TL;DR: The concept of social embeddings has also been used in economic sociology as mentioned in this paper, where the authors explore the different forms in which social structures affect economic action and their consequences, positive and negative, highlighted.
Abstract: This article contributes to the reemerging field of economic sociology by (1) delving into its classic roots to refine current concepts and (2) using examples from the immigration literature to explore the different forms in which social structures affect economic action. The concept of social "embeddedness" provides a suitable theoretical umbrella, although in analyzing its specific manifestations, the article focuses on the concept of social capital. The various mechanisms through which social structures affect economic action are identified and categorized and their consequences, positive and negative, highlighted. The propositions that summarize the different parts of the discussion attempt to move these concepts beyond sensitizing generalities to hypothesis-like statements that can guide future research. Recent work in economic sociology represents one of the most exciting developments in the field insofar as it promises to vindicate the heritage of Max Weber in the analysis of economic life and, by the same token, to rescue this vast area from the exclusive sway of the neoclassical perspective. Spearheaded by Mark Granovetter's (1985) critique of a pure "market" approach to economic action, the sociological perspective has been reinforced by the introduction and subsequent use of the concepts of "social capital" (Bourdieu 1979; Bourdieu, Newman, and Wocquant

TL;DR: In this paper, the concepts of genre and field, as developed in the context of systemic-functional linguistics, are extended to the broader concepts of discourse and discursive practice.
Abstract: This paper relates the concepts of genre and field, as developed in the context of systemic-functional linguistics, to the broader concepts of discourse and discursive practice. Generic structure is described in terms of the sequencing of speech acts, and as realizing the activity sequences which form the core of discursive practices. Field structure is reinterpreted as the recontextualization of social practice and as realizing discourses, that is, context-specific knowledge constructions about social practices. The theory is extended to the multimodal text, the text which uses more than one semiotic, e.g. verbal text and images. It is applied in a critical analysis of the discursive practices constituted by a certain kind of professional guidance writing in the press, and of discourses about `going to school for the first time'.

TL;DR: The tendency in the past has been for aruhropobgists to rationalize away the native claim that spirits exist as mentioned in this paper, but in this study, a number of incidents, some of which happened to the author, are described and used to bring this positwistic assumption into question.
Abstract: The tendency in the past has been for aruhropobgists to rationalize away the native claim that spirits exist. But in this study, a number of incidents, some of which happened to the author, are described and used to bring this positwistic assumption into question. The author shows that "participant observation" in the fullest sense requires taking the final leap and "going native" in the most complete way possible.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight key issues in field education: professional boundaries, ethical responsibility, and legal liability for students, field instructors, and the school's field staff, and provide specific recommendations to help reduce the risk of making mistakes and to improve the quality of social work field education.
Abstract: The social work student, field instructor, and field education staff create a series of complex relationships with multiple tasks, responsibilities, and liabilities. All too often, it is unclear how and in what capacity all of these individuals should interact. The authors highlight key issues in field education: professional boundaries, ethical responsibility, and legal liability for students, field instructors, and the school’s field staff. The authors also provide examples to illustrate potential liability in the context of each relationship involved in the field education experience. In addition, they make specific recommendations to help reduce the risk of making mistakes and to improve the quality of social work field education.

TL;DR: A detailed account of the intellectual history of the field of industrial relations, its relationship to personnel management (and related fields such as organizational behavior), and the historical development of the major institutions of Industrial Relations in American academe, including university degree programs and professional associations is given in this paper.
Abstract: INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS (IR) developed as a distinct academic subject and field of study nearly three-quarters of a century ago. This book provides a historical survey of the origins and development of the field in the United States and an analysis of the factors that contributed both to the field's ascendancy in the decade after World War II and to its sharp decline in the 1980s. The book has three objectives. The first is to provide a detailed account of the intellectual history of the field of industrial relations, its relationship to personnel management (and related fields such as organizational behavior), and the historical development of the major institutions of industrial relations in American academe, including university degree programs and professional associations. The second objective is to assess the reasons for the marked decline in the field's intellectual and organizational for, tunes over the last two decades, a decline that has proceeded to the point that the continued existence of industrial relations programs at a number of universities is threatened. Finally, the third objective is to develop a strategy for change that will preserve and strengthen industrial relations as a field of study, if not in name then in intellectual spirit.

TL;DR: This special issue came about as the result of a proposal I wrote to the editor, Lamar Reinsch, about two years ago as discussed by the authors, about the desire to know who I was as an academic professional.
Abstract: This special issue came about as the result of a proposal I wrote to the editor, Lamar Reinsch, about two years ago. For me, the desire to know who I was as an academic professional had become sharp. Books about English as a discipline were proliferating (Elbow, 1990; Graff,1987; Scholes, 1985; one might also include North, 1987)-and all of them declined to include business or technical communication faculty in the

TL;DR: The authors argued that the language of African literature cannot be discussed meaningfully outside the context of those social forces which have made it "an issue demanding our attention," that is, the history of colonialism and anti-imperialist struggles and the contemporary realities of neocolonialism.
Abstract: As the Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o argues, "[T]he language of African literature cannot be discussed meaningfully outside the context of those social forces which have made it ... an issue demanding our attention," that is, the history of colonialism and anti-imperialist struggles and the contemporary realities of neocolonialism.1 Neither, however, can the question of the language of African literature be discussed meaningfully without considering the position of the writer taking a stand on this issue within the restricted field of literary production, the general field of symbolic capital, the structure of classes, and the field of "social space" generally. It is from this perspective, drawing on the sociology of intellectuals and of cultural production of Pierre Bourdieu, that I want to read Chinua Achebe's discussion of the language of African literature and Ngugi's important intervention in this debate.2 In particular, I am interested in Ngugi's and Achebe's misrecognition, to use Bourdieu's phrase, of their own position within these fields, a misrecognition produced by their relationship to English as the official administrative and educational language of Kenya and Nigeria, but, more importantly, by their position in the literary field and in the dominated fraction of the dominant class (i.e., as intellectuals). The use of Bourdieu in an analysis of the debate on the language of African literature may seem, at first, an unwarranted, perhaps colonial, imposition. However, Bourdieu's work has a claim to validity that extends beyond the context of his work on French culture, narrowly interpreted. Bourdieu argues for this perspective in the preface to the English-language edition of Distinction:
