none ; These essays are the result of sociological and economic research be-tween 2005 and 2012, and to this day. It is a synthesis of works and studies on the social action like dynamic system of the social interactions . The former ones (I and II) can be called as Analytic Sociology, the others (III and IV) as Theoretical Sociology that by definition is a speculative study, not applied at soon. In the interest of these studies the types of definitions that exists in the social sciences universe, are not important because they are really too much. Often they are just different ways to study the identical object: the human society. For us, these studies have an approach of complexity and chaos. The purpose of this work is just to get publishable and applicable the results. Readers can find the applicability with own solutions in many areas of social life, politics, organizations, in business or any others. ; Teoria e Ricerca Sociale ; open ; DELLI POGGI, Stefano ; DELLI POGGI, Stefano

Public sociology refers to the application and uses of sociology beyond the academy. The term has been used very broadly to describe any sociological theory, methods, research findings, or commentary by sociologists that are consumed (and, ideally, used) by non-sociologists. Its central aim is "to correct - that is, to make better, social conditions for the betterment of humanity" (Hanemaayer and Schneider 2014: 5). Public sociology has also been referred to more specifically as an approach sociologists use to participate in public discussions about social issues as "public intellectuals" (Burawoy 2005). This chapter focuses on public sociology in its broadest definition, as the sharing of sociological lessons with publics beyond sociologists, and includes a range of activities from publishing opinion pieces to daily work .in government, organizations, court rooms, classrooms, and communities around the world. Because many of the published works about public sociology are in response to the US-based Burawoy and the ASA, this chapter privileges the North American context.

[About the book] "The Uses of Sociology" discusses whether sociological knowledge is important. It introduces students to the main ways in which sociology is practised in the world and explores the major debates concerning its social purposes. Comparing and contrasting different traditions of sociological thought, the authors examine the different modes in which they engage with the social. Questions considered include the relevance of sociological knowledge to government, the public sphere, the media, economic life, social movements, 'race' and ethnicity. The text also discusses related issues, such as whether sociology is a science or a cultural endeavour, and whether sociological research and analysis can be detached and unbiased.

Die Debatte um eine public sociology zieht bislang nicht in Betracht, dass Soziologisieren in den verschiedenen medialen, alltäglichen und lokalen Öffentlichkeiten bereits weit verbreitet ist. Der Beitrag nimmt dieses allgemeine öffentliche Soziologisieren zum Ausgangspunkt, um die Rolle einer public sociology neu zu bestimmen. Dazu werden an zwei Fallbeispielen zugleich Einsatzmöglichkeiten vorgestellt und Grundzüge herausgearbeitet: Im ersten Beispiel bemüht sich public sociology darum, am Fall des Rücktritts von Horst Köhler zu verdeutlichen, auf welche Weise und mit welchen Folgen in den öffentlichen Diskussionen und Interpretationen dieses Vorgangs qualitative soziologische Analysemethoden zum Einsatz kommen. Im zweiten Beispiel für public sociology stellen wir mit der liveSoziologie ein von uns entwickeltes experimentelles Format vor, das fachliche und allgemeine Modi des Soziologisierens mobilisiert und miteinander in Kontakt bringt: Politische Zusammenkünfte werden teilnehmend und in Echtzeit für ein ko-präsentes und/oder medial zugeschaltetes Publikum soziologisch besprochen. Public sociology wird zusammenfassend als Aufforderung reinterpretiert, fachliches und allgemeines Soziologisieren reflexiv aufeinander zu beziehen. The debates on public sociology do not account for doing sociology already in existence in public and workaday life. In order to capture the distinct role of public sociology, the article uses these common and public doings as point of departure. It refers to two case studies in order to define public sociology's key features: In the first example public sociology clarifies how sociological methods were publicly used in the debates on Horst Köhler's resignation. Accordingly some of the consequences of this doing sociology are pointed out. In the second example of public sociology a new experimental format called liveSociology is introduced. It seeks to mobilize and utilize academic as well as common sociological practices. Political gatherings and manifestations are commented on in real time by sociologists addressing an audience co-present as events are unfolding and/or connected via radio. Summing up, in light of these two examples, public sociology is understood to call for reflexively relating academic and common forms of doing sociology.

In this article I consider the impact of social epistemologies for understanding the object of the syringe. My aim is to examine the process through which the syringe transforms from an injecting device to a tool of social and political inquiry. Paying particular attention to the uses of Foucault, Becker, Bourdieu, Freud and Latour in empirical studies of injecting heroin use, I examine the sociology of the syringe through the lens of habit and habitus, discourse and deviance, mourning and melancholia, attachment and agencement. In pursuing the theory behind the object my goal is to address a sociological object in the making. In so doing I show how the syringe has been significant for social research, social theory, and sociology. It is the difference the object makes that this article seeks to describe. In tracing the epistemology of the syringe I show how the object is important not just for knowledge of addiction but sociology itself.

