Book Synopsis Handbook of Contemporary European Social Theory by : Gerard Delanty
Download or read book Handbook of Contemporary European Social Theory written by Gerard Delanty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative publication maps out the broad and interdisciplinary field of contemporary European social theory. It covers sociological theory, the wider theoretical traditions in the social sciences including cultural and political theory, anthropological theory, social philosophy and social thought in the broadest sense of the term. This volume surveys the classical heritage, the major national traditions and the fate of social theory in a post-national and post-disciplinary era. It also identifies what is distinctive about European social theory in terms of themes and traditions. It is divided into five parts: disciplinary traditions, national traditions, major schools, key themes and the reception of European social theory in American and Asia. Thirty-five contributors from nineteen countries across Europe, Russia, the Americas and Asian Pacific have been commissioned to utilize the most up-to-date research available to provide a critical, international analysis of their area of expertise. Overall, this is an indispensable book for students, teachers and researchers in sociology, cultural studies, politics, philosophy and human geography and will set the tone for future research in the social sciences.

Book Synopsis Discurso y conocimiento by : Teun van Dijk
Download or read book Discurso y conocimiento written by Teun van Dijk and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discurso y conocimiento se trata de un libro sobre las maneras que tienen los usuarios del lenguaje en gestionar el conocimiento en el discurso. Trata sobre el tipo de conocimiento general, sociocultural, que periodistas y lectores, entre muchos otros usuarios del lenguaje, han de tener para ser capaces de escribir o leer y comprender una noticia, para participar en una conversación, para dictar una clase o participar en reuniones profesionales, así como para muchos otros géneros de discursos. Hay muchos miles de libros sobre conocimiento, en variadas disciplinas, y muchos cientos de libros sobre discurso. Sin embargo, pese a las múltiples e interesantes relaciones entre las dos nociones, no existe ni siquiera una monografía que, sistemáticamente, se centre en el estudio de esas relaciones. La intención de este libro es, justamente, hacer eso. En esta monografía hemos mostrado, necesariamente a los más altos y, por lo tanto, más superficiales niveles, que el estudio del conocimiento se debe llevar a cabo de una manera profundamente integrada, como acabamos de mostrar en las últimas décadas para el estudio del discurso.

Book Synopsis Sociology in Mexico by : Gina Zabludovsky
Download or read book Sociology in Mexico written by Gina Zabludovsky and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-09 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a condensed history of Sociology in Mexico from its origins, through to the middle of the 19th century and up to the present day. The book analyses the interaction between sociology and the main economic, political and social change in the country, including the 1910 Mexican Revolution, the main social movements, the role of the intellectual exiles from Spain and Latin America, and the participation of women, who have often remained invisible in the history of sociology. The book explores how sociological discourse played a fundamental role in the separation of secular and public education and the search for a ‘national project’ from 1868 onwards, despite the lack of an institute of social research until 1930; how sociology became an autonomous social science, led by a few intellectuals and public figures, as it became institutionalized in universities, and the effect this had on the development of the discipline; the influence of Marxism during the 1970s; and the progression from a process of specialization after the fall of the Berlin Wall to a new trend of working in collective projects with an increasing interdisciplinary perspective in the first decades of the 21st century.
Book Synopsis Imaginaries of Migration by : Yolanda López García
Download or read book Imaginaries of Migration written by Yolanda López García and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do Mexican migrants in Germany perceive themselves and their lives? Innovatively combining theories of interculturality and social imaginaries, Yolanda López García uses the anthropological method of life stories to investigate the understudied area of Mexican migration to Germany. She discusses areas such as quality of life as a motivation for migration, the role of banal nationalism in imaginaries, the dynamic subjective re-construction of Mexicanness, and the process of (imagined) »Germanisation«. Yolanda López García ultimately argues that individuals, as social agents, engage with and construct new emerging imaginaries, which may be viewed as important engines of social change.
