The Rebirth of Private Policing
ISBN: 9780415051934 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until recently, private policing has been ignored by those pre-occupied with the activities of public police officers. There has been very little discussion of the role of policing, which is carried out by a variety of agents, in relation to the role of the police, a specific group of people. Les Johnston argues that policing, far from being the exclusive preserve of this group, is an activity undertaken by a mixture of public, private, and quasi-public agents. He provides a new view opposed to models of police history which see the emergence of the new police (since 1829) as signalling a...

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 / 288 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...

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.

Seidler argues that the identification of masculinity with reason has played a central role in Western social theory and philosophy.
