Grassroots Associations and Collective Identity
This article provides the theoretical basis for applying the concept of collective identity to the study of leisure groups. Although the concept of collective identity has been most thoroughly developed in studying social movement organizations, I argue that the concept is appropriate for examining other types of grassroots associations, including hobby groups. I explore the application through examining group unity created in a midwestern inland…
Presidential Address to the MSSA Membership
This article includes the text from my Presidential Address given at the annual banquet of the Mid-South Sociological Association in November of 2014. In the speech, I highlight the challenges to academic freedom, the importance of a right to free speech, and the responsibility that comes with having both. I further argue that the MSSA, as an association of professionals, draws on the camaraderie it fosters in our organization to support and aid …
Subcultural Identity Work in Social Movements
Over time, social movements must contend with a vast array of forces that can lead to changes in the movement's collective identity. As such changes may impact the alignment of movements and their membership, this study explores how changes are perceived by members and how they are interactively addressed. Drawing on ethnographic data gathered from two Native American social movement organizations, this study specifically asks why some changes su…
Keying the Past to the Present
This article directs attention to a characteristic of collective identity that is often implied, but seldom studied: namely, its continuity through times of social movement change. While other studies have examined the conditions in which movements persist and/or endure over time, continuity is examined here as a shared sense of a consistent relation between the past and the present of the group. Drawing on ethnographic data collected from a Nati…
Collective Memory Anchors
Drawing on ethnographic data from two social movement organizations, this article highlights the way that remembrances of the past are inserted into present interactions to help maintain a sense of movement continuity. Seeing collective identity and collective memory as intertwined dynamic processes, the article argues that the continuity of a social movement is maintained, in part, when movement members insert narrative commemorations that const…
Developing the Criminal Self
Although the precise impact that Mead had on Sutherland may be somewhat of a mystery, Mead's ideas can be traced within differential association. Through an explicit articulation of Mead's social psychology, it is possible to overcome differential association's inability to connect object definitions with individual behaviors. Important to this connection are Mead's notions of self-as-communication and the development of a generalized other in th…
Collective Memories and Collective Identities
This ethnographic study of two Native American social movement organizations challenging educational practices examines the collective memory processes that occur simultaneously and in conjunction with the process of collective identity to help maintain movement unity. Links between collective memory and collective identity are theoretically traced, and the concept of narrative commemoration is proposed to help explore two distinct processes whic…
