Book excerpt: Ni encyclopédie, ni lexique, ce dictionnaire s'efforce de repérer les questions fondamentales de la sociologie, de débusquer les idées reçues qui s'insinuent à travers les mots abusivement employés, et de mettre en évidence la liaison entre certains concepts fondamentaux. Il présente une analyse critique de la tradition sociologique ; il scrute les imperfections, incertitudes et failles des théories sociologiques, mais aussi les raisons de leur réussite. Trois règles de la méthode sociologique sont défendues et illustrées dans ce dictionnaire : se garder d'expliquer les phénomènes sociaux par les exigences supposées et souvent imaginaires de la "totalité" dont relèvent ces phénomènes ; traiter les faits sociaux comme des phénomènes d'agrégation ou li de composition résultant de la rencontre d'actions individuelles ; éviter les théories générales qui prétendent tirer de quelques propositions réputées "évidentes" des conséquences universellement applicables.

Download or read book A Critical Dictionary of Sociology written by Raymond Boudon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike most other sociology or social science dictionaries, in this translation of the Critical Dictionary of Sociology, taken from the second French edition of the Dictionary and edited by the English sociologist Peter Hamilton, the critical value of this distinctive work is at last made available for a wider audience. Each entry grapples directly with an issue, whether theoretical, epistemological, philosophical, political or empirical, and provides a strong statement of what the authors think about it. The discussions are considered but argumentative. By reaffirming that a non-marxist style of critique is still possible, Boudon and Bourricaud have presented a distinctive approach to the key issues which confront the societies of the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries. For some this work will be a textbook, for others an indispensable sourcebook of sociological concepts, and for most a way of opening our eyes to new dimensions in our understanding of the great ideas and theories of sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characters in some languages, particularly Hebrew and Arabic, may not display properly due to device limitations. Transliterations of terms appear before the representations in foreign characters. This is an encyclopedic dictionary of close to 400 important philosophical, literary, and political terms and concepts that defy easy—or any—translation from one language and culture to another.

Spanning the classical, medieval, early modern, modern, and contemporary periods, these are terms that influence thinking across the humanities. The entries, written by more than 150 distinguished scholars, describe the origins and meanings of each term, the history and context of its usage, its translations into other languages, and its use in notable texts. The dictionary also includes essays on the special characteristics of particular languages--English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Originally published in French, this one-of-a-kind reference work is now available in English for the first time, with new contributions from Judith Butler, Daniel Heller-Roazen, Ben Kafka, Kevin McLaughlin, Kenneth Reinhard, Stella Sandford, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Jane Tylus, Anthony Vidler, Susan Wolfson, Robert J.

Download or read book Dictionnaire de la Sociologie written by Encyclopaedia Universalis and published by Encyclopaedia Universalis. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 3279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Dictionnaire de la Sociologie d'Encyclopaedia Universalis dresse un large panorama de la sociologie contemporaine, de son histoire et des courants qui la traversent. Si on considère la sociologie comme « l’étude scientifique des faits sociaux humains », cette science moderne et en prise sur son temps apparaît comme très éclatée. La vitalité de ses analyses, la pluralité croissante de ses perspectives et l’émergence de nouveaux champs de recherche expliquent cette diversité. Le principal atout du Dictionnaire de la Sociologie est justement de rendre compte de ce foisonnement d’idées et de débats en entrecroisant les articles consacrés aux concepts clés de la sociologie et ceux qui présentent les sociologues et leurs travaux. Émile Durkheim, fondateur de la sociologie française, soulignait que « s’il existe une science des sociétés, il faut bien s’attendre à ce qu’elle ne consiste pas dans une simple paraphrase des préjugés traditionnels[...], car l’objet de toute science est de faire des découvertes et toute découverte déconcerte plus ou moins les opinions reçues ». En près de 250 articles, signés par les meilleurs spécialistes, le Dictionnaire de la Sociologie témoigne, à l’intention des étudiants et des praticiens de la discipline, de cet esprit de découverte. 1500 pages. Plus de 120 auteurs, parmi lesquels Luc Boltanski, Raymond Boudon, Pierre Bourdieu, François Bourricaud, Nathalie Heinich, Claude Lefort, Christian Pociello... Un ouvrage de référence à l'usage des étudiants comme des professionnels.

