Modern Homosexualities: Fragments of Lesbian and Gay Experiences
ISBN: 9780415064217 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Homosexuality is not what it used to be. When the modern lesbian and gay movements errupted on the world wide cultural and political stage during the early 1970s few could have seen the enormous ramifications. For although homosexuality still has its critics and its enemies, the modern lesbian and gay community has proliferated into distinctive ways of living together, of relating sexually, of responding to AIDS, of establishing identities and communities, of being political. Modern Homosexualities documents some of this rich and developing experience. It presents fragments of an experience...

Modernity and Politics in the Work of Max Weber
ISBN: 9780415064903 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the last decade an increasing amount of Anglo-American scholarship has been devoted to the centrality of politics within Max Weber's work. There has been a radical shift away from the Parsonian view that Weber was a mainstream sociologist. While broadly sympathetic to these approaches, Charles Turner argues that none of them have dealt adequately with Weber's concept of the political. In particular, they seemed to believe that, in order to demonstrate the importance of Weber's politics, it was necessary to read him as neo-Aristotelian, and play down the role of neo-Kantian value...

Intimations of Postmodernity
ISBN: 9780415067508 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One subject which captured the imagination of sociologists, philosophers, political scientists and writers on culture in the 1980s was postmodernism. Society was said to have moved into a new phase which left many of our old assumptions forlorn and impotent. Zygmunt Bauman was a leading contributor to the debate. In this book he sets out his essential ideas on the sociological and philosophical antecedents of postmodernity. He shows us how to use the concept without falling into the snares of introspective nihilism or mindless euphoria. Where other writers have bogged themselves down in...

Regulating Bodies : Essays in Medical Sociology
ISBN: 9780415069632 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Regulating Bodies provides a framework for the development of a new sub-field, namely the development of the body. Through an examination of various philosophical traditions (phenomenology, philosophical anthropology, structuralism and postmodernism) the author shows how the human body has been ignored or neglected by mainstream social theory. In integrating these different traditions, Turner demonstrates how the absent body has impoverished, not only the sociology of health and illness but the very foundations of sociology itself. In providing a general account of the problem of the body in...

Forster and Lord Reith of the BBC, these interdisciplinary studies scrutinize the children of the Victorians at a time when their private assumptions and public positions were under increasing strain in a rapidly changing world.

ISBN: 9780415073738 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sexual crime is a topic of massive public concern.

Who Pays for the Kids?: Gender and the Structures of Constraint
ISBN: 9780415075657 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Three paradoxes surround the division of the costs of social reproduction:
* Women have entered the paid labour force in growing numbers, but they continue to perform most of the unpaid labour of housework and childcare. * Birth rates have fallen but more and more mothers are supporting children on their own, with little or no assistance from fathers. * The growth of state spending is often blamed on malfunctioning markets, or runaway bureaucracies. But a large percentage of social spending provides substitutes for income transfers that once took place within families. Who...

Men in the Public Eye
ISBN: 9780415076197 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Men's domination of the public domain is obvious, yet this is often ignored in social and political analyses. This text examines the problems of public men within public patriarchies. It addresses two central questions. Why and how do men dominate in the public worlds of work, politics and culture? How do these public worlds construct public men and public masculinities in different and changing ways? These questions are examined through a focus on the past, specifically the period 1870-1920, a period of massive growth and transformation in the power of the public domain. A continuing theme...

Sociological Theory: What Went Wrong?: Diagnosis and Remedies
ISBN: 9780415076944 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Social theory is open to many passing currents. Claims to originality tend to thrive and past achievements are often ignored. In Sociologiocal Theory: What Went Wrong? Mouzelis claims that "problems" currently being isolated are not really problems, and that "achievements" claimed are little more than pretensions. He argues that we have been premature to dismiss thinkers from the late 1950s and early 1960s and that we can build on their ideas to produce a more effective, more relevant social theory.

This text takes a step in pointing new directions for sociological and social-historical studies of health and health care. Throughout the book, the division of labour in health care, especially as it relates to social class and gender divisions, is taken as central. Its particular characteristic is that feminist critiques of health care are considered alongside the mainstream writing in the social history of medicine, and in medical sociology. Part I takes an historical approach to the types of healing knowledge, the modes of treatment, and the organization of health care found in Europe...
