“New ideas
are wanted.
Think, talk, do.”
“Quality is a
matter of
honor.”
Summary of “Self-Destructing State”
• The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989
– 40th anniversary of the German Democratic
Republic (GDR)
– Propaganda apparatus was comprehensive
– Unorganized, socially isolated population took
to the streets
• Collective institutions and small
face-to-face groups created by the state
– inadvertently create an oppositional public
– structured opportunities for dissent that leads to
resistance
Summary of Archetypes
The Concept of a Group Archetype
• Key features
– Image or model of a particular group type
– Idealized as following routine patterns, having
regularized behavior
– Has a common name in the vernacular
• Socially situated
– Product of a particular society
– Exists in a well-suited institutional/cultural niche
Reviewing Different Archetypal
Conceptions and Connections
• (Optional exercise: Have students
brainstorm about the different small group
archetypes, whether they are positive or
negative, and how they are connected to
other archetypes -- the following slides are
the results of their work.)
• New archetype forms: Discuss and evaluate
• Valences: Positive/negatve
• Key connections
