Essential Concepts in Sociology (2nd Edition) pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Social life is in a constant process of change, and sociology can never stand still. As a result, sociology today is a theoretically diverse enterprise, covering a huge range of subjects and drawing on a broad array of research methods. Central to this endeavour is the use of core concepts and ideas which allow sociologists to make sense of societies, though our understanding of these concepts necessarily evolves and changes.
This clear and jargon-free book introduces a careful selection of essential concepts that have helped to shape sociology and others that continue to do so. Going beyond brief, dictionary-style definitions, Anthony Giddens and Philip W. Sutton provide an extended discussion of each concept which sets it in historical and theoretical context, explores its main meanings in use, introduces relevant criticisms, and points readers to its ongoing development in contemporary research and theorizing.
Organized in ten thematic sections, the book offers a portrait of sociology through its essential concepts, ranging from capitalism, identity and deviance to globalization, the environment and intersectionality. It will be essential reading for all those new to sociology as well as anyone seeking a reliable route map for a rapidly changing world.
Anthony Giddens is the former director of the London School of Economics and Political Science, a Life Fellow of Kings College, Cambridge, and a member of the House of Lords, UK. He is a very influential sociologist and social theorist, and his many books include The Third Way and The Consequences of Modernity.
Philip W. Sutton is an independent researcher formerly of the University of Leeds and Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
結構清晰,可以作為社會學導論進行閱讀,也可以作為社會學專題閱讀的基礎說明與索引。以working definition, origins of the concept, meaning and interpretation, critical points, continuing relevance的思路梳理概念的內涵,附以references and further reading。

評分作为首章,主要对基础性的概念进行盘梳,“前沿感”不强,但“基础性”强。著作等身的吉登斯,特别注重在时空中解剖某一概念。 读此书的诀窍:观其大义。在变化中看不变。 大要:Structure/Agency 结构/机动即是描述社会的矛盾机制,是社会学试图理解社会对个人(结构)的影响...

評分这些概念都是西方社会学中最经典、常用的东西,学习时:一要让自己不再陌生;二要搞清其核心内涵;三要想明白怎么用,怎么来更好地理解社会。 比如我今天了解到说十年前我校某校区的一万元电缆失窃,连小推车也没了,因为没有监控所以追查不出,电缆老板气绝了。后来因为这群保...
