Running in Culture and Running into Culture: A Cultural

▼ This study investigates the impact of schemas
related to the body on the experiences of runners in a mainstream
running group, the FunRunners, and a more extreme ultrarunning
group, the Ultramaniacs. I use the cases of running groups to make
contributions to the field of
cultural sociology by employing a
variety of research methods including textual analysis of online
chatboard interactions and content analysis of popular running
publications. I use this data to explore public discourse around
running, to examine the structuring of the two running groups, and
to investigate the specific meaning structures at play in the
groups. Ultimately, I wanted to know how hermeneutics matter in
human lived experience. Also, what is the relationship between
internal group cultures and external macro cultures? And why do
processes or objects that garner no attention in one setting become
objects of intense focus in another and what effect does this have?
That is, are there
cultural virtuosi within the running world, ala
Weber’s religious virtuosi, and, if so, what processes constitute
them? The focus on the FunRunners and
Ultramaniacs was chosen primarily because of the possibilities for
seeing the processes of interest here in order to build theory and
best illustrate meaning-making and meaning-influence. This is not a
study about running, it is a study of the sui generis creation of
meaning in groups, an examination of the conditions both
organizational and external under which this meaning-making is most
likely to occur, and then an exploration of how the meanings
created (at times) within groups can matter to the people who
encounter and hold them. The layered exploration of these processes
in this study shows that not all people are equally likely to pay
attention to meanings in all areas of their lives. There are many
places where meaning is taken for granted, and in part, this study
shows why
cultural virtuosi are created in certain types of
situations.

▼ This thesis is an exploration into some ways in which outsiders might provide useful forms of support to a people faced with having to adapt their cultures and communities, following the loss of a place due to climate change. This exploration is particularly directed at outsiders – people external to the impacted communities – who have the potential to provide highly useful and varied forms of support, but who are unable to develop relationships with and learn about the people and cultures they seek to support through the frequently-advocated approach of long term immersion in communities. This thesis views social responsibility for climate change in the era of the Anthropocene (a term that recognizes that accelerated climate change is at least partly human induced) as a shared and global responsibility, and therefore argues that a diverse range of outsiders should provide such support – when the affected community desires it. It recognizes the diverse range of ‘outsiders’ who can provide various forms of support to a climate vulnerable people, but who may have little framework for providing valuable and specialized knowledge, skills and services in culturally affirming ways. There is little scholarship available to guide outsiders seeking to provide useful forms of support to a climate vulnerable people, but who are unable to spend long periods of time in that community. To gain valuable insights into how such outsiders might provide useful forms of support, a multicomponent research journey was undertaken, beginning with a theoretical and conceptual enquiry into the key challenges present in providing such support. Through this, it became clear that the complexity of responding to climate change issues, and the broad range of expertise that might be required, means that impacted communities are often forced to look beyond their local resources to tackle the problems, and that people who offer support can easily reinforce negative modes of engagement with vulnerable peoples. From this enquiry emerged an understanding of critical interdisciplinary approaches as essential for finding a way forward. The thesis itself, therefore, applies three overarching questions — What is a meaningful identity? What capacity does such an identity have to adapt and still remain meaningful to its members? And what broad conditions are required in order for that adaptation to occur? — to a case study: Tokelau, a place often identified as at risk of becoming uninhabitable due to climate change but which, as of yet, has received little scholarly attention. Recognizing the profound importance of treating climate vulnerable peoples as valuable conversation partners, and crucial knowledge holders. The research included a multi-sited and collaborative field research project in Nukunonu (Tokelau) and Wellington (New Zealand). This field work engaged with a traditional Tokelauan cultural practice — weaving — as a communication tool and conversation anchor. Thus, through a combination of research methods, including participant observation and…

▼ This study looks at global inequality and seeks to
show that prioritizing the role of women in society can reduce
inequality. Using the framework of invisible violence, this study
views inequality as violence and uses HIV, tuberculosis and
maternal mortality as health outcomes. The invisible violence
models in this thesis did show a connection between the status of
women and health outcomes. However, further revision is needed in
order to provide a model that is more holistic.

▼ Researchers in cross-cultural pedagogy often invoke the work of Hofstede (1980; 1986) and Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov (2010) to explain variation in classroom behavioral norms across countries (e.g. Cronjé, 2011; Li & Guo, 2012; Tananuraksakul, 2013). Although Hofstede' s model of culture was developed from IBM employee surveys to facilitate cross-cultural management, Hofstede explicitly suggests that his findings can be generalized to student and teacher behavior in the classroom. The present study tests this suggestion by administering an online survey to university students (n=625) in the following countries: USA (n=181), South Africa (n=103), China (n=64), Turkey, (n=60), Russia, (n=59), Finland (n=58), Vietnam (n=52), and France (n=48). Although the number of countries included in this study is too low to produce globally generalizable results, a statistical comparison of national means on each item fails to support Hofstede's predictions about how national culture manifests in the classroom for these particular countries. Instead, provisional support is found for the creation of a new set of cultural dimensions for the specific purpose of studying classroom culture, with three such dimensions emerging from a principal components analysis of the present data set. The examination of national differences on individual items in this survey can also be useful for traveling instructors of English-speaking university classrooms.

