Ritual Dynamics: Mayor Making in Early Modern Norwich
Through a detailed analysis of a Guild Day ceremony in early modern England we demonstrate that liminal points in this ritual are interrelated to form a "pattern" or "dance" of liminal pulsations. We argue it is the felt necessity, on the part of participants, to complete that pattern that provides a dynamic to any ritual event. It impels participants to continue the ritual to its conclusion and leads them to resist any interference with the "flo…
Heritage Sailing in Australia: A Preliminary Schema
Distinguishing between replica and restored sailing vessels in terms of their emphasis on heritage and sailing and between the intellectual and kinaesthetic appreciation of heritage produces a simple classificatory schema. Using this schema enables one to distinguish stationary exhibits, ?museum? vessels, sail training vessels and commercial vessels. The schema suggests several research areas for further enquiry
Postmodern consumption and alternative medications
Alternative medicine consumption is examined as a paradigm case of postmodern consumption. Content analysis of advertisements and analysis of a survey of purchasers of such medicines demonstrate niche markets delineated by life style, an emphasis on symbolic value rather than use value and the use of such medicines as a means of self-assembly - all features predicted by theorists of postmodern society. However, purchasers are predominantly female…
Intensification, Extension and Complexity of Teachers' Workload
Teachers in Tasmania, Australia, gave accounts of their experience of increased workload in the 10 years between 1984 and 1994. They reported working longer hours, teaching more students and having increased professional, pastoral and administrative duties. The reasons for this increased workload include: (1) less money being spent on education; (2) changes in student assessment from a norm basis to a criterion basis; (3) a change in the administ…
General practitioners' attitudes toward complementary therapies
Convergence between Orthodox and Alternative Medicine: A Theoretical Elaboration and Empirical Test
The idea that orthodox and alternative medical systems are converging, postulated by Willis (1989), is tested through a survey of general practitioners and interviews with alternative practitioners in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, undertaken in 1997. The results suggest that there is convergence between the practices of both therapeutic modalities evidenced by use of medical diagnostic procedures by alternative practitioners, use of alternative th…
Participation and Inclusion ‐ a Discourse of Welfare or a Discourse of Rights
Research among students with physical and sensory disabilities who have succeeded in continuing their education at post‐compulsory level as far as higher education, revealed that they have a high level of perceived personal control. This is strongly linked with educational attainment irrespective of severity of disability. The emphasis of these students upon self‐help groups, and institutional response to student needs within a discourse of right…
Protestants in a Catholic State: Ireland's Privileged Minority
Health and Canadian society: Sociological perspectives
The Politics of Legitimacy
Religious War in Northern Ireland
Conflict in Northern Ireland in August 1969 is seen as a consequence of the type and patterning of social relationships in that society. Social relations are personal and patterned primarily by the categories of Protestant and Catholic which are ascribed at birth. This patterning results in communities of Catholics and communities of Protestants. These communities form 'congregations' in the 'churches' of Republicanism and Loyalism respectively. …
