This book presents a collection of papers by researchers from several different institutions on a wide range of digital issues. Digitalization describes the phenomenon of how knowledge is processed and the processed knowledge provides social transformations beyond digitization, interaction, annihilation of time and space, the phenomenon of usage in multimedia. Transformed is not only the society but also its mentality. Digitalization reveals a sui generis digimodern process by processing modern structures with the help of compulsory tools. This process is a reconstruction of social structures and institutions on the basis of the digitalization perspective. Each social institution adapts this process and provides a contribution to the digitalization of society. ; Mehmet Akgül: "Digitalization and Religion" 9 // Bünyamin Ayhan: "Digital Literacy" 29 // Haldun Soydal: "Digital Economy and Bitcoin" 49 // Hasret Aktaş: "Digital Politics" 75 // M.

"A comprehensive introduction to the field of philanthropy, Philanthropy and Society challenges the reader to think deeply about the role of philanthropic institutions in shaping and bettering the communities they serve and civil society as a whole. While all agree that the function of philanthropic organizations is to maximize the impact of grant making, there is little consensus on how to do that. This book focuses on two trends that have emerged: strategic philanthropy and increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in philanthropy. Amidst persistent societal inequities, the proliferation of philanthropy leaves one wondering about the potential of this expanding industry to influence social change as well as include constituents beyond donors and their staff. The book offers several case studies of different types of foundations from around the world that demonstrate several tactics used to develop plans that are both strategic and inclusive. Upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of philanthropy, as well as professionals, will come away from this book with a more nuanced and practical sense of the challenging questions the field of philanthropy faces, and the different ways they can be tackled."

"In this monograph, Dugin provides an overview of the primary foreign and Russian sources and schools that influenced the establishment of ethnosociology as an independent and original scientific discipline. Dugin offers a profoundly philosophical approach to the categories of the "ethnos," "narod," "nation" and "society," providing clear definitions of these concepts, and expounding a broader ethnosociological taxonomy. For the first time in the field, this work brings a consistent approach to a broad spectrum of knowledge, as well as elucidating various methodologies of ethnosociological analysis, bringing everything together into a single, easily applicable system." -- Publisher's website

Scholars who study the relationship between economy & society have tended to regard economy as a fixed entity that impacts differently on various social institutions. However, more recent work (eg, studies of deterrence, race discrimination, marriage rates, & labor & capital movements) have recognized the constant interaction of these two life structures. Attitudes of social scientists on society & economics in a number of areas are synthesized, including modernization, social mobility, industrial sociology, & political relations. A mailed questionnaire survey of sociologists (N = 100 responses) in 1979 reveals four prominent research categories likely to dominate the study of economy & society in the foreseeable future: (1) Marxist; (2) Marxist-Weberian/Marxist-functionalist; (3) world-system & dependency theory; & (4) modernization, social psychological, & related areas.
