Book excerpt: Science ou non ? Comme les autres ou pas ? La sociologie ne peut répondre à cette question en son nom seul. La comparaison entre des configurations historiques, toujours singulières, qui fait le ressort du raisonnement sociologique et garantit ainsi la pertinence descriptive des concepts typologiques utilisés dans toutes les sciences sociales, n'a jamais pu engendrer la " science expérimentale des faits sociaux " qu'avait espérée Durkheim. Dans ce livre fondateur, publié pour la première fois en 1991, Jean-Claude Passeron montre que " l'espace logique " dans lequel la sociologie articule ses constats empiriques et ses argumentations reste irréductible, même quand elle recourt à des méthodes quantitatives ou à la formalisation, à celui de la " falsifiabilité " décrit par Popper.

Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory written by Gerard Delanty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The triangular relationship between the social, the political, and the cultural has opened up social and political theory to new challenges. The social can no longer be reduced to the category of society, and the political extends beyond the traditional concerns of the nature of the state and political authority. This Handbook will address a range of issues that have recently emerged from the disciplines of social and political theory, focusing on key themes as opposed to schools of thought or major theorists. It is divided into three sections which address: the most influential theoretical traditions that have emerged from the legacy of the twentieth century; the most important new and emerging frameworks of analysis today; the major theoretical problems in recent social and political theory. The Second edition is an enlarged, revised, and updated version of the first edition, which was published in 2011 and comprised 42 chapters. The new edition consists of 50 chapters, of which seventeen are entirely new chapters covering topics that have become increasingly prominent in social and political theory in recent years, such as populism, the new materialism, postcolonialism, Deleuzean theory, post-humanism, post-capitalism as well as older topics that were not covered in the first edition, such as Arendt, the gift, critical realism, anarchism. All chapters retained from the first edition have been thoroughly revised and updated. The Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory encompasses the most up-to-date developments in contemporary social and political theory, and as such is an essential research tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers working in the fields of political theory, social and political philosophy, contemporary social theory, and cultural theory.

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.

Download or read book Totalitarian Experience and Knowledge Production written by Svetla Koleva and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Totalitarian Experience and Knowledge Production examines, in a comparative perspective, sociology as practiced in six European Communist countries marked by various forms of totalitarianism in the period 1945-1989. In contrast to normative sociology’s view that such coexistence is essentially impossible, the author argues that sociology could function in these undemocratic societies insofar as sociologists succeeded in establishing relatively autonomous institutional and cognitive zones. Based on the self-reflection of scholars who had practiced their profession during that period, the book reveals the tribulations of the scientific identity of sociology under the specific social-political conditions of totalitarian societies. It becomes evident that the basic principle that made sociological knowledge possible was freedom of thought in search for scientific truth despite the ‘truth’ imposed by political authority.

