First Published in 1991, this book attempts to show the relevance of Durkheim's sociology to the debate on modernity and postmodernism.

ISBN: 9780415095730 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Anthony Giddens is arguably the world's leading sociologist. In this controversial contribution to the Giddens debate, Stjepan Mestrovic takes up and criticizes the major themes of his work - particularly the concept of 'high modernity' as opposed to 'postmodernity' and his attempted construction of a 'synthetic' tradition based on human agency and structure.
Testing Giddens' theories against what is happening in the real world from genocide in Africa to near secession in Quebec, Mestrovic discerns in the construction of synthetic traditions not the promise of freedom held out by Giddens...

Genocide After Emotion: The Post-Emotional Balkan War
ISBN: 9780415122948 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The failure to adequately respond on the part of the major Western superpowers to the atrocities in the Balkans constitutes a major moral and political scandal. In Genocide after Emotion Mestrovic and the contributors thoroughly interrogate the war, its media coverage and response in the West. The result is alarming, both for the progress of the war and for the condition of our society today: the authors argue that the West is suffering from a "postemotional" condition - we are beyond caring about anything anymore.

Passionate, vigorous and uncompromising this book takes the lid off the confused Western response to the Balkan war. The author raises a series of timely and acute questions about the future of postmodernism and postcommunism.

He concludes that the Balkan war is a key catalyst in the unravelling of the West.

The Postemotional Bully
ISBN: 9781473907805 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The topics of bullying and hazing have sparked interest and discussion in recent years. Hazing is a crime in the United States, and Western nations have made efforts to stamp out bullying in schools, the workplace, and institutions. However, for the most part, bullying and hazing are ill-defined and lack theoretical perspective. Mestrovic brings classical as well as contemporary social theory to bear on this discussion.

ISBN: 9780415087551 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the perspectives of postmodernism and post-Communism - central to discussion in this work - the butchery in former Yugoslavia is a special case because this violence is occurring in the heart of Europe, a continent which had promised never to tolerate such a bloodbath again. Consideration of rational solutions seems incapable of getting to grips with the problem. The author argues that the media have reduced the world audience to a collective voyeur passively watching, monitoring, and observing crimes against humanity in former Yugoslavia. The Balkan war has produced the Balkanization of...

ISBN: 9780847678679 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book proposes a new representation of Emile Durkheim, as the philosopher and moralist who wanted to renovate rationalism, challenge positivism, reform sociology, and extend Schopenhauer's philosophy to the new domain of sociology.

Durkheim and Postmodern Culture
ISBN: 9780202304403 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The present work is an elaboration of the author's previous efforts in Emile Durkheim and the Reformation of Sociology (1988) and The Coming Fin de Sibcle (1991) to demonstrate Durkheim's neglected relevance to the postmodern discourse. The aims include finding affinities between our fin de sibcle and Durkheim's fin de sibcle, and connecting the contemporary themes of rebellion against Enlightenment narratives found in postmodern culture with similar concerns found in Durkheim's sociology as well as in his fin de sibcle culture, contributing to Durkheimian scholarship as...

Genocide in Bosnia: The Policy of "Ethnic Cleansing"
ISBN: 9781585440047 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Few events in history have received as much real-time exposure as the atrocities in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Few dilemmas have perplexed peacekeepers and negotiators as has the victimization of Muslims in the former Yugoslavia. With the memories of the Jewish holocaust so freshly etched in people's memories, could such genocide have happened again? What catalysts vault nationalism across the threshold into inhumanity?
In this compelling and thorough study, Norman Cigar sets out to prove that genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina is not simply the unintentional result of civil war nor the unfortunate...

Arendt Contra Sociology: Theory, Society and Its Science
ISBN: 9781409438632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hannah Arendt is today widely regarded today as a political theorist, who sought to rescue politics from society, and political theory from the social sciences. But this view has had the effect of distracting attention from many of Arendt's most important insights concerning the constitution of society, and the significance of its 'science', sociology. Arendt Contra Sociology re-assesses the relationship between Arendt's work and the theoretical foundations of sociology, bringing her insights to bear on some key themes within contemporary theoretical sociology. Re-reading Arendt's...

A Sociology of the Total Organization: Atomistic Unity in the French Foreign Legion
ISBN: 9781472455604 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Examining the organization of everyday life inside the regiments of the French Foreign Legion, this book takes its theoretical point of departure in the notion of the voluntary total organization; that is to say, an institution that constitutes a geographically delimited place of residence and work in which inmates are voluntarily separated from the outside world, leading an enclosed, formally administered life. Informed by a modified version of Goffman's original concept of the total institution, A Sociology of the Total Organization untangles the Foreign Legion and the ways in...

This Time We Knew: Western Responses to Genocide in Bosnia
ISBN: 9780814715345 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We didn't know. For half a century, Western politicians and intellectuals have so explained away their inaction in the face of genocide in World War II. In stark contrast, Western observers today face a daily barrage of information and images, from CNN, the Internet, and newspapers about the parties and individuals responsible for the current Balkan War and crimes against humanity. The stories, often accompanied by video or pictures of rape, torture, mass graves, and ethnic cleansing, available almost instantaneously, do not allow even the most uninterested viewer to ignore the grim...

C. Wright Mills and the Criminological Imagination: Prospects for Creative Inquiry
ISBN: 9781472414748 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In spite of its widespread use within criminology, the term criminological imagination, as derived from C. Wright Mills classic The Sociological Imagination, has yet to be fully developed and clarified as an analytic concept capable of guiding theorizing or empirical enquiry. This volume, with a preface by Elliot Currie, engages with and reflects on this concept, exploring C. Wright Mills work for criminological enquiry. Bringing together the latest work of leading scholars in the fields of criminology and sociology from around the world, C. Wright Mills and the Criminological Imagination...

Max Weber's Theory of Modernity: The Endless Pursuit of Meaning
ISBN: 9781472462862 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book illuminates an important dimension of the work of Max Weber. Webera s theory of meaning and modernity is articulated through an understanding of his account of the way in which the pursuit of meaning in the modern world has been shaped by the loss of Western religion and how such pursuit gives sense to the phenomena of human suffering and death. Through a close, scholarly reading of Webera s extensive writings and Vocation Lectures, the author explores the concepts of a paradoxa and a brotherlinessa as found in Webera s work, in order to offer an original exposition of Webera s...

Diagnostic Cultures: A Cultural Approach to the Pathologization of Modern Life
ISBN: 9781472413192 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Some studies estimate that each year, around a quarter of the population of Western countries will suffer from at least one mental disorder. Should this be interpreted as evidence for the progress of psychiatry, a discipline that is now able to identify and treat mental illnesses that have always existed, or might it be the case that modern life somehow creates new conditions, or social pathologies? This book argues that in fact something more fundamental has been taking place in recent years: the development of diagnostic cultures. Taking account of the phenomenon of patients themselves...
