Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Social Theory by : Peter Kivisto
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Social Theory written by Peter Kivisto. This book was released on 2020-12-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious two-volume handbook of social theory consists of forty original contributions. The researchers take stock of the state of social theory and its relationship to the canon, exploring such topics as the nature, purpose, and meaning of social theory; the significance of the classics; the impact of specific individual and theory schools; and more. Both volumes reflect a mixture of what intellectual historian Morton White distinguished as the 'annalist of ideas' and the 'analyst of ideas,' locating theoretical thought within the larger socio-historical context that shaped it - within the terrain of the sociology of knowledge. Exploring the contemporary relevance of theories in a manner that is historically situated and sensitive, this impressive and comprehensive set will likely stand the test of time.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Social Representations by : Gordon Sammut
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Social Representations written by Gordon Sammut. This book was released on 2015-05-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A social representations approach offers an empirical utility for addressing myriad social concerns such as social order, ecological sustainability, national identity, racism, religious communities, the public understanding of science, health and social marketing. The core aspects of social representations theory have been debated over many years and some still remain widely misunderstood. This Handbook provides an overview of these core aspects and brings together theoretical strands and developments in the theory, some of which have become pillars in the social sciences in their own right. Academics and students in the social sciences working with concepts and methods such as social identity, discursive psychology, positioning theory, semiotics, attitudes, risk perception and social values will find this an invaluable resource.
