Self-identity and... Self-identity and Everyday Life Mooi exemplaar. Pocket als nieuw. Engelstalig. 'Identity' and 'selfhood' are terms routinely used throughout the human sciences that seek to analyze and describe the character of everyday life and experience. Yet these terms are seldom defined or used with any precision, and scant regard is paid to the historical and cultural context in which they arose, or to which they are applied.This innovative book provides fresh historical insights in terms of the emergence, development, and interrelationship of specific and varied notions of identity and selfhood, and outlines a new sociological framework for analyzing it.This is the first historical/sociological framework for discussion of issues which have until now, generally been treated as 'philosophy' or 'psychology', and as such it is essential reading for those undergraduates and postgraduates of sociology, philosophy and history and cultural studies interested in the concepts of identity and self. It covers a broader range of material than is usual in this style of text, and includes a survey of relevant literature and precise analysis of key concepts written in a student-friendly style.

The Power of Identity... The Power of Identity - The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture Vol. II Mooi exemplaar. Paperback in zeer goede staat. Engelstalig. The Power of Identity is the second volume of Manuel Castells' trilogy, The Information Age: Economy, Society, and Culture. It deals with the social, political, and cultural dynamics associated with the technological transformation of our societies and with the globalization of the economy. It analyzes the importance of cultural, religious, and national identities as sources of meaning for people, and the implications of these identities for social movements. It studies grassroots mobilizations against the unfettered globalization of wealth and power, and considers the formation of alternative projects of social organization, as represented by the environmental movement and the women's movement. It also analyzes the crisis of the nation-state and its transformation into a network state, and the effects on political democracies of the difficulties of international governance and the submission of political representation to the dictates of media politics and the politics of scandal. This substantially expanded second edition updates and elaborates the analysis of these themes, adding new sections on al-Qaeda and global terrorist networks, on the anti-globalization movement, on American unilateralism and the conflicts of global governance, on the crisis of political legitimacy throughout the world, and on the theory of the network state.

Marx, Freud en de... Marx, Freud en de vrijheid Paperback in goede staat. Naam voorin. Marx was in staat een verband te leggen tussen de geestelijke erfenis van het humanisme der Verlichting en het Duitse Idealisme enerzijds en anderzijds de realiteit van economische en maatschappelijke feiten. Op die manier wist hij de fundamenten voor een nieuwe wetenschap inzake mens en maatschappij te leggen, die empirisch is, maar tegelijkertijd doordrenkt is van de geest van de westerse humanistische traditie. Ondanks het feit dat deze geest van humanisme wordt veronachtzaamd en verdraaid bij het merendeel van de stelsels die er zich op laten voorstaan te spreken in naam van Marx geloof ik, zoals ik zal trachten in dit boek aan te tonen, dat een renaissance van het Westerse humanisme Marx zijn vooraanstaande plaats in de geschiedenis van het menselijk denken zal teruggeven.Maar ook al moet dit gezegd worden, het zou naief zijn de betekenis van Freud, omdat hij nimmer de hoogte van een Marx bereikte, uit het oog te verliezen. Hij is de grondlegger van een nieuwe wetenschappelijke psychologie en zijn ontdekking van de onbewuste processen en de dynamische aard van de persoonlijkheidsstructuur is een unieke bijdrage tot de menswetenschappen en heeft het beeld van de mens voor goed veranderd.

Reassembling the... Reassembling the Social, An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory Hardback met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. Engelstalig. Geillustreerd. Reassembling the Social is a fundamental challenge from one of the world's leading social theorists to how we understand society and the 'social'. Bruno Latour's contention is that the word 'social', as used by Social Scientists, has become laden with assumptions to the point where it has become misnomer. When the adjective is applied to a phenomenon, it is used to indicate a stablilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that in due course may be used to account for another phenomenon. But Latour also finds the word used as if it described a type of material, in a comparable way to an adjective such as 'wooden' or 'steely'. Rather than simply indicating what is already assembled together, it is now used in a way that makes assumptions about the nature of what is assembled. It has become a word that designates two distinct things: a process of assembling; and a type of material, distinct from others. Latour shows why 'the social' cannot be thought of as a kind of material or domain, and disputes attempts to provide a 'social explanations' of other states of affairs. While these attempts have been productive (and probably necessary) in the past, the very success of the social sciences mean that they are largely no longer so. At the present stage it is no longer possible to inspect the precise constituents entering the social domain. Latour returns to the original meaning of 'the social' to redefine the notion, and allow it to trace connections again. It will then be possible to resume the traditional goal of the social sciences, but using more refined tools. Drawing on his extensive work examining the 'assemblages' of nature, Latour finds it necessary to scrutinize thoroughly the exact content of what is assembled under the umbrella of Society. This approach, a 'sociology of associations', has become known as Actor-Network-Theory, and this book is an essential introduction both for those seeking to understand Actor-Network Theory, or the ideas of one of its most influential proponents.

