Pilgrim Apparition Work: Symbolization and Crowd Interaction when the Virgin Mary Appeared in Georgia
Research on religious apparitions tends to focus on characteristics of the participants, needs of the believers, functions of the events, and biographies of the leaders. In contrast, this article focuses on group interaction and participant interpretations. The authors analyze what took place, and what pilgrims thought and felt, during a recurring apparition of the Virgin Mary during the 1990s on a farm near the U.S. town of Conyers, Georgia. Ana…
Missed Connections: Hard of Hearing in a Hearing World
Exploring the links between gambling, problem gambling, and self-esteem
Despite the recent rapid expansion of legal gambling, little is known about gamblers or problem gamblers in the United States. In this article, we seek to extend our understanding of gambling in the United States by reviewing the major theoretical approaches to problem gambling and tracing the development of the major instrument used to measure problem gambling. Using a probability sample of 1,551 Georgia citizens interviewed in 1994, we present …

Sexual identity and HIV: The male prostitute
We examined the relationships among sexual self‐identity, sexual and drug use behaviors, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among a sample of 224 male street prostitutes. Structured interviews were administered, and blood samples were collected and tested for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B. The sample included 17.9% homosexual, 46.4% heterosexual, and 35.7% bisexually identified men. Congruence between the prostitutes’ non‐paid sexu…

Male transvestite prostitutes and HIV risk
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, syphilis, and hepatitis B prevalence and associated risk factors were assessed among male transvestite prostitutes. Structured street-level interviews were conducted with 53 respondents in Atlanta, Ga, from July 1990 through July 1991. Test results from serum samples revealed that 68% were seropositive for HIV-1, 81% had seromarkers for syphilis, and 80% had seromarkers for hepatitis B. Univariate logistic re…

Chain letters: Players and their accounts
Even though it is unlawful to send chain letters through the mails, thousands of Americans send them to friends, acquaintances, and strangers in hopes that their names will move to the top of the pyramid, and they will receive the influx of tax‐free dollars from those at the bottom of the chain. This paper analyzes the content and structure of the chain letter and also describes the accounts which chain letter players (N=129) provide for their pa…
Typical Girls? Young Women from School to the Job Market
The Transformation of Sexual Harassment from a Private Trouble into a Public Issue
Sexual harassment, i.e., unwanted sexual attention, is not a new phenomenon for working women. Yet only in recent years have the behaviors constituting it been challenged and recognized as detrimental to society. This paper documents the process by which sexual harassment emerged on the public agenda. It identifies the major elements-media attention, activities of interest groups, court actions, and legislation-involved in the process of redefini…
Ladies: South by Northwest
The lady represented the ideal image for most nineteenth‐century American women, even those who pioneered the American frontier. The Southern lady, however, has always been considered the particular embodiment of that image. Since the advent of women's liberation and the large‐scale movement of women into the labor force, one might well question the salience of the lady as role model for contemporary women. Do modern women still want to be ladies…

Wasp (Wives as Senior Partners)
Using exchange and interactionist perspectives, this research explores a previously ignored contemporary marriage pattern: Wives as Senior Partners. WASP marriages are those in which marriage and family life are organized around the wife's job or career rather than the husband's. We found that there are three social conditions concurrent with WASP marriages: wives having traditionally male jobs, flexibility of husbands' jobs, and absence of child…

False pretense and deviant exploitation: Fortunetelling as a con
This paper presents a dramaturgical analysis of the backstage manipulations carried out by practitioners of the deviant occupation known as fortunetelling. It is generally believed that con games require a dishonest victim, although many practitioners manipulate their impressions with clients who are seeking a service rather than a profit. The group of fortunetellers included in this study are nonbelievers and hence fundamentally misrepresent the…

Legal and Extra-Legal Methods of Controlling Female Prostitution: A Cross-Cultural Comparison
From a cross cultural perspective this paper describes some of the legal and extra-legal strategies used to cope with a variety of practical problems associated with commercial prostitution, i.e., police-payoffs, venereal disease, pimping. Those strategies which appear to be most effective are identified with a view toward suggesting how some of these could be implemented
