Marking Time with Nike: The Illusion of the Durable Celia Lury The brand has become a prime exemplar of the global ecumene: a symbol of cross-national commodification and the logic of simulation. In observing the movements of the Nike brand in time and space, this essay is concerned to investigate the nature of the brand, one of the most powerful formations of the contemporary cultural economy. More specifically, the essay seeks to show how it is that the brand is now one of the most significant ways in which the objective properties of things are constituted. For, as Annette Weiner (1995) argues, not only is culture itself a commodity but, "in the vast circulation of goods and ideas where boundaries evaporate and space and time are electronically compressed, things become different kinds of property" (my emphasis). Marks, Things, and Property The complete essay appears in Public Culture 11.3. Celia Lury teaches sociology at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Her recent and forthcoming works include Prosthetic Culture: Technology, Memory, and Identity (1998) and Brands: The Logos of the Global Economy (forthcoming).

This organization was founded to help solve the problems of the elderly who were often discarded after a life-time of productive or reproductive labor. It is concerned with social security, medical care, housing, nutrition and well being of elderly people. It is now the biggest union in the USA with over 40 million members. Of late, it has expanded its concerns to include children and women's needs. In so far as it calls for government support of social justice programs, it has become a serious problem for Republicans. Abortion: The process by which a pregnancy is terminated, usually within three months of conception. This activity has aroused great debate and much direct social action to prevent it. Many people argue that every life is sacred and that to abort a fetus is the same as murder. Many people believe that such activity is a matter of private concern to be decided in terms of the circumstances in which the mother and/or the father find themselves. Some countries provide abortion on demand at very low fees; other countries forbid it entirely. Some see abortion as a major device for birth control while others see it as a way to avoid collective care for unborn children. See birth control/'over' population for more things to consider. Abuse, Child: The use of force against a child to force it to obey and comply to rules or orders of adults. Often a polite synonym for child rape. It can include psychological acts which distress a child greatly.

Courses generally begin with an introduction to the goals of sociological research, and the methods used by sociologists, and some of the basic concepts about what "society" and "culture" are. political system, and many more. For example, in this course you might look at how race is related to the educational system in the United States, at how owners of businesses relateto their employees, or at who does the housework in families where both the husband and wife work full-time. A main goal of this course is to develop a "theoretical perspective" on these kinds of things; in other words, sociologists are not just interested in the "educational system" or "gender relations", but in understanding why things are the way they are, and how they came to be that way.

Connect to Sociology Homepage The sociology department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in social research. This program prepares students to participate actively and responsibly in their local communities and in society at large. The major offers students the basic knowledge, skills and opportunities to begin graduate school or careers. Social Research Students who find human behavior interesting, puzzling, and worthy of study often choose to major in social research. Sociologists study what people do when they do things together, whether they are two people relating to one another as friends or entire nations interacting in a global system. They study the social significance of social class, race, ethnicity and gender discrimination and inequality. They investigate social processes such as deviant behavior, social control and conflict. They use the qualitative and quantitative research tools of sociologists, anthropologists, and geographers. Social researchers gather empirical data that describe human institutions such as law, religion, education, the family and the health care system. Sociologists then formulate theories that understand, interpret and explain those institutions and processes. The course SOCY 124, Principles of Sociology, is a prerequisite for all sociology courses numbered 300 or above.

53. Notes On The Development Of Cultural Ecology Not suprisingly, cultural ecology has come to mean different things to different culturalmaterialism al la Harris. current interest in 'sociology of nature'. http://www.indiana.edu/~wanthro/eco.htm

Cultural Ecology Catherine Marquette INTRODUCTION THEMES HISTORY JOURNALS ... INFORMATIVE TABLES Cultural ecology is a convenient, conventional title rather than an invitation to scholarly debate" (Robert McNetting, Cultural Ecology , 1977 edition, p.vi) A premature and reflexive field Culture and ecology alone are broad topics and the nature of their linkage even broader. Not suprisingly, cultural ecology has come to mean different things to different people. McNetting saw this pluralism as 'prematurity' observing "There is only one way to explain what cultural ecology is: to show what it is doing" (ibid). In the late 1960s the first generation of anthropologists influenced by Steward came of age and arguably the first three major empirical works in cultural ecology emerged in the space of two years: Netting's own The Hill Farmers of Nigeria (1968), Roy Rappaport's Pigs for the Ancestors (1968), and John Bennett's Northern Plainsmen (1969). These early seminal works generally set the boundaries for cultural ecology as it has 'matured' over the last three decades. Because of its immature or open nature, cultural ecology has traditionally been a self-reflexive field. The methods, theories, and applications of the cultural ecology have been continually reviewed ( see for example, Sahlins 1964; Damas 1966; McNetting 1968; Vayda and Rappaport 1968; Rappaport 1971; Anderson 1973; McCay and Vadya 1975, Bennett 1976; Fricke 1986; McCay 1996).

Web.Studies: Rewiring Media Studies for the Digital Age Edited by David Gauntlett Published by Arnold, 2000 The World Wide Web has transformed the media landscape. This exciting, engaging and accessible book, written by scholars from the USA, Europe and Australia, explores the ways in which people, organisations and companies are using the Web to assert themselves in the world, and build communities of communication. This is the first book to offer students a comprehensive and coherent introduction to the new Web-based media culture. Beginning with an introduction to the Web and how it works, followed by the theories and methods of cyberculture studies, Web.Studies moves on to consider everyday Web life, art and culture, Web business, and global Web communities, politics and protest. Topics covered range from personal and fan websites, cyber-sexualities, webcams and Web-based art and entertainment, to global capitalism and the fight for Web domination, cybercrime, and internet propaganda. Uniquely, the book combines studies of the Web's artistic and creative possibilities with political, economic and international perspectives. Each chapter includes suggestions for ways in which students can use the Web to further their own research; there are also illustrations, lists of useful websites, a glossary, and a bibliography.

A New Work of Philosophy and Social Theory Cultural Software: A Theory of Ideology J.M. Balkin Cultural Software explains ideology as a result of the cultural evolution of bits of cultural knowhow, or memes. It is the first book to apply theories of cultural evolution to the problem of ideology and justice. Hardcover, 352 pages Published by Yale University Press A New Theory of Memetics and Ideology Cultural Software offers a new theory about how ideologies and beliefs grow, spread, and develop a theory of cultural evolution, which explains both shared understandings and disagreement and diversity within cultures. Cultural evolution occurs through transmission and spread of cultural information and know-how or "cultural software " in human minds. Individuals embody cultural software: they are literally information made flesh. They spread it to others through communication and social learning. Human minds and institutions provide the ecology in which cultural software grows, thrives, and develops. Human cultural software is created out of the diverse elements of cultural transmission, also known as "memes." Ideology is not a special or deviant pathology of thinking but arises from the ordinary mechanisms of human thought. Because cultural understanding is the product of evolution, it is always a patchwork quilt of older imperfect tools of understanding continually readapted to solve new problems. As a result human understanding is always partly adequate and partly inadequate to understanding and to the pursuit of justice.
