Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sociological Construction Lines: A Dissertation, Submitted to the Faculties of the Graduate Schools of Arts, Literature, and Science in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of Sociology) It is not the popular mind alone that is in uncertainty as to what sociology is. Even to the scientist devoted to the subject the name stands for a problem rather than for an achieved solution. The problem is, moreover, so involved, and it presents so many phases and reduces itself into so many subsidiary problems, that each sociologist addresses himself to a different phase of the whole, a different set of subsidiary problems involved in the total solution; and, as a rule, each is inclined to describe the study of sociology as being just the particular kind of work in which he is absorbed. An extreme illustration of this is the remark of a German scholar, already famous for contributions to the subject which he has embodied in lectures and articles. This man, on being asked what he regarded as the most important sociological books in the German language, answered: There are no books in the German language on sociology as I conceive it. One who surveys the various and contrasting beginnings that have thus far been made is ready to appreciate the words with which Professor Fairbanks begins his Introduction to S ociology' Sociology is the name applied to a rather inchoate mass of materials which embodies our knowledge about society. That this mass of materials includes much that is of great practi cal importance, and that in connection with it there have been developed already some broadening and illuminating points of view, is beyond question. But these points of view are not only independent, but largely isolated and unrelated, and these mate rials are presented in a multiplicity of unreconciled half-systems. The time for complete systematizing is not yet. Is it therefore necessary for the student to plunge at random into the tangle, and wander in confusion; or may he hope to form some approximation to a general concept of the field of sociology? As school-children drawing maps, we were taught to use con struction lines. A few salient points were located, and these were connected by lines which indicated vaguely the outline of the country to be studied. From these points the pencil began to trace the intricate windings of the shore, and with reference to these lines it located rivers, mountains, and cities. The student of soci ology cannot yet lay down a chart of the continent he explores, but he may attempt to form some general conceptions, to discern and state some truths with far-reaching implications, that will serve, like construction lines, to facilitate his progress toward the more accurate tracing of the outlines of this realm, and the com pleter discovery Of its particulars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A watershed event in the field of sociology, this text introduced “a major breakthrough in the sociology of knowledge and sociological theory generally” (George Simpson, American Sociological Review). In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge—the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people. When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the impact of social interactionist and ethnographic methodology twenty-five years ago, the research agenda in social problems began to shift its focus, giving rise to the Social Constructionism movement. The present volume and the related shorter text, Constructionist Controversies, review the substantial contributions made by social constructionist theorists over that period, as well as recent debates about the future of the perspective. These contributions redefine the purpose and central questions of social problems theory and articulate a research program for analyzing social problems as social constructions. A generation of theorists has been trained in the constructionist perspective and has extended it through numerous analyses of diverse aspects of contemporary social life.The debates in this volume pose fundamental questions about the major assumptions of the perspective, the ways in which it is practiced, and the purposes of social problems theory. Their point of departure is Ibarra and Kitsuse's essay, cutting new theoretical ground in calling for ""investigating vernacular resources, especially rhetorical forms, in the social problems process.""Contributors are forceful proponents both within and outside of the social constructionist community, who take a broad array of positions on the current state of social problems theory and on the rhetorical forms that need exploring. They also lay down the general lines for diverse and often competing programs for the future development of the constructionist agenda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest book by one the world′s leading protagonists in the field will be welcomed not just by psychologists but by students, academics and professionals interested in social constructionism across a wide range of subjects. Social Construction in Context explores the potentials of social constructionist theory when placed in diverse intellectual and practical contexts. It demonstrates the achievements of social constructionism, and what it can now offer various fields of inquiry, both academic, professional and applied, given the proliferation of the theory across the social sciences and humanities. First order issues of concern within the academic world, objectivity, truth, power and ideology, are now being augmented by widespread developments in practice - therapeutic, pedagogical, organizational and political. This book looks closely at these developments and examines both the positive potentials and limitations of social constructionist theory when applied to a variety of domains. It has been written in an accessible and scholarly manner making it suitable for a wide-ranging readership.
