Motifs of Sociological Consiousness
Kessel explains his fascination for a classic in sociology, Berger‘s Invitation to
Sociology. In a few word he stresses the importance of Berger‘s ideas about
how to think sociologically...especially critically. The four motifs or themes of
―sociological consiousness‖ are illustrated from Berger‘s book.

The Dahrendorf hypothesis and its implications for (the theory of) economic
policy-making [pdf]
According to Dahrendorf, a principal commitment to the market order and to
an open society protecting individual liberties is largely undisputed today, at
least in the western hemisphere. This, however, does not result in a
convergence of economic policies towards some common ideal model. This
hypothesis is difficult to reconcile with orthodox economic approaches to
economic policy-making. Schellenbach argues that if the scope of analysis is
extended to epistemological problems, then a decentralised experimentation
with policies can be reasonable. Given the fact that selection mechanisms are
imperfect and that diversity can be sustained, a dilemma may occur for
neoclassical economics: if individuals internalise preferences for inefficient
policy measures, a decision between the sovereignty of individual preferences
and efficiency may have to be made.

Michel Foucault: problématique pour une histoire de l‘homosexualité
In: Revue sexuologique / Sexological Review 2(1).
The history of homosexuality has primarily focused on two aspects: the
process of repression/liberation and the problematic of the historical
development of homosexuality. By emphasizing the oppression experienced
by the gay community and by studying homosexuality as part of a larger
history of sexuality, both approaches have neglected significant elements of
the specific history of homosexuality. Foucault‘s work on homosexuality
enables us to rethink the way this history has been presented by
demonstrating that repression has not been the mechanism through which
―perverse‖ sexuality has been controlled in western societies. Foucault also
suggests that the concept of friendship emerging in the West during the 17th
and 18th centuries may prove to be an auspicious avenue to explore when
seeking a fuller history of homosexuality. Lastly, Foucault opens new
perspectives on political practices. In contrast with the politics of liberation,
he suggests putting liberty at the center of one‘s sexuality (homosexuality),
an alternative that seeks to create new social relationships, a new culture.

Fromm explains why the only alternative to the danger of robotism is
humanistic communitarianism. ―Changes in ownership must be made to the
extent necessary to create a community of work, and to prevent the profit
motive from directing production into socially harmful directions. Income
must be equalized to the extent of giving everybody the material basis for a
dignified life and thus preventing economic differences from creating a
fundamentally different experience of life among various social classes. Man
must be reinstituted in his supreme place in society - never a means, never a
thing to be used by others or by himself.‖
[1962] Erich Fromm‘s Humanist Credo [German version]
In: Erich Fromm [1962] Beyond the Chains of Illusions New York: Simon and
Schuster, pp. 174-82.
Fromm explains what he believes in. ―I believe in freedom, in men‘s right to
be himself, to assert himself and to fight all those who try to prevent him
from being himself. But freedom is more thant the absense of violent
oppression. It is more than ‗freedom from‘. It is ‗freedom to‘ - the freedom to
become independent; the freedom to be much, rather than to have much, or
to use things and people.‖

Garfinkel, Harold [1917]

[1967] Some essential features of common
understandings (summary)
From: Harold Garfinkel [1967/84] Studies in
Ethnomethodology. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall,
pp. 38-44, 75.
Garfinkel demonstrates why common understandings
cannot possibly consist of a measured amount of
shared agreement among persons on certain topics. In
many matters we can understand each other in a
conversation although we don‘t mention the specific
matters. We can understand certain matters on the
basis of not only of what was actually said but what
was left unspoken. Garfinkel explains how this is
possible and how professional sociologists can rediscover common sense
knowledge and common sense activities.
[1967] Studies of the Routine Grounds of Everyday Activities (summary)
From: Harold Garfinkel [1967] Studies in Ethnomethodology. Polity Press, ch.
2.
When you examine the exchange that takes place in a conversation between
two people, you realize soon that there are many things that are understood
between these people than are actually mentioned (especially when these
people have a standing relationship). We can understand matters on the basis
of what was unspoken. This points to underlying properties of conversational
exchange and the rules which govern them in daily live. The rule governed
activities of everyday life constitute the moral order of society. To test his
hypotheses, Garfinkel sent forth a legion of students to conduct
conversational breaching experiments. Students were instructed to question
everything they were being told by asking what was meant. One of the
conclusions of these experiments was that background knowledge is
important and is understood as such when it is shared. However, the
possibility of common understanding does not consist in demonstrated
measures of shared knowledge of social structure, but consists instead and
entirely in the enforceable character of actions in compliance with the
exigencies of everyday life as a morality. Common sense knowledge of the
facts of social life for the members of the society is institutionalized
knowledge of the real world.

Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun.
Geertz‘s concept of culture is -in the good old tradition of Max Weber- is
essentially a semiotic one. Culture is a complex web of significance, and
therefor its analysis is no a matter of experimental science in search of law,
but an interpretive science in search of meaning. Geertz borrows the notion of
‗thick description‘ from Gilbert Ryle to grasp the meaning(s) of culture(s).

[1991] Clifford Geertz on ethnography and social construction
Interview by Gary A. Olson, in Journal of Advanced Composition. 11(2): 245-

Why is Geertz‘s work so eminently appealing to many of us? It might be
because his preoccupation with seeing science and scholarship as rethorical,
as socially constructed.
[1999] A Life of Learning
Charles Homer Haskins Lectur for 1999. American Council of Learned
Societies, Occasional Paper No. 45.
In the course of patching together his scholarly career Geertz has learned at
least one thing: it all depends on the timing. In his improvised life he
discovered that the study of cultures involves discovering who they think they
are, what they think they are doing, and to what end they think that they are
doing it. Therefore it is necessary to gain a working familiarity with the
frames of meaning whitin which they enacht their lives.

Does Internet Create Democracy?
A thesis on whether internet creates or contributes to democracy. She relates
the internet and democracy debate to American communications theory
(starting with Howard Rheingold‘s prediction that internet will facilitate an
explosion of direct participatory democracy), and also explores some
European theory, including Habermas. Thornton concludes that internet
provides opportunities for limited revitalisation of the public sphere. These
new opportunities are limited to privileged groups, but it is at least an
increase in the activities of the public sphere, however modest.

A re-reading of Halbwachs work that examines the study of social memory as
a contribution of note to social morphology, both from the point of view of
defining problems and that of proposed solutions. His sociology of memory is
a sociology of social experience. The author suggests that this sociology
constitutes a theory of socialization that reveals the means of social
appropriation of human experience through organizing and defining
relationships among collective memories.

Bibliography
[1983] The Ironic Dream of a Common Language for Women in the
Integrated Circuit
An early version of Haraway‘s influential essay A Cyborg Manifesto: Science,
Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century.
A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a creature of science fiction and a creature
of social reality. Haraway argues that we have all become cyborgs, mythic
hybrids of machine and organism. In recent Western science and politics, the
relation between organism and machine has been a border war. Haraway‘s
essay is an argument for pleasure in the confusion of boundaries and for
responsibility in their construction. A socialist-feminist must pay particular
attention to the redesign of cyborgs, i.e., to genetic engineering.

The Times of Our Lives - Investigations into Socio-chronology

A sociology of time and social rythms by Michael Kearl (Trinity University,
USA). A study of time and the various timetables and rhythms that shape our
behaviors and thoughts. The issues are: the different meanings we give to
each day of the week & months of the year; the ―quality time‖ that working
parents worry about sharing enough of with their children; the pressure we
feel to be ―on time‖ in the face of dreaded deadlines; the various social clocks
whose tickings seem to govern our lives, such as the ages at which we
believe we should be married, have children, or be ―peaking‖ in our careers;
the emergence of ―flexitime‖ and four-day weeks in the world of work; and
the types of time that religions impose to fortify the moralities of their
members, such as eternity in heavens or hells, purgatory time, or escaping
the cycle of death and rebirth.
Sociological Tour Trough Cyberspace
Michael Kearl takes you on a trip through Sociology as it exists on the Net.
You won‘t be disappointed. He will show you that the cyberspace medium
can truly be a ‗theater of ideas‘.
Sociology of Death and Dying
An exploration in how death is an indicator of life. Essays, commentary,
graphs and links on the death issues of our time: abortion, euthanasia, capital
punishment, life expectancies of different groups, genocide and more. Also
cross-national study in progress examining why belief in life after death

