Abstract:
Relational sociology rejects substantialism and focuses its attention on the complexity and dynamics of all forms of social life and the subjective nature of action. Relational thinking is an alternative attitude to both functional structuralism and strongly individualistic-oriented theories. Relationality emphasizes the processual and emergent nature of reality. Actions— individual and collective—appear as successive stages of a specific process of events, and result from the configuration of relations and social interactions constituting a particular situation. Different conceptions of identity have been developed within relationally oriented sociology. The aim of the article is to summarize the narrative and realistic approaches, and to present how much they differ in their ontological assumptions. The constructionist concept of narrative identity presented by Margaret R. Somers, and Kenneth J. Gergen’s project of a “relational self,” illustrate the narrative approach. Pierpaolo Donati’s concept of the relational subject and the theory of agency developed by Margaret S. Archer exemplify the position of critical realism.

Abstract:
This paper explores the popular concept of the relationship between Taiwan and China as a feminine/ masculine dichotomy which has been constructed within Taiwan's national imagination. First, I will focus on how this dichotomy has been created within the process of identity-shifting in Taiwan since the 1990s as manifested in Taiwanese pop songs. Second, I will demonstrate how it has been appropriated within the process of nation-building. Two primary questions will be addressed: How is the national imagination of Taiwan in Taiwanese pop songs constructed through maternal and feminine images? How is the matrilineal genealogy in Taiwanese pop songs appropriated by the opposition camp, namely the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), to mobilize voters? I will investigate, from a cultural studies perspective, how cultural imagination has come to serve as the vehicle to formulate resistance, mobilize voters, gain power and, most importantly, reconstruct Taiwanese nationalism within Taiwan's political limbo for decades. Furthermore, Margaret Somers' discussion (1993, 1994, 1995a, 1995b, 1995c; Somers and Gibson 1994) of narrative identity is adopted as the framework for this paper in order to look at how identities are constructed within and across multiple realms. My research methods consist of conducting in-depth interviews and analysing texts.

Abstract:
The sociological tools of Margaret Somers are employed to dissect Indonesian high school history teachers' narratives about teaching controversial history of post-independence Indonesian communism. Twelve semi-structured interviews form a qualitative foundation to generate analysis on history teachers' stories about what enables the entanglement of alternative narratives of Indonesian communism in their teachings. This current study explores how various stories influence the teachers' standpoints on it. Moreover, the study highlights the socio-historical context of how their standpoints were formed. Empirical findings in this study suggest that the teachers draw on different narratives that navigate them to teach alternative versions, in order to counterbalance the mainstream story of Indonesian communism in school textbooks and the history curriculum. However, for some teachers, it is more challenging to teach a subject on Indonesian communism in line with their standpoints. The ease and challenges in teaching controversial history vary since each teacher is embedded in different relationships. Therefore, the social context of their teachings is also discussed.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Ao longo do tempo, o cânone literário tem se nutrido de imagens recorrentes e consagradas pelo publico leitor, e renovado os significados, trazendo à tona valores que, ao mesmo tempo, se interrogam e se projetam em constante dialogo com e/ou oposicao a outros tradicionalmente assimilados. Neste aspecto, o conto literário tem se desdobrado em instigantes narrativas, as quais, abordando os mais diferentes e inusitados assuntos, mostram-se como recortes oportunos e interessantes registros das subjetividades do seu tempo. Pela sua concisão, em especial, o conto breve da pós-modernidade presta-se à exploração de um olhar crítico sobre o passado, o presente, e a representação que se tem feito da mesma. A partir deste horizonte, a presente dissertação tem como objeto de estudo três narrativas breves da coletânea A Tenda, de Margaret Atwood (2006), a saber: “Não é fácil ser Semidivino”, “Salomé era uma dançarina” e “A versão de Horácio”. Nestas, a autora proporciona uma re-leitura das personagens clássicas Helena de Troia, Salomé, e Horácio de Hamlet, a quem revisita através de uma ótica paródica. Dessa maneira, o presente estudo objetiva explorar os recursos narrativos ligados à intertextualidade, enveredando-se pelas fronteiras do gênero e perfazendo, assim, as subversões do conceito. Para que esse objetivo fosse alcançado, a fundamentação teórica desta dissertação foi baseada principalmente nos estudos sobre intertextualidade, feitos por Julia Kristeva (1969); nas pesquisas sobre as narrativas breves, realizadas por Nadia Batella Gotlib (2006), Ricardo Piglia (2002); nos estudos sobre o gênero, de Jane Flax (1991), Judith Butler (2008), e Linda Hutcheon (1989; 2002), em especial no que tange à interlocução destes últimos com representações históricas e paródicas no âmbito do pós-modernismo e da crítica da contemporaneidade.
Over time, the literary canon has nursed recurring images consecrated by humanity, and renewed meanings, bringing out values, at the same time, interrogate and project as opposed to other ones. Thus, formal elements, applied in certain contexts, transmit, or inscribe certain impressions within a culture; thus, reversing expectations. Due to that matter, short stories have been turned into compelling narratives which, in their turn, address the most varied and unusual contents. They are depicted as scraps, interesting records of subjectivities of its time. By its conciseness, in particular, the brief tale of Postmodernity lends itself to the exploration of a critical looking at the past, present, and representation that has done the same. In line with the above, the current work has as object of study, three short stories in the collection The Tent, by Margaret Atwood (2006), namely, “It’s Not Easy Being Half-Divine”, “Salome Was a Dancer” and “Horatio’s Version”. In these, the author provides a re-reading of the classic characters Helen of Troy, Salome, and Horatio’s Hamlet, whom are revisited considered in a parodic perspective. Thus, this study aims to explore the narrative resources linked to intertextuality by the genre boundaries; so, making subversions of the concept. For this objective to be achieved, the theoretical foundation of this thesis was based mainly on studies of intertextuality, made by Julia Kristeva (1969); in research on the brief narratives performed by Nadia Batella Gotlib (2006), and Ricardo Piglia (2002); in studies of gender, Jane Flax (1991), Judith Butler (2008), and Linda Hutcheon (1989; 2002), particularly, with regard to the dialogue of the latter historic and parodic representations in the context of Postmodernism and the contemporary criticism.

Blake, Wilson Tara. "Calls from the archive : connecting Margaret Mead, Theodor Wistrand, and some other dead relations." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2014. http://research.gold.ac.uk/10808/.

Full text
Abstract:
This practice-research thesis is a response to two related calls: the call of deceased figures from the archive to the living, and the call for the living to produce archives, to (never) become deceased. These calls are understood through, respectively, Avital Ronell’s conceptualization of haunted writing and Jacques Derrida’s notion of archive fever. Ronell’s concept, coined in Dictations: On Haunted Writing (1986), emerges in tracing the enduring posthumous power of Goethe who, after his death, continued to speak to and through other writers. In Archive Fever (1995) Derrida introduces the term via the relationship of the historian, Yerushalmi’s, relationship to Freud’s work, arguing that archive fever is a compulsion to return to the place of commencement; a homesickness that is constituted by a competing anarchivic destructive drive. The response draws on ethnography, post-structuralism, experimental literature and historiography in what can be termed a work of creative-critical writing or ficto-criticism. The three main archival collections that the thesis engages with are The Wistrand Collection at the Screen Archive South East, The Margaret Mead Collection and Pacific Ethnographic Archives at the Library of Congress, and the informal archives of the recently deceased mother and grandmother of the candidate (who writes about herself in the third person under the pseudonym ‘Scarlet’). The method is one of written assemblage akin to found-footage filmmaking. By creatively connecting these three archives, along with the personal lives of the theorists used to examine them, new perspectives and understandings are produced, in particular on ethnography and the avant-garde during the inter-war period, as well as previously unexplored literal and figurative links between Jacques Derrida, Kathy Acker, Maya Deren and Margaret Mead. More broadly, the thesis aims to build on Ronell and Derrida’s ideas by putting them in empirical motion, and to set out a new creative-critical model for approaching archival collections.

Full text
Abstract:
This study and the accompanying design project explore postmodern identity construction as a nomadic state of being in relation to the shared experience of space. The potential of the relationship between postmodern identity and physical space is explored both theoretically and through practical application. The main theory explored is ‘third space’, with specific reference to the concept of ‘thirdness’ as articulated by American psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin (in Frosh&Baraitser 2009). This study examines how shared spaces can, through narrative reframed by ontology (Somers 1994), be seen as physical manifestations of the ‘third space’ as envisaged by the likes of Homi K Bhabha (1994) and Edward Soja (1996). The notion of ‘thirdness’ is used to explore the relationship between individuals and shared space. ‘Thirdness’ is also paralleled to Ubuntu. ‘Thirdness’ is investigated as a means to access shared relational spaces that provide an abundance of symbolic narratives that can be gathered and integrated into the self. This study explores how being connected through shared space has the potential to be constructive in identity formation in the wake of unstable postmodern identity. This study uses a design process adapted from Karl Aspelund (2006) as an approach to the research. In the context of this study, design is seen as more than the resulting artefact. It encompasses the thought process, the methods used and steps taken to reach a particular research outcome. This study attempts to form a synthesis between the theoretical research conducted and design praxis in the form of the design outcome. As inspiration for the design action, the design process followed in this research facilitates the exploration of theory that is perhaps unfamiliar to design discourse. The steps in the process allow the refinement of concepts, application of the theory in a practical environment (a paper making workshop) and finally, the visualisation of the theory via the design artefact (an animated short). The medium of animation is selected purposively in order to convey the interpretive narrative derived from the process. The paper produced in the workshop reflects the theory, inspires the narrative of the animation and is used to create the environment and characters of the animation, which, in turn, embody the overarching concepts of the study.

Abstract:
For 50 years, Margaret Mead told Americans how cultures worked, and Americans listened. While serving as a curator at the American Museum of Natural History and as a professor of anthropology at Columbia University, she published dozens of books and hundreds of articles, scholarly and popular, on topics ranging from adolescence to atomic energy, Polynesian kinship networks to kindergarten, national morale to marijuana. At her death in 1978, she was the most famous anthropologist in the world and one of the best-known women in America. She had amply achieved her goal, as she described it to an interviewer in 1975, “To have lived long enough to be of some use.” As befits her prominence, Mead has had many biographers, but there is a curious hole at the center of these accounts: Mead’s faith. Margaret Mead: A Twentieth-Century Faith introduces a side of its famous subject that few people know. It re-narrates her life and reinterprets her work, highlighting religious concerns. Following Mead’s lead, it ranges across areas that are often kept academically distinct: anthropology, gender studies, intellectual history, church history, and theology. It is a portrait of a mind at work, pursuing a unique vision of the good of the world.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the works of three Canadian novelists best known internationally: Robertson Davies, Margaret Atwood, and Michael Ondaatje. The careers of Davies, Atwood, and Ondaatje, although overlapping chronologically, represent distinctive stages in Canada's evolving cultural traditions and publishing practices since the 1950s. Davies's novels signal the first stage in a transition from colonial to postcolonial identity in post-war Canada. Atwood in the 1970s provided the script for a Canadian cultural and literary identity separate from British and American in what Carol Shields called ‘a period of explosive patriotism’. Ondaatje's novels and family memoir epitomize the ‘refocusing and defocusing’ of Canadian literature since the 1980s, coinciding with the nation's shifts into multiculturalism and transnationalism. The chapter first provides a background on Davies, Atwood, and Ondaatje's careers before considering some of their works, including the Deptford trilogy (Davies), The Handmaid's Tale (Atwood), and The English Patient (Ondaatje).

During the first decade after the Restoration, terms to denote fiction such as ‘romance’ and ‘novel’ were often interchangeable. Many new works of fiction reference the civil war and the return of monarchy. Most declared a moral or didactic purpose, while others featured picaresque adventures, some of which were translated from Spanish and French works. Bookseller Francis Kirkman also published a popular title by Richard Head, The English Rogue, which enjoyed many reprints. Margaret Cavendish experimented with epistolary fiction in Sociable Letters.

