Anonymous asked: I have 24 hours to finish my East Asian Studies capstone, so I'm finishing it up and revising it. My introduction talks about how, while a regular American person may not know that "ikebana" means flower-arranging, ze will at least be familiar with the image of a Japanese woman, in a kimono, putting a bouquet together.

I'm hesitant to use "ze" or...

acupofwhippedcream asked: One of the sociology blogs I follow here (except yours), is http://fuckyeahsociology.tumblr.com/. I actually don't know who's running the site, but it seems like (s)he's not fond of updating it. I checked out http://thesociologist.tumblr.com/ and it's nice :)

There's a question I've wanted to ask since I followed you. What's with sheep? :))

iamselectric asked: I declared a sociology major a few months ago and this blog just validated my decision lol fabulouss

desgarromental-deactivated20110 asked: how come i cant get to your reading list?

Congrats from Chile

ebolareturns asked: re: concepts about which one could write for Marx:

We'd actually need to know the length of the essay to cast the concept at an appropriate level. You'll also want to think about which sub-domain of Marxist thought your approach will fit into. Will you engage Marx's social ontology? His theory of history? His thoughts on the production of ideology? Etc....And...

thecomeback-kid asked: do you know if there is a similar website for psychology students? thank you!

thepovertyoftheory asked: Cheers for running this! I've noticed a distinct lack of sociology related blogs / tumblrs compared to other disciplines - e.g. the apparently 'hard' sciences, psychology, philosophy and literary criticism

Anonymous asked: Man, peeps are opinionated. I think you're dead good and sociologysheep makes me pee my pants regularly and I don't think it really matters, especially at the level of Tumblr literature, exactly where various academics are theoretically situated within the discipline. I'm all up for a bit of debate and definitely when it comes to sociology, but I think it occasionally gets a bit...

iwillnotshavemyvagina asked: MARXIAN CONCEPTS: Classes in relation to forces of production, alienation, class consciousness, or my favorite: fetishism of commodities

drivelbaby asked: Regarding the concepts developed by Marx question.. I did an essay on the fetishism of commodities last year & did pretty well, here's the references I used if that helps:

Billig, M. (1999) “Commodity Fetishism and Repression –Reflections on Marx, Freud and the psychology of consumer capitalism”, Theory & Psychology, vol.9,no.3, pp. 313-329

Anonymous asked: you cry for submissions, but don't post everything. hypocrisy much?

ebolareturns asked: Okay....end of question barrage (caffeinated morning).
Have you encountered a decent sociology intro text? I might have to teach from one in the coming years, and all I've yet encountered are shit.

ebolareturns asked: I read your booklist. Cool and helpful. However, I see that classical theory (and much contemporary theory) is absent (absences are understandable, as we are still students in progress). There's an interesting American bent, with Berger and Luckman's attempted theoretical synthesis, and then Blumer's symbolic interactionism. Giddens is very ambitious in scope, but sometimes his...

ebolareturns asked: 1. Fuck yeah is a good adjectival modifier.
2. I'm guessing that you've already connected the concept of able-ism to Foucault's wider framework. It seems to me like a perfect moment where both disciplinary power and bio-politics (the complex of the two forming bio-power) construct clear identities and institutional frameworks; Individuals are surveilled, assessed, and...

potinsocio asked: I have a paper to do on 'a concept developed by Marx' and my only directive is to use secondary literature. Since I didn't learn very much in this class (teacher was not very good), I'm a bit lost and don't know what concept I could choose except for the alienation. Could someone give me some hints please?

friendofhagrid asked: So Im a freshman in a Sociology Research Class (God help me) and I'm having some trouble making a good question for my paper. It is based on a convenvience sample of 26 Latin@ students at a small university and should be qualitative and not broad. My idea was to research if certain characteristics are coveted as being "authentic" resulting in a hierarchy of "latinoness"....

Anonymous asked: Actually, Foucault is very much sociology. In some sense, Michel Foucault belongs to the perspective of critical theory. He is looking at modern society and critiquing it--claiming that power regimes have prohibited individuals to find the discourse of truth. I would argue that Discipline and Punish is an excellent book to start reading...

Social theory courses teach Foucault....

getradified asked: I love Foucault but I would never suggest him as a starting point. Dude's writing is pretty dense.

Hi everyone, just a quick post to let you know that the reason I have not gone through all the submissions yet/posts aren’t being tagged/the site updates aren’t being worked on is because I have an exam tomorrow. I am freaking out. I’m pretty sure this will be the end of me. Hell, it’s possible the only reason I’m writing this is to distract myself from my...

Anonymous asked: Hey..!im taking my first class in sociology.....can you help me with this,'Assess the claim that sociologists have describe the importance of socialization in shaping human behavior".do we need to include the debate on nurture and nature?im pretty blur on how to even begin my essay

under-where asked: Do you know if there's a geography TUMBLR as such?
