  1. Not Yet Queer Enough: The Lessons of Queer Theory for the Sociology of Gender and Sexuality.Stephen Valocchi - 2005 - Gender and Society 19 (6):750-770.
    This article gauges the progress that sociologists of gender and sexuality have made in employing the insights of queer theory by examining four recent monographs that have utilized aspects of queer theory in their empirical work: Rupp and Taylor, Seidman, Bettie, and Schippers. The article uses the insights of queer theory to push the monographs in an even “queerer” theoretical direction. This direction involves taking more seriously the nonnormative alignments of sex, gender, sexuality, resisting the tendency to essentialize identity or (...)

  • Accountably Other: Trust, Reciprocity and Exclusion in a Context of Situated Practice.Anne Warfield Rawls & Gary David - 2005 - Human Studies 28 (4):469-497.
    The first part of this paper makes five points: First, the problem of Otherness is different and differently constructed in modern differentiated societies. Therefore, approaches to Otherness based on traditional notions of difference and boundary between societies and systems of shared belief will not suffice; Second, because solidarity can no longer be maintained through boundaries between ingroup and outgroup, social cohesion has to take a different form; Third, to the extent that Otherness is not a condition of demographic, or belief (...)

  • Toy stories: Downsizing American masculinity.Thomas L. Dumm - 1997 - Cultural Values 1 (1):81-100.
    This essay examines the contemporary masculinity of straight, white men in the business classes of the United States as a category of identity. I argue that this form of masculine identity is currently in crisis, and, through a reading of the 1995 film Toy Story, develop an argument about the value of ‘downsizing’ masculinity in an era of diminished work expectations.

  • The Decline in Shared Collective Conscience as Found in the Shifting Norms and Values of Etiquette Manuals.Seth Abrutyn & Michael J. Carter - 2015 - Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 45 (3):352-376.
    In this article we address Emile Durkheim's theory that norms and values become more generalized and abstract in a society as it becomes more complex and differentiated. To test Durkheim's theory we examine etiquette manuals—the common texts that define normative manners and morals in American society. We perform a deductive content analysis on past and present etiquette manuals to understand what changes have occurred regarding shifting behavioral norms and values over time. Our findings suggest that a change has occurred in (...)
