Every night, somewhere in the world, three or four musicians will climb on stage together. Whether the gig is at a jazz club, a bar, or a bar mitzvah, the performance never begins with a note, but with a question. The trumpet player might turn to the bassist and ask, ''Do you know Body and Soul'?'' - and from there the subtle craft of playing the jazz repertoire is tested in front of a live audience. These ordinary musicians may never have pla...

Howard S. Becker erzählt auf persönliche und unterhaltsame Weise von Möglichkeiten, über Forschung nachzudenken und sie voranzutreiben. Dazu schöpft er aus seinem Erfahrungswissen.Die größten Feinde des soziologischen Denkens sind, so Howard S. Becker, Konventionen - soziale wie wissenschaftliche. Statt zu vertiefter Erkenntnis zu verhelfen, stehen sie ihr oft eher im Weg. Doch es gibt den einen oder anderen Trick, um Denkroutinen zu erkennen,...

Howard S. Becker zählt zu den wichtigsten US-amerikanischen Soziologen der Gegenwart.

Becker hat nicht nur höchst einflussreiche Schriften u.a. zur soziologischen Methodologie, zur Soziologie der Professionen, des Abwe...

Outsìders" è un classico, forse il classico, della sociologia della devianza. Ma anche molto altro: una lettura appassionante, una descrizione di mondi, di pratiche, di interazioni. In "Outsider" non si troveranno teorie sulle cause e l'origine del crimine ma resoconti etnografici su come ci si costruisce una "carriera" da deviante, apprendendo codici e routine, nel corso del tempo e in continua interazione con le rappresentazioni proiettate d...

Students and researchers write under pressure, and those pressures - the desire to impress your audience rather than to communicate with them - often lead to pretentious prose, academic posturing, and writer's block. This title takes account of changes in computer tools and also analyses how academic institutions create problems for writers.

Symbolic interactionism, resolutely empirical in practice, shares theoretical concerns with cultural studies and humanistic discourse. Recognizing that the humanities have engaged many of the important intellectual currents of the last twenty-five years in ways that sociology has not, the contributors to this volume fully acknowledge that the boundary between the social sciences and the humanities has begun to dissolve. This challenging volume...

When is an artistic work finished? When the copyeditor makes the final correction to a manuscript, when the composer writes the last note of a symphony, or when the painter puts the last brushstroke on the canvas? Perhaps it's even later, when someone reads the work, when an ensemble performs, or when the painting is hung on a gallery wall for viewing?"Art from Start to Finish "gathers a unique group of contributors from the worlds of sociolog...

Based on three years of detailed anthropological observation, this account of undergraduate culture portrays students' academic relations to faculty and administration as one of subjection. With rare intervals in crisis moments, student life has always been dominated by grades and grade point averages. The authors of "Making the Grade "maintain that, though it has taken different forms from tune to time, the emphasis on grades has persisted in...

Among Howard Becker s favorite quotes is one he coined management is a one-word oxymoron and another uttered by Ambrose Bierce I think I think, therefore I think I am. His distrust of authority and convention is already apparent from the first, and his belief that things (or facts ) don t carry their meaning on their faces, but are relative to an observer and the observer s community, comes through in the second. His reputation as a maverick w...
