Although both developed sociology par excellence in their respective countries and were contemporaneous, neither seemed conscious of the other--they worked separately. The analysis of conflict comprises an exercise in comparative theoretical annlysis. The first problem, then, wi~l be to present a framework for comparing Durkheim and Weber. After a brief comment on the " times" in which they wrote, we move to an examination of conflict in first Durkheim End then Weber. The peper will end with a comparison and conclusion.Publication SOME PERSPECTIVES ON NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-04-01) Braun, Elizabeth V.Through non-verbal communication man may demonstrate behavior as meaningfully as he does through spoken language. Non-verbal language may be communicated in conjunction with speech in face-to-face encounters or may occur independently. It can be observed at random in public places such as elevators, bus stops and parks or in private places such as social gatherings or offices. Further, each individual emits behavior in an unconscious context through facial expression, dress, posture, laughter, space dynamics, use of time and other phenomena. In face-to-face meetings he is aware of his ability to convey meaning and in addition he emanates behavioral cues--communications--over which he has no control. When he is not engaged in an encounter he may control his behavior if he believes others are watching. Whether he controls it or not) it is still capable of giving off cues with which observers interact. When he is aware he is alone he may continue to behave as though in the presence of others or he may discard forms customary to his public manner.Publication Kansas Journal of Sociology, Volume 6, Number 1 (SPRING, 1970): Front Matter(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-04-01)
