Identity work by alternative high school students
This article examines the adaptive strategies of institutionally marginalized students in an alternative high school setting. Snow and Anderson's (1987) model of ''identity work '' is used to analyze the ways in which students symbolically distance themselves from certain features of their ''home'' school and embrace certain features of their alternative school. Drawing upon semistructured interviews with 25 students, it is argued that these dist…

An Incipient "Wonder Drug" Movement: DMSO and the Food and Drug Administration
In 1962 a cheap industrial solvent was accidentally found to have several medical uses, including pain relief. As researchers rushed to investigate its potential, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was given a “wonder drug” image by the press.

A movement of lay and scientific groups emerge…

This article, in contrast, views lie-detector tests as a social control convention and focuses upon the technique's social organization and interactive context. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with polygraph examiners and the second author's lengthy experience as a practicing examiner, the article describes the examiner's…

False pretense and deviant exploitation: Fortunetelling as a con
This paper presents a dramaturgical analysis of the backstage manipulations carried out by practitioners of the deviant occupation known as fortunetelling. It is generally believed that con games require a dishonest victim, although many practitioners manipulate their impressions with clients who are seeking a service rather than a profit. The group of fortunetellers included in this study are nonbelievers and hence fundamentally misrepresent the…
