Social performances and their discontents
Social Synaesthesia
This article introduces the notion of social synaesthesia as a means of theorizing about mindbody-society relationships. Following a brief discussion of synaesthesia, the concept of social synaesthesia is developed. This concept is then illustrated using photic (light) experiences among devotees in a religious group. It is argued that these experiences illustrate the materialization or embodiment of the experience of charisma in a leader's presen…
Civilised Bodies Redux
Moving bodies
This article develops an application of the social organization of space to the study of public health. The authors analyse the ways in which auto-centred transport, as a sociomaterial organization of space, structures the distribution of fitness, injury and death, and the ways in which actors experience space. The specific focus of this essay is the effects of auto-centred social organizations of space-time and technology on accidents, on the ri…
The automobile and transport policy
Auto‐centered transport systems are analyzed and related to contemporary transport policy. Auto‐centered transport features a high level of dependence on the auto for daily mobility, and a social space and built environment dominated by the material infrastructures of automobility.

While both are important, the attribution of accident causation to systemic factors remains largely ignored. Even in targeting human error, focus is often restricted to causes …

An existential-phenomenological perspective which emphasises subjectivity and the active expressive body is used to bridge the mind-body-society splits that characterise both fields.The paper briefly reviews some of the current literature in the sociology of emotions that tries to address the role of the body in emotional li…
