Culturalism
Published in 1980, the Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups was part of a U.S. discourse of difference which I call “culturalism” that aimed to replace “race” with “culture” ("ethnic group"). The Encyclopedia contributed to a U.S. nation‐building project by denying that race is a powerful social classifier in the United States, removing historical contexts from social groups, reifying ethnic groups and cultures, moralizing about their d…
Ambiguity in policy discourse
Your friend, the illegal
The U.S. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) created a new legal category, "illegal immigrant eligible for amnesty." Media coverage of IRCA provides an opportunity to analyze the connections between the legal and cultural discourses in which identities are created and contested. From our analysis of media images of amnesty applicants, citizens, and illegal alines in 283 news articles, we find that journalists not only debated the ca…

Illegal Aliens" and "Opportunity
Congressional hearings are scenes for actions more diverse than either a judicial or an information-gathering model would suggest. Hearings are settings in which ideologies are put to work in talk, both as practical activity and as ritual performance. In testimony in 1975 in a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee's hearings on immigration reform, speakers drew rhetorically upon particular American mythic themes to affirm an egalitarian ideo…

Discourse and the Social Life of Meaning
The Irony of Stereotypes
Irony and Ethnography
To study one's own culture offers an anthropologist analytical opportunities, as well as pitfalls for the unsuspecting, that are not fully examined. An American analyst working in her own society not only presumably shares a language with the natives, but a common sense and a large part of a cultural system of beliefs and values. Images of the analyst as learner do not fit any better here than they do elsewhere (Karp and Kendall 1982). The analys…
The Greek-American Small Businessman
Relations among categories of occupation, social status, and "person" in American culture are examined in an analysis of data on Greek-American small business proprietors. This article builds on recent efforts in cultural analysis to explicate syntagmatic relations among explicit and implicit cultural categories. One result is the introduction of an implicational structure derived from syntagmatic analysis to refine the concept of a "conglomerate…
Ethnology
Time, Nature, and Spirit
Greek-American spiritual kinship is treated as a system of kinship symbols which contrast with the symbols of consanguineal and affinal kinship. The dimensions of this three-way contrast between spiritual, consanguineal, and affinal kinship are nature vs. spirit (or, alternatively, time vs. eternity) and birth vs. sex. Transformations of the symbols birth and love between the natural and spiritual worlds are analyzed
