I'm still not sure what I want to do about it, but I've been thinking about the idea of a #sociology / #ethnomethodology study of sound - yes, there's been studies of music, but just raw sound. For me, that's involved digging into how sounds are made. So I've been pigging about with DEVICES (yeah!), synthesising drums, sampling, making some noise shaping things...thought I'd show them off here just because! Maybe more to come at some point with regards how this could be sociology, but not now.

Two devices, on a box on a desk. They both look like calculators kind of, but the one of the left, in orange, is a sampler, and the one on the right in black with colourful buttons is a drum machine.

Today, we remembers the death of the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed on this day in 1945 for his active opposition to Nazism. May his courage and his memory never be forgotten. #dietrichbonhoeffer #fascism #nazism #Trump #MAGA #Germany #theology #USA #stupidity #cheapgrace #religion #christianity #christian #ChristianNationalism #philosophy #sociology #psychology #resist #TrumpLies #trumptariffs #decline #usa #jesus

Next was "Organizations in Time," edited by Marcelo Bucheli and Dan Wadhwani. I love that there's an audiobook version of a book like this, which is an edited volume containing a number of articles on different aspects of doing research at the intersection of management studies and history. I found the last section on organizational historical data sources and methods to be the most interesting

Full review: bookwyrm.social/book/1974389/s (6/7) #sociology #history

bookwyrm.socialOrganizations in Time - BookWyrmWhy does history matter to our understanding of management, organizations, and markets? What theoretical insights can it offer into organizational processes? How can scholars use historical sources and methods to address research questions in management and organization studies? This book brings together leading organization scholars and business historians to examine the opportunities and challenges of incorporating historical research into the study of firms and markets. It examines the reasons for the growing interest in historically grounded research in management departments and business schools, and considers both the intellectual and practical questions the endeavour faces. The volume is divided into three parts. The first part, History and Organization Theory, considers the relationship between historical reasoning and key theoretical schools of organizational thought, including institutional theory, evolutionary theory, and critical theory. The second part, Actors and Markets, considers how historical perspective can provide researchers with insights into organizational change, entrepreneurial processes, industry emergence, and the co-evolution of states and markets. In the final section, Sources and Methods, the contributors explicate historical methodologies within the context of other approaches to studying organizations and provide concrete suggestions for researchers in the field. The introduction contextualizes these issues within the broader context of developments in the fields of business history and organization studies, and orients readers to the 'future of the past in management and organization studies.'

Next was a fantastic event on social protection and gender equality in the gig economy at the Asian Development Bank Institute with Tetsushi Sonobe, Raja Rajendra Timilsina (social welfare program demand in Indian informal workers), Joseph Han (social protection of Korean platform workers), and Stephanie Dimatulac Santos (Southeast Asia gig economy gender dynamics).

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

"Wallerstein’s wide-ranging political and intellectual interests soon led him to a career-making interest in #sociology (TV UNAM, 2019, 7:38). The discipline’s openness, he argued, stemmed from sociology’s expansive boundaries, which made it difficult to exclude any subject from its scope."

Aspen Proposal

All healthy humans are innately pro-social, the result of our evolution as a social species and the need for social cohesion.

As we grow up, that innate predisposition to cooperate and get along with others is shaped by the cultures in which we are raised to make us the kind of adults we become.

And as adults we then help shape the further development of our culture.

Are we heading in the right direction?
