Cultural Discrepancies in Interaction
Drawing on Goffman’s frame analysis, we utilize the encounter between two relatively foreign cultural worlds, the ultra-Orthodox Jewish (haredi) perspective and Western popular psychology, to examine how actors manage cultural discrepancies in situ. Based on an ethnographic study of an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) training course for haredi men in Israel, we highlight the interactive dimension of framing processes in cultural diffusion, sho…
The Freest Country
In a letter to his friend, the Cambridge don Charles Mason, the Reverend William Smith, a Church of England minister on the island of Nevis, described a recreational outing which took place ‘in the Month of July, 1719’, at which time ‘Mr Moses Pinheiro a Jew and myself, went to angle in Black Rock Pond’, a body of water ‘situate[d] a quarter of a mile or better Northwards from Charles Town our Metropolis or Capital, and about thirty yards distant…
Property Rights Under Administrator-Dictators
The dictatorial Dominion of New England (1686-1689) saw the rise and fall of the first operational bank scheme in America. Both events resulted from the appointed rulers' attempts to personally profit from real estate, subject to an absolutist constitution imposed by England. The first,localruler led a nominally private land bank. The subsequent,foreignruler invalidated all land titles and thus killed the bank. This unusual case study exemplifies…
Why was America's First Bank Aborted
In 1686 the leadership of Massachusetts became involved in the first operational bank scheme in America. In 1688 this note-issuing bank was mysteriously aborted at an advanced stage. I suggest a new, simple explanation for the bank's demise. The bank's notes were supposed to be backed mostly by private land in Massachusetts, but a new royal governor invalidated all the land titles. This episode demonstrates the importance of clearly defined and e…
The Massachusetts Paper Money of 1690
Modern currency originates in the inconvertible, legal tender paper money that Massachusetts devised in 1690. The circumstances that led to its creation are more complex than the typical story of wartime specie shortage. Due to temporary political constraints of that turbulent period, the currency could be neither backed by land nor imposed on anyone, as was then standard. Instead, it had to be disguised from England as a simple, private-seeming …
