Recognizing chilliness: How schemas of inequality shape views of culture and climate in work environmentsAmerican Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 6 - Trang 125-160 - 2016
Erin A. Cech, Mary Blair-Loy, Laura E. Rogers
Why are some people more likely than others to recognize hostile or unfair interactions in local environments such as their workplaces? We argue that awareness of chilly climates is not simply a tally of instances of discrimination but an interpretive process framed by cultural schemas of inequality, deeply held cultural accounts of broad ascriptive group differences.

A virus as an icon: the 2020 pandemic in imagesAmerican Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 451-461 - 2020
Sonnevend, Julia
The 2020 coronavirus pandemic is puzzling from a visual point of view. There are millions of photographs published about the crisis every day, yet we can see the key actor, the virus, only in artistic representations. Most of us also have very restricted access to central sites of the crisis, as intensive care units, nursing homes, meat packing plants and prisons are often not available for photog...... hiện toàn bộ

The Performance and Reception of Race-Based Athletic Activism: Toward a Critical, Dramaturgical Theory of SportAmerican Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 10 - Trang 543-569 - 2022
Douglas Hartmann, Alex Manning, Kyle Green
The emergence of an unprecedented wave of race-based athletic activism in the last decade presents the opportunity to formulate a more critical, cultural theory of the significance and socio-political function of sport in contemporary life. We begin by centering athlete agency and highlighting the distinctive performative, communicative, and symbolic opportunities that sport affords. However, athl...... hiện toàn bộ
