Italian Sociology,1945–2010
Author: Andrea Cossu
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137589418
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive profile of the development of sociology in Italy from the post-war period to the present day. The first English-language account of the history of Italian sociology, it focuses on the process of institutionalization of the discipline within the Italian university system and its changing relationships with extra-academic actors and institutions: political parties, unions, the Catholic Church, political and social movements, as well as local and national governments. Arranged chronologically across eight chapters, it presents all major steps in the development of the discipline in a theoretically-informed but accessible way. The authors explore the pioneering phase of the 1950s to the establishment of the first academic chairs in the 1960s, from the student revolts of 1968 to the creation of the first sociological association in the 1980s and up to the present day. It will appeal to social science and history scholars and students, as well as readers interested in the history of Contemporary Italy.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
¿Qué es la sociología apasionada? ¿Es la sociología digna de pasión? Generalmente, la sociología se muestra como un sistema objetivo de pensamiento y práctica. La pasión se debe evitar o es, como mínimo, algo sospechoso. Ahora, por fin, contamos con un libro que argumenta de forma sincera sobre la pasión como algo necesario en la sociología. Este texto no trata simplemente de la sociología apasionada, sino que la demuestra. Este libro pretende entusiasmar a los lectores con un análisis de lo que puede hacer la sociología para ayudarles a comprender sus vidas y las condiciones sociales de nuestro tiempo. Presentando y desarrollando gran número de temas principales, entre ellos la identidad, el conocimiento, la metáfora, la magia, el deseo, el poder, la vida cotidiana y la mediación cultural, Sociología apasionada nos invita a analizar dichos temas mediante prácticas de lectura, escritura, oratoria, aprendizaje, narrativa, representación y organización. Diseñado para alumnos de todos los niveles, este libro altera notablemente la aproximación al estudio de la sociología, desafiando los manuales consolidados y apuntando nuevas e inspiradoras formas de acercarse a la materia.

The Routledge International Handbook of Talcott Parsons Studies
Author: A. Javier Treviño
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000475166
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Talcott Parsons was the leading theorist in American sociology—and perhaps in world sociology—from the 1940s to the 1970s. He created the dominant school of thought that made "Parsonian" a standard description of a theoretical attempt to unify social science, as reflected in the fact that his contributions to the discipline cover a range of issues, including medicine, the family, religion, law, the economy, race relations, and politics—to name but a few. This volume brings together leading scholars working in the field of "Parsonian Studies" to explore the background of Parsons’s work, the content of his oeuvre, and his subsequent influence. Thematically organized, it covers Parsons’s contributions and impacts in areas including the philosophy and methodology of the social sciences; cultural sociology; personality, mental illness, and psychoanalysis; and economics and political and economic sociology. In addition, it considers his influence in different areas of the world and on particular students, and offers insights into the Parsonian tradition’s practical application to contemporary social issues. An authoritative, comprehensive, and in-depth critical assessment of the Parsonian legacy, The Routledge International Handbook of Talcott Parsons Studies will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and in sociology and social theory in particular, with interests in the history of sociology and the enduring relevance of Talcott Parsons.

Charting a New Course
Author: Fernando Henrique Cardoso
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780742508934
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
For decades F. H. Cardoso has been among the most influential of Latin American scholars, his writings on globalization, dependency, and politics having reached a world-wide audience. This book, the third by Cardoso to appear in English, is the first to incorporate essays written during his tenure as president of Brazil. The transformation of Cardoso's economic and political approach is nowhere better documented than in this broad-ranging collection of writings that span Cardoso's early theoretical work through his pragmatic agenda for Brazil in a rapidly changing world economy. The book also traces the development of one of the world's leading intellectuals, who took theory into the arena of policy when he became head of state.