Download or read book Bourdieu s Theory of Social Fields written by Mathieu Hilgers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bourdieu’s theory of social fields is one of his key contributions to social sciences and humanities. However, it has never been subjected to genuine critical examination. This book fills that gap and offers a clear and wide-ranging introduction to the theory. It includes a critical discussion of its methodology and relevance in different subject areas in the social sciences and humanities. Part I "theoretical investigations" offers a theoretical account of the theory, while also identifying some of its limitations and discussing several strategies to overcome them. Part II "Education, culture and organization" presents the theory at work and highlights its advantages and disadvantages. The focus in Part III devoted to "The State" is on the formation and evolution of the State and public policy in different contexts. The chapters show the usefulness of field theory in describing, explaining and understanding the functioning of the State at different stages in its historical trajectory including its recent redefinition with the advent of the neoliberal age. A last chapter outlines a postcolonial use of the theory of fields.
Download or read book De la valeur la norme written by Olgierd Kuty and published by De Boeck Superieur. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutations de la société et des raisonnements de la sociologie : un ouvrage sur l'articulation des intérêts et des valeurs. Comment penser la société dans laquelle nous vivons ? Quels sont les fondements du raisonnement sociologique ? Voici deux questions au cœur de ce livre qui propose d'articuler les concepts fondamentaux d'intérêts et de valeurs. La première partie rappelle les différentes articulations entre ces concepts qu'ont imaginées les sociologues classiques (Machiavel, Montesquieu, Tocqueville et Weber) durant les siècles où les valeurs s’imposaient aux individus et étaient situées en dehors de la négociation des hommes. Dans la seconde partie, les auteurs s'attachent à saisir les processus d’action collective au cours desquels les individus redéfinissent leurs intérêts et leurs identités. La sociologie des organisations développée par Michel Crozier et Erhard Friedberg ainsi que la sociologie de la traduction initiée par Michel Callon et Bruno Latour constituent deux approches permettant de saisir les processus de production, de négociation et d'interprétation des accords normatifs. Le questionnement est ainsi inscrit dans le tournant majeur de ces quarante dernières années : le passage des valeurs aux normes. Mettant en lumière le raisonnement sociologique dans ses transformations successives, l’ouvrage propose une introduction à la sociologie, mais aussi diverses sources d'approfondissement et d’articulation des œuvres présentées. L’ouvrage est destiné aux étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles en sociologie, aux chercheurs et aux enseignants.
Download or read book La n gociation des valeurs written by Olgierd Kuty and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2007-09-03 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts clés de la réflexion sociologique, les intérêts et les valeurs sont présentés ici sous les différentes articulations imaginées par les sociologues classiques et contemporains. Ainsi, l'idée d'encadrement des intérêts par les valeurs est inscrite dans la pensée des pères fondateurs : Montesquieu, Tocqueville ou Weber. Pour eux, les valeurs sont situées en dehors de la négociation des hommes. La sociologie des organisations, ensuite, a profondément renouvelé l'approche de la question, qu'il s'agisse de l'analyse stratégique de Crozier et de Friedberg ou de l'analyse identitaire de Sainsaulieu et de Dubar. Aujourd'hui, le thème de la négociation des valeurs s'inscrit, par contre, directement, dans l'action des hommes. Faisant ainsi choix d'œuvres majeures au cours de l'histoire, l'ouvrage met en lumière le raisonnement sociologique dans ses transformations successives, de Machiavel à Crozier.
Download or read book Apprendre la sociologie par l exemple 3e d written by François de Singly and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2016-06-08 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment faire de la sociologie ? Comment réaliser une analyse sociologique d’un fait de société ? À partir de terrains qui leur sont familiers, une vingtaine de sociologues expérimentés montrent comment ils font de la sociologie. En partant d’expériences ordinaires de la vie (« je joue au foot » ; « je deviens ingénieure » ; « je lis des BD » ; « je sèche des cours »), ils révèlent la manière dont ces expériences peuvent faire l’objet d’analyses sociologiques. Dix-sept exemples variés permettent de se familiariser avec les étapes du raisonnement sociologique : illustrant les trois grandes variables sociologiques (sexe, âge et position sociale), ils indiquent comment articuler questionnement, concepts et enquête de terrain. Rompant avec une approche académique et abstraite, ce manuel – dont il s’agit ici de la troisième édition, enrichie d'un chapitre inédit – propose une nouvelle manière d’apprendre à faire de la sociologie. Avec lui, les étudiants et les lecteurs curieux disposeront de tous les outils utiles à l’apprentissage de la démarche sociologique.

Download or read book Biographical Research written by Ana Caetano and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying people’s lives requires acknowledging the multiple entanglements between individual singularity and processes of social patterning. This book testifies how challenging and creative the study of these connections can be. It gathers international contributions that show, in imaginative ways, how a person’s life or specific domains of existence can be observed, tackled, and analysed across time. This volume reveals the potential of biographical research in the production of social theory, in the development of methodological innovation, in giving voice and protagonism to people, and in the understanding of the social unfolding of their lives. It is a testimony of a vibrant and youthful field, with a long tradition in social sciences, and with numerous connections with other study areas, namely the life course approach. The different chapters illustrate how the challenges posed by this type of research focused on the individual level of analysis are particular and what creative responses are required to continue analysing the link between biography and society. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Contemporary Social Science.