This chapter considers early British reactions to absolutism between the start of Barrow’s pertinent lectures in 1664, and the publication of Newton’s Principia in 1687. Although the amount of discussion absolutism received in Britain during this period was much less than it would receive later, it was already capturing the attention of some important thinkers. The reactions to absolutism were mixed. Different kinds of absolutism about space or time was adopted by thinkers such as Samuel Parker, Robert Boyle, and John Turner. In contrast, absolutism was rejected by philosophers such as Margaret Cavendish, Ralph Cudworth, Nathaniel Fairfax, and Anne Conway.

Samuel Pepys’s and John Evelyn’s diaries are among the most important sources about the Restoration years. Others such as Lucy Hutchinson wrote memoirs for their family or, like Margaret Cavendish, to defend the reputation of a family member.

The success of Ballad for Americans allowed Latouche to move into nice quarters in Greenwich Village and marry Theodora Griffis. During this period, that is, the early 1940s, his new friends included Carson McCullers and Leo Lerman. He also continued to befriend notable émigrés, including Brion Gysin, Jimmy Ernst, Yul Brynner, Marlene Dietrich, Eleonora and Francesco von Mendelssohn, Anaïs Nin, and Ruth Yorck. Meanwhile, his interest in the occult was reflected in his friendships with medium Eileen Garrett, palmist Margaret Mamlok, sand astrologers Charles Jayne and Natacha Rambova. He and many of his friends took stimulants under the supervision of Dr. Max Jacobson, with whom Latouche collaborated on some projects, and who became known as the notorious Dr. Feelgood.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter is a conceptual, pragmatic and imaginative ‘thought experiment’. Broadly informed by Margaret Somers’ ‘historical sociology of concept formation’, which excavates the historicity, genealogies, and relationalities of concepts, we explore several key concepts, particularly commodification/decommodification and familialisation/defamilialisation. We argue that these concepts, and their histories and ensuing debates, are useful for thinking about and re-imagining Parental Leave as a social policy. The chapter begins by engaging with Gøsta Esping-Andersen’s contributions to debates on social policy and welfare states, briefly tracing his work’s roots in the work of Karl Polanyi, which we read with and through the writing of Fred Block and Margaret Somers, and Nancy Fraser. They and others argue that Polanyi’s work can help us understand and challenge relations between current enhanced conditions of neoliberal restructuring, market economies and ‘market fundamentalism’. With a focus on Canada, we map new pathways for future imaginaries in leave-to-care policy making. We argue that new interpretations of Polanyian insights introduce new conceptual configurations to Parental Leave debates, linking neoliberalism, paid work and care work, market fundamentalism, social protection, social citizenship, and entanglements between socio-economic rights and human rights.

Abstract:
Chapter 7 shifts the discussion to focus specifically on the case study of the United States, where “second-class” citizens are often unable to access fully functioning citizenship and enjoy their rights to place and purpose. Drawing from the work of Margaret Somers, the “contractualization of citizenship” and “color-blind” politics often lead to situations of “internal statelessness” in one of the world’s wealthiest, most powerful countries. Issues of police brutality and inequality before the law arise from pervasive systems of unequal citizenship and structural violence against racial minorities, many of whom occupy lower socioeconomic classes than their White counterparts in American cities such as Detroit, Flint, and Saint Louis. Human rights challenges such as forced eviction, lack of clean drinking water and affordable healthcare, and widespread racial inequalities highlight the ways many people are denied their full rights to place and purpose despite their status as American citizens.

Chapter 3 focuses on the Latin versions of St Margaret’s vita, circulating in medieval England. These include the one from the Golden Legend (Legenda Aurea), which became a base for many other versions, both Latin and vernacular. Its influence is also found in some of the English breviaries, discussed in the second section of the chapter. The chapter proceeds with an overview of Latin verses and hymns to St Margaret and finally discusses the vernacular texts influenced by the Legenda Aurea: the two Middle English translations, the Gilte Legende and Caxton’s Golden Legend; Nicholas Bozon’s Anglo-Norman verse life, and St Margaret’s legend from the Scottish Legendary.

