Conferencing, Crisis, and the Profession
This introduction frames the goal of the special issue: to rethink conferencing as a means of navigating challenges in Victorian studies and the profession more broadly. The precipitating event was EVENT 2024, a multisite, reduced-flight, and digitally interconnected conference involving five scholarly associations over the 2024 calendar year. Here, we, the three lead organisers, open by describing the conference and the two halves of this specia…
Defensive localism in white and black
The activities of European-American and African-American youth gangs have been closely linked to the operation of changing racial and class structures. In this article, I compare European-American and African-American youth gangs in four historical periods: the seaboard city, 1787-1861; the immigrant city, 1880-1940; the racially changing city, 1940-1970; and the hypersegregated city, 1970-1999. I show that the differences between European-Americ…
Tribute, Turf, Honor and the American Street Gang
American street gangs have always been committed to the defense of turf and the attainment of honor. Street gangs have, however, changed markedly with respect to their goals, their age and racial composition, their relationship to the wider political, economic and cultural environment, their commitment to delinquency and their level of violence. These changes have resulted from immigration, population movement, economic transformations, racial an…
Existential and Clinical Uncertainty in the Medical Encounter
Uncertainty has been a central theme in the sociology of medicine. Scholars have focused on the existential uncertainty which is an aspect of the illness experience, and on the clinical uncertainty which marks the diagnosis and treatment of disease. However, there are few intensive examinations of how existential and clinical forms of uncertainty mutually affect each other. This essay draws on a personal experience of illness with inflammatory bo…
God's Continent Divided
Following the American Revolution, the social foundation supporting a settled ministry and sustaining the Old World tradition of an established state church began to crumble, prompting Alexis de Tocqueville to observe that in the United States, 'the ideas of Christianity and liberty are so completely intermingled that it is almost impossible to conceive of the one without the other.' Large numbers of ordinary Americans who had internalized egalit…
Prisoners of Isolation
Toward a Marxian Penology
This paper analyzes penology in the United States during the 19th century in terms of the business cycle and labor supply. A systematic theory of the economic functions of imprisonment can be constructed with reference to the interaction between the crime- and class-control strategies of prison reformers, prison administrators, and government officials, and their financial and industrial goals. I develop a theoretical model which links variations…
