  • Editor's Introduction Seventy-Five Years of Amish Studies, 1942 to 2017
    Editor’s Introduction Seventy-Five Years of Amish Studies, 1942 to 2017: A Critical Review of Scholarship Trends (with an Extensive Bibliography) Cory Anderson1 Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology and Geography Department of Society and Environment Truman State University Abstract After 75 years, Amish studies has received no field reviews, an oversight I rectify using several citation analysis techniques. I offer criteria for defining Amish research, which results in 983 references. Amish studies has a very highly centralized core; the top one percent of cited references account for 20% of every citation in Amish studies, with Hostetler, Kraybill, Nolt, and Huntington dominating the top list. Few consolidated subareas exist, exceptions being language and health/population research. Analyzing Amish studies chronologically, the field early on accepted the definitive-sympathetic-authoritative-comprehensive-insider research approach, which legitimated “The Throne” (so-called) in Amish studies, i.e., a central scholar, a few close to him, and the irrelevant hinterlands. The seat was first occupied by Hostetler, then Kraybill. The absence of driving research questions, theory developments, and debates creates place for The Throne, whom scholars often cite to legitimize a given study emerging from an otherwise fragmented field, this field failing to provide scholars self-legitimization. Other troubles with The Throne model are also presented. My call to Amish studies is (1) to develop honed research questions that address specific sub-areas and to consider how any given reference fits into the literature, and (2) to distance our empirical work from fence-straddling popular/scholarly models, e.g. rejecting “the Amish” as a brand name, approaching the Amish as purely scholars and not partially tourists, and foregoing a protective- or reformist-mentality toward the Amish.

Abstract This thesis concerns three Amish families living in Shipshewana Indiana. This is an exploration of the idea that while they work to remain true to their roots, the identity of members of this Amish community is changing due to internal and external pressures. This project adds to the social documentary tradition by increasing discourse surrounding this culture that is often stereotyped. The final product is presented in a short documentary, including original video, photographs, and audio. Additionally, there is a community engagement component, which prompts Amish and non-Amish alike to question their understanding of this culture. This is a significant undertaking because it explores a culture whose representation is often extremely polarized, whether through misrepresentation or stereotypes. II. Introduction With a current population of 250,000, and a projection of one million by 2050, the Amish Christian population is the fastest growing faith group in the United States according to the Christian Science Monitor.

Cheryl-Anne Whitlock 16 February 2012 ii Abstract The main purpose of the thesis is to determine to what extent duty of care is extended to reality television participants, to what extent elements of reality television programming are manipulated and whether those manipulations are ethical. Program participants are encouraged to be their ‘real’ and authentic selves, yet reality programming itself is often so extensively manipulated that the genre renders its own output inauthentic, thus compromising participants’ contributions and casting their performance in the same false light.
