Una sociología de lo no marcado
Wayne Brekhus, sociólogo y profesor en la Universidad de Missouri, señala en el artículo que presentamos a continuación que la sociología estadounidense ha desarrollado una "tradición de lo marcado", es decir, una tendencia a centrar su atención en las características "políticamente sobresalientes" y "ontológicamente inusuales" de la vida social. Consideramos que esta afirmación, con sus matices, puede aplicarse a la disciplina en otros contextos…
The Rutgers School
In this article, the Zerubavelian culturalist cognitive paradigm which comprises an emerging Rutgers School of Sociology is presented. This perspective employs a comparative cognitive pluralist approach to the study of cognition and takes as its central premise that the mind is social.

Une sociologie de l'« invisibilité
Cet article suggère que la sociologie américaine a de facto développé une tradition de recherche du « marqué », qui consacre une plus grande attention épistémologique aux dispositifs « politiquement saillants » de la vie sociale.

"What does it mean to be a gay man living in the suburbs? Do you identify primarily as gay, or suburban, or some combination of the two? For that matter, how does anyone decide what his or her identity is? In this first-ever ethnography of American gay suburbanites, Wayne H. Brekhus demonstrates that who one is depends at least in part on where and when one is. For many urban gay men, being homosexual is key to their identity because they live, w…
A Sociology of the Unmarked
This article suggests that American sociology has developed a de facto tradition in the sociology of the marked that devotes greater epistemological attention to 'politically salient' and 'ontologically uncommon' features of social life. Although the 'unmarked' comprises the vast majority of social life, the 'marked' commands a disproportionate share of attention from sociologists. Since the marked already draws more attention within the general …
