The landscape of social theory has changed significantly over the three decades since the publication of Anthony Giddens and Jonathan Turner’s seminal Social Theory Today. Sociologists in the twenty-first century desperately need a new agenda centered around central questions of social theory. In Social Theory Now, Claudio E. Benzecry, Monika Krause, and Isaac Ariail Reed set a new course for sociologists, bringing together contributions from the most distinctive sociological traditions in an ambitious survey of where social theory is today and where it might be going.The book provides a strategic window onto social theory based on current research, examining trends in classical traditions and the cutting edge of more recent approaches. From distinctive theoretical positions, contributors address questions about how social order is accomplished; the role of materiality, practice, and meaning; as well as the conditions for the knowledge of the social world. The theoretical traditions presented include cultural sociology, microsociologies, world-system theory and post-colonial theory, gender and feminism, actor network and network theory, systems theory, field theory, rational choice, poststructuralism, pragmatism, and the sociology of conventions. Each chapter introduces a tradition and presents an agenda for further theoretical development. Social Theory Now is an essential tool for sociologists. It will be central to the discussion and teaching of contemporary social theory for years to come.

In Power in Modernity, Isaac Ariail Reed proposes a bold new theory of power that describes overlapping networks of delegation and domination. Chains of power and their representation, linking together groups and individuals across time and space, create a vast network of intersecting alliances, subordinations, redistributions, and violent exclusions. Reed traces the common action of “sending someone else to do something for you” as it expands outward into the hierarchies that control territories, persons, artifacts, minds, and money.He mobilizes this theory to investigate the onset of modernity in the Atlantic world, with a focus on rebellion, revolution, and state formation in colonial North America, the early American Republic, the English Civil War, and French Revolution. Modernity, Reed argues, dismantled the “King’s Two Bodies”—the monarch’s physical body and his ethereal, sacred second body that encompassed the body politic—as a schema of representation for forging power relations. Reed’s account then offers a new understanding of the democratic possibilities and violent exclusions forged in the name of “the people,” as revolutionaries sought new ways to secure delegation, build hierarchy, and attack alterity.Reconsidering the role of myth in modern politics, Reed proposes to see the creative destruction and eternal recurrence of the King’s Two Bodies as constitutive of the modern attitude, and thus as a new starting point for critical theory. Modernity poses in a new way an eternal human question: what does it mean to be the author of one’s own actions?

For the past fifty years anxiety over the problem of naturalism has driven debates in social theory. One side pursues the idea of social science as another kind of natural science, while the other radically rejects the possibility of objective and explanatory knowledge. All of the various developments in social scientific theory since then have reflected this dichotomy between naturalism and post-modernism. "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" suggests a third way, reframing this debate and offering a synthetic vision that sets out a new understanding of sociological interpretation. Analyzing the work of writers such as Theda Skocpol, Clifford Geertz, Leela Gandhi, Roy Bhaskar, Foucault, and Habermas, Isaac Ariail Reed delineates three epistemic modes of social research: realism, normativism, and interpretivism. Reed argues that the last mode provides a way forward for an anti-naturalist sociology that overcomes the opposition between interpretation and explanation and uses theory to build concrete, historically specific causal explanations of social phenomena.Both an examination of and a theoretical meditation on how social investigators do their work, "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" is an ingenious and fruitful exploration of what makes the human sciences uniquely capable of revealing and explaining our world.

Pragmatist thought is central to sociology. However, sociologists typically encounter pragmatism indirectly, as a philosophy of science or as an influence on canonical social scientists, rather than as a vital source of theory, research questions, and methodological reflection in sociology today.In The New Pragmatist Sociology, Neil Gross, Isaac Ariail Reed, and Christopher Winship assemble a range of sociologists to address essential ideas in the field and their historical and theoretical connection to classical pragmatism. The book examines questions of methodology, social interaction, and politics across the broad themes of inquiry, agency, and democracy. Essays engage widely and deeply with topics that motivate both pragmatist philosophy and sociology, including rationality, speech, truth, expertise, and methodological pluralism.Contributors include Natalie Aviles, Karida Brown, Daniel Cefaï, Mazen Elfakhani, Luis Flores, Daniel Huebner, Cayce C. Hughes, Paul Lichterman, John Levi Martin, Ann Mische, Vontrese D. Pamphile, Jeffrey N. Parker, Susan Sibley, Daniel Silver, Mario Small, Iddo Tavory, Stefan Timmermans, Luna White, and Joshua Whitford.

