    Did Harriet Martineau's sociological methods influence Emile Durkheim's sociological methods?

    No full text
    Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) published How to Observe Morals and Manners in 1838. The book was perhaps the first sociological methodology text. Emile Durkheim (1855-1917) published The Rules of Sociological Method (1895) 57 years later. Durkheim's book has traditionally been labeled as the first sociological methodology text, while Martineau's book has been virtually forgotten by modern day sociologists. The author identifies significant similarities between the two texts and investigates the possibility that the work of Martineau influenced Durkheim. This work explores the life an important figure in nineteenth century European culture and argues that Martineau's name should be reinserted into the history of sociology. The ideas contained in, and the construction of, How to Observe Morals and Manners are discussed.Master of Scienc

    Taking Harriet Martineau Seriously in the Classroom and Beyond

    No full text
    The contributors to this book, sociologists all, take Harriet Martineau seriously as a major and consequential intellect within their chosen discipline and their classrooms. It has not always been so, at least in recent times, but Martineau has now been rediscovered by sociologists who are writing about Martineau in a growing series of books, essays, and scholarly editions. We do not all see Martineau through the same author spectacles, as the following contributions make evident, but we do see her-she is no longer invisible to those of our students and colleagues who possess a modicum of bibliographic savvy. At several points in this book, readers are presented with contextual background and biographical details about Martineau, information that is useful and necessary for readers who are still new to Martineau\u27s work, but it warrants notice that the time for penning generic introductory synopses of Martineau and her accomplishments is drawing to a close-several sociological introductions are readily available and are cited among the references at the end of this book. Along this line, although uncited in the present bibliography, a growing number of introductory sociology textbooks now make at ieast passing reference to Martineau (Hill 1998). Harriet Martineau has arrived on the doorstep of the twenty-first century sociological scene, and it is high time that the discipline\u27s scholars, thinkers, and theoreticians take her seriously

    A politics of conversion: nihilism and love in Toni Morrison's fiction

    No full text
    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras.O estudo Uma Política de Conversão: Niilismo e Amor na Ficção de Toni Morrison começa com a idéia de que a Literatura Afro-Americana apresenta um sentido de auto-reflexividade e hibridismo, através do qual autobiografia dialoga com romance, o espiritual se funde com o político. A partir deste traço dialógico a auto-reflexividade é politicamente estabelecida entre niilismo e amor. Na política de conversão, o estudo analisa as formas como mulheres negras, individualmente ou em grupo, fogem da escravidão para a liberdade, avançam da individualidade para a coletividade, ou substituem niilismo por amor. Metodologicamente o estudo apresenta sete capítulos. O primeiro discute os aspectos dialógicos que ilustram as conexões entre narrativas espirituais, de escravos e ficção, entre espiritualidade e política. O segundo examina o diálogo entre a conversão, pregação pública e formação da comunidade em Diário e Experiências Religiosas de Lee. O capítulo sugere que ao afirmar espiritualidade e humanidade a narradora abre profundo espaço para a mulher negra reclamar direitos civis. O terceiro discute o diálogo no interior da política de conversão entre narrativa de escravos e ficção. Este diálogo lida com niilismo e amor em Incidentes de Jacobs e Amada, Sula e O Olho Mais Azul de Morrison. Para a análise de niilismo e amor valores individuais e coletivos são considerados em relação a cinco aspectos: ambiente e agente antagonistas, agente de apoio, propósito da personagem e resultado alcançado. É visível, no estudo, o apoio que certas mulheres recebem de suas comunidades para contra-atacar antagonistas. O apoio nem sempre resulta na superação do niilismo e, por isso, derrota temporária pode ocorrer antes que elas sejam reintegradas à comunidade, como acontece com Linda Brent. O quarto capítulo examina as fraquezas e as energias da política da conversão e a reintegração de Sethe Suggs à comunidade de Bluestone Road. O quinto avalia como a comunidade de Bottom tenta controlar a individualidade de Sula Peace e como um grupo de mulheres lideradas por Nel Wrights consegue resgatar o espírito de independência da heroína. O sexto mostra como a política da conversão das mulheres de Lorain é incapaz de garantir a saúde mental de Pecola Breedlove, mas consegue criar um papel mais consistente para o grupo. No sétimo, a conclusão examina da relação dialética entre niilismo e amor ou auto-amor nas experiências dos indivíduos e dos grupos. O estudo sugere que em Incidentes a busca de Linda Brent por liberdade envolve elementos de autodestruição e de autoempoderamento. Da mesma maneira, o estudo conclui que em Amada o amor que Sethe Suggs tem para as suas crianças mata a própria filha, enfatizando, assim, o desejo de livrá-la da escravidão. Igualmente em Sula, a individualidade de Sula Peace não apenas limita, mas também expande as experiências do grupo, levando-o à emancipação. Finalmente, em O Olho Mais Azul a luta de Pecola Breedlove por amor e beleza reflete auto-ódio ao mesmo tempo em que reconstrói a auto-apreciação de toda a comunidade

