The Taste for Images
Two families, many stories and the value of autobiography
This article is based on many enjoyable conversations with David Morgan over the years, on the topic of our own lived experiences of ‘family’. In order to consider them more systematically, we each wrote an autobiographical account of our experiences up to the age of eighteen, and began to compare them sociologically. When David died in June 2020 the project was by no means finished but he had left a preliminary paper, largely in note form, which…
Family practices in time and space
This article considers the origins and some of the key features of the ‘family practices’ approach. This approach emphasises activities, the routine and the everyday and the fluid nature of the concept. fluidity. This approach is presented through exploring issues of space and time in relation to everyday family life. This discussion highlights some affinities between this work and the work of some feminist geographers and argues for more exchang…
Family Troubles, Troubling Families, and Family Practices
What does it mean to talk of family problems as opposed to individual problems? The use of the word clearly reminds the reader of the relational character of everyday troubles and, more than this, raises particular issues of dependency, mutuality, and obligations. My approach in terms of 'family practices' highlights the ways in which everyday actions and reactions continually constitute family life, while the introduction of the term troubling f…
Politinis išsivadavimas ir 'jautrusis subjektas
The purpose of this paper is to tentatively explore the plausibility of the application of aspects of Lacanian psychoanalytic theory (and practice) to the purposes of Leftist political discourse. We live in an era when the forces of conservative political reaction are increasingly coming to the fore across Western democracies. In many Western states the reactionary right is in the ascendency: while the Left seems largely mired in political disarr…

Rethinking Family Practices
Leading family sociologist David Morgan revisits his highly influential 'family practices' approach in this new book. Exploring its impact, and how it has been critiqued, Morgan shows the continued re
The look of sympathy
Religions are powerful communities of feeling, compelling ways of experiencing connections with others. As such, they structure human relations in patterns that rely on media and the arts to accomplish significant cultural work such as nurture children, disseminate information, and order forms of association by arousing and managing common sentiments. A textual and visual discourse in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe and North America co…

Marriage
Dictionary definitions of marriage usually begin with something like “the legal union of a man and a woman in order to live together and often to have children.” Even in such a simple and limited definition, some key elements and some potential complexities are highlighted. First, we are dealing with a definition referring to legal criteria. However, since legal definitions differ, we can reasonably expect practices and understandings of marriage…
Revisiting the Generalized Other
In examining transcripts of inter views conducted as par t of an investigation of the process of leaving the parental home, we were frequently reminded of Mead's idea of 'the generalized other'. This ar ticle explores the usefulness of this somewhat neglected idea. After examining the possible range of meanings suggested by this idea and affinities with other concepts (especially Bourdieu's notion of 'habitus') we develop this idea through the us…

New York : Routledge xxvii +180pp £21.99 (pb) ISBN 0-415-37074-4 I found this book, the most recent that Victor Seidler has written on issues of men and masculinity, a frustrating read. On the one hand, it contains some interesting and unfamiliar material and some important arguments. Seidler seeks to sustain a critique of universalistic, rationalistic m…

Revisiting 'Communities in Britain
In this article I re-examine Frankenberg's Communities in Britain (1966) and his use of a 'morphological continuum' within his analysis. This analysis is itself a reassessment of some influential community studies conducted within the British Isles. I look at some particular ideas within the more theoretical part of this book, especially the ideas of 'social redundancy' and the distinction between 'complex' and 'complicated'. I then consider some…

Sociological Imaginings and Imagining Sociology
This paper seeks to explore sociology as an imaginative pursuit. After a brief reconsideration of Mills's notion of `the sociological imagination' I examine three areas illustrating the various imaginations within the discipline: the work of Robert K. Merton; ethnomethodology; and the diversities of feminist scholarship. Two particular case studies are explored: the sociology of the body and the use of auto/biographical studies in sociology. I co…

Family Theory and Research in Great Britain
This paper argues that the development of family research and theory in Great Britain has been strengthened by the fluidity of boundaries between various disciplines and methodolo- gies employed in the explanation of family life. Indeed, changes in the definition of family have been at the heart of the diversity and fluidity characteristic of the study of family. Studies of economic issues, gender and class distinctions, and family processes have…

Gendering Organizational Change
In this paper we argue for the need to develop a gendered understanding of processes of organizational change. However, this should not simply be seen as a question of the proportions of women and men at different levels in the hierarchy. Organizational culture and the gendered metaphors and rhetorics that are used within the organization are also shown to be significant. Our analysis focuses upon a single case, a historical and sociological stud…

The curriculum vitae has become a central feature of modem academic life. It can be understood as a form of autobiographical practice, one centrally involved with the construction and presentation of a self in a particular occupational context.

Power in Britain
Autonomy and Negotiation in an Industrial Setting
The sociology of work has continued to interest itself in behavior which appears to depart from what might be expected. Recognizing the difficulties involved in the use of the older term "informal behavior," the paper examines two concepts which have been developed in order to analyze these practices: Katz's notion of autonomy and the concept of negotiation developed by Strauss and his associates. The potential usefulness of these concepts taken …
