Palgrave Studies in Relational Sociology

New Directions in Relational Sociology,
Volume One

New Directions in Relational Sociology, Volume One

Relations All the Way Up

"Irene Rafanell's study is extremely important and timely: the book offers bold and original reflections on theories of kinds, the body, sex and gender - from Butler to Bourdieu, and Foucault to Barnes. The book should be compulsory reading for scholars working on social construction,&nbsp;on the sociology or philosophy of the body, on gender studies and on issues of LGBTQIA+."-- Martin Kusch, Professor of Philosophy, University of ViennaThis book presents a novel theoretical account of the claim that sexed and gendered bodies are socially constructed. In order to do so it critically reconstructs and combines existing theories of the embodiment of social identity (Bourdieu, Foucault, Butler) with the constructionist account of the Sociology of Knowledge (Strong Programme). This allows the author to develop a detailed conceptual apparatus which helps to analyse the nature of sexed and gendered bodies as social institutions. This book argues for a view ofthe body as an ‘artificial kind’ of entity which is the effect of contingent and localized practices and that incorporates both social and natural determinants. In doing so, the book reformulates key sociological dichotomies such as nature/society; structure/agency and domination/resistance, critically analysing different structuralist positions and advancing an ‘intrinsic’ structuralist model which foregrounds the importance of human relations in the constitution of social phenomena. This theoretical investigation has important methodological implications for empirical research into the formation of sex and gender identities and practices, enabling a more objective and naturalistic approach to empirical data concerning social phenomena. IreneRafanell is a lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland, UK where she teaches on gender theory, sociology of the body and social theory. Her work explores the connections between social theory, social constructionism, sociology of knowledge and the body. She has also published on the role of micro-affective dynamics on the constitution of social phenomena.

Sexed and Gendered Bodies as Social Institutions

Making Bodies

Engaging with three interconnected approaches in the social sciences (pragmatism, processual thinking, and relational thinking), this book leverages John Dewey and Arthur Bentley’s often misunderstood work Knowing and the Known and the concept of trans-action developed therein to revisit and redefine our perceptions of social relations and social life. As it moves us beyond essentialist notions of ‘self-action’ and ‘inter-action,’ trans-action allows us to perceive anew our understandings of ourselves, others, and the social fields, networks, organizations, and processes through which we make our way in the world. The contributors gathered here use these notions in a more specific sense, showing why and how social scientists and philosophers might use them to better understand our social life and social problems. As the first collective sociological attempt to apply the concept of trans-action to contemporary social issues, this volume is a key reference for the growing audience of relational and processual thinkers in the social sciences and beyond.

A Sociological Reply on Rethinking Relations and Social Processes

John Dewey and the Notion of Trans-action

“In this insightful and highly readable book, Jean-Sébastien Guy takes us on an intellectual tour de force that makes us see the social world in a different light. A fresh perspective and an essential contribution to the current discussions of social systems and relational sociology.”—Jan A. Fuhse, Heisenberg Fellow at the Institute of Social Sciences, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany“In this original and provocative book, Jean-Sebastien Guy convincingly shows how the problem of structure and agency that has preoccupied sociologists throughout the history of their discipline amounts to an optical illusion. Employing the concepts of the&nbsp;metric and the nonmetric and using a variety of readily accessible examples, the author proposes an entirely different social theoretical lens that is perceptive to the internal variety of social reality.”—Olli Pyyhtinen, Professor of Sociology at the University of Tampere, FinlandThis book offers asolution for the problem of structure and agency in sociological theory by developing a new pair of fundamental concepts: metric and nonmetric. Nonmetric forms, arising in a crowd made out of innumerable individuals, correspond to social groups that divide the many individuals in the crowd into insiders and outsiders. Metric forms correspond to congested zones like traffic jams on a highway: individuals are constantly entering and leaving these zones so that they continue to exist, even though the individuals passing through them change. Building from these concepts, we can understand “agency” as a requirement for group identity and group membership, thus associating it with nonmetric forms, and “structure” as a building-up effect following the accumulation of metric forms. This reveals the contradiction between structure and agency to be a case of forced perspective, leaving us victim to an optical illusion.

This book explores the relevance of social networking from the perspective of its users to reveal the sociological significance of (inter)active experiences on Facebook. In doing so, the work examines obscure aspects of Facebook by addressing such questions as: What constitutes keeping in touch?; how is knowing of the other different from being with the other?; and why is the presence of others such an important element of Facebook?Social Ties in Online Networking&nbsp;discusses the significance of social networking activity through a collection of interviews with the users of Facebook. It analyses what they do, what they like and watch, but first and foremost how they intend their own actions and others’ actions to be perceived within the realm of social media. This book is an exploration of relationships, which will be of interest to academics and students in sociology, social theory, human geography, social networking, media studies and social psychology.

Social Ties in Online Networking

This book draws upon a relational sociological paradigm to explore the processes of collective action in football fandom across Europe and the UK. Through a range of case studies, the authors address pertinent themes in football fandom, including anti-discrimination, ‘home,’ ticketing, name changes, ‘ownership,’ and broader leftist politics. Each of these case studies engages with the theoretical framework of cultural relational sociology, highlighting the different social and cultural changes English and European football has undergone, often over a very short period of time.&nbsp;

A Relational Sociological Approach

Collective Action and Football Fandom

This book delivers a top-down understanding of relation as a macro-phenomenon in society. This understanding rests on the reconstruction of an ongoing debate in the French tradition about the purpose of a relational perspective in sociology and the social sciences. Christian Papilloud analyzes the cardinal steps of this debate, which historically relate to the concept of solidarity, expressing an ideal of social cohesion through relationships between personal and non-personal actors. In social theory, it is well-known that solidarity refers to Emile Durkheim. But little is known about the controversies generated in relation to the purpose of a relational perspective in sociology. Papilloud reconstructs and follows the most important of these controversies in a comparative perspective, beginning with Emile Durkheim and Gaston Richard on solidarity, Richard and Marcel Mauss on sacrifice and magic, Mauss and Pierre Bourdieu on gift and social positions, Bourdieu and Bruno Latour on the objects of exchanges and institutions, and Latour and Durkheim on reciprocity and control. These comparisons give shape to a theoretical framework for a 'sociology through relation.

