Download or read book Sociological Theories in Progress written by Joseph Berger and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1989-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociological Theories in Progress demonstrates that theory building in sociology did not cease with the old masters. Indeed, there are many scholars currently building sustained theoretical programs in this field. This volume is the third in a series, the first two appearing in 1966 and 1972 respectively. Each volume has attempted to do several things: to demonstrate just how much theoretical activity there has been in sociology at a time when may people were wondering where all the Durkheims, Marxes and Webers had gone; to explore the leading edge of theoretical development; and to provide models to follow and an update on the state of sociological theory. The editors particularly wish to show the range of 'middle-range theory' - theory oriented to empirical knowledge of specific domains as opposed to overarching frameworks for all sociology. While the introduction is devoted to metatheoretical issues, many of the contributions are 'middle-range' theories presented as still in the process of construction - precisely to underline the fact that theory is an ongoing process rather than a finished product. This volume shows just how rapidly sociological theory has grown since publication of the second volume in ths series. It contains the work of some of the leading theorists in sociology, presents extensions or reformulations of existing theories and some wholly new theories. It will be indispensable reading for those in sociology, social psychology and related disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents the most important and influential social psychological theories and research programs in contemporary sociology. Original chapters by the scholars who initiated and developed these theoretical perspectives provide full descriptions of each theory, its background, development, and future. The first four chapters cover general approaches, organized around fundamental principles and issues--symbolic interaction, social exchange, distributive justice, and rational choice. The following chapters focus on specific research programs and theories, examining identity, affect, comparison processes, power and dependence, social exchange, status construction, and legitimacy. A concluding chapter provides an analysis of and commentary on the state of the theoretical programs in sociological social psychology. Contributors: Peter J.

Download or read book Status Power and Legitimacy written by Morris Zelditch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Status, Power, and Legitimacy presents methodological, theoretical, and empirical essays by Joseph Berger and Morris Zelditch, Jr.—two of the leading contributors to the Stanford tradition in the study of micropro-cesses. This three-part volume brings together major contributions to the development of this tradition, in addition to a number of newly written essays published here for the first time. Berger and Zelditch integrate the essays and relate them to a larger body of theory and research as they explore the importance of a generalizing orientation in sociology. Their view of theory as flux and process, the blending of social process with theory-building, produces a picture of the social world in line with the great tradition of George Herbert Mead, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel. Status, Power, and Legitimacy explores the relation between the scope of a theory and testing, applying, and developing it; the relation between abstract, general theories and empirical generalizations; and how to use an understanding of this relation to construct theories that are neither historically nor culturally bound. In the first part, Berger and Zelditch discuss strategies of theory construction, the development of abstract, general theories of social processes, and the different ways in which theories grow. Status processes are the focus of the second part, which includes: the formation of reward expectations; the role of status cues in interaction; the evolution of status expectations; and the application of status characteristics theory to male-female interaction. Lastly, the authors dissect power and legitimacy: the effect of expectations on power; the legitimation of power and its effect on the stability of authority; and legitimation under conditions of dissensus. This volume is a fine theoretical effort of great depth and breadth. Berger and Zelditch review the background of each paper, place the new concepts and principles introduced by each paper in context and examine subsequent research generated by the paper. They carve out new research areas in the social world of class, status, power, and authority. This volume will be of interest to those in the fields of sociology and, in particular, social theory.

Download or read book Sociological Theory in Transition RLE Social Theory written by Mark Wardell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current sociological theories appear to have lost their general persuasiveness in part because, unlike the theories of the ‘classical era’, they fail to maintain an integrated stance toward society, and the practical role that sociology plays in society. The authors explore various facets of this failure and possibilities for reconstructing sociological theories as integrated wholes capable of conveying a moral and political immediacy. They discuss the evolution of several concepts (for example, the social, structure, and self) and address the significant disputes (for example, structuralism versus humanism, and individual versus society) that have dominated twentieth-century sociological thought. Their ideas and analyses are directed towards an audience of students and theorists who are coming to terms with the project of sociological theory, and its relationship with moral discourses and political practice. The authors of these essays are sociological theorists from the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. They are all established, but not ‘establishment’ authors. The book contains no orthodoxies, and no answers. However, the essays do contribute to identifying the range of issues that will constitute the agenda for the next generation of sociological theorists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book culminates a career-long search for justice. I felt it important to understand what it is and where it came from as a feature of human society, of human life. I wound up in a department of education, perhaps quite fortuitously, for education enabled me to examine how experiences of justice or injustice in various educational settings shape children and young people's values, behaviors, and chances for living a decent future life"--
