The Communist hero and the April Fool's joke: The cultural politics of authentication and fakery
In 1963, Chairman Mao made a national hero of an ordinary soldier named Lei Feng, said to have been inspired by collectivism to do countless selfless deeds. Sceptical observers inside and outside China disparage the persistent Lei Feng legend, judging it to be a laughably fraudulent construct of the Communist Party. We take this contrast as an opportunity to examine the cultural politics of authentication and fakery. We show that critics of the C…
The narrative self in rural dementia: A case study from eastern Nova Scotia
This analysis examines how the narrative self of a person with dementia is maintained by family members in a small rural Nova Scotian community. In the literature, the expectation is often that rurality is a condition of isolation, distance from family and limited health resources. However, drawing on three years of ethnographic and interviewing research with a large extended family whose patriarch, Alexander, is a person with dementia, we demons…
The Forgotten Work of Cultural Workers
This paper is based on work history interviews with a group of nine Toronto theatre workers covering a three-year period. During the interviews, participants did not spontaneously mention 13.1 per cent of their jobs in the creative cultural sector. Because forgotten work fails to register in surveys attempting to assess cultural workers' contributions to the economy or to ameliorate their precarious conditions, it is important to explore why and …
The Emergence of an Elder-Blaming Discourse in Twenty-First Century China
Story sequencing and stereotyping: A case study from talk about the crowded buses of China
Over the last decade, sometimes violent conflicts have erupted between generations in China over who should have a seat on a crowded bus. Through a small story approach to an extended sequence of Chinese bus stories, this study examines how elder-blaming comes to be instantiated in talk-in-interaction. The analysis elaborates Deppermann's finding that cooperative in-group bonding is not the sole reason that out-group stereotypes are instantiated:…
Men, Masculinities and Constructions of Self in Panic Discourse
Even while they advocate for qualitative, interpretive approaches to understanding panic disorder, sociologists and feminist geographers have taken the statistics on it at face value, conducting research with women because panic has been reported to be a gender-specific problem. We still lack a sociology that effectively considers men's experience of panic. Accordingly, we use data from in-depth interviews, conducted with 22 Canadian women and me…
Timor mortis conturbat me: Genocide Pedagogy and Vicarious Trauma
Genocide instructors in the social sciences speak little of how their pedagogy should address students' emotions, and even less of their own emotional states. I provide a personal narrative about my teaching experiences that illustrates the issues that instructors may face and the significance of addressing them. The narrative is analyzed using three concepts from social and clinical psychology—burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatiz…

L'histoire des peuples autochtones ne figure pas parmi les sujets qui sont traités dans la recherche comparée en génocide. Les auteures examinent l'approche conceptuelle qui a conduit à cette lacune en s'attardant à la terminologie employée et à la distinction qu'impose la typologie du génocide entre génocide idéologique et génocide provoqué par l'expansion d'un groupe aux dépens d'un autre, et en soulignant l'importance qui est rattachée dans ce…

Pens, Polls, and Theories: The 1990 Nicaraguan Election Revisited: A Reply to Anderson
In Neutrality and Bias in the 1990 Nicaraguan Preelection Polls, Leslie Anderson makes three critical points about our article, Pens and Polls in Nicaragua: An Analysis of the 1990 Preelection Surveys (Bischoping and Schuman 1992). She claims that the design of the pen experiment was defective due to our unawareness of the potential significance of color in Nicaraguan politics; asserts that the DOXA polling organization was able to avoid the susp…

Making Stories, Making Selves: Feminist Reflections on the Holocaust
Ruth Linden's bold, experimental book explores the interconnected processes of remembering, storytelling, and self-fashioning. Juxtaposing autobiography and ethnography, Linden begins this study by situating herself in the context of her assimilated Jewish family, where the Holocaust was shrouded in silences. Urged forward by these silences, Linden, a feminist and sociologist, began to interview Jewish Holocaust survivors in 1983. As Linden inter…
Pens and Polls in Nicaragua: An Analysis of the 1990 Preelection Surveys
In order to understand the problems of interpreting political surveys in highly polarized societies, we analyze the results of 17 preelection polls carried out during the three months preceding the 1990 Nicaraguan election. We also draw on findings from a survey-based experiment on response bias administered in the last days of the election campaign. Both sets of data are used to explore five hypotheses that might account for the large inconsiste…