▼ Triathlon status symbols allow community members to gain prestige. The accrual of paraphernalia, such as race apparel and bumper stickers, provide individuals with a means to display their accomplishments for non-participants, too. Ethnographic fieldwork, questionnaires and interviews provided insight into a variety of experiences. The individual nature of the sport is reflected by a participant‘s decision to display status markers. Car signs (e.g., bumper stickers and license plate frames) are displayed by a quarter of race participants. They come in a variety of forms allowing the car‘s driver to communicate with triathletes and non-triathletes while driving on the road. The most prestigious triathlon race is the Ironman. The M Dot Ironman logo appears as a decal on vehicles and as a mark of permanence on the body. Tattoos act as a formal communication system in a similar manner to car signs. Triathletes display status symbols to garner respect from their peers and separate themselves from the larger society.

▼ Kazakhstan, like other former Soviet states, seeks national self-definition. For Kazakhs, proverbs are the traditional resource for defining problems, making moral judgments, and suggesting remedies. As a result, the Kazakhstani government mandates instruction in Kazakh proverbs to shape the nation. How can anthropological and folkloristic tools be implemented to assess the language ideologies brought into play in this situation without crossing the line into conjecture? Research into “national traits” using proverbs has validity issues since it relies on small proverb sets, fails to acknowledge the multi-voiced nature of language ideologies, and projects values onto the societies in question. More recent research utilizes larger proverb sets, surveys, and participant observation thus providing examples for addressing these shortcomings. In my own research, I have incorporated these proverb research methods while also addressing the shortcomings of the “national traits” research by setting three delimitations of my research concerning language ideologies expressed by means of Kazakh proverbs. First, I focus on youth, the societal group most likely to change linguistically in an environment of language revitalization. Second, I only explore language ideologies concerning “community”. Third, I have worked with a speech community rather than attempting nationwide analysis. My field research was completed at Kazakh National Technical University in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I surveyed students concerning Kazakh proverbs addressing “community”. Students reenacted the most familiar proverbs from the set, thereby narrativizing their language ideologies concerning “community”. I analyzed the data using an adaptation of Goffman's frame analysis. The language ideology showing the most tension was individualism-collectivism. This cultural theme is best understood as a continuum going from individual to the extended family / friends, and finally to the nation. In their narratives, students grappled with the paradigm of strength in numbers and “elders” in the skits repeatedly opposed individualism. In the reenactments, students' agency received its clearest expression in terms of proverbs about extended family / friends. Thus the language ideologies concerning “community” showed the following frame issues (boundaries): 1. Tension over where the speech community should position itself along the individualism-collectivism continuum; 2. Scripts against individualism; 3. Preponderance of adaptations for smaller-scale collectives.

▼ “Heartbreak and Precipitation” confronts an affective position that in its articulation and representation defeats and defines the limits of its possibility. Performing a theoretical ethnographic position, voice, and imagination, the work/labour of the project is trying to navigate itself successfully (ethically) through the affective, class, and aesthetic registers it crosses in the cities its finds itself in as it makes sense of them as spaces and has them come to be as objects of knowledge. As cartographic method, it tries to find itself from the inside by marking out a range of texts – from Benjamin’s “The Arcades Project”, Marx’s “Capital”, to C. W. Mills “On Intellectual Craftsmanship” – these knotted up with fields of artifacts such as Red Wing boots, Dial liquid hand soap, non-dairy coffee creamer, and a roomful of palm trees; together a speculative mapping of affective territories with well contained limits of potential and possibility.

▼ This thesis examines public involvement in socio-technical controversies from a sociological perspective. Public engagement in science and technology is becoming increasingly important in societies where citizens are asked, and expected, to be involved with issues that have been dominated by experts. In New Zealand, a contemporary example of public participation in science and technology is the large-scale road building programme called the Roads of National Significance. The central aim of this thesis is to understand how the public engage with and create meaningful evaluations of complex issues that are associated with expert-driven politics and top-down decision-making processes. I examine the public’s involvement in the Kāpiti expressway project by discussing how locally-based groups evaluated and publicised it as an object of concern. Specifically, I investigate the demonstration and visual imagery technologies that were utilised to publicise the expressway as a public matter. I then explore how opponents translated their concerns with the environmental, political, and social aspects of the project as legal and technical issues. The second aim of this thesis is to contribute to the material turn in the human sciences by engaging with object-oriented (Barry, 2013; Latour, 2005a; Marres & Lezaun, 2011) and socio-
cultural (Boltanski & Thévenot, 2006) approaches to public involvement in socio-technical controversies. The role that technologies play in materialising public participation and re-presenting the Kāpiti expressway project as an object of concern are examined. However, to create a dialogue between object-oriented and socio-
cultural approaches to public dispute, I investigate the technologies of justification and criticism, and the
cultural modes of evaluation that qualify people and things within moral vocabularies. I argue that the public were obliged to re-present the Kāpiti expressway as an object of concern by demonstrating how their personal objections were relevant to the legal and technical aspects of the project. A range of technological devices enabled local groups to evaluate the project during the early planning stages of the project, but convincing decision-makers to reject the expressway involved the difficult task of critiquing the planning process, and enrolling allies. This thesis uses a qualitative, case study approach to socio-technical controversies. I use interviews, qualitative observations, and documentary methods to examine the actions of locally-based groups and the modes of evaluation used to challenge the Kāpiti expressway project.

