Players and Pawns: How Chess Builds Community and Culture
ISBN: 9780226264981 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A chess match seems as solitary an endeavor as there is in sports: two minds, on their own, in fierce opposition. In contrast, Gary Alan Fine argues that chess is a social duet: two players in silent dialogue who always take each other into account in their play. Surrounding that one-on-one contest is a community life that can be nearly as dramatic and intense as the across-the-board confrontation. Fine has spent years immersed in the communities of amateur and professional chess players, and with Players and Pawns he takes readers deep inside them, revealing a complex, brilliant,...

Morel Tales: The Culture of Mushrooming
ISBN: 9780674089358 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this thoughtful book, Gary Fine explores how Americans attempt to give meaning to the natural world that surrounds them. Although "nature" has often been treated as an unproblematic reality, Fine suggests that the meanings we assign to the natural environment are culturally grounded. In other words, there is no nature separate from culture. He calls this process of cultural construction and interpretation, "naturework." Of course, there is no denying the biological reality of trees, mountains, earthquakes, and hurricanes, but, he argues, they must be interpreted to be made meaningful....

Difficult Reputations: Collective Memories of the Evil, Inept, and Controversial
ISBN: 9780226249414 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We take reputations for granted. Believing in the bad and the good natures of our notorious or illustrious forebears is part of our shared national heritage. Yet we are largely ignorant of how such reputations came to be, who was instrumental in creating them, and why. Even less have we considered how villains, just as much as heroes, have helped our society define its values.
Presenting essays on America's most reviled traitor, its worst president, and its most controversial literary ingenue (Benedict Arnold, Warren G. Harding, and Lolita), among others, sociologist Gary Alan Fine... We take reputations for granted.

Knowing Children: Participant Observation with Minors
ISBN: 9780803933651 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. To help the researcher understand why and how children react to adults who are doing ethnographic research, Fine and Sandstrom explore the methodological and ethical problems of qualitative research with minors. They correct numerous fallacies held by researchers that children think like adults and that they cannot hide their thoughts and feelings from adults, especially strangers. Recognizing that age is an important determinant of children's response, they discuss problems and present strategies for conducting research with three age groups of children: preschool children (4 to 6 year...

ISBN: 9780226249513 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Henry Darger's elaborate paintings of young girls caught in a vicious war to the sacred art of the Reverend Howard Finster, the work of outsider artists has achieved unique status in the art world. Celebrated for their lack of traditional training and their position on the fringes of society, outsider artists nonetheless participate in a traditional network of value, status, and money. After spending years immersed in the world of self-taught artists, Gary Alan Fine presents "Everyday Genius," one of the most insightful and comprehensive examinations of this network and how it confers...

ISBN: 9780226249537 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Whether it is used as an icebreaker in conversation or as the subject of serious inquiry, "the weather" is one of the few subjects that everyone talks about. And though we recognize the faces that bring us the weather on television, how government meteorologists and forecasters go about their jobs is rarely scrutinized. Given recent weather-related disasters, it's time we find out more. In Authors of the Storm, Gary Alan Fine offers an inside look at how meteorologists and forecasters predict the weather. Whether it is used as an icebreaker in conversation or as the subject of serious inquiry, "the weather" is one of the few subjects that everyone ta... |

Whispers on the Color Line: Rumor and Race in America
ISBN: 9780520228559 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Legends are arguably the most common narrative form of folklore in American society. From sex acts to business transactions, from fashion to food, from heroes to heroin, rumors and legends take on every charged topic. Children circulate texts about toys and candy; teenagers share stories about sex, drugs, and rock and roll; young professionals commiserate over the hazards of the work world. These stories address aspects of life about which we receive mixed or ambiguous messages. Given that matters relevant to race remain confused and divisive in many corridors of American society, it is not...

A Second Chicago School?: The Development of a Postwar American Sociology
ISBN: 9780226249391 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From 1945 to about 1960, the University of Chicago was home to a group of faculty and graduate students whose work has come to define what many call a second "Chicago School" of sociology.
Like its predecessor earlier in the century, the postwar department was again the center for qualitative social research on everything from mapping the nuances of human behavior in small groups to seeking solutions to problems of race, crime, and poverty. Howard Becker, Joseph Gusfield, Herbert Blumer, David Riesman, Erving Goffman, and others created a large, enduring body of work. In this book,...
