Människan gör samhället – formar, utvecklar, bevarar. Men samhället gör också människan – människan formas och utvecklas i och genom samhället. Detta är den klassiska sociologins stora insikt. Sociologins klassiker presenterar tjugotvå sociologiska tänkare som med stor spännvidd varierar denna grundläggande sociologiska insikt som i dag äger större giltighet än någonsin.Sociologins klassiker presenterar grundfrågor och centrala begrepp hos klassiker, från Auguste Comte till Alva och Gunnar Myrdal. Unika särdrag behandlas liksom likheter med andra klassiker. Boken betonar den klassiska sociologins aktualitet för analysen av vårt eget samhälle. Ett syfte med antologin är att vidga förståelsen av klassisk sociologi och inkludera dem som tidigt skrev viktiga sociologiska verk men som av olika anledningar inte fått den uppmärksamhet de förtjänar. I många av bokens kapitel presenteras sociologiska tänkare för första gången på svenska.Sociologins klassiker vänder sig till studenter i sociologi och annan samhälls- och beteendevetenskap på grundnivå. Boken kan med fördel utgöra grunden för hur hela kurser organiseras. Den är också lämplig för studenter och forskare som söker introduktioner till enskilda sociologiska tänkare.

Människor och organisationer är i blickfånget i den här antologin. I socialt arbete och andra organiserade välfärdsinsatser förenas de i vad vi kallar ett aktörskap. Individerna samspelar med de organisationer de verkar i, utifrån en yrkesroll eller en profession. I tio kapitel undersöker forskare olika aspekter av praktiken i välfärdsorganisationer. Med stöd i olika teoretiska perspektiv analyseras förutsättningar, uppfattningar och vardagen för människor som arbetar i dessa organisationer. Alla kapitel bygger på empiriska underlag, från offentliga organisationer, ideella organisationer eller privata aktörer.
Urban Grassroots Movements in Central and Eastern Europe
AvKerstin Jacobsson
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
685 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
What can we learn about collective action across Central and Eastern Europe by focusing on activism within urban spaces? This volume argues that the recent resurgence of urban grassroots mobilisation represents a new phase in the development of post-socialist civil societies and that these civil societies have significantly more vitality than is commonly perceived. The case studies here reflect the diversity and complexity of post-socialist urban movements, capturing also the extent to which the laboratory of urban politics is richly illustrative of the complex nexus of state-society-market relations within post-socialism. The grassroots campaigns and actions reflect the new social cleavages and increased polarisation as a consequence of neoliberal urbanisation and global integration, as well as the transformation of state power and authority in the region. Studying urban activism in Central and Eastern Europe is instructive for urban movements scholars generally, as it forces us to acknowledge the variety of forms that contention can take and the usefulness of embedding the study of urban movements within a larger understanding of civil society.
Transforming Subjectivities
Studies in Human Malleability in Contemporary Times
AvCecilia Hansen Löfstrand,Kerstin Jacobsson
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
2 487 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume examines the transformation of subjectivities following contemporary societal trends with regulatory and administrative authorities targeting human subjectivity with the aim to transform it. It addresses the malleability of human subjectivity through rich qualitative analyses of how different governing attempts are received by the subjects themselves. While the scholarship on governmentality has so far produced an enormously useful body of literature on the ‘how’ aspect of governing, this book suggests that it has been prone to overestimate the degree to which our subjectivities are open to change. Combining ethnographic sensitivity with more traditional governmentality perspectives allows us to explore how governing attempts ‘land’ in the terrain targeted—human subjectivity—in actual social contexts, under specific forms of governing and rationality. In doing so, the book makes a distinctive contribution to a second generation of governmentality studies. It will appeal to social scientists with interests in governance, governmentality, social policy and the sociology of work.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Governing Street-Level Bureaucracies
The Organizational Shaping of Caseworkers
AvKerstin Jacobsson,Håkan Johansson
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
2 487 kr
This book examines how caseworkers are governed in today’s street-level bureaucracies. It redefines our understanding of public sector governance by highlighting the subtle, informal, and everyday forms of organizational governance that shape caseworkers’ subjectivities beyond formal policies and professional identities. Based on four distinct types of normative governance – ‘governance by discourse’, ‘governance by emotions’, ‘governance by peers’, and ‘governance by numbers, colours, and symbols’, the book shows how caseworkers are shaped as organizational staff members alongside their roles as welfare professionals and welfare state bureaucrats.Governing Street-Level Bureaucracies will be of interest to scholars and students in organizational sociology, street-level bureaucracy research, public administration, and critical management studies. It also provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand caseworkers’ responses to public governance and public sector reforms.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Social Movements in Post-Communist Europe and Russia
AvKerstin Jacobsson,Steven Saxonberg
Häftad, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume provides a much needed update on the state of civil society in post-communist Europe and Russia more than two decades after the fall of the communist regimes. The chapters offer new perspectives on social movement strategies in post-communist Central-Eastern Europe and Russia. The chapters illustrate how social movements develop particular repertoires of action and contention, which are better suited for their specific local contexts in the post-communist setting. In Russia and Poland, the use of domestic and transnational legal opportunities, judicial activism and litigation is a popular strategy complementing the traditional lobbying and mass mobilization. Human rights framing has become important in Hungary and the Czech Republic. The chapters analyse various types of rights-based activism that operate in otherwise prohibitive social and political environments, thereby raising highly contentious issues, such as animal rights, environment and sustainability, human rights, women’s rights, and gay rights activism. The contributions richly illustrate the often surprising and multiple ways in which transnational discourses and norm pressure are received, translated or resisted in the local contexts. Finally, the volume provides a novel reconceptualisation and offers new understandings of the relationships between the state and civil society in the post-communist context.This book is based on a special issue of East European Politics.
Animal Rights Activism
A Moral-Sociological Perspective on Social Movements
AvKerstin Jacobsson,Jonas Lindblom
Häftad, Engelska, 2025
699 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
We're in an era of ever increasing attention to animal rights, and activism around the issue is growing more widespread and prominent. In this volume, Jonas Lindblom and Kerstin Jacobsson use the animal rights movement in Sweden to offer the first analysis of social movements through the lens of Emile Durkheim's sociology of morality. By positing social movements as essentially a moral phenomenon-and morality itself as a social fact-the book complements more structural, cultural, or strategic action-based approaches, even as it also demonstrates the continuing value of classical sociological approaches to understanding contemporary society.
Beyond NGO-ization
The Development of Social Movements in Central and Eastern Europe

