TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop modes of analysis for three major issues in the study of trade unions as organizations: their distinctiveness as a discrete type of organization, the nature of their membership attachment, and their twin rationales of representation and administration.
Abstract: This paper develops modes of analysis for three major issues in the study of trade unions as organizations. These are, first, their distinctiveness as a discrete type of organization; secondly, the nature of their membership attachment; and thirdly, their twin rationales of representation and administration. The integration of these analyses within a new framework is then pursued. This framework serves to suggest propositions requiring empirical investigation and reference is made to some results from a preliminary study.

TL;DR: This article examined the competences and policies commonly adopted to provide for the contexting of talk as interview talk, and examined the competence of these policies in the context of selection interviews, in order to claim a correspondence between their accounts and some external reality.
Abstract: Recent attempts to develop symbolic interactionist methodologies have sought to treat the interview as an object of sociological enquiry as well as a research instrument. But their accounts in terms of interactional rules and presentation of selves are primarily concerned with reactions to interviews, and the display of the interview setting in talk is treated as a resource rather than as a topic for investigation. Since such a reliance on the availability of phenomena is also a feature of the `natural attitude', lay and sociological usages of the interview share striking similarities. More specifically, both employ the documentary method of interpretation and, in order to claim a correspondence between their accounts and some external reality, use remedies to counter misunderstandings. On the basis of tapes of selection interviews, the paper examines the competences and policies routinely adopted to provide for the contexting of talk as interview talk. Given that talk serves to display its setting (this ...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors challenge the type of interpretation of the successful political incorporation of the British working class in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which stresses normative factors such as "deference", craving for respectability, bourgeoisification, religious feelings etc".
Abstract: This paper challenges the type of interpretation of the successful political incorporation of the British working class in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which stresses normative factors—'deference', craving for respectability, bourgeoisification, religious feelings etc. It corrects misleading statements in some of these accounts and uses historical evidence to stress the importance of objective, structural constraints on working class ability to mobilize on a class basis in the political system prior to 1918. Following this interpretation some points are made about the British political culture on theoretical grounds stemming from Durkheim.

TL;DR: In this paper, a causal model for the analysis of churches is developed, which postulates the primacy of belief systems in determining the operational goals of churches, their subsequent membership, size and resource position, and their organization structure.
Abstract: From recent work on formal organization structure, in particular that of the `Aston school', a causal model for the analysis of churches is developed. This postulates the primacy of belief systems in determining the operational goals of churches, their subsequent membership, size and resource position, and consequential upon this, their organization structure. It is pointed out that a model developed from the sociology of organizations, rather than from the sociology of religion, would lay less stress on beliefs and more on resources.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative approach to the analysis of members' speech practices is proposed wherein the theorist investigates members' methods for resolving the indexical properties of communicative interaction, and treats ''rules' and other order-assembly devices as elements of practical reasoning.
Abstract: This paper attempts to examine what is involved when language is treated as a phenomenon of theoretic concern for the sociologist. The approach to `meaning' suggested by Wittgenstein is outlined and counterposed to formalized representations of the `semantics' of natural languages. The critical issue of `rules of correct use' of language symbols is discussed, and some theoretical problems in describing `linguistic competence' are raised. Some of these problems are located also in a sociological domain where cultural grammars are theoretical goals of research. It is suggested that since linguistic knowledge is practical knowledge, codifications of it in rule-like form can only be for practical purposes. An alternative approach to the analysis of members' speech practices is proposed wherein the theorist investigates members' methods for resolving the indexical properties of communicative interaction, and treats `rules' and other order-assembly devices as elements of practical reasoning.
