This document provides an introduction to the second edition of the book "Method in Social Science" by Andrew Sayer. It discusses the need to bridge the gap between philosophical debates and empirical social research. The introduction emphasizes that conceptualization and theorizing are important aspects of method that are often overlooked. It also argues that views of causation based on regularities have limited social science, and realist philosophy provides an alternative view of causation based on causal powers. The introduction presents social research as dealing with multi-dimensional objects that cannot be isolated experimentally, placing importance on abstraction to identify constituent processes. It advocates taking a broad view of method that incorporates social theory, philosophy of social science, and research practices.
The document discusses the relationship between culture, ideology, and material conditions. It addresses several theorists' perspectives on this relationship, such as Althusser's view of ideology as the "lived relation" between people and their world, and Marx's argument that consciousness is determined by material life rather than the other way around. The document also examines how ideologies function to represent certain interests and conceal social contradictions, giving power to ruling ideas and classes.
This document summarizes the travels of three Western women missionaries - Mildred Cable, Francesca French, and Evangeline French - known as "The Trio", who crossed the Gobi Desert five times between 1923 and 1936. As some of the first Christians in the region since the 6th century, they sought to educate women and spread Christianity. The Trio embraced the hardships of desert travel and drew inspiration from its vast open spaces. They viewed their missionary work as a spiritual journey, likening it to The Pilgrim's Progress. Despite dangers, they demonstrated commitment to their faith by adopting a child during their travels.
This document summarizes and analyzes representations of Chinese American spaces (Chinatowns) in literature and film. It discusses Wayne Wang's films Chan Is Missing and Dim Sum, Jade Snow Wong's 1945 autobiography Fifth Chinese Daughter, and novels Donald Duk by Frank Chin and Bone by Fae Myenne Ng. It examines how these works portray the rediscovery and reimagining of Chinese American spaces from the early Chinatowns to newer representations.
Modern women in cities were embracing new modern lifestyles as urban areas grew rapidly due to improved transportation and communication. The "Parisienne" came to represent the essence of modern French femininity through her fashionable style and mysterious allure. Paintings from the time often depicted fashionable women in public as symbols of modern life, with their bodies and appearances on display for the male gaze. However, these images also suggested women were treated primarily as objects for male pleasure and consumption.
This document discusses the concept of the fl?neur and how its definition has been debated and evolved over time. Key points:
1) Originally the fl?neur referred to an idle yet artistic male observer of 19th century urban life, as defined by Baudelaire.
2) Later theorists like Simmel, Benjamin, and others complicated this definition, examining aspects like the fl?neur's detachment from or interaction with the crowds.
3) Feminist scholars critiqued the early masculine focus and explored how gender shaped the experience of urban observing.
The document examines the ambiguities and paradoxes in defining the fl?neur and how it relates to conceptualizing modernity
The document summarizes Deborah Parsons' thesis that explores how the concept of the fl?neur has been redefined over time from the 19th century to present. It traces how the fl?neur was originally defined as a male urban observer but has since been gendered as exclusively male. Parsons aims to recontextualize the fl?neur and theorize the possibility of the female fl?neuse. The summary provides examples of how different intellectuals such as Addison, Baudelaire, and Simmel defined the fl?neur with varying and sometimes ambiguous gender implications.
This academic report summarizes the results of a research project on the 2002 Taiwanese film Blue Gate Crossing. The research examined the film's formal qualities and visual style rather than just providing a thematic interpretation. It found that the film was influenced by Taiwan New Cinema in its long takes and static camerawork. Scenes were often composed using techniques like planimetric framing and multiple frames that created symbolic meanings related to queer desire and closeting. Many shots appeared to be from the point-of-view of the female protagonist Meng Ke-rou looking at Zhang Shihao, suggesting her shifting feelings though she claimed to love another woman. The analysis of the film's form provided insights beyond just discussing its portrayal of queer
This document discusses Nancy Duncan's argument that the distinction between private and public spaces is problematic and has been used to legitimate oppression based on gender and regulate sexuality. Duncan argues for destabilizing the boundaries between private and public spheres in order to open debate, challenge norms, and protect marginalized groups. She believes this could be achieved through organized social movements bringing private issues into the public sphere and deterritorializing regulated spaces.
The document discusses the concept of the fl?neur in modernity and cities. It provides context on Charles Baudelaire's views of the fl?neur as someone who observes urban crowds and modern life. The fl?neur is described as aimlessly wandering cities, being an "unwilling detective" observing people and society, and being both intoxicated by modern commodity culture but also aware of harsh social realities. The document concludes by summarizing key aspects of the fl?neur as a petty bourgeoisie individual strolling cities leisurely while partially conscious of their surrounding environment and society.
