  • Real Life in Real Time

    Open AccessJohn Brewer, Bonnie Ruberg et al.BOOKReal Life in Real Time2023

    The cultural ramifications of online live streaming, including its effects on identity and power in digital spaces. Some consider live streaming—the broadcasting of video and/or audio footage live online—simply an internet fad or source of entertainment, yet it is at the center of the digital mediation of our lives. In this edited volume, Johanna Brewer, Bo Ruberg, Amanda L. L. Cullen, and Christopher J. Persaud present a broad range of essays th…

    This article serves as the guest editors’ introduction to the Television and New Media special issue dedicated to gender and sexuality in live streaming. Live streaming is a key part of the contemporary digital media landscape; it sits at the center of wide-reaching shifts in how culture, entertainment, and labor are expressed and experienced online today.

  • Visitors’ books and travel narratives

    John Brewer, John C BrewerARTICLEStudies in Travel Writing2021

    This article focuses on a surviving visitors’ book that covers the years 1826–1828, kept at the Hermitage on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. The article sets out both its value and limitations as a historical source, contrasting it with the more fully developed personal narrative typical of travel literature, and argues that its (and other visitors’ books) supposed limitations (their anecdotal and fragmentary character) may also be a strength. Such…

  • Visiting Vesuvius

    John Brewer, John D BrewerARTICLEThe Journal of Modern History2021Referências: 1

    This article examines the activities of guides on the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They worked in a double capacity—as aids to savants seeking to unlock the scientific secrets of the volcano and as the creators of a tourist infrastructure that helped visitors enjoy the sublime experience of a steadily erupting volcano. The essay examines their contribution to scientific knowledge of the volcano and their…

    Open AccessJohn Brewer, John D BrewerCHAPTERPalgrave Handbook of Sociology in…2014

    Scotland may well be a nation in waiting but the greatest contribution it has made to the history and development of social science in Britain occurred just after its loss of nationhood in the 1707 Act of Union between England and Scotland, and, as we shall discuss, was not unrelated to it, and this intellectual effervescence in the eighteenth century, known as the Scottish Enlightenment, first began with an Irishman, Francis Hutcheson (1694–1746…

  • Society as a Vocation

    Open AccessJohn Brewer, John D BrewerARTICLEIrish Journal of Sociology2014

    The twentieth century witnessed the professionalisation of social science by making science its vocation. The twenty-first century must see social science become normative, with society its vocation. The paradox of neoliberalism is that its attack on the public university has forced social science to advance its public value and the grounds on which it is a public good in its own right, the outcome of which is that we must shift from science to s…

  • Between Distance and Sympathy

    Open AccessJohn BrewerARTICLEModern Intellectual History2014Citada por: 1Referências: 1

    Dr John Moore's four-volume account of his Grand Tour in the company of the Duke of Hamilton was one of the most successful European travel books of the late eighteenth century. Moore's text, I argue, is a philosophical travel narrative, an examination of manners, customs and characters, analogous to the philosophical histories of the Scottish Enlightenment. Intended as a critique of the superficial observations of much travel literature, it argu…

  • Post-conflict societies and the social sciences

    John Brewer, John D Brewer et al.ARTICLEContemporary Social Science2011

    This paper serves as the Editorial Introduction that heads the special issue on post-conflict societies in the social sciences and it reviews the growing literature on this topic. The field offers an interdisciplinary space not just for the various social sciences to interface, but for social science to encounter theology, philosophy and ethics. The field can be divided into three themes: the management of post-conflict emotions; transitional jus…

  • Microhistory and the Histories of Everyday Life

    John Brewer, John D BrewerARTICLECultural and Social History2010Citada por: 47Referências: 8

    This article examines microhistories and the histories of the everyday both in the context of developments in social and cultural history since the 1960s, and in the light of political and social change in post-war European society. Moving beyond debates about historical narrative, it emphasizes issues of perspective, space, size and historical distance in shaping historical interpretation. This historiographical trend, it argues, emanates from t…

  • Information as a cultural category

    Open AccessPaul Dourish, John Brewer et al.ARTICLEinteractions2005

    One of the questions that invariably comes up when discussing ambient intelligence is the thorny problem of just what the term might mean. It’s catchy and provocative, but attempts to define it tend to be unsatisfying. Sometimes, of course, a slogan of this sort can productively inspire without necessarily being crisply defined, and so it is with “ambient intelligence. ” However, it is still worth taking the question of meaning seriously. Our con…

  • Sexuality in the Church

    Open AccessJohn Brewer, John D BrewerARTICLESociological Research Online2003Referências: 15

    Sexuality is an obsession of the Christian Church. It is one of the social behaviours that it has tried most to control amongst its flock and yet the Christian Church has failed to prevent the encroachment of modern attitudes towards sex and sexuality into the Church as an institution. The furore over the proposed appointment of an openly gay bishop in the Church of England is but the latest expression of this tension. However, this paper argues …

    Rejecting the artificial dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative research strategies in the social and behavioral sciences, Isadore Newman and Carolyn R. Benz argue that the two approaches are neither mutually exclusive nor interchangeable; rather, the actual relationship between the two paradigms is one of isolated events on a of scientific inquiry. Through graphic and narrative descriptions, Newman and Benz show research to be a holistic…

  • The pleasures of the imagination

    John BrewerBOOKThe pleasures of the imagination1997

    John Brewer's landmark book shows us how English artists, amateurs, entrepreneurs, and audiences developed a culture that is still celebrated for its wit and brilliance. Brewer's purpose is to show how literature, painting, music, and the theater related to a public increasingly avid for them; how artists used, or were used by, publishers, plagiarists, impresarios, and managers; and how contemporary ideas of taste combined with patriotic fervor a…
