传记
My scholarly passions have long been sparked by critical analyses of the ritual intersections between culture, 历史, 以及社会权力. Animated by an amalgam of interpretive, 后, 女权主义, social psychoanalytic, 全球经济, and critical race theories, this approach to the sociological imagination has led me to research a diverse, 然而,相关的, 主题集. These include analyses of the “discovery” of child abuse; the social construction of psychiatric diagnoses of “dangerousness;” the historical specificity of theories and policy initiatives pertaining to crime, deviance and social control; the global emergence of ultramodern forms of power, 电阻, and change; the relationship between public sociology and classroom pedagogy; and, 最近, affinities and tensions between the realms of magic, 宗教, 和技术.
I am currently completing work on a multiple-volume study of the origins and systemic impact of new global technologies of cybernetic social power. Of particular importance to this investigation is the cultural, 政治, and economic power of suggestive communicative technologies that produce mesmerizing streams of fascination and fear. 近年来, I have also created and collaborated on variety of mixed-media sociological performances and video-texts, exploring the sensory contours, social-psychic constraints, and imaginative new pathways for social justice engendered by contemporary digital culture.
