From character to habitus in sociology
The idea of social character has a long and important history within sociological thought. The concept addresses the fundamental question of the relationship between society and the individual, structure and agency. Tracing the development of the idea of social character from the classical sociology of Marx and Weber to more contemporary writings within American sociology by figures such as Fromm, Reisman, and Mills reveals ideas and perspectives…
The Developmental State in Mauritius
THE Portuguese were the first Europeans to come across the island of Mauritius. It was found by the Dutch in 1598, and the Dutch East India Company settlement created in 1638 introduced both sugar cane and slavery. The French arrived in 1721, using slaves to clear large holdings which eventually became sugar cane plantations. Over time there emerged a colonial society of extreme inequality, where power and privilege belonged to estate planters fr…

Exploratory notes on criminality and emotional ambivalence
An essay on time and the phenomenology of imprisonment
Social philosophy and sociological theory have determined time to be central to human reality. In particular, phenomenolo‐gists have argued that space and time is essential to human being. Thus, alterations in the nature of experienced time are significant areas for sociological investigation. One such case is present in the experience of imprisonment. The structure of time in prison is very different from that of everyday life. Prison time is, m…

Becoming normal
Certification is the final stage in exiting from a career in crime. This paper presents the major elements in the process of certification as revealed by an analysis of a set of life‐history interviews. This look at the process of certification uncovers that, like deviance, conventionality is a social phenomenon constructing from both social action and societal reaction
A Theory of Criminal Justice
Law as Symbolic Action
In this paper, I present Kenneth Burke's sociology of law as a critical interactionist alternative to the now dominant functionalist sociology of law. Burke's perspective conceives of the law as a form of symbolic action that contributes much to social order. Further it ties the structure and operation of the law to the ontological symbolicity of human being. Finally I suggest that the use of this theoretical framework in research on the place of…
Perspectives on Victimology
A further investigation of the life-world
The Life-World
Being victimized can lead one to discover heretofore neglected elements of the social life-world. Discovery in vivid form of one's vulnerability to death reveals the pervasive importance of hopefulness
An Exploratory Study of Exiting From Criminal Careers
This paper explores the process of exiting from criminal careers through unstructured interviews with twenty nonprofessional property offenders. he findings suggest that (I) exiting is motivated by the deterrent force of imprisonment and the offender's desire to “settle down”; (2) success in exiting revolves around the establishment of a social bond to the conventional world. In general, these findings support social control as a theory of crimin…
Sociology and New Journalism
Symbolic action, art, and social order
The sociological theory of Hugh Dalziel Duncan is reviewed as a symbolic interactionist answer to the Hobbesian question. It is argued that Duncan's work provides contemporary sociology with a comprehensive symbolic theory, and that a reconsideration of this work will produce a much-needed awareness of the importance of form and art to sociological thinking. Duncan's theoretical work is proposed as a powerful alternative to structural-functionali…
