MOOP Matter Out of Place at Burning Man- By Angie Scioli Time this slide to advance after 5-7 seconds. NOTE: The five previous pictures were timed to 20 seconds. The following slides are not timed. I am modeling all three theoretical perspectives just so you can see how all three work. You will only do one. Symbolic Interactionism Burning Man is about creating a new reality based on specific values (radical self reliance, radical self expression, environmentalism). If they trashed the desert, that would compromise their claim. Trash comes to symbolize hypocrisy/ being a “poser” / inauthenticity. So, trash is a lot bigger than just trash. Conflict Theory If there’s lots of trash left at Burning Man, Black Rock Inc. will have to hire people to clean it up. They want to maximize profits by cutting costs. They capitalize on the idealism of the Burners and convince them to do it for free. Functionalism Black Rock, Inc. has to get a permit to hold the event each year from the Bureau of Land Management. If they trash the place year after year, they might be denied a permit. The “playa” is an essential element of Burning Man and so they need to do whatever is necessary to get the permit renewed. If they do it themselves, it will decrease the cost of the event and hopefully hold down admission prices.
