TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe resistance as a "rituals of resistance" and describe the role of the class clown as a meta-commentator who is able to resist the classroom instruction by penetrating in an often sarcastic fashion the formal and tacit axioms of propriety.
Abstract: Resistance is described as oppositional behavior enacted as a dynamic cultural form which the author terms “rituals of resistance.” Describing resistance as a ritual mode helps to underscore the symbolic and ideological dimensions of student behavior. Drawing upon recent field work in a Catholic junior high school in Toronto, Ontario, the author focuses on the ritualized behavior of the “class clown.” The clown functions in the capacity of a meta-commentator who is able to resist the classroom instruction by penetrating in an often sarcastic fashion the formal and tacit axioms of propriety that help to sustain order and control during classroom lessons. The author concludes his paper by calling upon resistance theorists to strive for more conceptual precision in their articulation of the symbolic dimension of transgressive student behavior by utilizing a more multidisciplinary approach.

TL;DR: Sibley as mentioned in this paper argued that a science without theory is only a method, and then outlined the training necessary for so great a change in outlook, and pointed out that sociology needs to have a clearer aim than it does at present.
Abstract: A critique of graduate education in sociology and an evaluation of its shortcomings. Mr. Sibley acknowledges the main and often opposing trends in the field, and calls for mutual recognition and understanding. He also remarks that the study of sociology needs to have a clearer aim than it does at present. He claims that a science without theory is only a method, and then outlines the training necessary for so great a change in outlook.

TL;DR: The masses may concede that someone has talent where he has displayed a certain industry and fortune has not been unkind to him; but if he tries to enter another field and diversify his abilities, he appears to damage the claim he once had on public opinion, and therefore his efforts in a new realm are seldom accepted with favor and good will as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have criticised the use of their book as a launching platform for Robert Marks's own agenda, arguing that he has used it, to an extent, as a launch platform for his own agenda.
Abstract: I welcome the opportunity to comment on some of the issues Robert Marks raises in his article. In devoting much of his critique of my book not to what the book says but to what it does not say-a &dquo;silence,&dquo; in his terminology-I feel that he has used it, to an extent, as a launching platform for his own agenda. Considering that one of my hopes in writing the book was to generate discussion about the China field and that I never expected everyone to agree with all of my views-or accept all of my assumptions-I cannot really complain. I do, however, object to some of Marks’s formulations of my ideas, which too often are presented in amputated fashion, out of context, with consequent distortion and misrepresentation. And, while I agree that the issue of &dquo;enclosure&dquo; that he raises in his essay is a potentially important one, I feel that the

01 Jan 1985TL;DR: In this paper, four styles of historical investigation are identified: realistic, formal, expressive, and pragmatic, for the philosophical assumptions of the historian, the methods employed, criteria for judgment, and examples of the style in the literature of art education.
Abstract: This paper is an analysis of historical inquiry. Four styles of historical investigation are identified: realistic, formal, expressive, and pragmatic. Each style is considered for the philosophical assumptions of the historian, the methods employed, criteria for judgment, and examples of the style in the literature of art education. Some conclusions are reached regarding contributions that history can make to the field of art education.
TL;DR: In this paper, a rural pueblo of western Chihuahua located in the margins between the plains to the east and the sierra to the west of Mexico is studied.
Abstract: The following essay is composed in the field and takes as its point of departure a consideration of some relationships between anthropological and historical practices.* It is intended to demonstrate how the two practices, anthropological and historical, can be intelligibly united in the investigation of social life. The research which forms the basis for these observations is being conducted in Namiquipa, a rural pueblo of western Chihuahua located in the margins between the plains to the east and the sierra to the west. In setting out to do an ethnographic study of a non-Indian agricultural community in northern Mexico, I hoped to explore the validity of some of the many generalizations made about ’the peasantry’ in Mexico. Working in a former military settlement colony in Chihuahua, I hoped to distinguish a certain type of nominally peasant development which has taken place on Mexico’s northern frontier. There is a tendency in many anthropological studies of specific communities to subsume the rural populace under a general ’peasant concept’. (Cf. Silverman 1979 for a critical discussion.) This has drawn fire from historians, for example, who complain about the
TL;DR: A medical sociologist describes his role as an "ethnographer of medical action," drawing principally on his experiences in a study of a group of physician genetic counselors in a tertiary-care pediatric hospital and, to a lesser extent, on aStudy of how surgical residents learn to handle mistakes.
Abstract: In a field like genetic counseling, a medical sociologist is not only a doctor-watcher but a witness who tries to interpret the moral conflicts that lie beneath the surface of an advancing technology.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how integration seminars can be helpful in dealing with the dynamic tensions that develop between content in the classroom and in the field setting, and make a case for adopting this educational approach as a means for helping students derive practice principles, develop skills of critical self-analysis, demonstrate and benefit from peer learning, and arrive at a synthesis of theory and practice.

TL;DR: The authors suggests that the selection of persons capable of committing serious crimes is also based on individual prerequisites and suggests that extremists are only partially prepared to take offences in the field of serious crime upon themselves.
Abstract: Political extremists are only partially prepared to take offences in the field of serious crime upon themselves. It therefore suggests itself that the selection of persons capable of such crimes is also based on individual prerequisites.
