  • Seeing Agnes

    Open AccessJodi O’brien, Jodi O'BrienARTICLESymbolic Interaction2016Cited by: 3References: 22

    In this article, I revisit Harold Garfinkel's classic ethnomethodological account of Agnes, a transgender woman he met in the 1950s. I situate this case in its larger historical context, within the arc of a contemporary transgender studies, and incorporate recent material from bio‐neuro‐cultural studies of gender and sexuality. Within this framework I ask: what can ethnomethodology learn from transgender studies and what can it contribute

    Clashes of Christianity and sexuality have been front page news contenders for the past several months.

In one extreme case, a Denver Bishop has proclaimed that Catholics who vote for politicians who…

    Current research, science fiction, and wishful thinking suggest that cyberspace will be a realm in which physical markers such as sex, race, age, body type, and size will eventually lose their salience as a basis for the categorization of self/other. Because these features are not obviously discernible in cyberspace, the logic runs, they will cease to be a primary means of structuring interaction. Here is a typically hopeful expression of the pot…
