More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book locates Elias's work clearly within the development of sociology and also against the background of current debates.
Between the 1930s and the 1980s he developed a unique approach to social theory which is now beginning to take root in contemporary social research and theory. Since the translation of his work into English began to accelerate in the 1980s, a growing number of books and articles on topics including health, sexuality, crime, national and ethnic identity, femininity and globalization, in a variety of disciplines, make positive reference to Elias as an authority on the history of emotions, identity, violence, the body and state formation.

Very clear
19 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a very lucide approach on Elias' work just getting the essential ideas and explaining them in a very clear way never forgetting the critiques that have appeared in relation to his theories and pointing possible ways to enlarge Elias' studies. Very good for those who want to have a first contact with Elias' work and theories.
