This work is a guide which locates Elias' work within the development of sociology and also against the background of current debates. Between the 1930s and 1980s he developed an approach to social theory which is now beginning to take root in contemporary social research and theory. Since the translation of his work into English from the 1980s onwards, a growing number of articles on such topics as health, sexuality, crime, national and ethnic identity, and feminimity and globalization, in a variety of disciplines, refer to Elias as an authority in the history of emotions, identity, violence, the body and state formation.
