Summary:	[...] frames refer to the ways insiders and outsiders comprehend activity as a deep cognitive structure in addition to viewing, and strategizing, what occurs behaviorally. First of all, it is a group that is usually not recognized for folkloric behavior because it is a formal institution, but Mechling convincingly showed in speech, rituals, craft, dress, food, and games the way that members shape an organizational culture as well as submit to (or negotiate with) bureaucratic rules, hierarchies, and systems characteristic of modern life (Mechling 1980a, 1980c, 1981, 1984a, 1984b, 1987a, 1987b, 1989c, 2002, 2005a).