International audience ; This article aims at giving an overview about the four main collections of problems and studies that have structured over the last four decades what could be called the French school of rural sociology: from the rural exodus to the "rural renaissance"; the question of social change and innovation in agriculture; the working conditions, living conditions, professions in agriculture, and the alternative initiatives and paths away from productivism; politics and organisations in agriculture. In the last section, perspectives to understand splintering and coexistence of new forms of production organisation and agricultural trade in a context of globalisation are formulated.

How can sociologists observe a war "in the making"? In issuing an "instant call for papers," the editors of Sociologica suggest three lines of research: the semantics and the symbolic representation of war (of any war, but especially of this war); how political, military, economic, and social options and alternatives enter and exit the realm of the possible in connection with shifts in war semantics; how our understanding of "the day after," that is of the future after the war is over, binds and even determines decisions in the present.

The rapid science in the modern era, provides significant changes for humans, both in the fields of economics, politics, culture, environment, society, education, and even religion. The 19th century is a century of science that is growing rapidly, this can be seen from the emergence of various scientists who provide concepts, theories based on philosophy with basic ontology, epistemology, and axiology as a contribution to the development of science. One of them, the scientist known as the father of sociology, was Auguste Comte a scientist from France. Comte is famous for its philosophy of postivism because of the many references by scientists in the contemporary era. This is based on the calculation of the success of designing the social structure of modern humans with three stages of law, but one side of the theory he produced has eliminated the fundamental value in humans, namely eliminating the metaphysical basis. In a three-stage law, more concerned with physical values than metaphysical values, this will result in a society that abandons religion and even eliminates the existence of God. The thoughts produced by Comte are thoughts originating from the west, where the basic West is relativism so if viewed from an Islamic point of view this theory will produce atheists and eliminate the sanctity of religion. In Islam religion and society are inseparable because religion is a guideline that is used as a basis in people's lives based on the values of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Therefore in this paper we will study more deeply the criticisms of Aguste Comte's thinking, using qualitative research types, with descriptive analysis methods and theological philosophical approaches.

'An essential student-friendly text for Education Studies.' Dr Gillian Forrester, Subject Head for Education & Early Childhood Studies, Liverpool John Moores University 'Introducing students to the complexities of Education Studies is a difficult task and this book will go a long way to making it easier. I will definitely be recommending this to all my students.' Kevin Brain, Programme Leader, Education Studies, Leeds Trinity University This textbook explains the basic principles of sociology and relates these concepts to today's society and education system in order to deepen your understanding of how these issues affect our lives and the world we live in, encouraging you to think critically and to develop a 'sociological imagination'. Coverage includes: the wider political and economic context for education in the UK, including an analysis of the reforms of the 2010 coalition government childhood, schooling and pupil voice non-traditional consideration of critical pedagogy, 'race' and gender the role of education in a multicultural society inequalities in educational opportunity in terms of class, ethnicity and disability. This is essential reading for students on undergraduate Education Studies degrees, and for sociology courses covering educational issues.

While sociology has historically not been a good interlocutor of war, this paper argues that the body has always known war, and that it is to the corporeal that we can turn in an attempt to develop a language to better speak of its myriad violences and its socially generative force. It argues that war is a crucible of social change that is prosecuted, lived and reproduced via the occupation and transformation of myriad bodies in numerous ways from exhilaration to mutilation. War and militarism need to be traced and analysed in terms of their fundamental, diverse and often brutal modes of embodied experience and apprehension. This paper thus invites sociology to extend its imaginative horizon to rethink the crucial and enduring social institution of war as a broad array of fundamentally embodied experiences, practices and regimes.

In Digital Sociology, Deborah Lupton discusses how digital technologies have been incorporated into social contexts, institutions, and notions of selfhood and embodiment. The author argues that we now live in a digital society, and this poses urgent challenges to sociological theory and practice. The said claim is supported by an assessment of recent debates, theoretical approaches, and empirical studies directly associated with the social, cultural, and political dimensions of digital technologies. Lupton defines digital sociology in terms of both professional digital practices and analyses focusing on technology use and digital data, making explicit connections to other areas of knowledge, namely, digital anthropology, cultural studies, mass communication, and media studies. Lupton also expresses her own project of a self-reflective and critical digital sociology that pays close attention to the ways in which such technologies confront academic sociology in professional, epistemological, and methodological terms.

From fox-hunting to farming, the vigour with which rural activities and living are defended overturns received notions of a sleepy and complacent countryside. Alongside these developments, the rise of the organic food movement has helped to revitalize an already politicized rural population. Over the years 'rural life' has been defined, redefined and eventually fallen out of fashion as a sociological concept - in contrast to urban studies, which has flourished. This much-needed reappraisal calls for its reinterpretation in light of the profound changes affecting the countryside. First providing an overview of rural sociology, Hillyard goes on to offer contemporary case studies that clearly demonstrate the need for a reinvigorated rural sociology. Tackling a range of contentious issues, this book offers a new model for rural sociology and reassesses its role in contemporary society.Providing an overview of rural sociology, this title calls for the reinterpretation of rural life in light of the profound changes affecting the countryside.
