Yhe readings for our class this week
are Simon Gottshalk's Ethnography of the Intrerface, and
Norm Denzin's Symbolic Interactionism and Cultural Studies.

Some things to ponder:

1) How does Gottshalk utilize the enthrographic methodology?
2) Has the social world been as "invded" by mass media
to the extent that he outlines?

3) What are cultural studies?
4) How does the Cultural studies project merge with symbolic interaction?
What is the connection?
5) What are the implications of Denzin's work on symbolic iteractions
subject of study?

Knock yourselves out.
I'm on my way to Des Moines.
