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…
Murder in Black and White
In this paper we will tell the story of “The Poisoning of the Late Levi Smelser.” Through detailed examination of both the media reports and official documents, the ensuing narrative portrays how race and gender influence the criminal justice processes of late antebellum New Orleans. As the story unfolds, two types of accounts emerge. We come to know the major participants in this case, Kitty, the slave, Levi Smelser, the victim, Theresa Smelser,…
Creating Deviance
This paper examines the social construction of deviance in contemporary mediated society. First, it presents basic orienting questions which link poststructuralist cultural studies with concerns of interactionist labeling. These questions are a general mapping for the study of stigmatized meaning-generation. Second, it discusses the relationship between Mills's (1959) sociological imagination and Denzin's (1989a; 1989b) twin conceptions of interp…
Introduction
The labeling approach re-examined
The labeling perspective has been one of the most influential in the field of deviance over the past two decades. Firmly rooted in the thought of George Herbert Mead and Herbert Blumer, it is also referred to as the interactionist approach. The purpose of this paper is to move the interactionist perspective on deviance beyond political debate and piecemeal research to a slight measure of theoretical consensus. First, the development of the perspe…
Growing up is hard to do
This paper describes the changing nature of the rock and roll artist as a cultural symbol. The first rock stars (e.g., Elvis) were heroes for the young but decidedly antiheroic to adult society. Transitional ones (e.g., Beatles, Bob Dylan) contributed to the commercial viability of rock and more sharply defined their antiheroism in the 1960's. Contemporary artists are drawn from a wider variety of backgrounds (e.g., Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, …
Natural disasters, convergence, and four‐wheel drive “machines
This paper identifies an emergent form of behavior in disaster events which is defined as deviant by the victims of a disaster. The form of behavior described here is referred to as recreational convergence. It is emergent in the sense that it results from the propensity of individuals to converge on a disaster situation in interaction with the mass availability of a new technological product, the recreational vehicle. Such behavior is viewed in …