Morality and the... Morality and the Regulation of Social Behavior, Groups as Moral Anchors Paperback in goede staat. Lichte gebruikssporen. Engelstalig. Morality indicates what is the 'right' and what is the 'wrong' way to behave. It is one of the most popular areas of research in contemporary social psychology, driven in part by recent political-economic crises and the behavioral patterns they exposed. In the past, work on morality tended to highlight individual concerns and moral principles, but more recently researchers have started to address the group context of moral behavior. In Morality and the Regulation of Social Behavior: Groups as Moral Anchors, Naomi Ellemers builds on her extensive research experience to draw together a wide range of insights and findings on morality. She offers an essential integrative summary of the social functions of moral phenomena, examines how social groups contribute to moral values, and explains how groups act as 'moral anchors'. Her analysis suggests that intragroup dynamics and the desire to establish a distinct group identity are highly relevant to understanding the implications of morality for the regulation of individual behavior. Yet, this group-level context has not been systematically taken into account in research on morality, nor is it used as a matter of course to inform attempts to influence moral behavior. Building on social identity and self-categorization principles, this unique book explicitly considers social groups as an important source of moral values, and examines how this impacts on individual decision making as well as collective behaviors and relations between groups in society. Throughout the book, Ellemers presents results from her own research to elucidate how social behavior is affected by moral concerns. In doing this, she highlights how such insights advance our understanding of moral behavior and moral judgments for of people who live together in communities and work together in organizations. Morality and the Regulation of Social Behavior is essential reading for academics and students in social psychology and related disciplines, and is an invaluable resource for practitioners interested in understanding moral behavior.

Collectief denken en creativiteit dienen individueel en logisch denken te vervangen wil onze cultuur op termijn overleven.

Halting the Sexual... Halting the Sexual Predators Among Us Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag, als nieuw. Like new. Fine Copy. Text in Engish. Recently, the National Center for Victims of Crime reported annual figures showing 103,845 children were sexually abused, while in that same year there was a 20% increase in all rape incidents and a 33% increase in sexual assaults. Incarceration and therapy have not reduced the rates, points out this author. The rate of incarceration has increased, but incidence of sex crimes is not waning. Dobbert warns we must all play a vital role to reduce such crimes, by prevention. The seasoned forensic examiner enables us to see life through the sexual predator's eyes, to understand the motives and intentions of people with abnormal and uncontrollable desires. He argues we can create a safer world by removing the opportunity for such people to act on their ideas.The author clearly explains disorders from exhibitionism to pedophilia, and presents scenes that illustrate precursor behaviors shown by people preparing to act on such disordered thinking. Also illustrated are stalking patterns common to mentally ill people who commit sexual assaults or lust murders, including the activities of Kenneth Bianci, the Hillside Strangler, and Jeffrey Dahmer, whose serial lust homicides horrified the world. Community activists, teachers, principals, police officers, prosecutors, social workers, and students of criminal justice, forensic psychology, and psychopathology will find this volume of interest.

De grenzeloze generatie De grenzeloze generatie Mooi exemplaar. Paperback als nieuw. De jongste generatie leeft intens, gefascineerd door uiterlijk, kicks en netwerken; opgevoed in vrijheid en voorspoed. Toch worstelt een deel van de jongeren met problemen die een leger hulpverleners maar niet onder controle krijgt. Sinds de omarming van het forever young-ideaal rust er een taboe op opvoeden met autoriteit en worden deugden als zelfbeheersing, geduld en onbaatzuchtigheid gebrekkig overgedragen. Jongeren zijn nog niet volwassen en hun ouders gedragen zich soms onvolwassen. De schadelijke gevolgen van deze collectieve onvolwassenheid zien we om ons heen: obesitas, alcoholmisbruik, oplopende schulden en publieke agressie.De grenzeloze generatie stoelt op het Mentality-waardenonderzoek van Motivaction, waarvoor tussen 1997 en 2009 ruim 20.000 personen diepgaand zijn ondervraagd. Ook komen in dit opiniërende boek prominente opiniemakers en jongeren aan het woord. Deze uitgave maakt een complex maatschappelijk vraagstuk transparant en is daarmee een must voor ouders, leerkrachten en beleidsmakers die willen weten wat de jeugd bezielt en waar de oplossingen voor de problemen liggen.

Facing the Mirror.... Facing the Mirror. Older Women and Beauty Shop Culture Paperback, in excellent condition. With illustrations. This innovative, ethnographic study of a neighborhood beauty salon investigates how customers constitute a lively, affirming community of peers during their weekly visits. Facing the Mirror gives voice to older women, who, in a sexist and ageist society, are frequently devalued and rendered invisible. These older, mostly Jewish women articulate their experiences of bodily self-presentation, femininity, aging, and caring pertaining to their lives within and outside Julie's International Salon. This book explores the socio-moral significance of these experiences which reveals as much about society as about older women themselves. Women's narratives expose structures of power, inequality, and resistance in the ways women perceive reality, make choices and live in their worlds. Furman, Frida Kerner ; € 12,50 In winkelwagen

Women and right-wing... Women and right-wing movements. Indian experiences Hardback in zeer goede staat. Engelstalig. Feminism tends to identify women's political activism with emancipatory movements. Yet how can this view be reconciled with the current involvement of women in right-wing causes? In India today, violent communalism is pulling women into militant politics, particularly into the Hindu right. This book explores the supposed clash from legal, religious and political perspectives, and considers the questions and paradoxes that this provokes for feminism. It compares right-wing strategies and tactics with those of feminist groups, and considers the issue of violence, both against women and by women. It also examines gender and the Hindu right, including their relationship to religious processes, economic development, caste politics and constitutional crisis.
