Accidentally Like a Goffman I work in an institutional, public service environment. The physical environment is that of a middle-sized office building in the low-rent part of town. The building is divided into twelve roughly equal sections with some offices and lots of gray cubicles. As a part of my job I have to walk through one of the twelve sections on a regular basis. There are five whiteboards and about a dozen colored dry-erase pens in this section. The whiteboards are rarely used for the purpose of work-related communication, but instead are used for non-verbal general commentary on a wide variety of topics. Humor is often employed. Those familiar with the work of micro-sociologist, symbolic interactionist and social psychologist Erving Goffman will immediately recognize this as one of his better known experiments. Goffman designed the experiment and a small group of graduate students administered it. It lasted about a month and studied non-verbal "free" communication, in order to determine fundamental orientations, conceptions of self, small group communication dynamics and "translation" (in the sociological sense). Goffman's study was of civil service office workers. The test subjects were isolated in a wing of an office building and deprived of all forms of entertainment and mental diversion. Then, after a few days of this, four large chalk boards and a sufficient variety of colored chalk in order for each participant to have his or her distinct shade. A subject was selected at random each morning and instructed to pick a topical question to which the other participants could respond. Everything was monitored and recorded, sorted by type and analyzed in several ways; four independent and ten dependent variables were tracked and correlated. The resulting "combined" analysis (first half was qualitative, second half was quantitative) was over 200 pages. The study was novel and innovative and the methods employed, the resulting analysis, and, especially, its conclusions were questioned and the entire affair was considered suspect. There were also ethical issues associated with the methodology. What Goffman found is what I've also observed here: 1. that the prime motivation of the individuals who write on the chalkboard/whiteboard is not communication 2. that the process engenders a sense of elan, of belonging to something greater than the self or of contributing to something larger than the self 3. that the process, which is an expression of the individual, ironically and counter-intuitively tends to promote conformity and collective or cooperative identities 4. that the actors reveal far more about themselves than they typically intend through this sort of open-ended communication I'm wondering about this: 1. does anyone in this workgroup (which is primarily IT and other data services workers) have sufficient familiarity with sociology to know that they are re-creating a famous micro-sociology study? 2. if this is a spontaneous thing and there was no design involved... what are the chances of such an experiment just happening? I mean, one of the participants just deciding to do this one day... the chances seem pretty slim and remote Today there were no questions or responses on the board. I'm going to kind of miss it... although I only participated in it a couple of times, I did enjoy reading the board and I appreciated the fact that it was there. ... might be more on this later...

Как прокатиться 500 метров за 500 баксов и 100гивень?
Итак, спустя 3 недели прибывания в Ялте на киностудии, решаюсь взять в аренду мопед,плачу залог 500 баксов, доехал до дома.
Потом была бессонная ночь, кто-то дрочил мою сигнализацию:))) а на утро мопед естественно не завелся:)
Поехали на студию на Такси:))
Идем с Саней домой, подходим к дому и я говорю:"я не удивлюсь если мопед спиздили"
Так и случилось:)))))
Если хотите тратить 20$ на завтрак в советской столовой в которой солфетки режут пополам для количества а затем грязные кладут обратно и стопку, приезжайте в замечательную Ялту
Таки неприятно за то, что столь прекрасный город не стоит того чтобы в нем задерживаться.
Для приезжих на каждом углу наебка
2 дня до отьезда в Киев-домой, где мопеды стоят неделями во дворах, а бандиты добры как винни пух:)))
Ялта-город-наебка:) |