843 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall provoked a debate on the outcomes of the transition process in the post-communist countries, including a debate on the functioning of civil society. This provided a good opportunity for researchers to collect new data and revise the discourse on collective action and the dynamics of civil society in these countries. Jacobsson and Saxonberg's collection of essays looks at social movements, and their forms of mobilization and organization, as well as action repertoires in relation to the social context, and their success or failure. The book meets an important need in the discourse on post-communist social movements by going beyond the usual discourse about the weak and non-participatory civil society in the post-communist context. This book gives a nuanced and updated view of social movements in post-communist Europe, by looking at the cases of relatively successful mobilization, by examining groups that have often been neglected in the discourse on social movements and civil society (including animal-rights groups, racist movements and non-feminist family organizations), and by giving a deeper analysis of the different strategies that civil society organizations and groups can use. Rather than expecting social movements in post-communist Europe to follow the same patterns and operate in the same fashion as in Western Europe, this volume shows that a wider view of contentious action is needed in order to understand the variety of strategies employed by collective actors operating in this context.

In much social scientific literature, Polish civil society has been portrayed as weak and passive. This volume offers a much-needed corrective, challenging this characterization on both theoretical and empirical grounds and suggesting new ways of conceptualizing civil society to better account for events on the ground as well as global trends such as neoliberalism, migration, and the renewal of nationalist ideologies. Focusing on forms of collective action that researchers have tended to overlook, the studies gathered here show how public discourse legitimizes certain claims and political actions as “true” civil society, while others are too often dismissed. Taken together, they critique a model of civil society that is ‘made from above’.

Contemporary Housing Struggles
A Structural Field of Contention Approach

Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
564 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This OA book provides a comparative study of housing contention in Budapest and Bucharest in 2008-2021. The financialization of housing and the resulting inequalities, expulsions and social contention are a central characteristic of today’s capitalist crisis. These two East European cities that fall outside the usual focus of urban movements research provide an illuminating case of similar structural conditions governed by different political constellations at the national and local scales. Instead of searching for unilinear narratives connecting structural tensions to politicized claims, the book offers an in-depth contextual analysis of multiple forms of contention, their (often unintentional) interactions, and their broader political-structural background, including tensions surrounded by political silence. The authors analyze the two cases and their comparative lessons through what they propose as a “structural field of contention” approach to the multiple, interconnected ways in which structural tensions become (or not) politicized in today’s social movements. The book will appeal to everyone interested in today’s urban tensions and social movements.

Med värme, humor och en orädd blick berättar Kerstin Jacobsson om sitt liv i och för skolan – från den förväntansfulla sjuåringen med sammetsblå violer på skolbänken till gymnasiechef med ansvar för över tusen elever och 120 medarbetare. Vi får följa henne genom barndomens ordning och reda, bokslukarår och första kärleken, vidare till studentlivets skratt och utmaningar, arbete utomlands och lärarutbildningens intensiva år. Med stark drivkraft och engagemang tar hon steget från klassrummet till rektorsexpeditionen och blir en ledare som ser “stjärnan i varje elev”. Det är en berättelse om mod, utveckling och livslång kärlek till lärandet – men också om svåra erfarenheter, orättvisor och de prövningar som format henne som människa och skolledare. Genom möten med elever, kollegor och familj växer en insikt fram: skolan är mer än kunskap – den är relationer, ansvar och framtidshopp. Mitt liv som skolmänniska är en personlig och inspirerande livsresa genom det svenska utbildningssystemet – och en hyllning till alla som varje dag gör skillnad i barns och ungas liv.