Theoretical Assessments from the French Tradition

Sociology through Relation

This book&nbsp;posits that a singular paradigm in social theory can be discovered by reconstructing the conceptual grammar of Gabriel Tarde’s micro-sociology and by understanding the ways in which Gilles Deleuze’s micro-politics and Michel Foucault’s micro-physics have engaged with it. This is articulated in the infinite social multiplicity-invention-imitation-opposition-open system. Guided by infinitist ontology and an epistemology of infinitesimal difference, this paradigm offers a micro-socio-logic capable of producing new ways of understanding social life and its vicissitudes. In the field of social theory, this can be called the infinitesimal revolution.

René König zählt zu den einflussreichsten Sozialwissenschaftlern der westdeutschen Nachkriegszeit. Besonders die Vorlesungen des Begründers der berühmten »Kölner Schule« der Soziologie prägten ganze Wissenschaftlergenerationen. Ehemalige Schüler Königs berichten von einem »Vergnügen, ihm zuzuhören« (Ernest Zahn), von einer » Faszination, die König auf seine Schüler ausstrahlte« (Peter Heintz), und dass sie von seinem »Vortrag gebannt« waren (Peter Atteslander). Die im Zürcher Exil gehaltenen Vorlesungen nehmen zentrale Themen des späteren Wirkens Königs vorweg und werden nun erstmals einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht.

Sociology Transformed

“This book is a long-awaited book. Through this book, people around the world will be able to learn for the first time an outline of the 150-year history of Japan's sociology. The epistemic relationship between two Sociologists from Russia and Japan may provide a new perspective and description for understanding the history of Sociology in Japan. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Social sciences and history of Japan.” —Shujiro Yazawa, Professor Emeritus, Seijo University and Hitotsubashi University, Japan“Sociology in Japan is an important book. Less because of its topic than because of its chronology. Choosing to focus most of the book on the early periods and trends of Japanese sociology - from the 1870s to 1945 - is a very bold and fruitful decision, for it eventually gives Japan the place it deserves in the world history of sociology as one of the very first countries in which "sociology" existed as a current of ideas. Reading this book is re-reading the history of our discipline.”&nbsp;&nbsp; —Stéphane Dufoix, Professor of Sociology, University of Paris-Nanterre, France　This Palgrave Pivot serves as a brief exploration of the evolution of sociological thinking in Japan from the Meiji era to the early 21st century. The authors unfold the narrative of societal changes, cultural shifts, and the interplay between tradition and modernity, tracing the footsteps of influential thinkers, movements, and key sociological themes that have shaped the collective consciousness of Japan. This book invites scholars and students alike to engage with the intricate fabric of Japanese society through a sociological lens.&nbsp; Sayana Mitupova is a researcher at Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Russia. She holds a PhD in Sociology from Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Socio-Political Research, Russia.Koji Yoshino is a Professor in the Faculty of Inclusive Society Studies at Nagasaki Wesleyan University, Japan, where he has also held the position of Dean of Academic Affairs since 2023.&nbsp;

This agenda-setting book argues that Trial by Media is redefining the meaning and nature of justice in a multi-media world. Through a multi-disciplinary analysis of the anatomy, production, consumption, impact, and normative and legal boundaries of this new form of media justice, Trial by Media develops an original framework for examining the moral politics of crime, control and criminal justice in the post-trust society.

Trial by Media is a form of interactive, mediatised justice in which individuals and institutions are accused, tried, judged and sentenced in the ‘court of public opinion’. This agenda-setting book argues that Trial by Media is redefining the meaning and nature of justice in a multi-media world. First, the authors map the neoliberal transformations and cultural dynamics that have given rise to this new form of media justice. Then, systematically analysing the anatomy, production, consumption, impact, and normative and legal boundaries of trial by media, they examine the proliferation of high-profile celebrity trials, press campaigns in the name of crime victims, the exposure of transgression, scandal and cover-up by powerful individuals and institutions, and the growing influence of media justice on criminal justice policy and practice. Drawing from a diversity of multi-disciplinary resources, Trial by Media looks beyond mainstream understandings of crime and media to develop an original framework for examining the moral politics of crime, control and criminal justice in the post-trust society.

Die Philosophie kennt nicht nur Gottesbeweise, sondern auch Versuche, die Existenz Gottes durch geeignete Argumente zu widerlegen. Ist es nicht unwahrscheinlich oder sogar unmöglich, dass Phänomene wie Naturkatastrophen, Krankheiten und schwere Verbrechen mit der Existenz eines Gottes vereinbar sind? Und lässt sich überhaupt widerspruchsfrei von etwas sagen, dass es allmächtig oder allwissend sei? Falls nicht, wäre es bereits begrifflich unmöglich, dass es einen Gott geben kann. Der Band dokumentiert und kommentiert die faszinierendsten klassischen wie aktuellen Gotteswiderlegungen.