▼ The following exploratory project used a qualitative mixed method approach by means of a preliminary blog analysis of thirty-seven blogs and twenty-five semi-structured interviews for data collection on individuals known as digital nomads. The theoretical foundations of this study are centered on practice theory, structuration theory, as well as discussions surrounding
cultural identity. The project’s aim is to increase our understanding of the digital nomad phenomenon by asking four research questions: Who are the digital nomads? How is digital nomadism practiced? Why choose to live on the move? Is digital nomadism sustainable? The discussion includes how the digital nomad identity is transformed and practiced and how it differs from its popularized media stereotype, how and why individuals are choosing to live and work location independently, and includes a partial determination if this choice is shifting into a new sustainable way of life.
The project revealed a relationship between individualism, mobility, and loneliness. The data suggests that participants are constantly searching for a sense of belonging, for a community to generate social solidarity. Unfortunately, digital communities alone do not appear sufficient in this task, and constant movement presents a barrier to more meaningful relationships. This results in a need for deeper non-computer-mediated human interaction, and eventually the decision to become semi-nomadic. Additionally, three self-identification categories were used by participants, each with distinguishable meanings, tensions, and uses: location independent, digital nomad, and global citizen. The key element that bonds this group together is the freedom ideology; an ideological sense of occupational and geographical autonomy gained by eschewing their previous sociocultural constraints in favor of others which allow for more individualized control. This desire to govern one’s own path is also indicative of late-modernity which presents a climate of general mistrust towards institutional systems, both formal and informal. Findings suggest that the act of living in a fully neo-nomadic manner are indeed economically sustainable, however emotionally less so.

▼ In this thesis, I explore the phenomenon of unofficial philosophy seminars in socialist Czechoslovakia, focusing on the period from 1968 to 1989. After the democratizing movement known as the Prague Spring was terminated by Soviet military intervention in August 1968, intellectuals who supported the reforms were marginalised in their workplaces and often removed. More generally, people associated with the emerging anti-Communist opposition had slim chances of enrolling at university courses or acquiring a university job. Rather than giving up on their academic aspirations, these intellectuals began organising a parallel intellectual life, usually in the form of study groups, with former or aspiring academics lecturing on topics as different as robotics and literary theory. Philosophy was at the forefront of this movement, especially thanks to an intense clandestine connection with Western academics from Oxford University, which was initiated by the Czechoslovaks in 1979. Between 1979 and 1989, dozens of British, French, German and Dutch (among them well-known figures such as Ernest Gellner, Jurgen Habermas, or Jacques Derrida) academics crossed the 'iron curtain' on a tourist visa to lecture in the flats of Czechoslovak dissidents. This thesis focuses on the situation in Prague, where the scene of unofficial philosophy was the most active - and where unofficial philosophers were, at the same, under the most intensive pressure from state authorities. To explore this phenomenon, I relied on a combination of interviews with former participants, original philosophy reviews from samizdat journals, the archive of a supporting Jan Hus Educational Foundation founded in 1979 at Oxford University, and the files of the Czechoslovak secret police. Through qualitative hermeneutic analysis of these sources, I created a historical interpretive ethnography of unofficial philosophy seminars which combines the reconstruction of social interactions with the reconstruction of their meanings. My approach challenges the conventional sociological theories of intellectuals, such as those of Pierre Bourdieu and Randall Collins, which present intellectuals as actors interested predominantly in their own success in the global disciplinary scene or realising the ambitions of their social stratum. However, as I argue, such an approach cannot account for unofficial philosophers who had relatively little to gain from their activities, but quite a lot to lose due to intense interest of the secret police, especially with regard to their international connections. To properly understand unofficial philosophers, it is necessary to look closely on the meanings they articulated and the processes by which they articulated them. To explore these, I use the theory of performance developed by the Strong Program school in cultural sociology. I argue, however, that instead of looking at 'spotlight' performances that draw large audiences in extraordinary moments and were so far the main focus of analyses using this theory, it is useful also for analysing…

Recent scholarship and public policy ask arts to drive economic growth for urban revitalization; this perspective takes positive social interaction as a given within the larger project of arts-based urban economic development. However, the social life of community arts organizations provide another lens to explore the role of art and arts organizations within the contemporary city. Within the fractured context of American cities (racial and ideological segregation), community arts provide a testing ground for social interaction across demographic difference: a place where "culture builds community" (Stern & Siefert, 2002), albeit not unproblematically. This dissertation explores democratic practices around diversity within majority-white urban community arts organizations devoted to progressive social change. Based on fieldwork, interviews, and archival research conducted at three Philadelphia nonprofit organizations over the course of eight years, I ask how progressive community arts organizations function as learning spaces, mediate and reproduce social difference, and enable new relationships with the city. Community arts play a unique role in the organization of the city, and in service of progressive urban transformation; they are also sites of social reproduction of power, privilege, and inequality. Social reproduction takes on the guise of racialized conflict, but is actually rooted in failed rituals. Along with highlighting the importance of ritual, the paths of conflict, and the contradictory processes that shape community arts organizations, my research draws attention to the multiplicity of urban identity and the role of art and culture in creating real and imagined cities.

