Abstract

The running scene rests upon a system of beliefs (a code) about the "qualities" of running performances, Membership in the scene entails the interrelated use of conversational forms and the presentation of a "team" identity. The forms consist of nomic talk, ritualized lying and code truth telling. Within each form, the runner may "lie" about or manage informa- tion regarding running performances in order to construct, maintain or at- tack the system of beliefs. The "lie," then, plays a major role in the scene as a device of social interaction.
