Identity Ambivalence in Clothing: The Dialectic of the Erotic and the Chaste
This chapter talks about how we make determinations as to the sustainability of aviation and the initiatives that aviation undertakes to improve its sustainability. Most notably, we want to know how we would assess the sustainability of the processes that would provide new sources of flight energy, designed to reduce aviation&s;s carbon burden. Imagine, for example, how difficult it would be to convince the flying public that commercial aviation …

Popular Culture: The Metropolitan Experience
Iain Chambers approaches the often overlooked details and textures of popular culture through a series of histories which show how it becomes continually remade as each of us defines our own urban space

Beyond medicalisation-demedicalisation: The Case of Holistic Health
Discourse relating to the dual processes of medicalisation and demedicalisation has become deeply embedded in the sociological literature and increasingly in the cultural fabric itself. This paper highlights several contradictory dimensions and discrepancies inherent in those notions of medicalisation and demedicalisation. Three key components of the conceptualisations of medicalisation are separated out for examination: the locus of causality, t…

Herbert Blumer and the Study of Fashion: A Reminiscence and A Critique
Recounting my late 1940s graduate student contacts with Herbert Blumer on the topic of fashion, 1 go on to assess his important contribution to the sociological study of fashion. Conceptually rich, the corpus of Blumer's writing on fashion is yet surprisingly small. His major opus on fashion, anticipated only in part by several of his earlier, less exhaustive writings on the subject, did not see print until 1969 with the publication of the justly…

The Cabdriver and His Fare: Facets of a Fleeting Relationship
The relationship between the big-city cabdriver and his fare is random, fleeting, unrenewable, and devoid of socially integrative features conducive to constraint. A regulative imbalance can be said to exist which, among its other consequences, is expressed in the preoccupation with the vagaries of tipping. So extreme a relationship suggests the extent to which practitioner-client controls in other fields of service depend for their effectiveness…

Uncertainty in Medical Prognosis Clinical and Functional
What passes for diagnostic and prognostic uncertainty in communication between doctor and patient is not always or wholly a function of medicine's level of scientific and clinical knowledge. This became evident in a study of what parents of children with poliomyelitis were and were not told by the hospital's treatment staff concerning the amount of residual handicapping to be expected. While the staff became increasingly certain in their prognosi…

Crime News in Colorado Newspapers
The amount of crime news in each of four Colorado newspapers varies independently of both the amount of crime in the state and the amount of crime news in the other newspapers. The data lend some support to the hypothesis that public opinion about crime trends reflects trends in the amount of crime news rather than in actual crime rates, but some of the evidence is inconclusive and some seems to contradict this hypothesis

Definitions of Time and Recovery in Paralytic Polio Convalescence
In addition to the manifestation of pathological body symptoms and processes, the course of a disease is marked by significant changes in the perspectives of the victim and his family. Communications of hospital personnel on the problems of prognostic uncertainty and the gradient structuring of the physiotherapeutic regime had the effect of lengthening the recovery-time perspective of child polio cases and their parents and altering their concept…