▼ Mestrado em Sociologia
Em contexto de profunda globalização, o cinema permanece como uma das indústrias culturais mais apreciadas e lucrativas, com um alcance potencialmente mundial. Comporta e difunde representações, valores e significados que reforçam a importância da diversidade cultural nesta forma de expressão artística. A discussão teórica tem-se repartido essencialmente entre os autores que vêem na disseminação massificada dos produtos culturais uma ameaça de homogeneização e, pelo contrário, aqueles para quem a tendência de uniformização não coloca em causa a subsistência das culturas locais. No plano político-institucional, a Convenção sobre a Proteção e a Promoção da Diversidade das Expressões Culturais, promovida pela UNESCO, foi o culminar de uma longa disputa entre países defensores da absoluta liberalização do mercado e os que reivindicam a especificidade dos bens culturais e a implementação de medidas de regulação. Em termos empíricos o tema não se encontra suficientemente estudado, pelo que o objetivo deste trabalho consiste na análise extensiva e multidimensional da diversidade cultural no panorama cinematográfico à escala mundial a partir de estatísticas oficiais. A hipótese é a de que globalmente existe reduzida diversidade e forte concentração na produção, distribuição, exibição e consumo de cinema, sobretudo em função da predominância de títulos norte-americanos. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese enunciada, de forma menos vincada em contextos onde existe maior relevância e dinamismo do cinema nacional, e traduzem-se não só num conhecimento mais profundo do tópico como num barómetro que pode orientar futuras decisões político-culturais em relação ao cinema.
In a context of profound globalization, cinema remains one of the most popular and lucrative cultural industries, with a potentially global reach. Carries and spreads representations, values and meanings that reinforce the importance of cultural diversity regarding this form of artistic expression. Theoretical discussion is mainly divided between authors who consider mass dissemination of cultural products a threat of homogenization and, on the other hand, those for whom the trend of uniformity does not jeopardize the subsistence of local cultures. At the political-institutional level, UNESCO’s Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions was the culmination of a long dispute between countries promoting an absolute liberalization of the market and those claiming the specificity of cultural goods and the implementation of regulatory measures. Empirically, the subject is not sufficiently studied, so the aim of this work is to carry an extensive and multidimensional analysis of cultural diversity in worldwide film panorama working with official statistics. The hypothesis is that globally there is reduced diversity and strong concentration on production, distribution, exhibition and consumption of cinema, mainly due to the predominance of North American films. Results confirm the hypothesis stated, to a…

▼ The number of spoken languages throughout the world is steadily decreasing, as children do not learn the language of their parents, resulting in endangered and lost languages. The Nagu language in the Solomon Islands is an example of such a threatened language. The goal of this thesis is to explain the reasons behind the endangerment of Nagu. With the introduction of schools in the last generation, Solomon Islands Pijin is spoken widely in domains once dominated by Nagu, especially the home. For many generations, Nagu speakers intermarried with speakers of other languages and learned each other's languages. Now with the knowledge of Pijin from school, it is no longer necessary to learn Nagu. Instead, parents in mixed marriages primarily speak Pijin with one another and with their children. This results in children who speak Pijin as a primary language. This thesis explains the findings caused by this generational shift pattern. It also explores other factors affecting the endangerment of Nagu including the Nagu speakers' perceptions of the language and identity tied to it. Finally, it makes some recommendations for possible language preservation should the Nagu speakers choose to work to maintain their Nagu language.

▼ In this series of works I have examined the contrast between the visible, the ephemeral, the auditory—and the temporal marks of identity. In response to being catcalled by random predatory men, and also as a coping mechanism, I devised a method for the construction of identity, discerning how I would allow myself to be named, and exploring new means of self-portraiture. I restricted my diet, exercised and waited, wearing a different perfume during each performance, until I was catcalled. I took the syntax of the catcall, created appropriated text poems through research into the history of perfumery, and the relationship to the body. Underneath the visually sterile text document, I presented crystallized scented sculptures as a form of non-representational self-portraiture culminating in the exhibition <i>Par</i>, Through, <i>Fumm</i>, Smoke.

