Book Review: Orienting to Chance. Probabilism and the Future of Social Theory by Strand M. and Lizardo O. StrandM.LizardoO.Orienting to Chance. Probabilism and the Future of Social Theory. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2025.

The University of Chicago (UC) Press was a major catalyst in the rise of the University of Chicago's Department of Sociology to preeminence by 1920 in American, indeed international, sociology. The role of the UC Press in this development has been overlooked, even though a majority of books and articles written by Albion Small, W. I Thomas, their cohort, and their students in this period bore the UC Press imprint. Editorial control of theAmerican Journal of Sociology, founded by Small in 1895, was exercised within the UC Department of Sociology due to its publication by the UC Press. The University's support through its scholarly press was vital in establishing nationwide recognition and scholarly authority for “Chicago Sociology” within the fledgling discipline. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A05BB023 00003

This order went further than the Patriot Act (26 October 2001) which allowed seven days' detention of suspicious ‘aliens’. The order produced ‘detainees’ (from captured Taliban in Afghanistan) not subject to American law or the Geneva Convention for POWs. With neither legal identity nor personhood such detainees were nationally and internationally unrecognizable or illegible. Giorgio Agamben, State of Exception, trans.

Adriana Caverero has noted, for example, that the postures of the tortured and torturers, the enforced tableaux of torture, are quotations from an archive of the history of torture, or more precisely of iconic images (from Nazi Germany and the Ku Klux Klan's regimes of terror in the American South) that have been spectacularly disseminated. To quote Caverero: ‘What stands out in them is a spectral caricature of torture reduced to the level of filthy farce. Phantasmic copies… [in which] the Abu Ghraib tormenters and their victims appear as spectres’. In the case of Abu Ghraib, power only reveals itself in terms of caricature, or bad theatre. For Caverero, the unmasking of the illegality of torture is secondary to this structural revelation: that torture is spectral, fictitious, and that miming torture before the camera masks torture off-set. The global reach of the images from Abu Ghraib, the excessive visuality of the event, became the perfect means by which power represented itself to itself. Adriana Caverero, Horrorism: Naming Contemporary Violence, trans. William McCuaig (New York: Columbia University Press, 2009), p.111. 33 On the frame's subsumption of power in the case of the Abu Ghraib photographs, see Judith Butler, Frames of War, pp.72–5, 78, 94–5; on overcoming the frames that we ratify, see pp.99–100; on the ethical act, see p.180. Dora Apel has argued something similar in her examination of the twenty-first-century legacy of lynching in American culture. The exhibition of the photographic images, taken between 1880 and 1960, of lynching, and the publication of those images, between 2000–2002 has informed a new-found sensitivity to racist violence in the present that bears the hallmarks of lynching (the significance of which is often ignored by police authorities). The dissemination of these images has also been a spur to the historical consciences of white audiences in prompting them to think through their relationship with their counterparts: photographed enthusiastic, voyeuristic white onlookers and perpetrators. However, in a post-9/11 cultural environment in which the signifier of ‘terrorism’ has come to describe and define a range of violent acts, the location of terror in past and present acts of lynching has often lent unqualified support to the fight against terror abroad in terms of American foreign policy in Afghanistan and Iraq. In other words, the identification of social death on American soil does not necessarily encourage moral conduct in theatre of war. See Dora Apel, ‘On Looking: Lynching Photographs and Legacies of Lynching after 9/11’, American Quarterly, 55:3 (2003), pp.457–478. 34 Michael Rothberg, Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonisation (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2009), pp.12–16.

Introduction: the Sociology of Medical Science and Technology

In "A Study of Customs Pertaining to Twins in Bali," Jane Belo (1970) addresses a puzzling question. When Balinese commoners gave birth to twins1 (in the 1930s), the parents and twins were banished from the village for a period, their house was dismantled, and a ritual of purification of the village was performed after the untoward event. The birth of twins to high nobles, by contrast, was greeted with joy. The reason for the difference in reception of twins between highand lower-status people rested on the belief "that the twins had had contact amounting to marital intimacy before birth, in the womb of the mother. For some this intimacy was a good and very portentous thing, and the high caste princes and priests claimed that the boy was born like a god, that he brought his wife with him out of the mother's womb" (Belo 1970:3). By this logic, commoner twins, far from the gods, were incestuous: "It is incestuous for opposite-sex twins to occupy a womb; but the higher the status, the less abominable the incest, since for the gods incest is proper" (Boon 1977:138). Twin-birth beliefs form a condensed icon for whole marriage systems in insular Southeast Asia's Indic States, where high nobles strive to marry close (at best, first cousins) while close marriage is abhorred or was prohibited to lower people. Incest or its compromise act, close marriage, in short, is a statement about status; among commoners, Geertz has remarked (1982), incest is less a sin than a status mistake. The "text" of incest prohibitions has been read in a variety of ways. Some commentators explicate the local meanings of particular societies' taboos, often implying that no persuasive general theory of "incest" can be put forward (e.g., Needham 1971:29). Persuasive or not, general theories continue to be generated by others who, admitting the prohibited categories vary, are impressed with the universality of a (variable) prohibition. Throughout this article I tack between a localist's concern with cultural meanings and social and political action, and a universalist's (especially structuralist's) comparative scope-but not beyond Oceania, and with no theory claiming to explain "the" incest taboo. Using "incest" as the rhetorical motivator, I use the occasion of this essay to recast the conceptualization of groupings in insular Southeast Asia, to explore the dynamics of marriage in the preferentially endogamous "cognatic" societies of insular