Download or read book The Anthem Companion to Raymond Boudon written by Christian Robitaille and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to identify the main threads of a resolutely complex course of thought which has contributed greatly to sociology. Although he founded no “school,” Raymond Boudon certainly made original contributions to the discipline in his own time, including his theory of rationality, his interpretation of the work of the founders of sociology, and his explanation of educational inequalities. He also presented convincing arguments about how the overly narrow utilitarianism of mainstream economists was incomplete and betrayed major theoretical gaps. It is true in any case that his thought laid the groundwork for many theoretical and empirical social studies. Through an analysis of the most important parts of this thought, each of the chapters will not merely demonstrate the scientific rigor which can be associated to his work, but also show how it remains relevant to our understanding of contemporary society and how it can hence be used for future research projects. There can be no doubt, Boudon’s thought has for various reasons undergone new assessments. Chapters of this book hence reflect a variety of points of view on how his work can be understood, criticized, and used for future research endeavors.

Download or read book French Sociology written by Johan Heilbron and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Sociology offers a uniquely comprehensive view of the oldest and still one of the most vibrant national traditions in sociology. Johan Heilbron covers the development of sociology in France from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century through the discipline’s expansion in the late twentieth century, tracing the careers of figures from Auguste Comte to Pierre Bourdieu. Presenting fresh interpretations of how renowned thinkers such as Émile Durkheim and his collaborators defined the contours and content of the discipline and contributed to intellectual renewals in a wide range of other human sciences, Heilbron’s sophisticated book is both an innovative sociological study and a major reference work in the history of the social sciences. Heilbron recounts the halting process by which sociology evolved from a new and improbable science into a legitimate academic discipline. Having entered the academic field at the end of the nineteenth century, sociology developed along two separate tracks: one in the Faculty of Letters, engendering an enduring dependence on philosophy and the humanities, the other in research institutes outside of the university, in which sociology evolved within and across more specialized research areas. Distinguishing different dynamics and various cycles of change, Heilbron portrays the ways in which individuals and groups maneuvered within this changing structure, seizing opportunities as they arose. French Sociology vividly depicts the promises and pitfalls of a discipline that up to this day remains one of the most interdisciplinary endeavors among the human sciences in France.
Download or read book Rhythm written by Lexi Eikelboom and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhythm: A Theological Category argues that, as a pervasive dimension of human existence with theological implications, rhythm ought to be considered a category of theological significance. Philosophers and theologians have drawn on the category of rhythm--patterned movements of repetition and variation-to describe reality, however, the ways in which rhythm is used and understood differ based on a variety of metaphysical commitments with varying theological implications. Lexi Eikelboom brings those implications into the open through using resources from phenomenology, prosody, and the social sciences to analyse and evaluate uses of rhythm in metaphysical and theological accounts of reality. The analysis relies on a distinction from prosody between a synchronic approach to rhythm, which observes the whole at once and considers how various dimensions of a rhythm hold together harmoniously, and a diachronic approach, which focuses on the ways in which time unfolds as the subject experiences it. Based on an engagement with the twentieth-century Jesuit theologian Erich Przywara alongside thinkers as diverse as Augustine and the contemporary philosopher Giorgio Agamben, Eikelboom proposes an approach to rhythm that serves the concerns of theological conversation. It then demonstrates the difference that including rhythm in such theological conversation makes to how we think about questions such as "what is creation" and "what is the nature of the God-creature relationship?" from the perspective of rhythm. As a theoretical category, capable of expressing metaphysical commitments, yet shaped by the cultural rhythms in which those expressing such commitments are embedded, rhythm is particularly significant for theology as a phenomenon through which culture and embodied experience influence doctrine.
Download or read book World of the Gift written by Jacques T. Godbout and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1998-10-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anthropologist Marcel Mauss, in his famous exploration of the gift in "primitive" and archaic societies, showed that the essential aspect of the exchange of presents involved the establishment of a social tie that bound the parties together above and beyond any material value of the objects exchanged. He argued that these intangible mutual "debts" constituted the social fabric. Godbout and Caillé show that, contrary to the modern assumption that societies function on the basis of market exchange and the pursuit of self-interest, the gift still constitutes the foundation of our social fabric. The authors describe the gift not as an object but as a social connection, perhaps the most important social connection because it creates a sense of obligation to respond in kind. They examine the gift in a broad range of cases such as blood and organ donation; volunteer work; the bonds between friends, couples, and family; Santa Claus; the interaction between performers and their audience; and the relation of the artist to society. Written in an engaging manner, The World of the Gift will appeal to anyone who is interested in how the world really operates.
