Setting All the Captives Free is by no means a narrow study of captivity. Rather, Steele places captives “at the center” of a broader narrative of the Seven Years’ War in America usually driven by battles, sieges, diplomacy, and influential leaders (3). As his title suggests, Steele investigates literally all the…

Rationalist and cognitive theories of the social actor account for change experienced by members in the process of spiritual conversion-commitment in terms of learning a role and/or a new symbolic universe. An alternative and complementary view of conversion-commitment processes can be developed by taking ritual practice as a mechanism whereby personal transformation is affected non-cognitively. Meditational rituals at the core of many new religi…

Becker's analysis of the learning involved in becoming a marijuana user is applied to the case of the person beginning Zen me…

Alternative approaches to the social are then investigated with particular attention being paid to phenomenology and ethnomethodology. Within this framework some implications are drawn for the future of sociology in Australia and New Zealand
