Gisèle Sapiro – författare

Förtjänade Peter Handke Nobelpriset? Var det rätt att ge Roman Polanski Césarpriset 2020? Och hur ska man egentligen se på all våldsförhärligande hiphop?

Frågan om förhållandet mellan upphovsmannens moral och moralen i verket har återkommit med metoo och cancel culture. Den franska sociologen Gisèle Sapiro diskuterar i denna essä hyllade författare och konstnärer vars ställningstaganden inte bara provocerar utan ofta ses som direkt förkastliga. Bland andra Michel Houellebecq och Peter Handke diskuteras ingående och boken väcker högaktuella frågor om censur och yttrandefrihet, författarens roll och förhållandet mellan litteratur och samhälle.

Gisèle Sapiro (f. 1965) är professor i sociologi och forskningsledare vid École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales i Paris. 

The Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of Ideas establishes a new and comprehensive way of working in the history and sociology of ideas, in order to obviate several longstanding gaps that have prevented a fruitful interdisciplinary and international dialogues. Pushing global intellectual history forward, it uses methodological innovations in the history of concepts, gender history, imperial history, and history of normativity, many of which have emerged out of intellectual history in recent years, and it especially foregrounds the role of field theory for delimiting objects of study but also in studying transnational history and migration of persons and ideas.

The chapters also explore how intellectual history crosses the study of particular domains: law, politics, economy, science, life sciences, social and human sciences, book history, literature, and emotions.

This edited collection analyses the reception of a selection of key thinkers, and the dissemination of paradigms, theories and controversies across the social sciences and humanities since 1945. It draws on data collected from textbooks, curricula, interviews, archives, and references in scientific journals, from a broad range of countries and disciplines to provide an international and comparative perspective that will shed fresh light on the circulation of ideas in the social and human sciences. 

The contributions cover high-profile disputes on methodology, epistemology, and research practices, and the international reception of theorists that have abiding and interdisciplinary relevance, such as: Antonio Gramsci, Hannah Arendt, Karl Polanyi, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak. This important work will be a valuable resource to scholars of the history of ideas and the philosophy of the social sciences; in addition to researchers in the fields of social, cultural and literary theory.
