Culture consists of rhetorical, interactional, and material tools that are organized into strategies of action. Social movement theory is beginning to recognize the role of culture in facilitating or frustrating collective organizing.
I use social constructionism as an analytical approach to bridge social movement and cultural theory. Social constructionists ask how social action is constructed, rather than what issues or ideas are being constructed. Using
data from more than three years of ethnographic research in Groveland, an African American neighborhood in Chicago, Ifind that the black church provides a cultural blueprint for civic life in the neighborhood. Prayer, call-and response interaction, and Christian imagery are important parts of the cultural "tool kit" of Groveland's black residents, and these cultural practices invigorate activism. Particular theological foundations of black Christianity-especially its collective ethos and the notion of God as active in earthly affairs-support the content of secular activism. Black church culture constitutes the taken-for-granted practices that put civic efforts into action.

hi folks,

I just uploaded a couple of files - basically the handouts I gave out for the Casanova / W&D readings. Please feel free to modify them; the casanova summary in particular is incomplete, and some of the stuff I've written should be cut out.

i'm still trying to figure this wiki thing out, so maybe there's a better way to organize things, e.g, putting a bunch of files under a "casanova" folder or something. the idea I had in mind was to put together a bunch of very short (i.e., note-card size) as well as slightly longer (i.e., 1-2 page) summaries for each text; something that will give us the absolute essentials of each text.

wiki away,
b
