Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Globalization is a word that is currently much in use. This book is an attempt to show that there is far more to globalization than its surface manifestations. Unpacking the social roots and social consequences of globalizing processes, this book disperses some of the mist that surrounds the term.Alongside the emerging planetary dimensions of business, finance, trade and information flow, a localizing , space-fixing process is set in motion. What appears as globalization for some, means localization for many others; signalling new freedom for some, globalizing processes appear as uninvited and cruel fate for many others. Freedom to move, a scarce and unequally distributed commodity, quickly becomes the main stratifying factor of our times.Neo-tribal and fundamentalist tendencies are as legitimate offspring of globalization as the widely acclaimed hybridization of top culture - the culture at the globalized top. A particular reason to worry is the progressive breakdown in communication between the increasingly global and extra- territorial elites and ever more localized majority. The bulk of the population, the new middle class , bears the brunt of these problems, and suffers uncertainty, anxiety and fear as a result.This book is a major contribution to the unfolding debate about globalization, and as such will be of interest to students and professionals in sociology, human geography and cultural issues.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Harvey Sacks s early death in 1975 robbed the social sciences of one of its most original thinkers. Although he published relatively little in his lifetime, his lectures and papers were enormously influential in sociology and sociolinguistics and they played a major role in the development of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The recent publication of Sacks s Lectures on Conversation has provided an excellent opportunity for a wide-ranging reassessment of his contribution.In this new book, David Silverman provides a clear introduction to Sack s work and reassesses its value for sociology, linguistics, anthropology and psychology. Using a variety of examples, he explains Sacks s ideas on method, language and talk-in-interaction. He argues that Sacks s work offers a highly original perspective on language and social life and raises fundamental questions for the social sciences - questions which, after more than twenty years, remain vitally important and largely unanswered.Written in a lively and accessible way, this book will be of particular interest to students of sociology, sociolinguistics, social theory and method, but it will also be of interest to students and researchers in anthropology, psychology and related disciplines.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Examines the stress in teaching multidisciplinary concept broad enough to include physiological, psychological, organisational and legal perspectives.
