Western Life series
No full text“The American cowboy is a mythical character who refuses to die,” says author John R. Erickson. On the one hand he is a common man: a laborer, a hired hand who works for wages. Yet in his lonely struggle against nature and animal cunning, he becomes larger than life. Who is this cowboy? Where did he come from and where is he today? Erickson addresses these questions based on firsthand observation and experience in Texas and Oklahoma. And in the process of describing and defining the modern working cowboy—his work, his tools and equipment, his horse, his roping technique, his style of dress, his relationships with his wife and his employer—Erickson gives a thorough description of modern ranching, the economic milieu in which the cowboy operates. The first edition of this book was published in 1981. For this second edition Erickson has thoroughly revised and expanded the book to discuss recent developments in cowboy culture, making The Modern Cowboy the most up-to-date source on cowboy and ranch life today. “We meet the modern cowboy (his dress depends on weather, chores, and vanity) and follow him through the year: spring roundup, branding and ‘working’ the calves; spotting problem animals and cutting them from the herd; repairing windmills and mending fences; fall roundup, and feeding animals in winter. . . . This is a lively portrait, sure to appeal to all Western buffs.”— Publishers Weekl

Co-constructing the victim in counseling sessions for couples at the Women's Police Station: a microethnographic study
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente.Este estudo descreve sessões de orientação em que um casal com problemas conjugais e uma assistente social se encontram para falar sobre os problemas do casal, na Delegacia da Mulher de Florianópolis, Brasil. Seguindo perspectivas de estudos da fala em interação e métodos microetnográficos de pesquisa (Erickson & Shultz, 1981; Erickson, 1992), descrevo as principais atividades de fala (Gumperz, 1982) e realizações dos participantes no evento. Estas atividades-as falas mecânica, sobre o problema, de conselho e de acordo-foram identificadas pela análise dos modelos de participação (Goodwin, 1990) estabelecidos. É na fala sobre o problema que se realiza a tarefa interacional mais importante: a co-construção da vítima. Embora as ações dos participantes se orientem para a pauta institucional (Drew & Heritage, 1992) do encontro, suas realizações podem desafiar ordens sociais pré-existentes. A análise do trabalho de face (Goffman, 1967) em um dos modelos de participação da fala sobre o problema-a disputa mediada/tribunal-demonstra que os procedimentos de mediação não são suficientes para evitarem os danos às faces do marido e da esposa, já que tanto um quanto o outro geralmente usam trabalho de face agressivo: protegem a própria face ameaçando a do outro. Nesses casos, o trabalho de face se torna trabalho moral (Drew, 1998) e ganha a disputa aquele que melhor projeta um eu moralmente correto e vitimizado. Enfatizo o caráter interdisciplinar do presente trabalho, que espero possa ser útil aos estudos futuros sobre questões de vitimização, violência conjugal e interação

Book Review: Judgment at Tokyo: World War II on Trial and the Making of Modern Asia
No full textAuthor: Gary J. Bass
Reviewed by Lieutenant Colonel Peter M. Erickson (US Army), PhD, Deputy G35, US Army Europe and Africa
Lieutenant Colonel Peter M. Erickson, PhD, provides a valuable overview of Gary J. Bass’s explanation of why the post–World War II Tokyo trials “were a relative failure.” He highlights how a lack of impartiality, the “legacy of empire,” and the judges’ backgrounds and motivations affected the trials. Erickson calls the book “a must-read for Defense community leaders who often wrestle with the strict legality of America’s tactical actions and the broader and deeper moral impacts of its strategic endeavors.”https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1068/thumbnail.jp

Drama como Proposta de Compreensão da Clínica de Milton Erickson
No full textThe present work aims to offer, through the notion of drama, an initial ground to the understanding of Milton Erickson’s clinic. To Erickson, the notion of drama takes theater as a metaphor of human subjectivity, assuming that the actions of the person take place in a living scenario and are supported by symbolic plots that influence their relational nets, but are generally kept unconscious. This notion points to a complex relation between the person and the world, in which the actions, the production of meanings, the roles and the corporeity are crossed over by culture, including the participation of the person, who can become actor and author of his destiny, and of the therapist, who can build characters relevant to the scenario lived by the person.
