Do We Need a General Theory of Social Problems
This chapter discusses Peter R. Ibarra and John I. Kitsuse's paper, Constructionist Controversies: Issues in Social Problems Theory, that provides an excellent example of a constructionist study that draws extensively upon a programmatic distinction between everyday discourse and professional analysis. The central aim of the theoretical introduction to Ibarra and Kitsuse's paper seems to be to articulate a blind spot generic to the conduct of soc…
Order without Rules: Critical Theory and the Logic of Conversation
Order without rules: Critical Theory and the Logic of Conversation
Order Without Rules establishes the basic terms for a critical discourse between the theory of communicative action and the tradition of practice-based inquiries inspired by Wittgenstein and elaborated within the field of ethnomethodology. It argues that such a discourse not only is possible, but that it is essential if critical theory is to move beyond the crisis caused by the decline of the great rationalist social projects of the past two cent…
The Spectacle of History: Speech, Text and Memory at the Iran-Contra Hearings
"Sociology's Asociological "Core: An Examination of Textbook Sociology in Light of the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge
The sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) has challenged many of the core conceptions of theory and method that remain entrenched in sociology textbooks. In conjunction with recent developments in history and philosophy of science, sociologists of science speak of the disunity of science and describe the local-historical origins of particular scientific facts and laws. Core sociology textbooks devote no attention to the methodological implicati…
The Spectacle of History: Speech, Text, and Memory at the Iran-Contra Hearings
How is history produced? How do individuals write—or rewrite—their parts while engaged in the production of history? Michael Lynch and David Bogen take the example of the Iran-contra hearings to explore these questions. These hearings, held in 1987 by the Joint House-Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaragua Opposition, provided the nation with a media spectacle and a rare chance to see a struggle over the wr…
The Allure of a 'Truly General Theory of Knowledge and Science: A Comment on Pels
in danger of being compromised by a series of at its theoretical core. These deficiencies he attributes to the movement's legacy in the work of the later Wittgenstein. Pels associates Wittgenstein's reflections on grammar and logic with an attitude of valuefree which integrates a strongly antiepistemological and antinormativistic temper within a radically contextualist and descriptivist methodology (p. 32). This general analytical temperament is …

Order without Rules: Wittgenstein and the 'Communicative Ethics Controversy
A central supposition of the communicative ethics controversy in modern social theory has been either that there exist universal standards against which we can judge the validity of speech and moral argumentation or, conversely, that there are no determinate standards to which moral claims can be held answerable, and hence no methods by which disputes over contested claims can rationally be resolved. In this paper it is argued that the basic term…

Linguistic Forms and Social Obligations: A Critique of the Doctrine of Literal Expression in Searle
In Defense of Dada-Driven Analysis
For a writing to be a writing it must continue to act and to be readable even when what is called the author of the writing no longer answers for what he has written, for what he seems to have signed, be it because of a temporary absence, because he is dead or, more generally, because he has not employed his absolutely actual and present intention or attention, the plenitude of his desire to say what he means, order to sustain what seems to be wr…

A reappraisal of Habermas's Theory of Communicative Action in light of detailed investigations of social praxis
Taking Account of the Hostile Native: Plausible Deniability and the Production of Conventional History in the Iran-Contra Hearings
This paper examines the video record of a segment of Oliver North s testimony before joint Congressional committees investigating the Iran-Contra Affair during the summer of 1987 and analyzes the constitutive relationship between the testimony and an emergent “master narrative” being assembled by committee investigators from a mass of documents and prior testimonies. The details of North's testimony display the witness's biographical relations to…
Justice" versus "Individualized Treatment" in the Juvenile Court
Should the Juvenile Court concentrate upon individual treatment to the exclusion of considerations of justice? The author of this article is superintendent of Juvenile Hall, the juvenile detention home for Los Angeles County, and was previously a probation officer. In the light of his experience he feels that the widening gap between theory and practice in this field must be bridged and that individualized treatment must be reconciled with princi…
Juvenile Delinquency and Economic Trend
F LUCTUATIONS in the number of cases brought into Juvenile Court from year to year are of interest to the general public as well as to professional workers in this field and are interpreted in various ways, the interpretation frequently depending upon the prejudices or purposes of the observer. Thus, a public official may call attention to a decrease in the incidence of delinquency as evidence of the efficiency of his administration. Advocates of…
