儿对他来说，表演就是表演，他非常成功地从这种戏剧性的意义上分析了总统任期。然而，当然，表演还有第二层含义：它指的是行动--在现实中表演--而不是戏剧性地表演。在这个意义上，表演指的是实践的执行，而不仅仅是它的上演。在这里，总统的表现不仅仅是印象管理，而主要是决策：政策本身的选择和执行。在空白处，马斯特说了一些关于克林顿领导下的政策制定的有趣的事情。这位总统上台后优先考虑经济，“然而他的第一批政策举措之一涉及军队中的同性恋者，这一事业在寻求经济救济的公民中几乎没有得到支持”（第168页）。更有趣的是马斯特对白宫行政混乱的简短暗示：“白宫的内部混乱很快就变成了”乳臭未干、傲慢自大的助手“。. .在白宫西翼乱扔空的比萨饼盒和健怡可乐罐”（第170页）。在他的下一个项目中，马斯特可能会将文化社会学的框架应用于权力本身的《双城之战》，他已经熟练地利用这一框架来剖析权力的表征。问题是，那些混乱的助手和他们的披萨盒如何为实际政策的制定做出贡献，而克林顿随后试图通过他的总统表现来动员支持？简而言之，文化社会学可能会把它强大的透镜转向行动，以及行动。
er. Performance is acting, for him, and he is very successful in analyzing the presidency in this histrionic sense. However, of course, performance has a second meaning: it denotes action—acting in the reality—not acting theatrically. Performance, in this sense, refers to the execution of practice, not merely its staging. Here the performance of the Presidency is not simply about impression management but primarily about decision-making: the selection and implementation of policy itself. In the margins, Mast says a number of interesting things about policymaking under Clinton. This president came to power prioritizing the economy, ‘‘yet one of his first policy initiatives concerned gays in the military, a cause that found little favor in a citizenry looking for economic relief’’ (p. 168). Even more intriguing are Mast’s brief allusions to the administrative chaos in the White House: ‘‘the internal mayhem at the White House quickly became legendary’’ with ‘‘callow, arrogant aides . . . littering the West Wing with empty pizza boxes and cans of Diet Coke’’ (p. 170). In his next project, Mast might apply the framework of cultural sociology, which he has so adeptly utilized to dissect the representation of power, to the arcane and often arbitrary workings of power itself. The question is, how did those shambolic aides and their pizza boxes contribute to the development of actual policy for which Clinton subsequently sought to mobilize support through his presidential performances? In short, cultural sociology might turn its powerful lens on action as well as acting.
