I Have Been Tagged with the Latest Sociological Meme
February 22nd, 2008 by SocProf and tagged Humor, Social Theory, Sociology
From my brilliant colleague Tina at Sozlog:
“Pick sentence 6-8 on page 123 of the nearest book, write them down and pass the game on to 5 other bloggers.”
Tina’s annoyed with this, but I am not! I like memes! They’re like chain mails for the cool kids!
The book is Saskia Sassen’s A Sociology of Globalization. Here is the quote:
“One can no longer think of centers of international business and finance simply in terms of their corporate towers and corporate culture. The larges Western city of today concentrates diversity. Its spaces are inscribed with the dominant corporate culture but also with a multiplicity of other cultures and identities.”
Chew on that for a while… actually, this is typical global city speak from Saskia Sassen (who, by the way, is an absolutely delighful person and someone I consider THE Global Sociologist before that was a cool blogger pseudo… well, along with a few others 
) .
Ok, I hereby tag
Lisa and Gwen from Sociological Images
(I would have tagged Andrew but Tina beat me to it!)
Have at it, folks!
