The Sociology of Norbert Elias Paperback / softback
Edited by Steven (University College Dublin) Loyal, Stephen (University College Dublin) Quilley
Paperback / softback
Description
Norbert Elias has been described as a great sociologist and over recent years there has been a steady upsurge of interest in his work.
Yet despite the fact that he was active for nearly sixty years from the 1920s to the 1960s it was only in the 1980s that English translations of his works became widely available and the importance of his contribution to the sociological endeavour was fully recognised in the English speaking world.
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the key aspects of Elias's work and then applies an Eliasian approach to key topics in contemporary sociology such as race, class, gender, religion, epistemology and nationalism.
The editors have brought together a distinguished group of international sociologists and this book will not only change the course of Elias studies but be a valuable resource for both students and scholars alike.
