The world is disorderly and dangerous, at least to an outsider. But cultures and professions impose order on their corners of the world, providing insiders with classification systems, explanations, and rituals to make sense of things (Abbott 1981; Zelizer 1993). Max Weber ([1918] 1946a), a founding father of sociology, used the term disenchantment for the domestication and rationalization of the previously mysterious and magical. A disenchanted world is orderly, predictable, safe, pure, and boring.
