Social Mechanisms: An Analytical Approach to Social Theory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hedstrom, Peter / Swedberg, Richard / Hernes, Gudmund, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The mechanism approach calls attention to an intermediary level of analysis, in between pure description and story-telling, on the one hand, and grand theorizing and universal social laws, on the other. These essays, written by prominent social scientists, advance criticisms of current trends in social theory and suggest alternative approaches. For social theory to be of use for the working social scientist, it must attain a high level of precision and provide a toolbox from which middle range theories can be constructed.

Canada's Rights Revolution: Social Movements and Social

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clement, Dominique, PUBLISHER: UBC Press, In the first major study of postwar social movement organizations in Canada, Dominique Cl?ment provides a history of the human rights movement as seen through the eyes of two generations of activists. Drawing on newly acquired archival sources, extensive interviews, and materials released through access to information applications, Cl?ment explores the history of four organizations that emerged in the sixties and evolved into powerful lobbies for human rights despite bitter internal disputes and intense rivalries. This book offers a unique perspective on infamous human rights controversies and argues that the idea of human rights has historically been highly statist while grassroots activism has been at the heart of the most profound human rights advances.

Postmodernism and the Social Sciences: A Thematic Approach

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollinger, Robert, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The sudden and extensive growth of the body of postmodernist literature has created a daunting task for social science undergraduate students--to separate, assess, and digest those materials they will find meaningful before they have acquired the knowledge to make appropriate choices. In Postmodernism and the Social Sciences, Robert Hollinger presents a valuable compendium of postmodernist writing relating to the social sciences. He reviews key postmodern discussions on such critical topics as values, identity, the self and society, and compares postmodern thinking with the enlightenment project, modernism, modernity, Marxism, and critical theory. Hollinger's treatment of leading postmodern theorists such as Foucault, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Derrida, Deleuze, Guattari, and how they have challenged traditional social scientific understanding make this an excellent volume for courses on social theory.

Social Representations: Explorations in Social Psychology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moscovici, Serge / Duveen, Gerard, PUBLISHER: Polity Press, Serge Moscovici first introduced the concept of social representations into contemporary social psychology nearly forty years ago. Since then the theory has become one of the predominant approaches in social psychology, not only in continental Europe, but increasingly in the Anglo-Saxon world as well. While Moscovici's work has spread broadly across the discipline, notably through his contributions to the study of minority influences and of the psychology of crowds, the study of social representations has continued to provide the central focus for one of the most distinctive and original voices in social psychology today. This volume brings together some of Moscovici's classic statements of the theory of social representations, as well as elaborations of the distinctive features of this perspective in social psychology. In addition the book includes some recent essays in which he re-examines the intellectual history of social representations, exploring the diverse ways in which this theory has responded to a tradition of thought in the social sciences which encompasses not only the contributions of Durkheim and Piaget, but also those of Levy-Bruhl and Vygotsky. The final chapter of the book consists of a long interview with Ivana Markova, in which Moscovici not only reviews his own intellectual itinerary but also gives his views on some of the key questions facing social psychology today. The publication of this volume provides an essential source for the study of social representations and for an assessment of the work of a social psychologist who has consistently sought to re-establish the discipline as a vital element of the social sciences.
