Yet some people think we pump gas for a living. We've refined a lot of products since 1899. But none of them has been gasoline. We let the people at Sunoco do that. At Sonoco we make things. Things like cones, cores and spools for textiles. Cores and tubes for paper manufacturers and converters. Cans, containers and folding cartons for packaging. Column forming tubes and underground pipe for construction. And underground vaults for the utility industry. And each of the thousands of products we make is developed in our own laboratories. ·Which are some of the largest and most complete in the paper, cone and tube industry. So how can we be so big and at the same time so unknown? Easy. None of our products go to consumers. They're all made to solve specialized problems for industry. Which means even if someone knows us for one of our products, it's quite possible he doesn't know us for anything else. That's why we'd like to give you a booklet that tells all about all the things we do. If you write Sonoco Products Company, Department SL, Hartsville, S. C. 29550, we'll send you a copy. It doesn't bother us that some people think we have service stations on every corner. As long as you know we have manufacturing plants around the world. Sonoco Products Company.

During that time he steals a little food, mostly chocolate, and a few bottles of water. He hides in closets and only comes out at night. She too is black… mulatto actually, the niece of the servants. Her name is Jadine Jade. Son steals into her room at night just to watch her sleep, night after night, and he falls in love with her. One night she goes into her closet to get some clothes and finds Son just sitting there, a huge black man She becomes frantic, screams, and Sydney comes with a gun and brings Son down into the dining room. The two chat; Jade joins the conversation, and Son is taken aback by her friendliness to the old white man though he has been her patron and paid for her education at the Sorbonne. Son is allowed to live in the house for a few days while Valerian tries to get papers that will let him to go back to the US. So Valerian invites the servants to share Christmas dinner.

In addition, I would like to give special consideration to… …my non-academic friends and family, particularly my father and sister. You all stuck with me through thick and thin, even when you did not necessarily understand nor agree with my rationale for toiling away for years in the Midwest. Your texts, emails, and phone calls helped to keep me grounded. …the staff, faculty, and graduate students in the Department of Sociology at the University of Minnesota, particularly the cohort of 2009. You were my home and family for the past seven years. …the editorial staff at The Society Pages, especially Douglas Hartmann, Chris Uggen, and Letta Wren Page. My writing and overall understanding of the field benefited tremendously from my experience as a graduate student board member. …the members of the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies graduate group, the Race Reading Group, and the Asian American Studies program at the University of Minnesota. Not only did you all make me feel as though I really belonged in academia, many of you also read through and provided invaluable comments for a countless number of my drafts.

Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies. Martin Lüthe is an associate professor in North American Cultural Studies at the John F. Kennedy-Institute at Freie Universität Berlin.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.
