Immanuel Wallerstein

At the 1985 annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Washington, I had, at the invitation of Immanuel Wallerstein, the opportunity to present my theses on the subject “Why Peasants and Housewives do not Disappear in the Capitalist World System” (Werlhof 1985). Some years later, in an article with the same title, I dealt with the basic thesis of the presentation at ASA for the entire process of accumulation, namely the permanent relevance of processes of so-called “primitive accumulation”(1991). I am glad to come back to the subject in my contribution to thiscommemorative volume, though I shall deal with it in a new context: theso-called globalization debate.

Rhetorical Debate

Erving Goffman’s posthumously published essay, ‘The interaction order’, which was to have been presented as a presidential address at an annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, is usually taken to be an attempt at a systematic summary by Goffman of his key ideas. This article suggests the address can also be understood as a profoundly personal and deeply scornful critique by Goffman of the varieties of mainstream sociology and the pretensions of its practitioners. Incorporated into that critique is a simulacrum in which Goffman demonstrated what a systematic treatment of his work might look like had he actually been inclined to generate one. In that respect, ‘The interaction order’ transcends the boundaries of what we ordinarily expect to find in an academic address: it is simultaneously an artful display of Goffman’s real vocational commitment to sociology, a contribution to the rhetorical debate in which he engaged with the practitioners of orthodox versions of sociology and a brief but significant demonstration of some aspects he considered distinctive about his own form of sociology.

White Control

Can people find pleasure in race, or is any mention or description of race erotically itself racist? Using the framework of sexual racism, in this essay, I contend that people do find pleasure in race and to propose a colorblind alternative to sexual racism is inappropriate. I consider the kink of race play as a site where it is clear pleasure exists for some. To delineate ethical and unethical pleasures of race, and the possibility for a non-colorblind approach, I look at experiences of racial beauty experienced by people of color themselves. This essay was delivered at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association to the invited conference thematic panel Feeling Race: Solidarity, Affinity, and Belonging. Originally titled in the program: “The Pleasures of Race: Racism and Connection in Sexy Communities.”

Collective Representations

On August 27, 1984, (he American Sociological Association held a plenary session during the course of its annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas, on the theme “The Orwellian Vision: Sociological Assessment.” As befitting a special occasion, the session had distinguished participants: it was chaired by Wilbert Moore, with presentations made by Gary Marx, Kai Erikson, and Morris Janowitz, and finally, Seymour Lipset as discussant. Needless to say, it was quite appropriate for sociologists to come together to discuss, thirty-five years after its publication, a work in the genre of utopia (or dystopia) which has generated so much discussion and commentary as a sort of yardstick of the dark side of modern society. For about a year before the ASA meetings, the mass media and more specialized publications had run various articles on “1984,” and surely if we were to analyze the various writings on 1984 written on the eve or during 1984 we would have ingress to intriguing aspects of the American mentalité and its collective representations, projections, and rationalizations. This was not undertaken by the session participants, and this is not the occasion for my doing so.