    The American West, 1899–1936: Prose, Poetry & Drama

    No full text
    This comprehensive volume presents Harriet Monroe’s (1860–1936) previously unexplored love affair with the American West, an infatuation that blossomed in three interrelated genres: prose, poetry, and drama. Known internationally as the founder and influential editor of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, here Monroe is revealed as a prolific author with a passion for the people, scenery, and environments she encountered during western escapes from her constricted urban life in Chicago. Monroe’s western travels were transformative. Originally schooled in the literary and artistic traditions of Europe, Monroe became increasingly convinced of the fundamental importance of the American West as the muse to which American writers and artists should turn for inspiration. Her vivid impressions of the Grand Canyon, the rituals of Native Americans, and the camaraderie of outings with John Muir and the Sierra Club include writings drawn from newspaper accounts and early journal articles as well as previously unpublished archival materials. The foreword by Lindsay Atnip and the introduction by Michael R. Hill helpfully place Monroe’s genre-spanning writings within the vibrant artistic and intellectual milieu of the early twentieth century.https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/zeabook/1156/thumbnail.jp

    De escritora a socióloga: circulação e classificação das obras de Harriet Martineau entre os séculos XX e XXI

    No full text
    Este estudo analisa a circulação e a recepção das obras da autora britânica Harriet Martineau (1802-1876), hoje reconhecida como pioneira da sociologia. Utilizando uma abordagem quantitativa, a pesquisa revisa a literatura e coleta dados de artigos, abrangendo os séculos XX e XXI. Com foco em artigos em inglês, categorizo temas, representações da autora e citações de suas obras. Utilizando o software VOSViewer, foram mapeadas relações bibliométricas e identificadas áreas de interesse relacionadas à obra de Martineau ao longo do tempo. Já com a linguagem R, analisei a circulação das suas obras em diferentes áreas de estudo e como ela é classificada nas publicações. Os dados indicam que Martineau evoluiu de escritora para uma reconhecida socióloga. Porém, mostram que esse reconhecimento foi tardio: embora as primeiras iniciativas de reclassificação da autora como socióloga datem da década de 1960, apenas recentemente essa visão se consolidou. Martineau, ademais, permanece ausente nos periódicos de alto impacto e sua posição como pioneira da sociologia continua frágil.This study analyzes the circulation and reception of the works of the British author Harriet Martineau (1802-1876), now recognized as a pioneer of sociology. Using a quantitative approach, the research reviews the literature and collects data from articles, covering the 20th and 21st centuries. Focusing on articles in English, I categorize themes, representations of the author, and citations of her works. Using VOSViewer software, bibliometric relationships were mapped, and areas of interest related to Martineau's work over time were identified. Using the R programming language, I analyzed the circulation of her works across different fields of study and how she is classified in publications. The data indicates that Martineau evolved from a writer to a recognized sociologist. However, it shows that this recognition was delayed: although the first efforts to reclassify her as a sociologist date back to the 1960s, this perspective has only recently become consolidated. Furthermore, Martineau remains absent from high-impact journals, and her position as a pioneer of sociology remains fragile.44 f

A major event this year was the comprehensive school evaluation by personnel from the Regional Office. The evaluation identified certain areas of program, procedures, equipment, and physical facilities which needed attention by the staff and school board. Another development was action by the school board to assure greater control over students behaviour. Related to this issue was the formation of a parent/student/teacher advisory committee for consideration of matters of common concern, and participation by many parents in noon supervision throughout the winter months. The popular movement this year was "back to the basics," with its conflicting interpretations and viewpoints. A gradual change to a more highly structured curriculum is evident, with increased emphasis on standardized testing at various grade levels. However, what is basic to one expert may be a

