Language as Obstacle and as Data in Sociological Research
The SSRC's Committee on Sociolinguistics was committed to furthering attention to language, and linguistic difference, as an "unexploited kind of sociological data" in ethnographic and survey research. The committee convened a conference in 1968 to better understand the intersection of social and linguistic factors, summarized here by Allen D. Grimshaw. The group focused on four topics: the ethnography of asking questions; the meaning of words; t…
A Social History of Racial Violence
No topic has been discussed at greater length or with more vigor than the racial confrontations of the 1960s. Events of these years left behind hundreds dead; thousands injured and arrested, property damage beyond toll, and a population both outraged and conscience stricken. A Social History of Racial Violence places the events of the 1960s into historical perspective. The book includes accounts of racial violence from different periods in Americ…

Narrating the Organization: Dramas of Institutional Identity
Investigating the intricacy of the organization, this work argues that it is necessary to gather local information about organizational life and subject it to abstract and metaphorical interpretation. Using a narrative approach, the author employs literary devices to uncover the workings of organizations. She applys cultural metaphors to public administration in Sweden to demonstrate, for example, how the dynamics of a screenplay can illuminate t…

Disambiguating Discourse: Members' Skill and Analysts' Problem
Both participants in ongoing interaction and analysts who subsequently may examine records of such are continually required to interpret the ongoing interaction, to disambiguate behaviors which are unclear both as to producer's intended at different levels and producer's interactional goals, and to adjudicate among possible interpretations of literal meaning and speaker's utterance meaning (i.e., illocutionary pointlillocutionary force). Work abo…

Greetings in the Desert1
Tuareg men must frequently travel into the wilderness of the western Sahara. The stakes are high in encounters. The desert is vast and threatening; the solitary traveler is continuously reminded of man's-and his own-insignificance. The camel is the "ship of the desert," and the sighting far off of another rider engenders tensions similar to those experienced by seafaring travelers in the days of ships of sail, viz, is the unknown stranger friend …

A Paradigm for Looking: Cross-Cultural Research with Visual Media
Based on research in two African communities, this volume presents a new methodology for examining visual media--one that suggests a phenomenology of filmmaking and an ethnography of mediated communication. Comprehensively developed and discusses, this methodology can be used for analysis of any informant-made visual communication
Sound-Image Data Records for Research on Social Interaction: Some Questions and Answers
Advances in film and video technology in recent years have made in increasingly feasible for students of social interaction to record, for fine-grained analyses, sound-image records (SIR). Such records have two principal advantages: density and permanence. Optimal data continues to require that investigators attend to ethnographic grounding and other criteria of data adequacy. The questions of what constitutes naturally occurring interaction and …
Urban Racial Violence in the United States Changing Ecological Considerations
During the period of "classic" race-rioting in the United States, the character of violence reflected the social and demographic characteristics of individuals who inhabited specific locales in the city. In overt radical conflict in the post-World War II period, a new pattern has developed: participants with varying social and demographic attributes have been drawn to specific focal points where they give expression to a new militancy. This chang…
Comprehensive discourse analysis: An instance of professional peer interaction
While studies of written text continue to engage students from a number disciplines, investigations of naturally occurring talk have increased exponentially in the last decade. This paper reports on such an investigation, comprehensive discourse analysis of talk among professional peers (in a doctoral dissertation defense), attending to an instance of problematic communication and to some possible implications and interpretations of such nonsucce…

Interpreting Collective Violence: An Argument for the Importance of Social Structure
The collective violence of the last decade has been accompanied by a marked increase in scholarly attention to social violence; a marked decline in a previously dominant a-historicism; an increase in borrowing across disciplines in theoretical interpretations. This paper focuses on two of many available explanatory perspectives: that focusing on the individual and that associated primarily with sociology. Psy choanalysts look for violence-pronene…

Rules, Social Interaction, and Language Behavior
Social rules are manifested in different social groups in a diversity of ways. Important universals, however, make behavior in such social relationships predictable and interpretable in all societies, that is, social interaction is rule-governed. The rules of request behavior, and variables constraining those rules, exemplify an analysis of social behavior. A universal grammar of social interaction is postulated, with current work in anthropology…

Politically Speaking: Cross-Cultural Studies of Rhetoric
Selection and labeling of instrumentalities of verbal manipulation∗
Human social actors spend much of their time with other actors engaged either in attempting to manipulate those others into doing things for them—or in themselves being objects of such manipulation. While studies have been made of, e.g., compliance and persuasion, little attention has been paid to the verbal behaviors involved in manipulative acts in social interaction (or to labels of those behaviors). This paper constitutes a beginning step tow…

Social scientists have long been aware of the risks in attempt ing to find out things from people simply by asking them. There is some question whether most past attempts to resolve problems i…

Whose Privacy? What Harm
There are risks to individuals whose behaviors are recorded for use in social research; the risks are ordinarily less than those to subjects of biomedical research or even some behavioral experiments-and are phenomenally similar to those faced in all interaction. Unwarranted inferences about groups or categories of people based on examination of SIR constitute a potentially greater but less specifiable danger. The calculation of risks and benefit…

The Anglo-Indian community of India is one of several hybrid Eurasian populations which have found themselves in precarious social positions in some of the newly independent Asian nations. Eurasian populations originated in early periods of colonial domination when European women were scarce, and grew over the years through natural increase and occasional mixed contacts. Their original size relative to the indigenous populations and policies of b…

Specification of Boundaries of Constructed Types through Use of the Pattern Variable
Dr. Marvin Bressler, of New York University, has encouraged me in worrying about the problem attacked in the following pages since 1955. His critical comments and suggestions and those of Drs. Albert K. Cohen and Sheldon Stryker, of Indiana University, have been most helpful in bringing to this paper whatever clarity it may have. Lapses still remaining result from my stubbornness and not from any lack of critical acumen on their parts. shorter ve…
The influence of social values on public policy determination
ysis of values which influence public policy decision-making at two levels of government-international and metropolitan. The immediate object of the study is to test the applicability of different methods of behavioral analysis to the study of this problem. The ultimate purpose is to develop better understanding of the factors which impede or contribute toward effective cooperation among relatively autonomous governmental units in the solution of…
