Order and Agency in Modernity: Talcott Parsons, Erving Goffman, and Harold Garfinkel
Ideological Language and Social Movement Mobilization: A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Segregationists' Ideologies
The current 'cultural turn' in the study of social movements has produced a number of concepts formulating the cultural-symbolic dimension of collective actions. This proliferation, however, has resulted in some confusion about which cultural-symbolic concept is best applied to understanding cultural processes involved in social movements. We articulate a new definition of ideology that makes it an empirically useful concept to the study of socia…

Twenty Lashes for Sociology
Undergraduate Teaching Environments: Normative Orientations to Teaching Among Faculty in the Higher Educational System
This paper illustrates that higher education is a system integrated by shared values and is also differentiated according to institutional teaching orientations. This illustration is accomplished through a 'visual display' of shared and differentiated teaching goals as faculty reported these in a national survey conducted in 1973. Using these teaching goals, six normative teaching orientations are derived. The six orientations associated with hig…

have focused upon aggregate behavior, that is, on national character studies, on studies of collective action in political and religious movements, or on revolutionary activity, and so on. However, analyses of such group action employing psychosocial frameworks have not fared well in sociology: either they did not meet the scientific standards of the sociological discipline or they did not seem to lead anywhere. Today there is mostly apathy, ambi…
Faculty Teaching Goals, 1968-1973
The findings reported in this paper are taken from two national surveys of faculty conducted in 1968 and 1973. A comparison of these findings indicates that there has been no change in degree of emphasis upon and content of teaching among faculty during this period despite pressures upon them to change their attitudes toward undergraduate teaching. This lack of change is explained in terms of a dominant teaching orientation which is an outgrowth …