    Harriet Martineau (1802-76) is one of the most important and least appreciated founders of sociology. The author takes a significant and much-needed step in this lucid introductory biography of Harriet Martineau, from the standpoint of a sociologist. Hoecker Drysdale\u27s decidedly sociological perspective distinguishes this volume from several parallel works that critique Martineau from literary, historical, journalistic, and other angles. With this book, the early woman sociologist whose writing influenced the likes of Edith Abbott, Herbert Spencer, William Sumner, and Lester Ward finally receives a book-length appreciation from a member of the one intellectual discipline that ought long ago to have embraced Martineau as a revered, prolific, and insightful pioneer

One might para­phrase this and say: You cannot hate learning once you really know it. We at Myers, have been fortunate to have Mr. Wright as the President of the School Board. Fortunate in that he has tried to make us less blind and less complacent; his story is one of dynamism, not deterioration. It has been and still remains for Mr. Wright, that the school surroundings will be one of renewal in a hospitable environment. But in so having - renewing becomes something of the self. Mr. Wright is an "involved" person; a man that has realized long ago that the challenge between potential and life must be an endless dialogue. He asks this of all the students of Taber and has worked hard to be heard on the idea. Life, is after all, an unequalled teacher if one is not afraid to look at it. Mr. Wright would say, that education has at its zenith the idea that the individual must pursue his own education. There is no question that Goethe was correct when he said that man will always make mistakes as long as he is doing something. By all means do something! Mr. Wright has striven for the idea that spirit is more important than form. He has seen and continues to see in teaching, that the classroom MUST possess curiosity, objectivity of search, open-mindedness, and the capacity to think critically. Is Mr. Wright saying or does he say, that freedom means permission to do just about anything? Hardly! He sees in freedom the carrier of possibilities. It is therefore with deep appreciation, that we dedicate this portion of the 1969 Dawn Yearbook to Mr. Len Wright who has helped to make us "know education". - R.J. SilversASSISTANT EDITOR'S MESSAGE: The Myers Yearbook portrays an image to those who examine it. The book portrays how the school is run, the type of students and teachers in its walls, the activities, attitude and atmosphere of the school. One can generally tell from the quality of the final product of the Yearbook just exactly what type of school it represents. Myers is a good school, but too often the final result is not a fair representative of the type of school it really is. But this is due to the lack of student support. Every year only a select few- and very few- compile and combine our Yearbook and then we the non-participating ones have the nerve to run down such a fine effort. This year the credit for such a good book lies on one man-Jim Ackerman. I do not wish to imply by this that all the other members of the Yearbook committee did not contribute or help out but when it came down to the real nitty-gritty it was he alone who put forth the effort and work needed into com­pleting this book, that you now hold. So, to Jim-we must take off our hats and salute you. Myers must and better take more care in selecting the Yearbook Committee; for every year the staff dwindles and the editor handles the bulk of the responsibility of compiling a book. This year we had one heck of a time finding people to take over the responsibility of running next year's yearbook. Just remember this: if you do not like our book as it is you know what YOU can do about it - - - - You the individual must get in and participate and put every effort into a good Yearbook, not only for yourself but for Myers. Shelby J. Wills Assistant Editor An editorial from the Yearbook Editor is, as tradition would have it, one that happily states what a wonderful job the committee has done and how the Yearbook is so much better than in previous years. However, since I seldom abide by any traditions, I would like to dispense with all this and state generally what my views are about this book and its purpose. As much as possible we have tried to break the more tedious traditions of the yearbook. Prose has been despensed with or added where ever and when ever possible. Candid snap shots have been almost done away with because they are too contrived for a good yearbook to contain. Shelby's enthusiasm and assistance more than any other factor made the publication of this book possible and I would like to sincerely thank her. Thanks also to Norm and his advertising committee, Lynette and the other artists and Mr. Baldwin for his advice and assistance. Thanks also to all those who in any way contributed to the publication or development of this book. Aquarius begins something new and something that greatly pleases me. Martin Kaga, the artist, has derived the title from the song of the same name by the FIFTH DEMENTION. In this new age "... peace will find our planet." Therefore we ask Aquarius - Where? When? Where on this planet does one find equality, stability of values, sincere friendship, a place where ideals are not scoffed at and where individuality is respected and sought after. If one were lucky enough to find such a place he would think he had discovered a Utopia if not Shangrala. Such a place will never be found if one is shrouded in the unenvolved attitude of the Canadian people. To the Grads: "the development of the world is within your grasp. Stare the realities of life square in the face, determined to sway the human race from the goal of self destruction they have set. Never feel alone in your attempts to change your environment. Always stick with your original ideals and never, ever give up. To all those people whose hands search the pages of this book, the same should be applied to their lives. Good luck to all and may all your endeavers be fruitful.

