The Palgrave Handbook of Methodological Individualism: Volume II by Nathalie Bulle, Francesco Di Iorio
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 688 Pages | ISBN : 3031415078 | 16.1 MB

While methodological individualism is a fundamental approach within the social sciences, it is often misunderstood. This highlights the need for a discursive and up-to-date reference work analyzing this approach’s classic arguments and assumptions in the light of contemporary issues in sociology, economics and philosophy. This two-volume handbook presents the first comprehensive overview of methodological individualism. Chapters discuss historical and contemporary debates surrounding this central approach within the social sciences, as well as cutting edge developments related to the individualist tradition with philosophical and scientific implications. Bringing together multiple contributions from the world’s leading experts on this important tradition of theorizing, this collective endeavor provides teachers, researchers and students in sociology, economics, and philosophy with a reliable and critical understanding of the founding principles, key thinkers and intellectual development of MI since the late 19th century.

Advancing Identity Theory, Measurement, and Research

Advancing Identity Theory, Measurement, and Research by Jan E. Stets, Ashley V. Reichelmann, K Jill Kiecolt
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 395 Pages | ISBN : 3031329856 | 13.5 MB

This volume presents recent advances in identity theory, which is a prominent and active theory in sociological social psychology and a versatile framework for explaining the sources of identities, how they develop, how they operate in situations and groups, and how they influence behavior and well-being. The volume is organized around new theoretical developments, measurement techniques, and research in the field. Theoretical developments covered in the volume sharpen, reframe, and expand fundamental concepts in identity theory. State-of-the-art techniques for measuring identities assess, refine, and update existing measures. New research in the volume addresses both individual processes and outcomes and group processes and outcomes. The chapters together showcase the wide applicability of identity theory to a host of identities, such as the religious, gender, sexual, physical attractiveness, racial/ethnic, parent, student, partisan, and group member identities. The volume editors introduce identity theory and provide an overview of the chapters. In the last chapter, they describe how this volume points to future directions for advancing theory, measurement, and research in identity theory.

Responsive Rechtssoziologie – Theoriegeschichte in systematischer Absicht: Soziologische Theorie des Rechts 1 by Alfons Bora
Deutsch | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 3658411406 | 2.3 MB

Dieses Buch stellt einen theoriegeschichtlich fundierten Entwurf einer responsiven Rechtssoziologie dar. Er beruht auf der in der rechtssoziologischen Forschung gewonnenen Überzeugung, dass die Soziologie mehr über das Recht zu sagen hat, als sich an ihrer disziplinären Oberfläche erkennen lässt und als sie sich in ihren Selbstbeschreibungen zubilligt. Responsive Rechtssoziologie kann, so die These, als rechtssoziologischer Praxisdiskurs auf Grundlage wissenschaftlicher Autonomie der Soziologie formuliert werden. Responsivität bezeichnet dann eine Form von Interdisziplinarität, die nicht auf die bloße Aufnahme soziologischer Erkenntnisse durch die Jurisprudenz hinausläuft, sondern eine symmetrische Anlage der wechselseitigen Beziehungen ins Auge fasst.

Dieses essential zeigt, inwiefern bereits drei Klassiker der Soziologie, Durkheim, Weber und Simmel, die drei logisch möglichen Grundperspektiven des Blicks auf das soziale Zusammenleben von Menschen entworfen haben. Auch alle neueren Theorien lassen sich den entsprechenden Grundrichtungen, Objektivismus, Subjektivismus und Relationalismus, zuordnen. Dies wird anhand verschiedener Beispiele kurz erläutert.

Innovation als dauerhafte kreative Anstrengung und systematische Durchsetzung des Neuen gilt als Kerninstitution moderner Wirtschaft. Gegenwärtig beobachten wir eine Ausweitung auf alle Felder, Arten und Phasen der Innovation: Innovationsprozesse – so die These – werden zunehmend reflexiv im Lichte von Informationen über Innovationen gesehen, breiter verteilt von mehr Akteuren und heterogenen Instanzen gestaltet und situativ orientiert an wechselnden und gemischten Leitreferenzen vollzogen. Reflexive Innovation in diesem Sinne wird zur treibenden Kraft der Innovationsgesellschaft.

Sociology is experiencing what can only be described as hyperdifferentiation of theories - there are now many approaches competing for attention in the intellectual arena . From this perspective, we should see a weeding out of theories to a small number, but this is not likely to occur because each of the many theoretical perspectives has a resource base of adherents. As a result, theories in sociology do not compete head on with each other as much as they coexist.

System Trust: Researching the Architecture of Trust in Systems by Patrick Sumpf
English | PDF | 2019 | 256 Pages | ISBN : 3658256273 | 7.9 MB

Frequently enabled by digitalization, great transformations are taking place in socio-technical systems such as energy, telecommunications, and mobility. These transformations indicate widespread shifts in societal infrastructure systems, rearranging relations between governments, industries, NGOs, and consumers. In this context, the question of trust in systems – as introduced by sociologists Luhmann, Coleman and Giddens – acquires new urgency, as yet uncommented upon in trust research, or socio-technical systems debates. Focusing on the energy sector, Patrick Sumpf analyzes the meanings of system and trust to develop a framework for both theoretical and empirical research, which is synthesized into an “Architecture of Trust” in systems.

The Sociology of Time: A Critical Overview by Jiří Šubrt
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 281 Pages | ISBN : 3030832880 | 3.5 MB

In a critical, comparative study of the sociological literature, this book explores the term “time,” and the various interconnections between time and a broad cluster of topics that create a conceptual labyrinth. Various understandings of time manifest themselves in the context of many individual social problems—there is no single vision in sociology of how to grasp time and address within social theory.

As we enter a new millennium, it is clear that we are in the midst of one of the most dramatic technological revolutions in history that is changing everything from the ways that we work, communicate, participate in politics, and spend our leisure time. The technological revolution centers on computer, information, communication, and multimedia technologies, is often interpreted as the beginnings of a knowledge or information society, and therefore ascribes technologies a central role in every aspect of life.