Book Synopsis The ISA Handbook in Contemporary Sociology by : Ann Denis
Download or read book The ISA Handbook in Contemporary Sociology written by Ann Denis and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-05-22 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Representing the fruit of in-depth dynamics it invites us to give all necessary attention to the concepts of conflict, cooperation and competition. By reflecting on the possible articulations of these concepts and attempting to apply them in diverse fields of social science the editors give voice to those who are studying the world as it is and perform the service of returning a set of concepts, approaches or paradigms to their legitimate place." - Michel Wieviorka, President, International Sociological Association This ISA Handbook presents and tracks the transformation of the societies and social relations that characterize the twenty-first century. The volume is organized around a conceptualization of three processes that are fundamental to the analyses of micro, meso and macro social relations: conflict, competition, and cooperation. In addition to chapters that delve into sociological theory, case studies and overviews of subfields discuss and contextualize debates from an international perspective, incorporating relevant material about North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Chapters on topics and fields crucial to the experience of people around the world include, among others: childhood studies, consumption, hunger, labour studies, peace-keeping, law, health, sport, and welfare. Systematic and informed, the handbook will serve readers in all branches of the social sciences, providing both experienced researchers and novices with the materials to explore the different domains of contemporary life.
Book Synopsis Reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues by : Dequan Wang
Download or read book Reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues written by Dequan Wang and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues were investigated using different methods. The studies aimed at providing insights into elementary reactions, and go beyond these to more complexchemical reactions. By comparison of the reaction probabilities of H+ + H2 using adiabatic and non-adiabatic methods, it was found that, at low collision energies, the reaction preferentially occurs adiabatically, but at higher collision energies non-adiabatic effects should be taken into account. For H- + H2 and its isotopologues, we can see that, at low collision energies, the reaction probabilities and reaction cross section using SM-PES and AY-PES are very similar but different from PS-PES. The reaction cross sections investigated with quasi-classical trajectoriesare higher than those calculated with quantum wavepackets. For the collision H- and D- with HD, the main reaction path ways are different with the different collision energies.
Download or read book Regarding Tilly written by María J. Funes and published by UPA. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying Charles Tilly (1929–2008), American sociologist, historian and political scientist, is essential for understanding political change and social conflict. His research focuses on how grassroots populations, through different forms of collective action, influence historical events by trying to improve the conditions of people's lives. This book is not only an homage to Tilly, but is also aimed at understanding and applying his thought. In each chapter, the authors, experts on Tilly's work, examine his concepts, theories, and methodological contributions, providing a richer understanding of them. In addition, this book is very contemporary. From the beginning of this century, mainly from 2011, important popular mobilizations, such as the Arab Spring and 15-M or “los indignados” (the indignant movement in Spain), gradually spread to other countries (the US, Yemen, Israel, etc.) in successive “Occupy” movements. The political mobilization of the grassroots movements are undergoing a resurgence, a process that Tilly would have wanted to study. This book can be a good guide for analyzing and understanding these movements.

Book Synopsis The Emotions in the Classics of Sociology by : Massimo Cerulo
Download or read book The Emotions in the Classics of Sociology written by Massimo Cerulo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-29 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emotions in the Classics of Sociology stands as an innovative sociological research that introduces the study of emotions through a detailed examination of the theories and concepts of the classical authors of discipline. Sociology plays a crucial role emphasizing how much emotional expressions affect social dynamics, thus focusing on the ways in which subjects show (or decide to show) a specific emotional behaviour based on the social and historical context in which they act. This book focuses the attention on the individual emotions that are theorized and studied as forms of communication between subjects as well as magnifying glasses to understand the processes of change in the communities. This volume, therefore, guides the readers through an in-depth overview of the main turning points in the social theory of the classical authors of sociology highlighting the constant interaction between emotional, social and cultural elements. Thus, demonstrating how the attention of the emotional way of acting of the single subject was already present in the classics of the discipline. The book is suitable for an audience of undergraduate, postgraduate students and researchers in sociology, sociology of emotions, sociology of culture, social theory and other related fields.
