About
Following the tradition of muckraking journalists, like Jacob Riis and Upton Sinclair, and iconoclast sociologists, like C. Wright Mills, Erving Goffman, and Howard Becker, content analysis considers issues of power, politics, the media, inequalities, and other social problems. Questions or ideas about sociology, academic life, or just life as a human being are also fair game.
I too am most interested in momentum sociologically considered, both as an everyday locution and as a potential window on the study of inelecutablility in humain affairs. For examnple – might not a worsening, encroaching mental illness be construed as a case of momentum?
By the way – most students of sporting momentum deem the belief in its operation as a hype, as a mere statistically expectable, if occasional, outcome -e.g., batting slunps and hot streaks.
Hmmm…maybe there’s a grant out there.
