An Embattled Yet Enduring Influence
The papers in this special issue celebrate and build on the insights Blumer provides in his pivotal book Symbolic Interactionism: Perspective and Method. In setting the context for these papers, we discuss the significance of Blumer's variant of interactionism, his contributions to the discipline of sociology, the misinterpretations and misrepresentations of his approach, and the way in which the papers in this issue carry forward his legacy
An Environmental Sociology for the Anthropocene
Attention to the relationship between nature and society has been a defining feature of environmental sociology since its inception. Early research, incorporating insights from ecology, argued for the need to (1) theorize the causal connections between nature and society and (2) contextualize those connections in terms of biophysical limits resulting from resource scarcity. Over the past two decades, partly in response to new forms of existential…

Chicago School Diaspora
The Chicago School Diaspora
When the University of Chicago was founded in 1892 it established the first sociology department in the United States. The department grew rapidly in reputation and influence and by the 1920s graduates of its program were heading newly formed sociology programs across the country and determining the direction of the discipline and its future research. Their way of thinking about social relations revolutionized the social sciences by emphasizing a…
Obama, Palin, and Weber
Barack Obama et Sarah Palin sont tous les deux souvent étiquetés en tant que charismatique par le public. Pour évaluer si oui ou non, Obama et Palin démontrent une forme de charisme tel que définit par Weber, leurs rhétoriques et leurs actions sont examinées dans le contexte d'élections passées et dans celui où règne une stagnation politique mise en scène par la guerre des cultures. Là où la connexion entre Palin et le public émerge de son rôle d…
Reconstructing Colonialism
Le lien entre l'image et l'idéologie est un des thèmes les plus étudiés en sociologie visuelle. Il existe néanmoins une sérieuse lacune dans notre compréhension des procédés visuels auxquels on a recours pour créer une idéologie. Cet article, au moyen d'une analyse du rôle de la juxtaposition et de l'enchaînement visuels dans la publication gouvernementale britannique The Colonies in Pictures , atteste un mécanisme jusqu'ici ignoré dans la format…
The Governance of Science
Part 1 The political and material conditions of scientific inquiry: science as the open society and its ideological deformations the role of scale in the scope of scientific governance. Part 2 The university as a site for the governance of science: the historical interdependence of the university and knowledge production multiculturalism's challenge to academic integrity, or a tale of two churches the university as a capitalism's final frontier, …

From sociology to theology
The Social Construction of Validity in Estimates of US Crude Oil Reserves
The resource estimates of M. King Hubbert, and the method he used to generate these estimates, are described. When Hubbert made his first estimate it reflected the consensus of opinion within the industry. The conclusions he drew about the future of the US oil industry, however, contradicted the conventional wisdom within both industry and government. His estimates were criticized and rejected, and a number of markedly higher estimates soon appea…
Estimating U.S. Crude Oil Resources
Resource estimates are generally assumed to be the direct product of geological and engineering information. Historical analysis, using a perspective suggested by the sociology of science, demonstrates that social factors influence the magnitude and variation among resource estimates made during the same historical period. In terms of magnitude and variation, three chronological patterns in the estimates of United States crude oil resources can b…
