  • Translating Expertise Across Work Contexts: U.S. Puppeteers Move
    ASRXXX10.1177/0003122420987199American Sociological ReviewAnteby and Holm 987199research-article2021 American Sociological Review 2021, Vol. 86(2) 310 –340 Translating Expertise across © American Sociological Association 2021 https://doi.org/10.1177/0003122420987199DOI: 10.1177/0003122420987199 Work Contexts: U.S. Puppeteers journals.sagepub.com/home/asr Move from Stage to Screen Michel Antebya and Audrey L. Holma Abstract Expertise is a key currency in today’s knowledge economy. Yet as experts increasingly move across work contexts, how expertise translates across contexts is less well understood. Here, we examine how a shift in context—which reorders the relative attention experts pay to distinct types of audiences—redefines what it means to be an expert. Our study’s setting is an established expertise in the creative industry: puppet manipulation. Through an examination of U.S. puppeteers’ move from stage to screen (i.e., film and television), we show that, although the two settings call on mostly similar techniques, puppeteers on stage ground their claims to expertise in a dialogue with spectators and view expertise as achieving believability; by contrast, puppeteers on screen invoke the need to deliver on cue when dealing with producers, directors, and co-workers and view expertise as achieving task mastery. When moving between stage and screen, puppeteers therefore prioritize the needs of certain audiences over others’ and gradually reshape their own views of expertise. Our findings embed the nature of expertise in experts’ ordering of types of audiences to attend to and provide insights for explaining how expertise can shift and become co-opted by workplaces. Keywords expertise, audiences, puppetry, film and television Expertise has become a fundamental currency of cases (Abbott 1988:8).

  • The Early History of Howdy Doody…Television's First
    1 | P a g e The Early History Of Howdy Doody…Television’s First Hit For those not old enough to remember, “The Howdy Doody Show” was much more than just Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody….it was the beginning of television as a brand new form of entertainment. It was radio with pictures and it was revolutionary. With a TV set and an antenna, suddenly the world could come to your living room. Although primitive by today’s standards, it was the hottest ticket on the planet, and Howdy Doody was the first hit show on television! Television’s second hit was also from NBC, and debuted 6 months after Howdy…it was “The Texaco Star Theater” with Milton Berle. They called Milton “Mr. Television,” because a lot of adults bought a set to see him. With a nation full of kids wanting to see Howdy though, you can rest assured; a lot of sets were bought to keep the children happy too. As is often the case with history, in its retelling, the waters get muddied and important facts become mangled. Before long, it’s hard to know if you are reading the truth or not. With that in mind, I have decided to retell the story of how it all started to the best of our ability, AND…I’m doing it with the help of one of America’s foremost authorities on Howdy Doody, Burt Dubrow. – Bobby Ellerbee / Eyes Of A Generation.com (Revised Dec. 28, 2016) http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 This is a 1952 photo of Buffalo Bob Smith with Howdy, and on the right, Bob Keeshan taking off his Clarabell makeup.

  • EX ALDERMAN NEWSLETTER 197 and CHESTERFIELD 142 by John
    EX ALDERMAN NEWSLETTER 197 AND CHESTERFIELD 142 By John Hoffmann October 8, 2015 LET'S FIND SOME WAY TO WASTE MORE MONEY WHILE THE CITY BUDGET IS IN THE RED: Back when I was on the Board of Aldermen in 2009 the City was about to layoff three women employees, without Mayor Dalton looking for budget cuts elsewhere. To try and save the jobs I rewrote the budget and found enough cuts to avoid cuts. My alternate budget was voted down 6-2 by the caring and thoughtful alderpersons, who clearly did not give a rat's ass about these employees. At the same time there was a push to have a new city logo. A local artist wanted several thousand dollars to come up with a new logo. The big expense was not paying this guy, but it would be to replace all the existing logos in building, on signs and on the side of city vehicles. Luckily none of the aldermen liked any of his logos and no money was spent. Let's move ahead six years and look what has appeared on the City's website. Once again the city is in another deficit budget year using reserves, but some politicians along with city staffers think now is a good time to change the city logo. 1 Back in 2009 I said the only proper logo for Town and Country would be a deer jumping over the hood of a BMW. The closest photo I could find of that was a moose that appears to be jumping over the hood of a Volvo in Sweden.

In the 114th Congress, Alexander became chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, allowing him to take a lead role in a bipartisan rewrite of the No Child Left Behind education law that implemented testing requirements for students and performance standards. A fix to the law, which expired in 2007, is ``long overdue,'' Alexander said at his panel's first hearing in January 2015. He also wants to curb student-loan costs. Education is an abiding concern for Alexander, a former federal Education secretary and university president whose parents were an elementary school principal and a kindergarten teacher. Alexander has enough of an independent streak that he generally ranks in the bottom half of Republican senators on vote scorecards from activist groups promoting deep cuts to spending and taxes. One such group, the Club for Growth, gave him a rating of 68 out of 100 for his 2014 votes.
