Snark Hunting in Canadian Law: Art and Authenticity
This reflection on the social construction of authenticity analogizes the quest for artistic authenticity to snark hunting. To illustrate the instability of this term, it employs various Canadian examples, including the “Michelangelo” terracotta sculptures donated to the Museum of Vancouver, the “Igloo tag,” the importation of a sculpture by Edward Chukwuweike Madukaego, and the work of Bill Reid. It posits that proclamations of authenticity and …
Heroes’ and victims: Incarcerated bank robbers’ accounts of victims and victimization
This qualitative article is based upon interviews conducted with 80 incarcerated bank robbers and examines how these offenders conceptualized ‘victims’ and ‘victimization’. Their accounts notably reverse conventional understandings of who is an ‘offender’ and who is a ‘victim’ by: casting ‘bank robbery’ as a ‘non-violent’ and ‘victimless’ crime; representing those who are victimized by their crimes as wannabe ‘heroes’ who are foolhardy and feckle…
Framing the picture: The Canadian print media’s construction of an atypical crime and its victims
While many have investigated media constructions of ‘newsworthy’ and ‘non-newsworthy’ crimes and their victims, the overwhelming focus of these analyses has been upon violent crime in its myriad forms. In contrast, this article examines the Canadian print media’s peculiar construction of crime, criminals, and victims in the world of art fraud from 1978 to 2012. Just as art fraud is not thought of as normal ‘crime news’ and is bracketed away elsew…
Hey Mitch-elle, you need a shave!”: The school days of hirsute adolescents
This qualitative, longitudinal study directs attention to how adolescence – a time period that is already fraught with pressures and struggles for most – may be complicated by the presence of hirsutism, a putatively “sexdiscordant” marker. Attention is directed to the school-based experiences of a non-representative sample of 67 Canadian youth and 41 adult women who shared their recollections of how hirsutism had impacted their lives as adolescen…
Reconceptualizing Dreamwork (With Apologies yo Lewis Carroll’s "Alice") as a Facet of Motherwork
While acknowledging some of the myriad ways in which the term "dreamwork" has been used by scholars over the past century, this article directs especial attention to dreamwork as both a facet of motherwork and form of anticipatory socialization. This particular conception views dreamwork as an interpersonal accomplishment and emphasizes its collaborative character. In arguing for its utility, we note how this conception of dreamwork complements i…
The Money Shot: Trash, Class, and the Making of TV Talk Shows
Halloween Costumes and Gender Markers
A content analysis of 469 children's Halloween costumes explored the extent to which children's fantasy dress reproduces and reiterates more conventional messages about gender. Based on the presence of gender markers, masculine, feminine, and gender-neutral costumes were identified and reanalyzed using a modified version of Klapp's (1962) categorization of heroes, villains, and fools. Both male and female costumes contained a high proportion of h…
