“…Gestures used in hailing cabs clearly rely on underlying shared assump tions like those Goffman speaks of; yet, unlike Goffman's orders of interaction, there is scholarly precedent for considering gestures in terms of their historical and geographical spread (cf. Morris et al 1979;Bremmer and Roodenburg 1991) and the political context of their reception (Braddick 2009;Herzfeld 2009). By considering the gestures and other moves used in hailing cabs in terms of the micropolitics which are sparked from the loose coupling of the interaction and social orders, insight may be gleaned as to how such gestures convey meaning not just in relation to other forms of gestural communication (iconic or other wise), but in terms of the power relations (subsuming both social and interac Brought to you by | Purdue University Libraries Authenticated Download Date | 5/30/15 1:50 PM tional orders) through which the deployment of specific gestures by specific peo ple in specific circumstances is interpreted politically by their interlocutors.…”

The forms of emblematic gesture and other communicative moves used in hailing taxicabs are shaped by the urban built environment and by the micro politics sparked by what Goffman called the "loose coupling" of the interaction and social orders. Cabdrivers evaluate street hails and choose whether or not to stop for prospective passengers; hailers seek to communicate their desirability as passengers within the limited mode of the street hail. The conditions and con straints that underlie the practice and reception of street hailing are considered. A survey on methods used to hail taxis was sent to a listserv of taxi drivers in San Francisco, California. The drivers evaluated street hails in terms of two axesclarity and propriety -and three levels of context: the immediate interactional context of the street; the anticipated interactional context of the cab ride; and the political context, or the political discourse framing taxicab regulation in the city.

“…It will be observed that the allegiance to the doctrine of sola scriptura resulted in a reconfiguration of the parish church interior. 13 This was brought about through the purchase and maintenance of Bibles, but also lecterns, pulpits, pews and the writing of English scriptures on interior church walls once peppered with images. The material culture of the Reformation, which was vital to its implementation, was beginning to take centre stage.…”

This will be discussed further in chapter 4, but it is important to note that the points of contention were debated at the same time as other key components of the Protestant faith were generally accepted and reinstated.…”

The English Reformation can perhaps be described as a watershed moment in England"s history -an event that changed not only the theological underpinnings of legislation and doctrine, but also the way in which parish communities experienced religion as a congregation within the context of their parish church. This thesis takes a fresh look at the English Reformation from its beginnings during the early sixteenth century through to the Restoration. How did the English Reformation become a reality within parish or faith communities and what impact did this have on those communities and on their collective faith experience? By using the methodological trajectory of material culture within the context of the Diocese of Norwich, this thesis explores the history of the English Reformation through the detailed analysis of local parish history. The focus of this thesis traces the history of eight rural parishes in Diocese ofNorwich in the counties of Norfolk -North Elmham, Stockton, Redenhall, Tilney All Saints -and Suffolk -Boxford, Metfield, Cratfield, Long Melford -and one urban parish -St Peter Mancroft, Norwich -through the use of multiple sources, both textual and material culture. The primary textual sources that the thesis draws on are the churchwardens" accounts for these churches. These exist in both manuscript and transcript form, of which significant portions of the manuscripts have been transcribed by the author and some for the first time. In addition to churchwardens accounts the thesis also incorporates detailed analyses of religious legislation, both national and diocesan, as well as the Book of Common Prayer. The material culture that the thesis draws on are the surviving contemporary artefacts within the churches in this study, some of which have not been analysed before. The thesis also draws on liturgical objects and furnishings currently on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum.The thesis follows a chronological trajectory that begins with the late medieval period (chapter 2). The furnishings and the use of space was, not surprisingly, largely determined by the theology of Roman Catholicism -it was theology made tangible for the faith communities of late medieval England. This enables the subsequent changes to be analysed in light of the shift from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism. It then moves on to a detailed analysis of the liturgical changes and consequent impact on the furnishings and reconfiguration of the parish church under iii the Tudors during the turbulent changes of the sixteenth century (chapters 3 and 4).This will show that the changes in official legislation did not necessarily equate to dutiful changes in liturgy and furnishings at the parish level. It was not only the furnishings and space that was reordered for Protestant worship, but also the rituals outlined in the new Book of Common Prayer that significantly altered how both priest and people ought to perform these rituals. Drawing on my analysis of the 1597 visitation returns for the Dioces...