Whom, then, do I call educated? First, those who manage well the circumstances which they en­counter day by day, and who possess judgement which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise, and rarely miss the expedient course of action. Next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all men, bearing easily and good-naturedly what is unpleasant or offensive in others and being themselves as agreeable and reasonable to their associates as is humanly possible to be; furthermore, those who hold their pleasures always under control, and are not unduly overcome by their misfortunes, bearing up under them bravely in a manner worthy of our common nature; finally and most important of all, those who are not spoiled by their suc­cesses, who do not desert their true selves but hold their ground steadfastly as wise sober minded men. Rejoicing no more in the good things which have come to them through chance then in those which through their own nature and intelligence are theirs since birth. Those who have character which is in accord not with one of these things but all of them, these I maintain are educated and whole men possessed by all the virtues of a man. -Socrates: 436 - 338 B. C.

GRAD ’69 MAY 23, CLASS NO. 98 TIME FOR A BEGINNING" CLASS HISTORY EXCERPTS from the CLASS HISTORY BY MARTIN KAGA Madam Chairman, Honored Guests, Fellow Graduands: I have been accorded the privilege this evening of pre­senting to you, a personal summary of the experiences of the '69 graduating class. Condensing the events of twelve years for a hundred students would be an impossible task however, unless there were some point to talk or focus upon. There­fore, in review of all the events: successes, failures and progression, the keynote which suit our class seems to be the amount of responsibility we have taken up between grades one and twelve towards ourselves and the parts of society which determine our character. Through each grade the added responsibilities and opportunities have thus brought us to today's climax. Our first troubled days quickly prepared us for this theme. Separated from our parents for the half day of school, to be the first of many, the responsibility of looking out for ourselves to a greater extent was a fearful and tearful one we more or less accepted. As we learned however, school was not as bad as its first impression. The work was easy and quickly to be praised. Our educators shared with our parents, the daily chores as mother or father figures and our respect for those beings was only matched by our fear of their laws. The grades soon progressed however, as did the students' view of school. The rough life consisted of chasing enemies up the backstop of Westlake, the annual track meets at Dr. Hamman, Centrals sportsmanship. Thus in six years of elementary life we gained some of the responsibilities we would remember and use in High school. The shocking new freedoms and temptations of Jr. High however, sidetracked our confidence, but definitely elementary young minds. The shock which broke this somnolent stupor, came in the form of departmental exams. Disgust, frustration, and cramming somehow enabled us to survive that storm and threw us into the din of Sr. High life. We enlisted the cosmopolitans of Barnwell, selling our class to its present capacity, finally concluding a process of unifying all the districts grade tens. The theme of everything we did in class from that point on centered about our life after leaving school. From deciding what to do after school each day to deciding what to do after school for a life time is a huge contrast from writing a simple occupations 10 essay. The three years it took us to gain that responsibility has been thus a result of slow process which we are formal completing acceptance of today. The gaining of these obligations and their fulfilment have been the paramount ideal of our society. Our ascendency from looking after ourselves in school to looking after our future satisfies this ideal in part. The gaining of responsibility like history, itself however, is a continuing and growing event in its own right. Thus, although we must close this chapter of our history, we must prepare ourselves for those YET TO PASS. sorrow as we leave this place. CLASS VALEDICTORIAN EXCERPTS FROM ANGELA HOWS' SPEECH Madam Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents and Fellow Graduands and Ladies and Gentlemen. To this place, W.R. Myers, to the guidance of our parents and teachers, to the fellowship of our schoolmates, we owe everything. Here we lived for 6 years, having passed from child­hood to maturity, as mature as teenagers can be. But now the end has come; we must bid farewell to all of you and to the good and bad times we have experienced. Our old meeting places and favorite haunts will be frequented by new faces and entities. It is with mixed feelings that we move onto a new way of life and all of us will be experiencing feelings of both joy and It will be a sad occasion because we will be loosing many of the friends we have made and the attachments we have established