▼ This research focuses on the perceptions of disability amongst the Tarahumara, known amongst themselves as the Rarámuri, in the Sierra Madre region of Northern Chihuahua. This population of individuals has typically lived in isolated areas in communities in the Sierra Madre where medical and specialized educational services were rare. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions, knowledge and beliefs related to disabilities, as well as the access and beliefs related to educational and medical services. The study focused on the individual and the society to examine how bodily conceptions influence perceptions of others. The target group for this research was individuals who have resided in the Sierra Madre and migrated to Chihuahua City, Mexico. Results of the study include that individuals with disabilities are likely to have mild disabilities as opposed to severe disabilities. Moreover, the results of the study show that educational and medical services for individuals with disabilities are limited. Additional results demonstrate that disabilities are perceived as religious and superstitious phenomena. Further, the results indicate that the social and physical environment for individuals with disabilities is one of harshness and invisibility with a lack of accessible services. The data reveal that the Rarámuri are a very private and closed social group. In addition, religion and having a healthy community are important to many Rarámuri. The Rarámuri are a collective society where the individual comes second to the collective group.

▼ Institutionalization of <i>bullerengue</i>, which is a traditional Afro-Colombian music and dance practice, is a process that emerged in the Colombian Urabá region over the past three decades, and that has radically transformed the ways in which this musical expression was traditionally performed. In the past, the communities administered <i> bullerengue</i> as part of their public celebrations or private festivities. However, since the 1980s, due to a decline in its practice caused by the arrival of new musics to the region, a group of institutions participated in an institutional cultural revival that, adhering to recent national policies of decentralization, took care of its management. The most visible expressions of this institutional framework are the <i>bullerengue</i> festivals, managed by local NGOs, and the local <i>bullerengue</i> schools, which are funded by local governments through <i>casas de la cultura</i>. I argue that, even though institutionalization of <i>bullerengue</i> in the region prevented this musical tradition from disappearing, a group of local cultural workers, regional private investors, and local politicians contextualized this musical practice within a framework of social, political, and economic relations, which many times neglect the needs of <i>bullerengue </i> practitioners to serve private interests. Nonetheless, <i> bullerengue</i> practitioners contest the institutional framework through performance strategies, like street <i>bullerengue</i> practices, which empower them as social group and strengthen solidarity and agency within a regional community of performers. Generally speaking, though, even though practices have revitalized, the support provided by the <i>bullerengue </i> institutions has not empowered this community in the self-management of their cultural traditions and, therefore, their members have constructed a set of proposals and ideas to make the framework fit better with their felt needs. This thesis is an analysis and a critique of such power relationships in the frame of a contemporary Latin American democracy.

▼ This paper presents a research dissertation into the importance of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) as originally defined by Earley and Ang (2003) in the intent of expatriate international school teachers working in Latin America to renew their contracts through its impact on adaptability and job satisfaction for these educators. The need to improve teacher retention, as well as identify qualified candidates is first discussed, along with the factors that have been identified in leading to better teacher retention. A discussion of Embeddedness and the specific aspects of Person-Job fit (P-J fit), Person-Host Culture fit (P-HC fit), and Person-Organization fit (P-O fit) as mediating factors is also presented, leading to the questioning of the potential predictive capacity of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) in the success of overseas teaching candidates due to the effect that CQ may have on teacher adaptation and on both job satisfaction, and subsequent intention to renew their contract. A representative, self-selected sample from the roughly 1300 teachers in the 64 school Tri-Association of private American international schools in Latin America was surveyed, with the data analyzed using a survey instrument based on previously validated instruments relating to the various variables involved. Analyses of the data include a descriptive analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, bivariate t-test analysis and multivariate regression and multiple regression analyses of the data and Sobel tests for mediation to explore the various possible relationships among the variables. The study identified statistically significant Pearson’s correlations among the Aggregate measure of CQ with both Job Satisfaction and Intent to Renew Contract and with Embeddedness and its component parts of Person-Job Fit, Person-Organization Fit and Person-Host Culture Fit. As well, statistically significant correlations were found among Metacognitive CQ and Motivational CQ with Job Satisfaction and Motivational CQ with Intent to Renew Contract. Simple regressions confirmed the statistical significance of CQ with regards to both Job Satisfaction and Intent to Renew Contract, and despite the low level of shared variation it was nonetheless of practical significance. Once hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted, including the mediating variable of Embeddedness, and its specific facets of Person-Job Fit, Person-Organization Fit and person Host-Culture Fit, CQ was found to hold no unique statistical significance whether examined as an Aggregate measure or as the 4 distinct factors with Embeddedness found to fully mediate the effects of CQ on both Job Satisfaction and Intent to Renew Contract. The full models, however, did account for a statistically significant variation in both Job Satisfaction and Intent to Renew Contract to noteworthy levels. Sobel tests further confirmed the statistically significant mediating effect of Embeddedness and the Fit variables in the construct for both Job Satisfaction and Intent to Renew Contract with regards…

