Download or read book Fundamentos de teor a social written by James S. Coleman and published by CIS. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 1202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentos de teoría social (1990) es una de las principales aportaciones a la sociología de James S. Coleman, autor de referencia del individualismo metodológico y discípulo del funcionalista Robert K. Merton (1910-2003). El propósito de esta ambiciosa obra es construir una teoría social rigurosa que, desde la perspectiva de la acción racional, contribuya a explicar el funcionamiento de las sociedades contemporáneas. A través de una fundamentación teórica sólida pretende poder responder a preguntas como: ¿vamos hacia dónde queremos ir?, ¿podemos modificar la dirección?, ¿cómo elegimos una dirección? El marco conceptual desde el que Coleman desarrolla su teoría social se centra en explicar la conducta de un sistema social a través de tres componentes básicos: una relación de lo macro a lo micro, es decir, desde las estructuras y las instituciones a las normas sociales y los valores; en segundo lugar, la acción individual, entendidacomo maximización de la utilidad; y, finalmente, una relación de lo micro a lo macro basada en las reglas de acciones interdependientes. La combinación de los principios de la elección racional individual con una concepción sociológica de la acción colectiva, permiten a Coleman reformular la teoría social de una manera nueva y audaz. El resultado es un hito en la teoría sociológica, capaz de describir tanto la estabilidad como el cambio en los sistemas sociales.

Download or read book La teor a social ahora written by Claudio Benzecry and published by Siglo XXI Editores. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ni un manual, ni un libro de texto, ni un simple comentario de la obra de "grandes nombres": este libro es a la vez más ambicioso y más aplicable al trabajo real y concreto de los investigadores en ciencias sociales del siglo XXI. La teoría social, ahora propone y explora, en palabras de sus AUTHORes, una nueva lista de tradiciones teóricas relevantes para entender y participar en la compleja trama de temas y enfoques que representa en la actualidad la teoría social. Académicos prestigiosos y activos en sus campos, especialmente convocados para este libro, despliegan capítulo a capítulo un panorama conceptual de la tradición teórica en la que están enmarcadas sus propias investigaciones y argumentan sobre el camino que esos desarrollos podrían tomar en los años que vienen. Por estas páginas, que dan forma a un mapa riquísimo y variado de las ciencias sociales tal como hoy se practican, pasan las discusiones fundamentales y los conceptos centrales de esos debates: del feminismo a la sociología de las convenciones, de la teoría poscolonial a la del actor-red, de la teoría de los campos a los enfoques de la hegemonía mundial, de las microsociologías a la teoría pragmática. Tres décadas después de la publicación de La teoría social hoy, la influyente y original obra que compilaron Anthony Giddens y Jonathan Turner, este libro recupera aquella ambición de diálogo, pero intenta reenfocar la actividad de teorizar en el contexto institucional y disciplinario actual, más cercano a una pluralidad de voces no exenta de conflicto. De especial interés para estudiantes y docentes de grado y posgrado, con destino de clásico, este libro aspira a abrir debates, orientar la investigación hacia caminos nuevos y creativos e impulsar el avance de la teoría que sigue siendo, dicen los AUTHORes, "un nexo entre la enseñanza, la investigación y el debate".

Download or read book An bal Quijano written by Aníbal Quijano and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Peruvian sociologist Aníbal Quijano is widely considered to be a foundational figure of the decolonial perspective grounded in three basic concepts: coloniality, coloniality of power, and the colonial matrix of power. His decolonial theorizations of these three concepts have transformed the principles and assumptions of the very idea of knowledge, impacted the social sciences and humanities, and questioned the myth of rationality in natural sciences. The essays in this volume encompass nearly thirty years of Quijano’s work, bringing them to an English-reading audience for the first time. This volume is not simply an introduction to Quijano’s work; it achieves one of his unfulfilled goals: to write a book that contains his main hypotheses, concepts, and arguments. In this regard, the collection encourages a fuller understanding and broader implementation of the analyses and concepts that he developed over the course of his long career. Moreover, it demonstrates that the tools for reading and dismantling coloniality originated outside the academy in Latin America and the former Third World.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para Giddens es indudable que resulta legítimo y necesario seguir hablando de "ciencias sociales", y su construcción está principalmente atravesada por dos compromisos morales de base: revisar y reconstruir la teoría social que otorga soporte a las ciencias sociales en general con el objeto de estipular la responsabilidad ético-política que las misma poseen respecto de la sociedad, y, en ese mismo acto, redefinir el concepto de sujeto, respetando la dignidad y la autonomía práctica y cognitiva que lo caracterizan. Anthony Giddens es uno de los más importantes sociólogos y politólogos ingleses contemporáneos. Estudió en las universidades de Hull, Londres y Cambridge. Ejerció la docencia en las universidades de Leicester y de Cambridge. Fue director de la London School of Economics and Political Science y miembro del Consejo Académico del Institute of Public Policy Research, además de asesor del Primer Ministro Tony Blair.

