| | Mallon: Social Construction, Social Roles, and Stability |
 | | If this is correct, then the stability of the social world (and our knowledge of it) might also be explained by the presence of stable, causally efficacious social roles. | | | Note that social role kinds are explanatory kinds in two senses. | | | It is a feature of the account that it provides a unified story about the structure of overt and covert roles by appealing to widely held beliefs, and actions structured by those beliefs, to explain both sets of phenomena. |

| | That is, in spite of its attempt to be value-neutral, the interpretations of the discipline subtly lend themselves to certain kinds of action and discredit others. | | | In effect, the field itself contributes to the very transience in social patterning that invalidates its faith in cumulative knowledge. | | | The beginnings of this vision were developed in my 1982 book, Toward Transformation in Social Knowledge. |

| | In this view, the assumption is that knowledge is grounded in the relationship between the knower and the known. | | | This position, according to Young (1997), views knowledge construction as a kind of narrative where “human beings who live in language, live in a multiverse rather than a universe&; (p. | | | The essential difference between each position relates to what constitutes a perception of reality and how this perception is created and maintained. |

| | The Social Construction of What ? - Ian Hacking |
| | From "brotherhood" to "facts" to "quarks" to "women refugees" books can be found claiming (and purporting to explain why) these are socially constructed. | | | Some of these are taken from older lectures, not updated (on purpose) but merely introduced within the context of the book. | | | Michael Ruse examines the Mystery of Mysteries, asking Is Evolution a Social Construction ? |

| | Clifford Geertz on Ethnography and Social Construction |
| | That's why even my use of Barthes and Foucault was tentative; it was a way into the topic, but the real heart of it was to get to a position where I could say something cogent or at least apparently cogent about actual texts. | | | Yes, I would say I'm a social constructionist, whatever that means. | | | This is why, according to Geertz, a kind of New Critical close reading of texts is essential. |

| | The Social Construction of What? by Ian Hacking |
| | As a person who can honestly answer "yes" to only the first of the three questions, I found myself bored by some of the discourse and the philosophical gyrations. | | | So are you interested in social constructionism and the debates surrounding the topic? | | | It challenges complacent assumptions about the inevitability of what we have found out or our present ways of doing things." |

| | He says of the slices of the original male that when they are boys they love men and like to lie with them and be entwined in their limbs (*filou^si tou\s a'/ndras kai\ xai/rousi sugkatakei/menoi kai\ sumpeplegme/noi toi^s a'ndra/si*, 191e8); and then when they grow up they in turn love boys. | | | This book has a number of essays on ancient erotic subjects; it would be pleasant to recount them and dilate on them here. | | | So, while it is true that the approved homosexual relations are not between social equals, it is also true that, in Aristophanes' modelling at least, there is a category of males who by nature (*fu/sei*, 192b1) prefer males all their lives. |

| | Social construction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Less obvious, and more arguable, social constructs include class, race, gender, religion, sexuality, morality, memory and the whole reality. | | | The social sphere, however, is different, as important social realities (for example money) may exist by virtue of their construction by people over time. | | | Queer theorists note that transsexual and intersexed people seem to defy this mode of categorization, and note attempts by medical doctors throughout the 20th century to force such people into the male/female construct. |

| | Review of John Searle's book, The Construction of Social Reality |
| | The project of this book is two-fold, (1) to justify his Realism, his claim that there are objective brute and social facts, and (2) to explain how social facts, and the social reality they comprise, come into existence. | | | However, as humans developed, there has come into existence a new kind of fact, social fact,generated by human practices and human attitudes. | | | The second half of Searle's book consists of his defense of his Realism, the existence of a real world consisting of facts which exist independently of human agreement in representations, intentions, practices, rules, and language. |

| | Social Research: Markets and their social construction |
| | Markets are socially constructed, neither given and transcendental nor natural but organized to promote some interests rather than others; which interests and how they are chosen and structured, are issues to be determined. | | | A theory is a hypothesis specified as a particular explanation, the social space to which it is applied, the evidence by which it will be tested, and the decision rule governing acceptance or rejection. | | | My argument is that markets are neither given nor transcendental but are constructed by the actions of firms and governments. |

| | In relation to poverty social construction and the identification of it as a problem led to the eventual formation of the welfare system in the early years of the 20th century. | | | Let us for example take the subject of sex discrimination, though this problem has attempted to be addressed in this country and indeed identified as a problem, in other countries, discrimination against women would be the accepted norm in say a Fundamental Islamic State. | | | This construction however is not 'set in stone' and may change in the future from the observation of society and from a historical perspective. |