▼ Contemporary policing practices focuses on the use of crime and risk analysis tools that are facilitating profound changes in the ways in which police and citizens understand risk and criminality. This ethnography investigated the ways in which new policing policy and practice act to reshape relationships between police and public and, in turn, reformulate definitions and expectations of: police officers, community members, crime and criminality. Based on fifteen months of sustained ethnographic research with police officers in Canada, this dissertation pulls together experiences of police officers and police trainers, as well as crime analysts, academics, and community members, to present a text as much about police work as it is about reckoning, reconciliation, and punishment within the therapeutic state. To capture the ways in which policing is brought about through particular practices in certain settings—how policing is enacted—this dissertation moves between various police settings. In so doing, it offers a glimpse into the policing milieu in Canada and argues that a novel type of policing practice, threat-based policing, has emerged. This form of policing relies strongly on anticipatory practices as it enrolls police into what is offered as a new and highly targeted form of police practice. Building on the anthropology of police and crime along with risk theory and security studies literatures, this dissertation focuses on specific crime prevention and reduction programs many of which rely on collaborations between community, police and social service agencies. Often contentious, these forms of policing come with ongoing training regimes to condition police and residents to become collaborating subjects of crime prevention. To understand police work and the daily tasks of governance speaks to contemporary statecraft. This project investigates state craft in crisis and the emerging policing practices therein.

▼ In the early 21st century of global, technological, and highly competitive national economies, foreign ownership of United States companies is more prevalent than ever. Over fifty years of cultural business studies reflect that learning from other cultures is one of the most effective ways of getting new ideas for management, organization, politics, technological innovation, and economic growth; however due to cultural misconceptions and missed cues multi-national corporate understandings and collegiality seldom occur. What are the cultural disconnects between affiliated companies of different countries that cause these often inexplicable and frustrating conflicts and contradictions within the workplace? This study focuses on the national cultural influence an international French parent company effects upon the organizational culture of its American subsidiary corporation. Unique to this culture-driven research is a qualitative approach to inquiry utilizing the interpretive ethnomethodology of agile ethnography (Skovira, 2012), a conceptualized theory of an interactive form of participant observation implemented and bounded within the workplace.

▼ West Bank Palestinian immigrants to the United States transitioned from economic immigrants to exiles in the aftermath of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967. A portion of these exiles established a community across parts of New York and New Jersey. Despite being economically integrated, the community continues to identify itself as exiles into the second generation longing for a Palestinian state in their ancestral home. Tensions exist for this immigrant group that believes the United States, through its support of Israel in its foreign policy, is partially responsible for their continued exile. Yet, the United States is place they were granted rights, citizenship, and their children call “our country.” Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2001-2007, the social networks, everyday lives, and personal narratives of Palestinian-Americans are documented and analyzed to trace the processes by which a sense of exile is fostered among the second-generation of American-born Palestinians without compromising their sense of being American. This dissertation argues that the duality of attachments to being Palestinian and American is mutually reinforcing. Being the “other” at Israeli borders and checkpoints and in the United States after the 9/11-backlash set the environment in which Palestinian-Americans have found it necessary to fight to affirm both aspects of their status and identity. Nonetheless, the dissertation argues against the notion of “reactive ethnicity,” whereby Palestinian-Americans only feel as such because of the obstacles and political barriers they face. An alternative perspective is proposed based on Charles Tilly's conceptualization of “trust networks.” Despite their name, trust networks are based on the amount of risk involved in maintaining the group's cohesion. For Palestinian-Americans, the costs involved in remaining together are much higher than disbanding, yet they resist. This dissertation identifies three primary mechanisms that build boundaries around the community from within and in the process produce its dual identification, namely: surveillance and gossip, financial transaction, and competition. Ultimately, exile is demonstrated to be a set of practices instead of an exclusive psychological state, which in turn allows for other identifications, even seemingly contradictory ones, to co-exist.

▼ More than three decades of linguistic research on the use of English in Singapore has revealed local linguistic features that define a range of varieties of Singapore English (SE). At one end of this range lies Standard Singapore English (SSE), a variety grammatically similar to other standard varieties of English, which is prominently used in formal contexts, such as education and the media. At the other end lies Colloquial Singapore English (CSE), which may be the only variety used by some speakers, although typically it is an informal variety used among family and friends that differs markedly from standard varieties of English in a number of elements of the phonology, syntax, and lexicon. Yet despite this substantial prior work on the characteristics and social practice of Singapore English, there are a number of important questions about this linguistically complex community that remain unanswered, or controversial. Can the diversity of features and varieties of SE be adequately addressed in terms of prevailing sociolinguistic models that are focused on monolingual communities? Or, are the varieties of CSE and SSE so dissimilar as to require distinct linguistic rules drawn from two or more different mental grammars? How do speakers operate dynamically in so rich a linguistic landscape, making choices from among their wide repertoires? Can theoretical models such as diglossia or a lectal continuum adequately capture the sociolinguistic topography of Singapore English? This dissertation examines these issues, looking at the ways in which English-medium educated Chinese Singaporeans vary their speech for different purposes and discourse contexts. I undertake a quantitative analysis of several social and linguistic variables, to provide substantive and precise measures of the linguistic homogeneity or heterogeneity of these speakers’ repertoires. Speakers’ evaluative beliefs about the varieties of Singapore English are also examined qualitatively, and their individual behavior is situated with respect to the sociolinguistic demands of their personal circumstances. The results show several features of CSE and SSE that are sufficiently different as to suggest that they derive from distinct rules or mental grammars, implicating a higher level of diversity than that assumed in conventional models of style-shifting.

