Abstract

[This chapter concentrates on the role of middle-range models and theories in helping to explain the emergence and impact of shaming and blaming, of particular interest in Archer’s work on reflexivity. The concept of metareflection is introduced, referring to the use of extant social resources in theory and research. Links are explored in this chapter between macro-change, most notably the transition to post-1970s financial capitalism—via meso- or middle-range theories—to the flotsam and jetsom of everyday micro-interaction.]
