Obama Power
ISBN: 9780745681993 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is the source of Obama's power? How is it that, after suffering a humiliating defeat in the 2010 mid-term elections, Obama was able to turn the situation around, deftly outmaneuvering his opponent and achieving a decisive victory in the November 2012 presidential election?
In this short and brilliant book, Jeffrey Alexander and Bernadette Jaworsky argue that neither money nor demography can explain this dramatic turnaround. What made it possible, they show, was cultural reconstruction. Realizing he had failed to provide a compelling narrative of his power, the President began... What is the source of Obama's power?

The Meanings of Social Life: A Cultural Sociology
ISBN: 9780195306408 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Meanings of Social Life, Jeffrey Alexander presents a new approach to how culture works in contemporary societies. Exposing our everyday myths and narratives in a series of empirical studies that range from Watergate to the Holocaust, he shows how these unseen yet potent cultural structures translate into concrete actions and institutions. Only when these deep patterns of meaning are revealed, Alexander argues, can we understand the stubborn staying power of violence and degradation, but also the steady persistence of hope. By understanding the darker structures that restrict...

ISBN: 9781509518135 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Dark Side of Modernity
ISBN: 9780745648224 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book, one of the world's leading social theorists presents a critical, alarmed, but also nuanced understanding of the post-traditional world we inhabit today. Jeffrey Alexander writes about modernity as historical time and social condition, but also as ideology and utopia. The idea of modernity embodies the Enlightenment's noble hopes for progress and rationality, but its reality brings great suffering and exposes the destructive impulses that continue to motivate humankind. In this book, one of the world's leading social theorists presents a critical, alarmed, but also nuanced understanding of the post-traditional worl... |
