Emotions in Ritual Theories Springer. Link. What are rituals How do they help us articulate our identities, our values, and our society This chapter explores the tradition of ritual theory in sociology, focusing on how it configures emotions, bodies, structures and the self. We begin by tracing the intellectual heritage of ritual theory, initiated by Emile Durkheim, revamped by Erving Goffman, and then further coalescing with the work of Randall Collins. We then consider the different methodologies and approaches available to conduct research on rituals and social interaction, followed by an exploration of select areas of sociological research that draw on ritual theory to illuminate social processes. These areas include the study of criminal justice and punishment, violence, social movements and activism, economic markets and consumption. This provides a view of how ritual theory can be used to advance research agendas. We conclude by highlighting emergent ideas and nascent challenges for contemporary sociology to contend with, such as questioning the concept of solitary and technology mediated rituals and the uneasy relationship with macro sociology and social structure. Propaganda by Edward Bernays 1. Edward BernaysThe American business community was also very impressed with the propaganda effort. They had a problem at that time.

There was a guy hired to make Rockefellers image look prettier and that sort of thing. But this huge public relations industry, which is a U. S. invention and a monstrous industry, came out of the first World War. The leading figures were people in the Creel Commission. In fact, the main one, Edward Bernays, comes right out of the Creel Commission. He has a book that came out right afterwards called Propaganda. The term propaganda, incidentally, did not have negative connotations in those days. It was during the second World War that the term became taboo because it was connected with Germany, and all those bad things. But in this period, the term propaganda just meant information or something like that. A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Hymns As Poetry by Martin Luther Compiled by Tom Stewart.

World War. The propaganda system of the first World War and this commission that he was part of showed, he says, it is possible to regiment the public mind every bit as much as an army regiments their bodies. These new techniques of regimentation of minds, he said, had to be used by the intelligent minorities in order to make sure that the slobs stay on the right course.
