Backstage Collapsed: Universal Recording and the Architecture of Courtship

A panelist on a recent broadcast conversation made the following argument. Young people across the wealthy world are not having children. Before they do not have children, they do not date. Before they do not date, they do not interact at the dances, the parties, the mixers their parents and grandparents used as the primary infrastructure for finding mates. Even when they show up at such gatherings, they hold the wall, not approaching, not asking, not risking the awkward overture that has been the entry-cost of human pairing for as long as human pairing has been formalized into ritual occasions. The panelist asked why, and answered himself. They are afraid of being recorded. They are afraid that any silly thing they say or any failed dance step or any drunk confession will be filmed and uploaded and used against them by people they cannot identify in advance. So they withdraw. The species, the panelist concluded, cannot continue under such conditions, and the only available remedy is to restrict the technology that produced those conditions. […]

Osservatorio Repressione

I am weighing up the explosion of outraged horror that would result if I asked my sociologist parents if they think Erving Goffman might have been autistic. It would really be something, but maybe we could work through it to have a conversation I would find useful about autistic strengths.

Goffman was by many accounts a pretty intense guy with a piercing ability to detect and articulate the unspoken social scripts and stage personas operating in any given social situation — even as it was unfolding. He startled colleagues by interrupting them to share his analysis of the small talk they were making with each other.

(Perhaps that was just him being the Great White Cishet Intellectual Man, but let's be real, the overlap between the privileges of that social role and the accommodation of autistic deficits is considerable.)

But I am really more interested in his strengths. His ability to identify deep patterns and his relative lack of respect for the very social norms he was describing both ping pretty loudly on my radar for fellow autistic folks.

He also practiced intellectual empathy to a fairly radical extent. His book Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity is the best place to start on reading his work. He uses the word 'normals' throughout to refer to people who are unaffected by stigma (or successfully manage it). It is hilariously insulting 😂

He also marshals so many examples of the many and varied ways in which stigmas present that it was very clear he had been paying very close attention to the lived experiences of marginalised groups. He doesn't call for sympathy for them: rather he practices a deeply intellectual curiosity that mobilises their experience rather than objectifying it.

Again, this cognitive rather than emotional form of empathy pings on my neurodivergent radar.

I imagine my parents making two strong objections: you can't diagnose people at a distance, and he's dead, which is a considerable distance. (Maybe I can train an AI on his work and ask it? I kid, I kid.) Second, it may not make sense to diagnose anachronistically, i.e. using a 2000s definition of autism to describe someone born in the early 1900s.

But autistic folks need to recognise our strengths and perhaps even claim our heroes. Whether he was or not, Goffman's strengths and peculiarities make him someone I admire.

Intrusion et renfermement

En ligne, décembre 2024. Ce jour-là, le téléphone n’a cessé de vibrer. Mon numéro avait été ajouté dans un groupe d’une centaine d’utilisateurs de l’application Telegram. L’administrateur nous a in…

Here’s another example of contrast. In the background, a banner for the Olympic Games shows all the celebration and success. But up front, there’s a duvet and a pair of shoes on a park bench—just a reminder of homelessness. It’s easy to look away, clean up, and keep moving. But how often do we stop and think about how quickly anyone could end up in that situation? When safety nets fail, the reality becomes impossible to ignore.

And just to be clear, I’m not posting this to get likes or attention. I really couldn’t care less if anyone likes my photos. What I want to show is the side we usually look past. Maybe we need to remind ourselves more often of how lucky we are? We often take our comfort for granted, but it’s fragile. Small changes in circumstances can have a big impact.

I could also question myself, whether it’s fair or not to expose these people. But then again, what’s the alternative? Ignoring them entirely?

# El poder psiquiátrico y la sociología de la enfermedad mental: un balance

José Luis Moreno Pestaña

En este artículo se analiza la visión de #Foucault sobre la enfermedad mental en dos de sus cursos de los años 70: El poder psiquiátrico y Los anormales. Durante el análisis se compara  a Foucault con Erving #Goffman y se establecen los límites y las virtudes del filósofo francés. Finalmente se propone, inspirándose en Ian #Hacking, un modelo para la #sociología de la #enfermedadmental
