Описание: В издательстве Springer вышла новая книга: "Социальная и культурная динамика: перечитывая работу Питирима Сорокина" (Social and Cultural Dynamics: Revisiting the Work of Pitirim A. Sorokin). Автор - Эмилиана Мангоне, профессор Университета Салермо, Италия.
Книга посвящена памятной дате: 10 февраля 2018 г. исполнилось 50 лет со дня смерти П.А. Сорокина.
В своем междисциплинарном исследовании Э. Мангоне критически переосмысливает незаконченную, как она считает, работу Сорокина по созданию и применению «интегралистского метода», с помощью которого можно изучать социокультурные явления, предлагать новые пути изменения личности, общества и культуры и способствовать развитию человечества.
It extends the work started but never finished by Pitirim A. Sorokin on the promotion and application of "integralist method" to analyze the socio-cultural phenomena, to propose new policy, to enhance the development of humanity from the culture point of view
It provides an unique cultural developmental perspective to examine the transformation of socio-cultural phenomena
It explores the relationship between Culture, Society and Personality presenting examples already proposed by P. Sorokin and new ones from different cultural contexts, focusing on the dynamics of socio-cultural phenomena
It overcomes the disciplinary boundaries and integrates sociology, psychology and social sciences
Marking the 50th anniversary of Pitirim A. Sorokin’s death, this Brief offers a critical analysis of the renowned sociologist’s theories while highlighting some of his more overlooked ones. Topics explored include cultural dynamics; the relationship between culture, society, and personality; social mobility; and the socio-cultural causality of time and space. In addition, this book updates these theories by discussing their relevance in current cultural contexts. The Brief aims to extend the work started by Sorokin on the promotion and application of “integralism”, an approach that conceives the change of any sociocultural phenomena as the result of the combination of external and internal forces. It uses this method to analyse socio-cultural phenomena, propose new policy, and enhance the development of humanity from the point of view of culture.
This book also discusses sociology’s relationship with other sciences. In particular, it touches upon the interplay between sociology and psychology and pushes for a new scientific awareness that is transdisciplinary. The end point is a new vision of humanity and its development from a cultural context.
Social and Cultural Dynamics will be of interest to social scientists, sociologists, and psychologists as well as professionals in these disciplines.
