Download or read book Organising Modernity written by John Law and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1993-12-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important theoretical and empirical statement John Law argues against the purity of post-enlightenment political and social theory, and offers an alternative post-modern sociology. Arguing in favor of a sociology of verbs, he suggests that power, organizations, mind-body dualisms, and macro-micro distinctions may all be understood as the local performance of recursive modes of social ordering. Drawing on a range of theoretical traditions including actor-network theory, verstehende sociology, and the writing of Michel Foucault, he explores the production of materials - including agents and architectures - and their importance for these modes of ordering. The book, which draws on organizational ethnography to develop its argument, is essential reading for all those interested in social theory, materialism, or the sociology of organizations at the end of the era of high modernity.

Download or read book Organizing Modernity written by Larry Ray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reassessment of the significance of Max Weber's work for the current debates about the institutional and organizational dynamics of modernity. It re-evaluates Weber's sociology of bureaucracy and his general account of the trajectory of modernity with reference to the strategic social structures that dominated the emergence and development of modern society. Included here are detailed analyses of contemporary issues such as the collapse of communism, fordism, coporatism and traditionalism in both Western and Eastern societies. All of the contributors are scholars of international repute. They undertake analyses of Weber's texts and his broader intellectual inheritance to reassert the centrality of Weberian sociology for our understanding of the moral, political and organizational dilemmas of late modernity. These analyses challenge orthodox readings of Weber as the prophet of the iron cage. Instead they offer interpretations of his work which emphasize the reality of modernity as a dual process with the potential for both disarticulation of rational structures and deeper colonization of daily life. Not only is this book essential reading for Weber specialists but it also provides compelling analyses of modernity and the inherently contingent nature of global cultural and stuctural transformation.

Book Synopsis Modern Organizations by : Stewart Clegg
Download or read book Modern Organizations written by Stewart Clegg and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1990-09-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging analysis both explores current approaches to organization studies and relates the concepts of modernity and postmodernity to the realities of organizational structure and context. In surveying alternative perspectives on organizations in terms of ideal types, systems, contingencies, ecologies, cultures, markets and efficiency, Clegg demonstrates that no single approach is adequate to deal with the real-world variety of organizations that exist. Drawing upon unusual and revealing examples - the production of French bread, Italian fashion and `post-Confucian' Asian enterprises - he argues that their success cannot be reduced to `culture' but must incorporate a fuller understanding of the ways in which organi

Book Synopsis Protestant Modernity by : Anthony J. Carroll
Download or read book Protestant Modernity written by Anthony J. Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""It seems to have been so difficult to detect confessional influences on social theory that it has become a dogma of faith that there are none."" "So says Anthony Carroll in the introduction to his remarkable book, Protestant Modernity: Weber, Secularisation, and Protestantism, in which his ringing and perspicacious dissent reveals that conveniently long-held "dogma" to be false. Carroll frames his study with a multifaceted understanding of secularisation in the broader context of nineteenth-century liberal Protestantism. He reconstructs Max Weber's original writings to highlight Protestant motifs, reviews current secularisation theories, and settles debates about contested meanings of secularisation. This multidisciplinary volume will be essential reading for students and scholars of theology, Weber, and the sociology of religion, for years to come." --Book Jacket.
Book Synopsis Social Theory and Human Biotechnology by : Tim Owen

Book excerpt: The book is intended as a contribution towards metatheoretical development as part of the post-postmodern 'return to' sociological theory associated with Robert Sibeon (1996, 1999, 2004, 2007), Derek Layder (1997, 2004, 2007), Nicos Mouzelis (1991, 1993, 1995, 2007), Margaret Archer (1995, 1998) and Owen [2006a, 2006b, 2007a, 2007b] in tandem with a study of some of the sociological and ethical implications of selected examples of human biotechnology. The examples include the Human Genome Project, and related areas of interest such as reproductive biotechnology; the attempts to develop a biological sociology by writers of the 'embodied' school; and what Powell and Owen (2005) term 'the biomedical model'. The book is also intended to contribute towards 'building bridges' between post-modern metatheory and biological science.
