The Uniquely Religious: Grounding the Social Scientific Study of Religion Anew
The dominance of the classical paradigm in the social scientific study of religion has been undermined by the increasing capacity of secular agents and interpretations to fulfill the functions the “masters” assigned the sacred. An alternative is offered in which the uniqueness of religious faith is seen to lie in its grounding in awesome apprehensions of the “trustability” of existence which transcend highly salient experiences of finitude (affir…

Myths, Models and Paradigms: A Comparative Study in Science and Religion
Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors: Symbolic Action in Human Society
In this book, Victor Turner is concerned with various kinds of social actions and how they relate to, and come to acquire meaning through, metaphors and paradigms in their actors' minds; how in certain circumstances new forms, new metaphors, new paradigms are generated. To describe and clarify these processes, he ranges widely in history and geography: from ancient society through the medieval period to modern revolutions, and over India, Africa,…

Moral Man and Immoral Academy: Leaves from the Notebook of a Tamed Cynic
Weeding through a file drawer other day I ran across something I'd written in halcyon days of my academic adolescence when I was young and tenured. It was, I flinched at recalling, a challenge flung in faces of my peers in academy to view nature of our professional role as an opportunity to witness in and out of classroom to our existential commitments. It announced, among other things, that academy possessed the freedom to encourage its facultie…

Evaluating Compensatory Education: A Case Study
This analysis has attempted to assess the impact of a long-range compensatory education program in Newark, New Jersey. Using an array of data from a five-year period and a variety of statistical devices, the authors have found no observable gains in reading level, school attendance, or IQ scores as the result of a five-year analysis of the Newark-Victoria Plan. The experimental subjects who were exposed to the extensive academic programs show lit…

of individual performances may undermine or fail to maintain the system. These larger consequences of individual role bargains can be traced out, but they figure only rarely in the individual role decision. With respect to its utility in empirical research, this conception permits a more adequate delineation of social structures by focussing on their more observable elements, the role transactions. This permits such questions as: Would you increa…

Sociological Paradigms: Analogies of Teleology, Apocalypse and Prophecy
Following Thomas Kuhn's conception of the periodic revolutions that interrupt the normal accretive growth of a science, an analogy is drawn between the typology of theological postures (“teleology,” “apocalypse,” and “prophecy”) offered by Harvey Cox and paradigms central to an understanding of the crisis confronting contemporary sociology . Correlated with the teleological stance is the “system” image that stood as sociologically orthodox throug…
