It argues that language is also only a process and hence never fixed in its representations or meanings. It contends that society, as conceptualized by experience, can never be fully captured because language will not allow this to occur. Hence experience can only be given in texts (interviews, field notes, life stories, films, and the like) that are themselves indirect representations of what they purport to represent. It seeks instead to examine how current textual practices (including theory and research) reify structures, subjects, and social experience.
Most notably, three of these texts-the film, book, and biography-are publicly accessible, while the archive is not. It is equally obvious that the authors' purposes in writing these texts were different. Lillian's calendar and letters were written primarily for pragmatic reasons. The calendar notes were organizational aids for getting her through the workweek. Many of her letters during this period were written to businessmen telling them how motion study could help their specific enterprise. 4 The motion picture Belles on Their Toes (1952) was based on the book but was reworked for the screen by Phoebe and Henry Ephron.
This sequel concentrates on the first months as Lillian struggles to establish her own career and as the children do their part to help make ends meet, and then it leaps ahead 20 years to show that they succeeded. The movie opens at a commencement ceremony in the 1940s but quickly slips back in time 20 years to a scene of the Gilbreth family at home busy with cleaning chores and singing a song. The crisis facing the Gilbreth family is announced almost from the opening scene: Lillian's husband Frank has died and she must provide economically for her 11 children without him.
