  • Toward a Dramaturgical Interpretation of Religion

    Paul Harrison, Paul M HarrisonARTICLESociological Analysis1977Cited by: 1

    A distinction is drawn between theatricality and dramaturgy as modes for interpreting social and religious life. By means of theatricality scholars tend to analyze life as “theater” as “playacting” or “role-playing.” Theater is viewed as a metaphor for what “actually” occurs in life. By contrast, dramaturgists interpret life as essentially dramatic in its interpersonal and collective aspects, whether the drama is significant or trivial, good or p…

    “In this situation social workers are faced with a permanent dilemma. In their field activities, the workers must not assume a judgmental and moral stance in their therapeutic relation to the client public, but at the same time they must encourage a spirit of moral judgment within a society whose structures and values sustain and excuse exploitation and injustice. It is at this point in the development of a new social theory of values, and in the…

  • Two Currents in the Sociology of Religion

    Open AccessPaul M HarrisonARTICLETheology Today1967

    “It is widely assumed ... that scholars of religion, especially historians and sociologists, should by some magic immunity stand aloof from the heady disputes that are splitting ministers into churchmen and non-churchmen and dividing the theologians into theists and dead-theists ... But neither sociology nor history has yet developed a device that enables scholars to be at once deeply interested in their subject and perfectly disinterested with r…

    Open AccessPaul Harrison, Paul M HarrisonARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1960

    Increasing attention is being paid on the fringes of the major Protestant denominations to the role of laymen in the work of the churches. A theology of the laity is in process of development and represents an effort to distinguish between ecclesiastical and secular vocations of the church's ministry. Despite emphasis, however, on the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers there is a subtle clericalism in the denominations which undermines t…

  • Weber's Categories of Authority and Voluntary Associations

    Paul Harrison, Paul M HarrisonARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review1960Cited by: 5

    The ideology of voluntary social groups in America tends to be anti-authoritarian. The constituency of these groups is distrustful of centralization and further rationalization of their organizations. However, to achieve the imperative goals of these voluntary associations bureaucracy is necessary, social tension increases, and the problems of authority and power become increasingly acute. Modes for the legitimation of authority are found to be s…