Sociology as a Human Science is a set of foundational, wide-ranging and updated essays from Isaac Ariail Reed. Gathered together for the first time with a new introduction, they articulate a distinct perspective on concept and method in social science. Reed writes about realism and positivism, postmodernism and empiricism, mechanisms and causality, and power and history, developing thereby an understanding of the key debates out of which 21st-century sociology has developed. Carefully considering all manner of arguments in metatheory and epistemology and moving towards a program of interpretive explanation focused on culture and power, Reed places sociology at the center of debates about knowledge production across the humanities and social sciences. His reconstructive approach, positioned “after the posts” (poststructuralism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism) provides a way for interpretive sociology to provide analytically sound, theoretically extensive, and empirically rich understandings of social life.

Soziologie ist eine Disziplin, die durch zahlreiche Kontroversen geprägt ist. Nicht jeder dieser Konflikte trägt jedoch dazu bei, die soziale Welt besser zu begreifen. Mit seinem Buch wendet sich Isaac Ariail Reed vor allem gegen den Gegensatz von Erklären und Verstehen, der in der Soziologie seit ihren Anfängen im 19. Jahrhundert gepflegt wird und vielerorts als unüberwindlich gilt. Sein Buch ist ein provokantes Plädoyer dafür, dass Sozialtheorie dazu dienen kann, anschauliche und historisch sensible Erklärungen für soziale Phänomene zu gewinnen.Der Clou ist, dass die Erklärungen, für die Reed wirbt, interpretativ angelegt sind. Der Gegensatz zwischen Erklären und Verstehen ist letztlich eine Scheinopposition. Er analysiert, wie Theorie in den Sozialwissenschaften tatsächlich genutzt wird, anstatt auf Prinzipien herumzureiten, die unabhängig von dieser Praxis sind.Reed gelangt so zu einem hermeneutisch angelegten Forschungsansatz, der Machtbeziehungen reflektiert und das Augenmerk darauf lenkt, wie soziale Interaktionen ablaufen. Selbst wer diesen Ansatz nicht teilt, gewinnt mit dem Buch die Möglichkeit, sein eigenes Arbeiten zu überdenken und schärfer zu profilieren.

Ni un manual, ni un libro de texto, ni un simple comentario de la obra de "grandes nombres": este libro es a la vez más ambicioso y más aplicable al trabajo real y concreto de los investigadores en ciencias sociales del siglo XXI. La teoría social, ahora propone y explora, en palabras de sus AUTHORes, una nueva lista de tradiciones teóricas relevantes para entender y participar en la compleja trama de temas y enfoques que representa en la actualidad la teoría social.Académicos prestigiosos y activos en sus campos, especialmente convocados para este libro, despliegan capítulo a capítulo un panorama conceptual de la tradición teórica en la que están enmarcadas sus propias investigaciones y argumentan sobre el camino que esos desarrollos podrían tomar en los años que vienen. Por estas páginas, que dan forma a un mapa riquísimo y variado de las ciencias sociales tal como hoy se practican, pasan las discusiones fundamentales y los conceptos centrales de esos debates: del feminismo a la sociología de las convenciones, de la teoría poscolonial a la del actor-red, de la teoría de los campos a los enfoques de la hegemonía mundial, de las microsociologías a la teoría pragmática.Tres décadas después de la publicación de La teoría social hoy, la influyente y original obra que compilaron Anthony Giddens y Jonathan Turner, este libro recupera aquella ambición de diálogo, pero intenta reenfocar la actividad de teorizar en el contexto institucional y disciplinario actual, más cercano a una pluralidad de voces no exenta de conflicto.De especial interés para estudiantes y docentes de grado y posgrado, con destino de clásico, este libro aspira a abrir debates, orientar la investigación hacia caminos nuevos y creativos e impulsar el avance de la teoría que sigue siendo, dicen los AUTHORes, "un nexo entre la enseñanza, la investigación y el debate".
