Making Claims, Making Problems, Making Morality
New Media Pharmacology
New media theorist Mark Hansen, in Feed-Forward: On the Future of Twenty-first Century Media and a series of articles, argues that the most sophisticated forms of media technology today have the capacity to broaden and enrich human experience and consciousness. Refusing the popular discourses of nonhuman and posthuman, while acknowledging yet turning away from the dystopian, he insists, using the figure of the Pharmakon and the philosophy of Alfr…

Haraway's Viral Cyborg
Nearly thirty years ago, Donna Haraway began writing her famous essay published in 1985 as A Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Feminism in 1980s. In its vision, argument, and detail, it resonates strongly with what today is called viral analysis and criticism. In what follows I'll briefly suggest how. First, essay was blasphemous, transgressive, and invasive, arguably all viral qualities. Its claims for liberatory promise of her cyb…
Off the Sidelines and onto the Court
Rewriting the subject of knowledge
In 1985, I was moving along a more or less definable disciplinary path, writing qualitative sociology guided by my understanding of leading symbolic interactionist texts, productively disturbed by affection for Harold Garfinkel's ethnomethodology. Although there were prior lines of influence, my writing then was focused especially on various “social constructionist” projects, first with Peter Conrad (Conrad & Schneider, 1992 [1980]; Schneider & C…

How Claims Spread
Why do the same social problems emerge in different societies? Unlike traditional sociological explanations, which argue that the structural and cultural causes of social problems are to be found within different societies, the chapters in this collection examine the role played by external diffusion in the construction of social problems. Claims that appear in one country spread to other nations through various channels, ranging from interperson…
Reflexive/Diffractive Ethnography
This article calls attention to the productive intersection of various postcriticisms of knowledge production and the critique of ethnography as a writing technology for producing scientific knowledge about others. In particular, poststructural and deconstructive criticism, cultural studies, feminist science studies, postcolonial theory, and queer theory are seen to have focused disruptive and useful attention on the ethnographic I/eye, both insi…
Giving Care, Writing Self
Writing and Reading Feminist Poststructural Criticism in U.S. Sociology
At the 1999 meetings of the Midwest Sociological Society, a session was organized to mark the 1998 publication of the second edition of Patricia Clough’s 1992 book The End(s) of Ethnography: From Realism to Social Criticism. Presenters had been asked to comment on the significance of Clough’s book and its arguments in their own work and thought. There were four brief presentations, and Clough responded to questions and comments afterward. Slightl…

Troubles With Textual Authority In Sociology
This text raises questions about the dilemma of the authorial voice in sociology texts that presume to present factual, data-based narratives about other people and their lives. The discussion bears particularly on so-called qualitative and historical forms of sociological writing although the issues are equally alive for other sociological genres. The dilemma of the authorial voice has beer given rather wide attention of late in literary studies…

The chapters are drawn together based on the social definitional or social constructionist view that social problems are not conditions but rather the definitional activities of people making claims and responses to such conditions.

Social Problems Theory
This paper reviews and critiques the origin and development of a new specialty in sociology, the sociology of social problems. While social problems long has been a topic of sociological attention, it is only since the work of Blumer and, most especially, Spector & Kitsuse in the early 1970s, that a theoretically integrated and empirically viable tradition of writing and research has developed. The central proposition of this tradition is that so…

Homosexuality and American Psychiatry
In 1973, after several years of bitter dispute, the Board of Trustees of the American Psychiatric Association decided to remove homosexuality from its official list of mental diseases. Infuriated by the Board's action, a substantial number of dissident psychiatrists charged the association's leadership with capitulating to the pressures of Gay Liberation groups, and forced the board to submit its decision to a referendum of the full APA membershi…

In the Closet with Illness
In this paper we extend and modity the metaphor of being in or out of the closet to analyze how people manage information to control the stigma potential of epilepsy. Based on 80 depth interviews, our analysis offers an “insider's” perception of stigma. We demonstrate how concealment strategies can be learned from coaches, that strategies for concealment vary, and that rather than simply indicating a situation one is in or out of, the closet of e…

Is war a social problem
typically European phenomenon, the statewar system. Now, it is possible to make out a substantial case for the view that the recurrent irruptions of military hostilities which have rent the life of European man from early times are a function of the anatomy of the state-war complex. War as a relationship of contention is a lasting feature of things as they are. The conditions of military violence are endemic to European civilization. Only the fre…
