Collective Joy: The Spirituality of the Community Big Band Wonderbrass
Wonderbrass is a community music band that performs professionally. This article-written by three members of the band-uses collaborative/conversational autoethnography to explore the significance of the band through the lens of spirituality. After a brief overview of the history and ethos of the band, the autoethnographic methodology is discussed with particular attention to its significance for the investigation of music and spirituality. The re…
Evaluating the imitation game as a method for comparative research: A replication study using imitation games about religion
The Imitation Game is a new method and, as such, it is important to show that its results are plausible and replicable. We tested this by conducting Imitation Games on religion in a range of European countries, returning approximately 12 months later to repeat the research. The idea was that non-Christian members of strongly Christian countries would find it easy to pass as members of the practicing majority because Christian beliefs and practice…
Groups and individuals: Conformity and Diversity in the Performance of Gendered Identities
The nature and role of social groups is a central tension in sociology. On the one hand, the idea of a group enables sociologists to locate and describe individuals in terms of characteristics that are shared with others. On the other, emphasizing the fluidity of categories such as gender or ethnicity undermines their legitimacy as ways of classifying people and, by extension, the legitimacy of categorization as a goal of sociological research. I…
Um, er: How Meaning Varies Between Speech and Its Typed Transcript
We report a small empirical study on the way the transcription used to represent speech affects its meaning. We show that 'disfluencies' in speech indicate far more uncertainty in the speaker when transmitted in text than when transmitted in recorded sound. This has important implications for how transcribed interviews should be edited when they are being used to convey meaning rather than the organization of phonemes. We propose the implications…
Introduction: De/humanization and critical realism
This short paper introduces the special issue of the Journal of Critical Realism on de/humanisation and critical realism. It discusses the significance of studying contemporary processes of dehumanisation as well as attempts to reorganise groups, organisations and societies. It provides a sketchy summary of the contributions to the special issue by Douglas Porpora, Peter Kahn, LAkshman Vimalasena, Hans Despain, Harvey Shoolmann and Alan Norrie
How can the loggerhead sea-turtle survive? Exploring the journeys of the Caretta caretta using ANT and critical realism
The endangered loggerhead sea-turtle ( Caretta caretta) nests on the shores of the Mediterranean, but faces threats to its existence from a variety of sources. Answering the question of how this species can survive is complex as it involves examining the relationships between the turtle, its natural environment, local tourists, property developers, conservation organisations, governments and law-makers. We argue that actor-network theory provides…
