The Identity and Objectification of Personal Trainers [abstract]
(The Body Project, 2008) Sukanek, Jennifer; Body Project (1st : 2008 : Columbia, Missouri)
The purpose of this study is to examine how personal trainers perceive their body. My research questions are the following: How does the structure or the focus of the organization affect the trainer's perception of their bodies; how does gender, age, years of employment, clientele, focus of the organization etc. affect these trainers; do these trainers internalize external cues of maintaining a certain body type, and how does that affect them?
Operation rescue, vocabularies of motive, and tactical action: a study of movement framing in the practice of quasi-nonviolence
(JAI Press, Inc., 1997) Johnson, Victoria L. (Victoria Lee); University of Missouri-Columbia. College of Arts and Sciences. Department of Sociology
Since the end of World War II an increasing number of social movements have claimed that they are practicing nonviolent civil disobedience tactics. Too often these claims are uncritically accepted even when proposed by movements whose rhetoric may be harsh and punitive. This paper explores the relationship between collective action frames and the practice of nonviolent and violent action tactics.