over the years. Some of us will miss the social and other activities as­sociated with school. The occasion will be a glad one too, because an end has come to the routine, classroom discipline and regimentation, exams, and all the other things that are associated with Jr. and Sr. High School. Another reason for happiness is the sense of achievement synonymous with this occasion, a sense that carries with it a feeling of satisfaction. But this satisfaction was only possible through the sympathetic understanding and guidance of our parents and teachers. To our parents we owe our very being as well as the opportunity of gaining an education. They have provided for our every need and have steered us safely through many a crisis. We are also beholdent to our professors for the knowledge and understanding they have imparted to us. Credit goes to our friends for assisting in the building of character and personality. We have achieved an awareness of social grace and poise and have learned to respect the INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. As we leave the safe confines of home and school and go out into the world we must always keep in mind that there can be NO HAPPINESS in a LIFE WITHOUT WORK. To win success we must well use and need ambition and a strong determination to work hard. The world needs people of worth, people of determination, people with a purpose, people of action. Our duty is to accept our stations in life with strong faith, zeal, self-confindence and the willingness to toil hard. Though the future is unforeseeable and uncertain, we can take steps to reasonably insure a hopeful fate for ourselves by setting high goals and striving unceasingly to attain them. Without a capacity for work and a love for performing the duties of our chosen vocation, success, independence, and security will surely elude us. It is a proven fact that out of 100 men at the age of 65 a full 50^0 would be broke and dependent upon charity to their relatives or public institutions. One third would be dead, many due to improper living. 5 of the 100 would be in poor financial circumstances, while only 4 would be considered comfortable and 1 lone man would be rich and you can be sure he had the unusual capacity and willingness to work. Perhaps the bad thing about making good is that you have to keep on making good every day thereafter, but by sticking to one thing and laboring at it constantly, we are bound to perfect ourselves in a job we seek to do. Now we leave, not knowing when or whether ever we may return, to face the future with hopes and aspirations, with fears and apprehension. Shouldering a task greater than ever we've had to shoulder before, but with inspiration given to us - WE CANNOT FAIL. Good-bye, good luck, and God bless you all. GRADS ’69 VICE-PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUANDS The school year 1968-'69 could well be called the year of student unrest, resistance and even violence. A tide or rebellion has broken out in educational institutions all over the world. The news­paper and television coverage of student rioting has contributed heavily to perpetuating and aggravating the number and instensity of such episodes. Paralleling the incidence of physical upheaval there has been a moral and emotional conflagration. Use of psychedelic drugs generation gap conflicts, "hippie" be­havior and thinking and a general renouncing of the honored virtues of honesty, responsibility, industry, good will towards fellow men, all have caused schools to become suspect. Added to this, the tremendous drain of costs of education on the national economy and it is small wonder that the serious minded part of society has become alarmed and outraged. Although this picture of educational institutions is not satisfactory, it is also not completely true. The foregoing description is applicable to only a segment of individuals in relatively a small number of schools. Most students and most schools are bending their energies to the task of developing intellectual competence. Schools are still producing knowledgeable, capable, creative thinking young people who will handle the problems and ills of their generation just as adequately, if not better than their fore­fathers. Here in W. R. Myers probable exists a small reproduction of the national educational scene. We have our rowdiness at dances occasionally, differences of opinions between teachers and pupils; among pupils; among teachers and even among administrators but wisdom and good judgement inevitably follow discussion. Dialogue prevails over violence and swinging fists. Of course this relatively quiet purposeful achievement doesn't make very interesting reading in the newspapers or viewing on television. In summation, an appraisal of our situation would indicate that although we have a considerable amount of room for moral, intellectual and cultural improvement, we are not in immediate danger of break down in these areas! But only with conscious, planned effort will we surpress undesirable manifestations in our midst and strive towards worth-while goals. F.
