Abstract
It has sometimes seemed to me that our subject is not always held in such high esteem or taken with that seriousness which as a practitioner I feel it deserves. There may be many reasons for this ranging from inelegance of language to a fear of that radicalism it has hardly ever expressed. There may be technological and stylistic as well as sociological reasons why even such best sellers as the ‘Bethnal Green’ studies (Young and Wilmott, 1957) fail to reach the mass audiences of ‘East Enders’ or the Adrian Mole books. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