Abstract:
Chapter 12 addresses various aspects of the iconography of St Margaret’s legend. It traces the traditional depiction of the saint on top of the dragon to the ancient tradition of trampling down one’s enemy. It looks into the changes the morphology of Margaret’s dragon underwent in medieval images from the ninth to the sixteenth century and compares them with the dragon’s description in the written legends. It then discusses the cycles depicting several scenes of the saint’s life, as well as some recurring elements of her iconography such as daisies, pearls, crosses, girdles or belts, and even herons. Finally, it links the legend of St Margaret with a folk tale known as a Cinderella-cycle, illustrating how elements of Margaret’s iconography were recycled for the use of later saints such as St Dympna and even for Disney’s princesses.

Abstract:
Despite its distance in time and history from Harkness’s original and best-known London novels, A Curate’s Promise in many ways brings Harkness’s oeuvre full circle. Set in the East End of London during the First World War, it resumes her focus on London’s marginalised communities and the efforts of the Salvation Army to ameliorate their condition. Through a reading of this final novel, this chapter draws together some of the strands of Harkness’s thinking which other scholars in this volume have begun to unravel, and considers her lasting ties to an organisation she never intended to join, but to the faithful chronicling of whose work she devoted a significant part of her long writing career.

Abstract:
If Mead had only been weighing whether to stay with Luther Cressman or marry Reo Fortune, the year after her trip to Samoa would have been difficult enough. But there was another person very much on her mind and in her heart, Ruth Benedict. Mead’s attempts to parse her feelings for, and duties to, all of these people caused great agony. While the sexual and psychological dimensions of these relationships have been explored at some length by other biographers, the spiritual aspects have received less attention. It is perhaps most accurate to say that, while Mead did not find the sexual ethics of her chosen denomination compelling, the symbols and metaphors of faith continued to shape her perspective.

Abstract:
Mead stayed extraordinarily busy to the end of life, engaged with such issues as nuclear safety, Earth Day, and the women’s movement. When a cancer diagnosis threatened her forward momentum, she denied it, preferring the ministrations of a faith healer over the recommendations of medical science. This choice dismayed her closest friends, but it was not entirely a departure from a life marked by curiosity about the full range of human experiences, even those that could not be explained by science. After her death, she was widely mourned and celebrated. She was, at her request, buried at the same church where she had been baptized and married for the first time. She is recognized by some fellow Episcopalians as a saint.

Abstract:
George Eastmont: Wanderer sealed Margaret Harkness’s disengagement from the socialist politics with which she had been actively involved since the 1880s. Its broad canvas also marked another key departure: the turn from late nineteenth-century slum fiction to the reinvigorated condition of England novel that characterised the Edwardian era. Unusually for Harkness, who wrote her books extremely quickly, George Eastmont: Wanderer underwent a long period of gestation. First mooted in the months following the 1889 Dockworkers’ Strike, the novel’s pivotal and deeply traumatic event, Harkness’s major work did not appear until some fifteen years later. This chapter attempts to decipher the painful history of this delay, situating it against the background of the author’s difficult reappraisal of her own political past and the critical interventions through which she distanced herself from the labour movement and the strike’s most significant achievement, the creation of the new unionism.

Abstract:
Mead reached her largest audience through her monthly column in Redbook magazine, which ran from 1962 to Mead’s death in 1978. Examining the Redbook columns gives a good sense of Mead’s spiritual life and social ethics in her prime years. Religion was not a major theme in the columns, but it cropped up in surprising ways. The Redbook pieces also shed light on Mead’s relationship with Rhoda Metraux, who co-authored them and edited the three book collections drawn from the columns. Additionally, looking at the letters Mead received during these years shows the impact she had on her audience. By 1970, she was getting fifteen pounds of mail every day. People believed that they knew her through her media presence, and they trusted her enough to ask her practically anything. In some ways, she came to function almost as a clergywoman, making prophetic pronouncements, receiving confessions, and dispensing pastoral advice. Ironically, she came only late and reluctantly to acceptance of the idea that women could be clergy, and the slow evolution of her thinking on this subject is most clearly seen in one of the Redbook columns.