▼ This study examines how societal and organizational culture influences the acculturation process in cross-border acquisitions. The acquisition of a 30-year-old, well established family-owned business in India by a relatively new, ten year-old American firm provided the focus for the research. A qualitative approach was used incorporating on-site interviews and observations at locations in the United States and India, and analysis of archival data and documentation. The results of this research provide interesting findings that give insights into the role of both societal and organizational culture in the integration and blending of two organizations from different geographic regions of the world. Three findings expressed how the organizational culture of the acquiring firm influences acculturation. There were also three findings on how the organizational culture of the acquired firm influences the acculturation process. These findings from the acquiring firm reveal that standardizing processes, a willingness to change strategy, and investing in training and development of employees are key to successful acculturation. The study also found in the acquired organization that a strong identification with the organization, adaptability, and eagerness to learn aided the acculturation process, as did scenarios in which employees were accustomed to following directives of superiors. Two findings were identified relating to how the societal culture of the acquiring firm affects the acculturation process, along with an additional two findings to how the societal culture of the acquired firm affects the acculturation process. The findings regarding the role of the influence of societal culture affirm previous studies asserting that the culture of a society influences that of organizations nestled within it. The findings from this study support the conclusions that (1) societal culture has a direct influence on organizational culture; (2) organizations must embrace adaptability, and (3) both societal and organizational culture impact the timeframe of the acculturation process. These conclusions are significant, as they begin to close the gap in the literature related to the role of societal and organizational culture in the acculturation process in cross-border acquisitions. Implications for additional research and for practitioners are also identified.

▼ There has been little research on the subjective experience of punk identity. Popular interpretations of the punk often lack depth and have often been regarded as inaccurate when compared to the experiences described by the punks themselves (O'Hara, 1999). The present study provides an in-depth examination of the experience of punk subcultural identity by self-identified punks. Four women and eight men between the ages of 27 and 52, all San Francisco Bay Area residents, described their experience of developing a punk identity through semi-structured interviews. A conventional qualitative content analysis of these semi-structured interviews identified five common main themes, which also appear to outline a developmental identity progression: Punk as rejection, Punk as a response to a feeling of alienation, Punk as empowerment, Punk as community, and Punk as a quest for an authentic self. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of Punk literature and various models of identity development.

▼ Although Uganda leads Africa in combating the AIDS epidemic, thousands of children have lost their parents to this disease. The government is welcoming international development projects within its borders, including those providing opportunities for education and sustainable development. This thesis analyzes the activities and value of a Christian-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) providing medical, spiritual, economic and educational services to orphan families and their caregivers. Relying on ethnographic data collected from rural families, local social workers, and international aid workers over a two year period, I argue that by using local resources this NGO cultivates new skills and the agency to lead healthier lives. After an eight month period, families see positive changes such as higher income, lower reported illnesses, and higher turnout at school, work, and church.

▼ In this dissertation, I address the social organization and social attachments of a group of older street youth in Durban, South Africa. I look to their participation in a newly emergent, institutional order in South Africa: the "informal" street shelter. Established <i>for</i> youth <i> by</i> youth, informal shelters are places where street youth congregate to mitigate the daily hardships of urban poverty. These sites of inhabitation typically occur within condemned, gutted, or burnt-out buildings. As such, informal shelters are unstable spaces of accommodation, prone to state-sanctioned demolition. Informal shelters operate outside the purview of the state, outside the regulatory ambit of supervising adults. Yet by no means do informal shelters figure as a counter-structure built in opposition to the beliefs or practices of South African society at large. Rather, the youth who utilize informal shelters purposively recreate the alliances of their upbringings. They reconstruct the moral communities of their past. Informal shelters, in short, reflect familiar, recognizable routines of everyday domesticity. This dissertation addresses the emergence, the sustainability, and the imminent demise of one informal shelter, known as Point Place. Located in the metropolis of Durban, Point Place accommodates more than an hundred street youth at any given time. The daily survival of the Point Place youth hinges on their attachments with one another. They often express these attachments through the idiom of kin. As kin, the youth of Point Place create reciprocal ties of obligation that enables them to make legitimizing claims on one another's productive and reproductive capabilities. Kinship, in this context, reflects strategies of both choice and compulsion, whereby street youth constantly rework the boundaries of their social relatedness. As such, I address kinship as a highly subjective and contested process of belonging. The contestations of kin apply to the home situations of street youth as well. Here they cannot reinterpret the restraints of their relatedness. They can, however, renounce their filial obligations. And they do so by running away—to remake their own visions of home on the streets.

