Reputation Building and the Film Art World: The Case of Alfred Hitchcock
The change in Alfred Hitchcock's reputation from popular entertainer to distinguished auteur over the last 25 years is usually attributed to the efforts of some admiring European film figures. This article traces the reevaluation of Hitchcock's work beginning in the 1960s, but emphasizes in addition to the role of sponsors, Hitchcock's own part in orchestrating the transformation. Other factors that might speed up, slow down, or undermine altoget…

Powerlessness in Racially Changing Neighborhoods
This paper assesses the relative importance of deprivation and social integration factors in accounting for neighborhood differences in subjective powerlessness. A survey of two predominantly black neighborhoods at varying levels of black population change finds that residents of the transitional neighborhood exhibit significantly lower levels of power lessness than those living in the ghetto. The evidence reported favors deprivation argu ments o…
Black Streetcorner Districts
This study traces a set of beliefs about perceived societal normlessness to types of residential areas and to the mode of interaction experienced by the person in different residential settings. Introducing the idea of a “streetcorner district,” it explores how a resident's perception of society as integrated or normless is affected by the presence of absence of streetcorner relationships in his or her neighborhood. The study is based on a second…
Residential Succession and Delinquency a Test of Shaw and M C Kay's Theory of Cultural Transmission
The impact of neighborhood cultural and institutional lye upon rates of delinquency among black male adolescents is examined. Focusing on three adjacent black neighborhoods at varying levels of black population change, this paper presents direct tests of three corollaries derived from a causal model adapted from Shaw and M c Kays cultural transmission theory of delinquency. The preliminary results are compatible with the model: the level of delin…

Black Ghetto Diversity and Anomie: A Sociopolitical View
On the basis of responses to two "anomie" scales across different black neighborhoods, this study reports findings compatible with the viewpoint that the American black urban ghettos harbor a rich variety of subculturally distinct residential areas. More specifically, it suggests that sociopolitical variables which highlight the relationship between neighborhoods and the structures of power in the city are a more important source of subcultural d…
Religion, Ethnicity, and Party Affiliation in the U.S: Evidence from Pooled Electoral Surveys, 1968-72
By analyzing a white Christian subsample of pooled national survey data collected in 1968, 1970, and 1972 (subsample's n = 4,142), we try to determine whether ethnicity has a direct effect on party identification net of parental party identification. In so doing, we raise a number of subsidiary issues: (1) how best to measure ethnicity, (2) the need to distinguish between ethnically identified and ethnically assimilated respondents, and (3) possi…
Weber, Durkheim, and the comparative method
This essay compares and contrasts the means by which Durkheim and Weber dealt with methodological issues peculiar to the comparative study of societies, what Smelser has called "the problem of sociocultural variability and complexity." More specifically, it examines how Weber and Durkheim chose appropriate comparative units for their empirical studies. The approaches that Weber and Durkheim brought to theproblem of cross-cultural comparison have …
Continuities in Delinquency and Riot Patterns in Black Residential Areas
This study suggests that riots represent a direct continuity rather than a sharp discontinuity with pre-existing social conditions. Evidence is presented that patterns of neighborhood involvement during a 1968 racial disturbance resembled prior neighborhood delinquency patterns. In two racially changing neighborhoods, the incidence of pre-riot delinquency was higher than in a more racially stable one, while during the course of the riot, the inci…
