Bible Nation
Bible Nation: The United States of Hobby Lobby, is a well-written, thorough study of a slice of contemporary American religion. It adds detail to our understanding of the Green family, their Hobby Lobby craft store company, and the creation of the Museum of the Bible. It is great investigative journalism, but it offers little more than an interesting story for the sociologist of religion. By the authors’ own admission, they had not heard of the G…
Taking Conspiracy Theory Seriously
Tales about the nefarious natures of secret societies such as the Illuminati and the Freemasons have been around since the eighteenth century. And since at least the nineteenth century, such conspi
A Left Feminist Comment on Supporting Hillary Clinton
Very little in my adult life has made me feel my feminism so strongly as the 2016 defeat of Hillary Rodham Clinton. And by “defeat,” I mean her utter evisceration by the press, many Bernie Sanders supporters, the Donald Trump campaign, and a shocking number of regular Americans. The disgusting patriarchal bacchanalia that occurred during the campaign has nearly been matched by the attacks on Clinton that have continued since the election. She has…

Reflexivity
This article considers how one researcher used reflexivity in two research projects. Qualitative research often involves a consideration of sensitive topics, one which may include research with individuals formerly addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. However, there is little in the literature that focuses directly on such experiences for researchers in this field; that is, a consideration of how a researcher might use reflectivity while interviewin…

Slavery at Jefferson's Monticello
Few trips to Washington, D.C., are complete without a stop at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Within an imposing marble building that recalls the Pantheon in Rome, tourists commune with a stately nineteen-foot-tall bronze statue of the Sage of Monticello, surrounded by stone-carved excerpts from the Declaration of Independence, the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and other historic documents in which Jefferson articulated his highest ideal…
The Autonomous Animal
Kill the Bill
Recent political actions in several Midwestern states have been reported as struggles between newly elected Republican governors and labor. However, the highly coordinated attacks reach beyond labor issues and can be read as the domestic face of the post-9/11 security state. "Gateway laws" push the limits of American tolerance for increased state authority that is rooted in the logic of the security state. Recent protests can be read as American …

The Dispensability of Metaphor
Many philosophers claim that metaphor is indispensable for various purposes. What I shall call the ‘Indispensability Thesis’ is the view that we use at least some metaphors to think, to express, to communicate, or to discover what cannot be thought, expressed, communicated, or discovered without metaphor. I argue in this paper that support for the Indispensability Thesis is based on several confusions. I criticize arguments presented by Stephen Y…
Rural women's stories of recovery from addiction
In general, much has been written on women's patterns of drug use and the varying factors that impel them into addiction and subsequently into recovery. However, there is a paucity of information on rural Appalachian women and how they make meaning of their recovery processes. Drawing on data collected through informal interviews this article explicates dimensions of the various strategies 25 rural women develop and apply as they shift from using…

The Greatest Generation Grows Up
The Greatest Generation Grows Up, by Kriste Lindenmeyer, is a remarkably compelling and enlightening account of the children who came of age in the 1930s. Lindenmeyer borrows her title from Tom Brokaw, who nostalgically referred to the individuals who lived through the Great Depression and fought in World War II as “the greatest generation.” Lindenmeyer chooses not to contest Brokaw's assessment of the youth of that era. However, hers is a work o…
Gender and Marx's radical humanism in the economic and philosophic manuscripts of 1844
Marx speaks of “human” as a starting point for his discussion of infinite variability, mutability, and differences among human beings. In this article, I unpack Marx's notion of “species-being” in order to establish Marx's idea about the historical nature of human beings. I then go on to show how Marx viewed the male/female relation as an indicator of the development of a nonanimalistic human. I conclude by showing how Marxian humanism is radical…
A "Real Boy" and not a Sissy
This essay charts the changing definitions and experiences of sissy boys in early twentieth century America. At this time the term sissy, which had emerged out of the boy culture of mid nineteenth century America, evolved to encompass not only social but familial and clinical opprobium. In the nineteenth century, sissies might be castigated by their peers but celebrated by their families. Little boys were considered to be the province of their mo…
Assault under Color of Authority
This article argues that the frequency and intensity of police corruption scandals indicate that they are not "corruptions" but are the norm. Police believe that they must break the law in order to enforce it. I connect this to Austin Sarat's notions about the relationship between law and violence. I also situate the discussion in terms of theories of "new institutionalism." The article uses details of the LAPD Rampart scandal as an illustration.…
Un point de vue féministe sur la bureaucratie étatique
Les perspectives existantes sur l'étude de la bureaucratie d'État ne tiennent pas compte du sexe. Cet article propose donc une approche féministe, mettant en valeur la "structure double de la représentation inégale". Cette approche reconnaît la structure de la représentation des questions concernant la femme au sein de groupes en particulier, mais souligne qu'une telle représentation s'emboîte dans une deuxième structure qui résulte des positions…

Children's Wishes in Custody and Access Disputes
The Family Law Act (1975) Section 62(1) (b) provides that, with regard to the custody of, or guardianship or, or access to a child of a marriage, where the child has attained the age of 14 years, “the Court shall not make an Order under this Part contrary to the wishes of the child, unless the Court is satisfied that by reason of special circumstances it is necessary to do so”

As a result, this edition offers a reading of _The Mirror of Simple Souls_ that solves a number of difficulties found in th…