▼ This dissertation investigates relations between gender and culture in the context of women's intentional communities: residential communities composed entirely of women. Women's intentional communities provide a rich field for discussing issues of gender, culture, and the deliberate production of cultural difference. Using interview data and participant observation at several field sites, I explore these issues and focus on four main theoretical questions: (1) The cultures of women's lands are to an important degree consciously created, discussed, and changed by land-women. The production of cultural difference is deliberate and, moreover, there is constant meta-discussion and self-awareness about that production by my informants. Ideas about the production of culture within anthropology still often focus on culture as unconscious or outside the scope of individual daily activities; yet here I focus on how individual women strategize to produce cultural difference. (2) Women's lands are not isolated bubbles of culture, nor are they a network of cultures which function without respect to the matrix cultures in which they are enmeshed. There is cultural exchange between the matrix cultures of the United States and women's lands. (3) Because of the greater "weight" of the matrix culture, there are ways in which it influences the cultures of women's-lands that go largely (although not entirely) undiscussed. These invisible or doxic pressures are among the hardest to resist and change within women's-land cultures, and sometimes represent ideas either adopted or not fully questioned by women's-land cultures. (4) Culture and gender are intertwined, in both matrix United States cultures and within women's-land cultures, and much of the cultural difference between these stems from different gender structures. Gender and gender relations are different within a single-sex community, and occur in ways that are not possible within the larger matrix of the United States. Furthermore, although some gender ideas from the matrix culture still persist, large parts of the doxa of femaleness and femininity are challenged by the fact that on women's land, women are the norm and the unmarked category.

▼ This dissertation investigates the normative construction of a politics of language and community in north-west Wales (United Kingdom). It is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted primarily between January 2007 and April 2008, with central participant-observation settings in primary-level state schools and in the teaching-spaces and hallways of a university. Its primary finding is an account of the gap between the national visibility and the cultural (in)visibility communities of speakers of the indigenous language of Wales (Cymraeg, or “Welsh”). With one exception, no public discourse has yet emerged in Wales that provides an explicit framework or vocabulary for describing the cultural community that is anchored in Cymraeg. One has to live those meanings even to know about them. The range of social categories for living those meanings tends to be constructed in ordinary conversations as some form of <i>nationalism,</i> whether political, cultural, or language <i>nationalism.</i> Further, the negatively valenced category of nationalism current in English-speaking Britain is in tension with the positively valenced category of nationalism current among many who move within Cymraeg-speaking communities. Thus, the very politics of identity are themselves political since the line between what is political and what is not, is itself subject to controversy. The result is what I call the “submergence” of Cymraeg-oriented cultural communities: People who would say Cymraeg is an essential part of their personality and communities mark out cultural space for their sense of continuity (to the past, to others) in ways that do not require <i>or enable</i> them to make any substantive cultural claims. Within these settings of a modalized Welsh culture—always only partially expressed— indigeneity and ethnic difference are symbolized by the emblematic and lived importance of Cymraeg, while the significance of Cymraeg tends to be implicitly conveyed by means of overt references to “Welshness”. This cultural submergence of the resources for Cymraeg-centered identity seems motivated and sustained by the fact that it produces a haven from holiday-goers and English patriots who do not value Welsh cultural features as highly as do those who take pride in the Cymraeg-centered cultural community. In light of these features of local life, I suggest several terms of art—including “language demesne” and “language corridor”—because they are more fitting of local politics than is the idea of a (global) language community. This dissertation also contributes a theoretical basis for examining the pragmatics of language communities, which requires differentiating phenomenal-level semiotic analyses from investigations of the dynamics of cultural discourse. The “obvious” empirical situation in Wales—as analyzed using a Peircean-phenomenological semiotics—runs contrary to the relatively opaque and…

▼ This dissertation examines the social and interactional foundations of a grammatical divergence between Tactile American Sign Language (TASL) and Visual American Sign Language (VASL) in the Seattle DeafBlind community. I argue that as a result of the pro-tactile movement, structures of interaction have been reconfigured and a new language has begun to emerge. Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic research, more than 190 hours of videorecordings of interaction and language use, 50 interviews with members of the community, and more than 14 years of involvement in a range of capacities, I analyze this social transformation and its effect on the semiotic organization of TASL. I identify two processes as requisite for the emergence of TASL: <i> deictic integration and embedding in the social field.</i> Deictic integration involves the coordination of grammatical systems with modes of access and orientation that are reciprocal across a group of language-users. Embedding in the social field involves: (1) the legitimation of the language for taking up valued social roles, along with the embodied knowledge necessary for doing so, and (2) authorization of some language-users to evaluate linguistic forms and communicative practices as correct or not. In this dissertation, I track these processes among DeafBlind people and I show how they are leading to new mechanisms for referring to the immediate environment and tracking referents across a stream of discourse (Chapter 7), new rules for the formation of lexical signs (Chapter 8), and a new system for generating semiotically complex signs, which incorporate both linguistic and non-linguistic elements (Chapter 9). In order to understand the social and interactional foundations of these emergent systems, I examine the history of two institutions around which the Seattle DeafBlind community was built (Chapter 3). In Chapter 4, I show how social roles, given by the history of those institutions, were reconfigured by DeafBlind leaders and how this led to changes in modes of access and orientation (Chapters 5 and 6). I argue that as relations between linguistic, deictic, and social phenomena grew tighter and more restricted, a new tactile language began to emerge. I therefore apprehend language emergence not as a process of liberation or abstraction from context, but as a process of contextual integration (Chapter 1).
