Authenticity and Carrier Agents
Political campaigns require constant performance from politicians. This presents ample opportunity for the occurrence of political gaffes. While it is not surprising that political gaffes can have a major impact on political campaigns, the process by which a gaffe is transformed into a meaning‐laden defining campaign event is underanalyzed. To address this, we analyze and reconstruct the media trajectory of three instances, two involving Senate c…
Good Ol’ Boy Talk versus the Blogosphere in the Case of Former Senator George Allen
The unsuccessful 2006 reelection campaign of then incumbent Republican senator George Allen of Virginia is employed to discuss the emergent role of blogging in political discourse. We analyze reconstructed interactions between weblog and mainstream media coverage to argue that Allen's use of the racial slur "macaca" was successfully mobilized by progressive Virginia bloggers to create a negative narrative about Allen that was then picked up and e…
The Making of Friends and Enemies
As constructivists correctly argue, identities are key to understanding international relations. In this analysis, we examine three historical cases in order to develop a model addressing the question of when elites are able to successfully market a redefinition of both an external actor and themselves to their national publics. All three cases in this pilot study involve the American public being asked to reconceive the identity of, respectively…
The Social Fund 20 Years On
Consuming Politics
Information They Can Trust
In the 2004 presidential election, perhaps 54% of the nation's youngest cohort—dubbed “Generation Next” by some pollsters—cast a vote. This was a substantial increase over the 42% of eligible 18–25-year-olds who voted in the 2000 election (U.S. Census Bureau 2005; Pew Center 2007). Still, youth voting rates lagged behind the voting rates of those citizens older than 25–66% made their way to the polls on Election Day in 2004 (Lopez, Kirby, and Sag…
Seasons such as these
Advocacy and Enumeration
Enumerating or estimating the numbers of homeless people has become an important research activity in the past few decades. The methodologies of almost all efforts to count homeless people have been closely linked to advocacy activities such as providing shelter and food to those in need. Yet the effect of advocacy work on estimating or enumerating homeless populations has not been much examined in the enumeration literature. This work reviews th…
Claimsmakers and Contexts in Early Constructions of Homelessness
This study compares the emergence of homelessness as a 'new' social problem from 1977 through 1981 in New York City and Washington, D.C. The two cases illustrate a comparative constructionist method that analyzes evolving claimsmaking activities, the context in which they were embedded, and the interplay between claimsmaking and context. The method aided in identifying why homelessness became primarily a problem of deficient and pathological indi…
Homeless Mothers and Depression
This paper is a critique of recent service-intensive shelter programs for homeless mothers and the policies that underlie these shelters. We first document the process by which mental health problems and family homelessness became so closely but mistakenly linked. We then demonstrate empirically that shelter programs for homeless families nonetheless presume that mental health problems are part of the causal nexus of family homelessness and indis…
Something Left to Lose
The rhetoric of domination and its strategic use by homeless mothers
I examine power as it is used by those thought to be among the most powerless women in our society—sheltered homeless women. I first describe homeless shelters as a form of total institution. Next, using evidence from a longitudinal study of sheltered mothers, I demonstrate that homeless women are not passive victims of this total institution. Instead, the structure of shelter life provides homeless women with opportunities for effective action. …
The Unequal Homeless
The Unequal Homeless explores the persistence, as opposed to the occurrence, of homelessness. With this focus, which is absent in most of the contemporary homelessness literature, the author shows how cultural expressions of beliefs about gender difference help to perpetuate the homelessness of particular groups of people in New York City. The people who are persistently homeless in New York are, overwhelmingly, black men. The reason, Passaro con…
The Therapeutic Incarceration of Homeless Families
We discovered from a sample of 340 homeless families that services designed to aid them emerged from two, often conflicting, scrambles for resources. Social service providers parlayed public sentiment toward homelessness into service-intensive programs. The homeless took advantage of such programs, not necessarily for the services, but as a way to more quickly get subsidized housing. The result was an unintentional conflict of interest and failed…
