SOCIOLOGIE/ANTHROPOLOGIE:
GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS WORKS
/OUVRAGES
GÉNÉRAUX ET DIVERS
In earlier editions, this section
was titled General Works. The section includes items
judged to be in the discipline of
sociology/anthropology, but which don’t fit
conveniently into the few
subsections which have been given separate treatment. The
user should look here for
individual works that treat sociological issues more broadly,
but also for works that cannot be
classified in the subcategories defined. Two examples
would be articles on the linguistic
study of gay speech patterns (Rendall et al. and
Rogers et al., below)

the service of a moral panic around questions of gay sex and knowledge,
youth and HIV infection” – abstract, p. [65].

“Sexual Identity, Citizenship and Medical Power of Attorney: Case Illustrations
from
Ref.: CSA Sociological Abstracts, which provides abstract and notes:
“Current analyses of sexual identity & citizenship offer complexity to
debates about what it means to be a citizen in liberal democratic
societies….I argue that attitudes about medical power of attorney are a
lens through which we can examine how lesbians negotiate & experience
citizenship in their daily lives & in medical settings….”