Download or read book The Social Roots Of Basque Nationalism written by Alfonso Pérez-Agote and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2006-03-08 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by Cameron Watson and William A. Douglass. Foreword by William A. Douglass. The Basque people have preserved their ethnic identity and sense of themselves as a separate community despite centuries of repression, diaspora, and economic and social upheaval—one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of the phenomenon we call nationalism. In The Social Roots of Basque Nationalism, sociologist Alfonso Pérez-Agote addresses the social mechanisms that Basques employed to sustain their ethnic identity under the Franco Regime and demonstrates how persecution actually encouraged the extension of Basque nationalist consciousness. He also reveals how state political pressure radicalized one element of the Basque-nationalist movement, resulting in the formation of ETA, an armed terrorist wing that itself became a mechanism for extending nationalist consciousness. Finally, he examines the subsequent changes in Basque nationalism following Franco’s death and the extension of democracy in Spain, which resulted in the institutionalization of the movement into an autonomous political power. This work is based in part on interviews and polls with informants in the Basque Country and abroad, eliciting such data as the role that family, education, social contacts, and religious environment play in the evolution of political attitudes; the place of violence in the Basque world view and contemporary political culture; regional variations in Basque nationalism; and the factors that contributed to the resilience of Basque nationalism in adapting to new historical conditions. The result is a sophisticated discussion of the various ways in which Basque social reality is constituted and how this reality helps to create political culture. Because Pérez-Agote situates his discussion within the broader frameworks of ethnic identity, group dynamics, and the nature of nationalism, the book makes a significant contribution not only to our understanding of the Basques but to the broader study of the evolution of nationalism and the nation-state, political violence, and the complicated transition of any society from dictatorship to democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomando como base su contribución anterior en Cultura y Teoría Social, Margaret Archer desarrolla aquí su enfoque morfogenético y lo aplica a los problemas de la estructura y la agencia.

This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of International Critical Social Work is a companion volume to the Routledge Handbook of Critical Social Work. It brings together world-leading scholars in the field to provide additional, in-depth and provocative consideration of alternative and progressive ways of thinking about social work. Critical social work is increasingly involved in a global conversation, and as a subfield of social work it is rapidly becoming an interdisciplinary field in its own right and promoting novel forms of political activism. The Handbook showcases the global influences and path-breaking ideas of critical social work and examines the different stances taken on important political and ethical issues. It provides the first complete survey of the vibrant field of critical social work in a rich international context. This definitive volume is one of the most comprehensive source books on crucial social work that is available on the international stage and an essential guide for anyone interested in the politics of social work. The Handbook is divided into sever sections • Thinking the Political • Politics and the Ruins of Neoliberalism • Negotiating the State: Resistance, Protest and Dissent • Race, Bordering Practices and Migrants • Post Colonialism, Subaltern and the Global South • Critical Feminism, Sexuality and Gender Politics • Posthumanism, Pandemics and Environment The Handbook is comprised of 46 newly written chapters (and one reprint) which concentrate on differences between European and American contributions in this field as well as explicitly identifying the significance of critical social work in the context of Latin America. It provides a further vital trajectory of intellectual practice theory via interdisciplinary discussion of areas such as biopolitics, critical race theory, boundaries of gender and sexuality, queer studies, new conceptions of community, issues of public engagement, racism and Roma people, ecological feminism, environmental humanities and critical animal studies. The Handbook is an innovative and authoritative guide to theory and method as they relate to policy issues and practice and focus on the primary debates of today in social work from a critical perspective, and will be required reading for all students, academics and practitioners of social work and related professions.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Biopolitics written by Sergei Prozorov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problematic of biopolitics has become increasingly important in the social sciences. Inaugurated by Michel Foucault’s genealogical research on the governance of sexuality, crime and mental illness in modern Europe, the research on biopolitics has developed into a broader interdisciplinary orientation, addressing the rationalities of power over living beings in diverse spatial and temporal contexts. The development of the research on biopolitics in recent years has been characterized by two tendencies: the increasingly sophisticated theoretical engagement with the idea of power over and the government of life that both elaborated and challenged the Foucauldian canon (e.g. the work of Giorgio Agamben, Antonio Negri, Roberto Esposito and Paolo Virno) and the detailed and empirically rich investigation of the concrete aspects of the government of life in contemporary societies. Unfortunately, the two tendencies have often developed in isolation from each other, resulting in the presence of at least two debates on biopolitics: the historico-philosophical and the empirical one. This Handbook brings these two debates together, combining theoretical sophistication and empirical rigour. The volume is divided into five sections. While the first two deal with the history of the concept and contemporary theoretical debates on it, the remaining three comprise the prime sites of contemporary interdisciplinary research on biopolitics: economy, security and technology. Featuring previously unpublished articles by the leading scholars in the field, this wide-ranging and accessible companion will both serve as an introduction to the diverse research on biopolitics for undergraduate students and appeal to more advanced audiences interested in the current state of the art in biopolitics studies.

Download or read book The Routledge History of Modern Latin American Migration written by Andreas E. Feldmann and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge History of Modern Latin American Migration offers a systematic account of population movements to and from the region over the last 150 years, spanning from the massive transoceanic migration of the 1870s to contemporary intraregional and transnational movements. The volume introduces the migratory trajectories of Latin American populations as a complex web of transnational movements linking origin, transit, and receiving countries. It showcases the historical mobility dynamics of different national groups including Arab, Asian, African, European, and indigenous migration and their divergent international trajectories within existing migration systems in the Western Hemisphere, including South America, the Caribbean, and Mesoamerica. The contributors explore some of the main causes for migration, including wars, economic dislocation, social immobility, environmental degradation, repression, and violence. Multiple case studies address critical contemporary topics such as the Venezuelan exodus, Central American migrant caravans, environmental migration, indigenous and gender migration, migrant religiosity, transit and return migration, urban labor markets, internal displacement, the nexus between organized crime and forced migration, the role of social media and new communication technologies, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on movement. These essays provide a comprehensive map of the historical evolution of migration in Latin America and contribute to define future challenges in migration studies in the region. This book will be of interest to scholars of Latin American and Migration Studies in the disciplines of history, sociology, political science, anthropology, and geography.
