Social Theory's Essential Texts

THE ASA July 1998 THEORY SECTION NEWSLETTER Perspectives VOLUME 20, NUMBER 3 From the Chair’s Desk Section Officers How Do We Create Theory? CHAIR By Guillermina Jasso Guillermina Jasso s the spring semester draws to a close, and new scholarly energies are every- where visible, I want to briefly take stock of sociological theory and the CHAIR-ELECT Theory Section. It has been a splendid privilege to watch the selflessness Janet Saltzman Chafetz A and devotion with which section members nurture the growth of sociological theory and its chief institutional steward, the Theory Section. I called on many of you to PAST CHAIR help with section matters, and you kindly took on extra burdens, many of them Donald Levine thankless except, sub specie aeternitatis, insofar as they play a part in advancing socio- logical theory. The Theory Prize Committee, the Shils-Coleman Prize Committee, SECRETARY-TREASURER the Nominations Committee, and the Membership Committee have been active; the Peter Kivisto newsletter editor has kept us informed; the session organizers have assembled an impressive array of speakers and topics. And thus, we can look forward to our COUNCIL meeting in August as a time for intellectual consolidation and intellectual progress. Keith Doubt Gary Alan Fine The section program for the August meetings includes one regular open session, one Stephen Kalberg roundtables session, and the three-session miniconference, entitled “The Methods Michele Lamont of Theoretical Sociology.” Because the papers from the miniconference are likely to Emanuel Schegloff become the heart of a book, I will be especially on the lookout for discussion at the miniconference sessions that could form the basis for additional papers or discus- Steven Seidman sion in the volume. -

1 Copyright 2004 by the American Sociological Association Section on the History of Sociology
A BRIEF CENTENNIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RESOURCES ON THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY/ASSOCIATION1 Compiled by the Centennial Bibliography Project Committee2 American Sociological Association Section on the History of Sociology ELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION provides the ritual occasion and reinforces the intellectual rationale for collectively exploring our Cprofessional and organizational roots. To guide us on our way, we have compiled a brief bibliography of relevant materials and exemplars that explicate the early history of the American Sociological Society and – to some degree – its subsequent evolution (the line separating “history” from “current events” is not always easily drawn). Practicing extreme parsimony, we have intentionally excluded literally thousands of otherwise important and instructive published works that focus primarily on specific departments of sociology, the ideas and accomplishments of individual sociologists, the development of sociological theories, the general intellectual history of the discipline as a whole, and myriad other matters of obvious historical and disciplinary interest. We hasten to add, however, that the structure and practical scope of a much more inclusive bibliography is now under consideration and is soon to be implemented. In the interim, we provide here a small down payment: a narrowly defined set of references for selected articles – and still fewer monographs – that specifically address, in various ways, the founding era and subsequent evolution of the American Sociological Society as a professional organization. To these citations, we add lists of relevant journals, abstracts, indexes and databases, and append the locations of archival deposits for the first ten presidents of the American Sociological Society, with the hope of encouraging ever more scholarship on the early history of the ASS/ASA per se.3 Corrections and suggested additions to this bibliography, focused specifically on the history of the ASS/ASA, are welcomed by the committee. -

The Law of Placenta
The Law of Placenta Mathilde Cohent ABSTRACT: Of the forms of reproductive labor in which legal scholars have been interested, placenta, the organ developed during pregnancy, has been overlooked. As placenta becomes an object of value for a growing number of individuals, researchers, clinicians, biobanks, and biotech companies, among others, its cultural meaning is changing. At the same time, these various constituencies may be at odds. Some postpartum parents and their families want to repossess their placenta for personal use, while third parties use placentas for a variety of research, medical, and commercial purposes. This Article contributes to the scholarship on reproductive justice and agency by asking who should have access to placentas and under what conditions. The Article emphasizes the insufficient protection the law affords pregnant people wishing to decide what happens to their placenta. Generally considered clinical waste under federal and state law, placental tissue is sometimes made inaccessible to its producers on the ground that it is infectious at the same time as it is made available to third parties on the ground that placenta is discarded and de-identified tissue. Less privileged people who lack the ability to shop for obstetric and other pregnancy-related services that allow them to keep their placentas are at a disadvantage in this chain of supply and demand. While calling for further research on the modus operandi of placenta markets and how pregnant people think about them, this Article concludes that lawmakers should take steps to protect decision-making autonomy over placental labor and offers a range of proposals to operationalize this idea. -

The Shifting Meanings of Gift and Commodity in Hungarian Plasma Donation
The Value of Blood: The Shifting Meanings of Gift and Commodity in Hungarian Plasma Donation By Zsófia Bacsadi Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology and Social Anthropology Supervisor: Claudio Sopranzetti Second reader: Judit Sándor CEU eTD Collection Vienna, Austria 2021 Abstract Even though plasma is a component of whole blood, plasma donation as a social practice is very different from blood donation. Since plasma donation involves financial compensation and the harvested plasma goes through more complex biotechnological treatments and global economic transactions until it reaches its recipients, the Titmussian model of ‘blood as gift’ and donation as citizen-making (1970) cannot be adopted in this case. In Hungary, plasma is procured by profit- oriented organizations which creates tensions and interconnections between altruistic and economic motivations and narratives, both in the case of donors, staff, and the institution itself. Rather than extinguishing each other or the economic factors eliminating the altruistic ones, the two work in tandem in the different stages of procurement. The thesis explores how these tensions are generated and managed in a Hungarian plasma center in Budapest, how plasma is both presented as gift and commodity. Through the methods of carnal sociology (Wacquant 2014), participant observation, and semi-structured interviews it is revealed how the certain material traits of plasma, the process of donation, the interactions within the center, and the communication of the institution itself emphasizes, suppresses or ties together the altruistic or commercial aspects of plasma donation. -

HRC protocol #__________________ iii ABSTRACT Kingsley, Erin (Ph.D., English, English Department) Deliver Me: Pregnancy, Birth, and the Body in the British Novel, 1900-1950 Thesis directed by Associate Professor Jane Garrity Deliver Me: Pregnancy, Birth, and the Body in the British Novel, 1900-1950 explores three ways British novels engage with the rise of the “culture of pregnancy,” an extreme interest in reproduction occurring during the modernist movement. This culture of pregnancy was intimately facilitated by the joint explosion of dailies and periodicals and the rise of “experts,” ranging from doctors presiding over the birthing chamber to self-help books dictating how women should control their birth-giving. In response to this culture of pregnancy, some modernist writers portray the feminine reproductive body as a suffering entity that can be saved by an alignment with traditionally- coded masculine aspects of the mind.