Luhman, Niklas [1927 - 1998]
Causality in the South

Niklas Luhmann, Soziale Systeme, 1995:1.
Policies of development using legal and monetary mechanisms have not been
very successful. Resistance against modernization has been explained by
factors such as ―tradition‖, ―culture‖, ―mentalities―. For Luhmann these are
more or less tautological explanations. He proposes to replace them by the
factor ―social construction of causality―. Relations between causes and effects
can no longer be treated as objective aspects of the world and as a question
of true or false judgment. Rather, causality is an infinity of possible
combinations of causes and effects which requires highly selective attribution
processes to be of any cognitive or practical value. In Luhmann‘s mind
causality is a medium of loosely couples possibilities which requires the
selection of forms, i.e. tight couplings, of interesting causes and interesting
effects.

The Attack on Mead and the Dialectics of Anthropology
In: Science and Nature 9:14-24.
A discussion of Derek Freeman‘s 1983 attack on Margaret Mead‘s Coming of
Age in Samoa (1928). Focus is on the history and significance of the doctrine
of Popperian falsifiability in anthropology. Welty argues that the ‗falsifiability‘
canon has a longer history than Popperians acknowledge, dating back at least
to Claude Bernard‘s ‗Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine‘
[1865]; moreover, this canon entails a dialectical conception of science and
its development. In light of these dialectical considerations, it is claimed that
Boasian anthropology is the negation of Biologism (sociobiology), and that the
dialectical negation of both these doctrines (biologism and Boasian
anthropology) is social evolutionism and its philosophical recapitulation,
historical materialism.

Merton‘s Strain Theory
Merton argues that strain is not created by a sudden social change, but rather
by a social structure that holds out the same goals to all its members without
giving them equal means to achieve them. Merton‘s theory focusses upon
various acts of deviance, which may lead to criminal behavior. De Melo
concentrates her short explanation on the modes of adapting to strain caused
by the restricted access to socially approved goals and means.

[1916] Mind & Society
This is considered Pareto‘s greatest work, in which he inquires into the nature
and bases of individual and social action. He argues that social classes are
formed because persons of superior ability seek to confirm and aggrandise
their social position. In an effort to rise into the elite of the upper strata,
privileged members of the lower-class groups continually strive to use their
abilities and thus improve them; the opposite tendency obtains among the
elite. The best-equipped persons from the lower class rise to challenge the
position of the upper-class elite. This is the famous ‗circulation of elites‘.

Popper, Karl Reimund [1902 - 1994]
[1972] Science: Conjectures and Refutations

Popper explains the apparent progress of scientific knowledge—how it is that
our understanding of the universe seems to improve over time. This problem
arises from his position that the truth content of our theories, even the best
of them, cannot be verified by scientific testing, but can only be falsified. If
so, then how is it that the growth of science appears to result in a growth in
knowledge?

[1835] Democracy in America

Still one of the most influential works in
political thought. Tocqueville‘s America is a
project of the American Studies Programs
at The University of Virginia. They take up
the task of re-contextualizing Tocqueville‘s
famous political and cultural analysis of
American democracy. The objective is, over
time, to return that book to its origins, to
the America of 1831-32. For it was on that
very specific ground and at that very
specific historical moment that Tocqueville
stood.

Tonnies makes a distinction between two basic types of social groups. Groups
in which the membership is based on a feeling of togetherness he termed
Gemeinschaft (often translated as community). Groups in which membership
is sustained by some instrumental goal or definite endhe termed Gesellschaft
(often translated as society). Gemeinschaft is exemplified by the family or
neighborhood; Gesellschaft, by the city or the state.
