It's a part of my mentor's dissertation about Erving Hoffman's "Frame analysis" and course called "Sociology of everyday life". It's in Russian and I'm not sure whether it was translated into English. Perhaps, he says something in his article "Remembering Irving Hoffman", but I couldn't find it online, only this hyperlink to the contents (http://wciom.com/library/monitoring-journal/previous-issues/no-3-83-2007.ht ml). But I can retell you the logic. There are two branches in sociology of everyday life: "ontological" and "relative". The first one says, that there is only one "real" or paramount reality, and others are secondary to that one. This point of view is based on the Alfred Shutz's work " On Multiple Realities". The other point suggests that each "reality" has equal status. This is Erving Hoffman's position in "Frame Analysis". Something like that. Best wishes, Alexander. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of jeremy hunsinger Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 7:39 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] Using ANT as ethos and method
But I wanted to talk about another problem with this "paradigm" in sociological thought. Latour represents the "ontological" branch of "sociology of everyday life" which derives from Shutz's idea of "multiple realities".
do you have a cite for that? It is not a part of the story that I know, I must have missed it. _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
