Interaction Order
The interaction order, produced by systems of enabling conventions that emerge to manage social situations of co‐bodily presence, is the central concept of Erving Goffman's sociology. It is analytically distinct from both macro‐ and microstructures. As a theoretical construct, it is a Simmelian–Durkheimian hybrid. Its influence extends directly over a broad and diverse range of contemporary theorists
Scp>D ewey, J ohn (1859–1952)
John Dewey was perhaps the most prominent US public philosopher over the course of his long career. Along with his students and colleagues, he introduced pragmatism into American sociology. He was a seminal figure in social psychology, the sociology of education, urban sociology, and the sociology of culture. His work continues to guide sociologists in the present day, especially those engaging the new “public sociology
Durkheim and the Birth of Economic Sociology
Front Page Economics
In an age when pundits constantly decry overt political bias in the media, we have naturally become skeptical of the news. But the bluntness of such critiques masks the highly sophisticated ways in which the media frame important stories. In Front Page Economics , Gerald Suttles delves deep into the archives to examine coverage of two major economic crashes—in 1929 and 1987—in order to systematically break down the way newspapers normalize crises…

Interaction Order
The interaction order, as conceived by Erving Goffman, is constructed around systems of enabling conventions that – without recourse to social contract or social consensus, as often assumed – provide a basis of social order. The interaction order, Goffman insists, is a substantive domain in its own right, engendered by social situations, interactions in which at least two actors are co‐bodily present. That is, against the claims of either micro‐ …
Dewey, John (1859–1952)
John Dewey, perhaps the most prominent US public philosopher in the first half of the twentieth century, has cast a large shadow over many fields of sociology: social psychology, urban sociology, the sociology of education, the sociology of culture, political sociology, and public sphere theory, among others. Above all, he helped infuse much of American sociology with a spirit of pragmatism. In addition to his seminal contributions to the study o…

Screwing the System
Screwing the System and Making it Work
Who is responsible for juvenile delinquency? Mark D. Jacobs uses ethnographic, statistical, and literary methods to uncover the many levels of disorganization in American juvenile justice. By analyzing the continuities betwen normal casework and exceptional cases, he reveals that probation officers must commonly contrive informal measures to circumvent a system which routinely obstructs the delivery of services to their clients. Jacobs defines th…

Juvenile Correctional Reform
The End of Liberalism in the Administration of Social Casework
Problems of administering human service organizations derive from institutional as well as technical aspects of their environments. In contrast to the recent emphasis on the technical problems of "implementation " and "street-level bureaucracy, " this case study of special education and foster care policy emphasizes instead the institutional problems of interest group liberalism. Besides applying the "end of liberalism "thesis to new policy areas…