Book Synopsis Buying Into Change by : Alejandro J. Gómez del Moral
Download or read book Buying Into Change written by Alejandro J. Gómez del Moral and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buying into Change examines how the development of a mass consumer society under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco (1939–1975) inserted Spain into transnational consumer networks and set the stage for Spain’s transition to democracy during the late 1970s. This transition is broadly significant to both a Spanish public still struggling to redefine their society after Franco and to scholars who have long debated the origins of Spain’s current democracy, yet many aspects of it remain largely unexamined. Buying into Change incorporates mass consumption into our understanding of Spain’s democratic transition by tracing the spread and social impact of new foreign-influenced department stores, of imported innovations such as modern mass advertising, and of consumer magazines that promoted foreign products. Initially, these enterprises backed Franco’s conservative policies, and the regime in turn encouraged consumption in order to improve its image both domestically and abroad. Spain’s new globally oriented commerce ultimately sold retailers and shoppers not just foreign ways of buying and selling but also subversive ideas. Imported 1960s fashions brought along countercultural notions on issues such as gender equality. And as Spaniards consumed more like their foreign neighbors, they increasingly viewed themselves as cosmopolitan and European and identified with liberal political conditions abroad, undermining Francoism’s doctrine of national exceptionalism, thus laying the social foundations for democratization and European integration in Franco’s wake.
Book Synopsis Religious Studies in the 20th Century by : Alberto Melloni
Download or read book Religious Studies in the 20th Century written by Alberto Melloni and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Assisi, at the end of 2003, theologians and historians from various countries as well as different denominational backgrounds met to attempt an overview of religious studies in the 20th century. This meeting contributed to the debate about the effects of epistemological transitions on theology and religious studies in the 20th century. The interdisciplinary approach and the historical, political and interdenominational character of the participants' panel enabled the meeting, the proceedings of which are published here, to identity some "coordinates" on the path of the 20th century from the point of view of theological and religious studies.
Book Synopsis Identidades marginales by : Cristina de la Puente
Download or read book Identidades marginales written by Cristina de la Puente and published by Editorial CSIC - CSIC Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los primeros resultados de esta obra derivan de la Mesa redonda que bajo el título Identidades marginales de la cultura islámica medieval, tuvo lugar en el Instituto de Filología del CSIC en el mes de octubre de 2011. Trata de las diversas formas de marginación, según los modos de ser, modos de actuar o modos de pensar de los individuos estudiados, donde no están todos los grupos marginales sino solo una muestra, no circunscritos al-Andalus sino a otras poblaciones y regiones del Islam. La primera de estas secciones se refiere a los que sufrieron algún tipo de privación o personalidades estigmatizadas: pobres, homosexuales, eunucos¿ Los autores de los artículos prestan atención al tema de la construcción de la identidad cultural, a través de la dialéctica de la inclusión o exclusión en un conjunto de individuos u otro. En la segunda, los artículos versan sobre los diversos modos de comportamiento que, en cierto momento, ocasionaron críticas por parte de los autores de obras. Los individuos considerados aquí transgresores de las normas son con mucha frecuencia ciudadanos perfectamente integrados en los grupos sociales y su rechazo puede estar condicionado por factores diversos, temporales o parciales., sufriendo en ocasiones por desobediencia a la ley sagrada, crítica, marginación o condena. La tercera sección se ocupa de los distintos grupos pertenecientes a las élites intelectuales que, por sus creencias o por la práctica de una determinada doctrina son considerados diferentes por las fuentes o por ellos mismos. Se encuentran aquí individuos que se autodiferencian, y se autoexcluyen por una valoración positiva por lo general de sí mismos (filósofos, etc.), considerándose incomprendidos e infravalorados por el resto de la sociedad, al estimarse superiores de manera excepcional.
