Document Summary
Looks telescopically rather than broadly, images and investigates incivility in restrictive and extreme ways and stigmatizes. Assume that incivilities lead to crime & decline. Incivilities taken as interactional equivalent of broken windows (horgan) There has been little effort at benchmarking against respectable places (more on lecture slide) No real effort to investigate fleeting, micro-level interaction. Contextual and interpretative environments play a powerful role in determining how any particular interpretation becomes socially relevant. But dirty look is a interpretation of the gaze. Rudness cannot exist outside of its interpretation! Uncovering the forgotten world of everyday incivility (13) An action interpreted as incivil that occurs in public setting.

Structured into the opportunity spaces of everyday life (41) Products of our mundane trajectories through public enviros where there are stranger (41) not doing anything special i was in walmart .
