Harold Garfinkel, the pioneering and great ethnomethodologist died
yesterday. April 21

More details in usual online sources

But it is unlikely that the obits will tell you that Harold was a member
of CITASA, at least for a while. He joined while I was president of the
section. We were so small then, that I scrutinized and welcomed new
members.

I wrote to Harold, basically asking, "why did you join us?" He wrote back
promptly saying that he thought the internet stuff was interesting and he
wanted to find out about the sociological implications of it. I think he
came to our ASA sessions at least once.

Apologies, this is a small memory fragment. And it is all that I know.
Alas, his death has been reliably reported too.

You can look it up.

Thank you for the information. I remember Dr. Garfinkel when I was a Ph.D. graduate student at UCLA. He was an interesting man though difficult to follow when he lectured.

Dr. Hosokawa:

I envy you. I would have loved to have had Harold Garfinkel as an
instructor, but I'm afraid I, too, would have found him difficult to follow.
It was only after spending fourteen years in China and struggling with the
language that I came to understand what the social construction of reality
meant. These days I try to convey to my students that people of other
cultures do not live in the same world that we do, but I'm often afraid that
my efforts are for naught. The notion that reality isn't exactly real is
hard to get a handle on.

In my intro course I have a little powerpoint about the "greats" of
sociology. Garfinkel was the only still alive. <sigh>.

Well, I guess my claim to fame would be that I did have a connection to one
of the "greats": just before trudging off to Indiana I made a pilgrimage to
Cambridge where Talcott Parsons, chain-smoking the whole time, treated me to
a two-hour sit-down lecture for one. I think Dr. Garfinkel would have done
the same. I'm sorry I didn't make the effort on one of my few trips to
LA....

I'd love to see this list. I'd also love to see a bibliography of "media /
journalism" (in general, not just social media) dealing with protest
movements. While I know there's a lot on this out there, the literature is
surprisingly scattered, especially in "sociology" proper.

A recent paper (now looking for a venue of publication - suggestions

Technologies Empowered Underprivileged Actors Through Ages", may be of
interest to you. In it I review how various ICTs (including Internet-era
social media) have been employed by social movements.

I wouldn't call it a comprehensive bibliography, but as it developed
from my comps, it does have a lot of cites.

If you'd like a copy, drop me a line!

PS. You may want to crosspost your question to the CBSM section, too, if
you haven't done so already.

Hi Dan and all, the bibliography I'm going to suggest is a bit broader
than just social media and social movements, but (shameless
self-promotion alert!) you might look at my book, /Alternative and
Activist New Media/, which just came out in February with Polity. I
devote the better part of a couple of chapters to social movement theory
and relate that work to various genres of online activism (in fact one
chapter deals with "mediated mobilization"). I hope this is along the
lines of what you're looking for!

Hi everyone,

My academic supervisor recently wrote a chapter about this topic in a book
set to arrive for sale sometime this year. The book is entitled
"Transnational Protests and the Media" and is edited by S. Cottle and L.
Lester with Peter Lang Publishing. I am not entirely sure what the book
will comprise of, but I have a feeling there are at least a chapter or two
about social media and protests/social movements.

I hope this helps.

Best.

Hi everyone, My academic supervisor recently wrote a chapter about this topic in a book set to arrive for sale sometime this year. The book is entitled "Transnational Protests and the Media" and is edited by S. Cottle and L. Lester with Peter Lang Publishing. I am not entirely sure what the book will comprise of, but I have a feeling there are at least a chapter or two about social media and protests/social movements. I hope this helps. Best.

 I have used the article cited below in Basic Research Methods; it's sociological and has a great bibliography.

Adrienne Russell. 2007. Digital Communication Networks and the Journalistic Field: the 2005 French Riots. Critical Studies in Media Communication 24 (4): 285=302.

If you don't follow the Crimson Hexagon, it's a must.

A few citations does not a bibliography make.

Best,

Barbara

Subject: Re: [CITASA] social media and protest

p.s., after having seen the responses to this query so far, I'll add that the book also has chapters on participatory journalism, alternative computing/hacktivism, and other topics that have been mentioned. Enjoy (!) Leah

I devote the better part of a couple of chapters to social movement theory and relate that work to various genres of online activism (in fact one chapter deals with "mediated mobilization"). I hope this is along the lines of what you're looking for!
