"The sociologist, just as man generally, wishes to establish intellectual control over his sphere of experience. Intellectual control over the vast content of social existence can only be asserted, however, if it is reduced in symbolic form."

Wonderfully intellectual article on "typification". 🤓

>Ok, ok, so, burger king, that name is so bloody complicated, it took me like three months of non-stop thought to figure this out. Well, you look at it and you can say pretty confidently, king, that's actually an instantiation of a patriarchal motive being, isn't it? It's like that's the typification of a fatherly figure that exists at the top of all possible dominance hierarchies. I guess that'd be a good way to describe it, and, but, it's not a king per se, when you go to burger king, it's the instantiation of an individual as necessarily being the embodiment of the transcendent ideal of a king. It's a king as such. The typified aspect of kingship as such is inexorably tied up with the word. And what does a typified father figure do? Well he provides, doesn't he? He provides food, and shelter, and burgers. Well yeah, that's bloody well right, he's a king who provides burgers, exactly! You know, you know, when Alexander Solzhenitzyn was in the gulags, he thought about food a lot.

...The spread of evangelical christianity and the typification of AIDs as a gay man's disease are why Uganda has grown so horrible for its LGBT.

Mamdani having some family there doesn't mean he "supports" Museveni's leadership. That's on the US government as a whole. Specifically, George Bush.

@sandyernestallen.bsky.social

my personal obsession, intellectually i suppose, is we're all way too into nouns and we need to get more into verbs.

so like: more action, less typification. people are ... encumbered by that identity binary of 'being a reader' or not ... in my longtime observation. and it's false, oftentimes.

Sandy Ernest Allen @sandyernestallen.bsky.social · Jul 23

I mentioned in here, but ... Maus.

Maus works. I do think comics, cartoons, illustrated stuff, hugely powerful. Audiobooks. (e.g. Mariah's, also mentioned there.) Any art that cuts through peoples' sense that they "don't read" or "aren't a reader."

whats-helping-today.beehiiv.com/p/good-memoi...

(I’ve told this anecdote before just to repeat it quickly: I used to teach Maus back in the day to my classrooms of students at the University of Iowa. They were undergrads, usually on the younger side, usually polite. Some would arrive knowing nothing about the Holocaust seemingly, whether they’d started out in Chicago or China, as were both common. My students were non-English majors being forced to take an English class, so they tended to not like books nor reading — and certainly they tended to not like me very much, probably in no small part for making them read books, let alone write essays. Anyway in my experience, Maus is THE book that could get through to anyone, despite everything, kinda no matter what.)

Drawing on Charles Hatfield's Hand of Fire (2012), we discussed CS Peirce's three functions of a sign (icon, symbol, index) and Thierry Groensteen's five principles of narrative drawing (from System of Comics), suggesting ways they might be used to describe the comics art we see. #comicsteaching

"We can start by unpacking one of Peirce’s triads, or so-called trichotomies,
of signs, with a tip of the hat to graphic design theorist Clive Ashwin (whose
application of Peirce to the art of drawing, published in 1989, sparked my
own). If we define a sign, in semiotic fashion, as anything taken to refer to,
or stand for, something else, then the drawings and panels and other symbols
that comprise comics are clearly signs.2 Peirce posited several different
ways of classifying signs, but the most influential of his classifications, and the
one I have in mind, rests on three different kinds of relationships he saw between
signs and their referents.3 These relationships may be roughly outlined
as follows:
1. A sign may be taken as an icon, meaning a semblance or likeness; that is, it
may be regarded as resembling its referent (take, for example, a portrait).
2. A sign may be taken as a symbol; that is, it may be understood as bearing an
entirely artificial, or conventional, relationship to its referent (a word, for
example, or alphanumeric symbol).
3. A sign may be taken as an index; that is, it may be understood as caused or
produced by its referent, or as being in a direct physical or demonstrative
relation to its referent: a pointer, in other words, rather like a demonstrative
pronoun (for instance, a fingerprint or bullet hole taken as evidence,
or, as Peirce said, a weathervane spinning in the wind or the sound of a
knock at the door)."

"Kirby’s art leans continually on what Groensteen identifies as the five undergirding
principles, or tendencies, in narrative drawing: anthropocentrism,
meaning a tendency to privilege characters in action and to treat each comics
panel as, primarily, a habitat for characters7; synecdochic simplification, meaning
the drawing’s tendency to excise elements unnecessary to the understanding
of the narrative, in effect paring away redundancies and representing the
whole of the situation through selected parts; typification, meaning the graphic
simplification of characters down to a handful of identifiable features (the modus
operandi of caricature and, of course, an invitation to the evils of stereotyping);
expressivity, meaning the evocativeness—the dramatic and emotional
loading or intensification—of each stand-alone image, in terms of gesture, expression,
and the semblance of movement; and, finally, rhetorical convergence,
a term more difficult to gloss but conveying, in essence, the way the comics
image strives after maximum legibility via the concurrence of all its various
graphic elements, from paneling to composition to rendering, et cetera (161–
62). In short, narrative drawing tends to be action- and character-oriented,
streamlined, dependent on typing, and expressive, and it obeys above all a
rhetorical function. Kirby’s art certainly is and does all of these things."

@svateboje.bsky.social

looks interesting. Witt always does for me. naturally i will want to inject some Weber/Schutz on typification. and some Goffman too. i think this would temper the "artisanal" angle, but still leave plenty of room for Taylor's modern expressively discovering selves. and also Hacking's novel "kinds."

That's a methodological issue with Weber's fondness for typification as well as sleight of hand with unit of analysis. I feel Marx does something similar. Same same but different!
