Lewis Coser presents an examination of the concept of social conflict and its use in empirical sociological research in this “lucid, comprehensive essay in social theory” (American Journal of Sociology).The positive values of conflict for all societies come to light in this study that reveals how conflicts fulfill social functions such as the maintenance of group boundaries and the prevention of the withdrawal of members of a group. Lewis Coser is critical of the view that conflict is dysfunctional and works to demonstrate its inadequacies. In a series of basic propositions distilled primarily from the theories of Georg Simmel, Coser clarifies the function of social conflict. Beyond this, Functions of Social Conflicts extends these propositions and relates them to psychoanalysis and empirical research theories.

The writings in this volume highlight Hughes's contributions to the sociology of work and professions; race and ethnicity; and the central themes and methods of the discipline. Hughes was the first sociologist to pay sustained attention to occupations as a field for study and wrote frequently and searchingly about them. Several of the essays in this collection helped orient the first generation of black sociologists, including Franklin Frazier, St. Clair Drake and Horace Cayton.

What were the contributions to American scholarship and culture made by European refugees from Nazi persecution? How did these émigrés react to the experience of being strangers in the land of their refuge? In this engrossing book, Lewis Coser examines the impact of refugee intellectuals on the social sciences and the humanities in America, painting a collective portrait that sheds light not only on the accomplishments of the Europeans but also on the development of the several disciplines in America that either welcomed or rejected them.Coser explains, for example, why the émigrés had more influence in the field of psychoanalysis than in psychology; why Austrian economists were more successful in America than were German economists; why only a few European sociologists made significant contributions in America. Discussing such luminaries as Bruno Bettelheim, Jacob Marshak, Hannah Arendt, Thomas Mann, Vladimir Nabokov, Roman Jacobson, Erwin Panofsky, and Paul Tillich, Coser describes their backgrounds, personalities, and careers in America, providing revealing anecdotes that help to bring these figures to life. His accounts of those who were famous in the country of their birth but never achieved eminence or a feeling of adjustment in America provide a poignant contrast. Coser concludes that the refugee intellectuals were most influential in areas of study where they filled a perceived need not previously met or in fields where they could build on already established traditions. His perceptive analysis of the European-born men and women who altered American intellectual history is an absorbing and memorable story.

Written and compiled by friends and former students, The Idea of Social Structure honors Robert K. Merton, considered one of the premier sociologists of the twentieth century. Along with Talcott Parsons and Marion J. Levy, Merton was emphatic in his use of the term "social structure" however different they were in defining and refining the term. The chapters in this volume address many of Merton's diverse sociological theories and, in turn, his theories' impact upon a very large sociological territory.The volume includes major statements on the context of working with Merton by Lewis A. Coser, Paul F. Lazarsfeld, Robert A. Nisbet, and Seymour Martin Lipset, as well as memorable statements covering Merton's interests in the sociology of knowledge and science, planning communities, medical education, relative deprivation, everyday life, political roles, and communication media. This is a powerful sourcebook for understanding the work of Merton and of his intellectual successors.Nisbet called the decade of the 1930s among the most vital and creative periods in American history. It was certainly a period of intense struggle political, military, and ideological. But the formation of modern sociology was without question one of the crowning achievements in the scientific evolution of the century. The volume is sharply focused on Merton's work and deeply appreciative of the nature of his contribution. It is a landmark effort in the study of sociology as history.

Lewis A. Coser versucht in diesem Klassiker der modernen Sozialwissenschaften im Anschluß an Georg Simmels berühmter Untersuchung über den "Streit" den Begriff des sozialen Konfliktes zu klären und dessen empirische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Als eines der wichtigsten Bücher der neueren Konfliktforschung hat es in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts die in diesem Zusammenhang geführten theoretischen Kontroversen maßgeblich bestimmt und eine Vielzahl von empirischen Untersuchungen angeregt.

Giriga institutioner tar sig an ett iögonfallande samhällsfenomen: sociala gemenskaper och organisationer som förväntar sig totalt engagemang och fullständig lojalitet av sina medlemmar.
Lewis A. Coser visar hur denna mekanism har verkat i religiösa sekter och revolutionära partier, format livet för de rikas tjänstefolk, tvingat såväl katolska kyrkans präster som imperiernas soldater att leva i celibat. Andra gemenskaper, främst familjen, har hotat lojaliteten med den giriga institutionen.
Men den moderna kärnfamiljen är också en "glupsk gemenskap", vars anspråk på tid och engagemang konkurrerar med de krav som det moderna arbetslivet ställer.
Giriga institutioner (Greedy institutions) som ursprungligen publicerades 1974 är en föredömlig illustration av hur ett nytt teoretiskt perspektiv kan förklara en rad till synes disparata fenomen.
I en nyskriven inledning presenterar sociologen Ola Agevall boken, författaren och hans tid.

YTTRANDEFRIHET Fronesis nr 78–79 är ett fullspäckat nummer utan döda punkter. Yttrandefrihetsexperten Nils Funcke tecknar historien om yttrandefrihetens reglering i Sverige under de senaste tjugo åren – och det är ingen uppmuntrande läsning. Arbetsrättsspecialisten Friedrich Heger skriver om konflikten mellan lojalitetsplikt och kritikrätt i det privata arbetslivet. Vi publicerar den ursprungliga versionen av den skotske upplysningsfilosofen David Humes essä om tryckfriheten. Den amerikanske kulturhistorikern Robert Darnton jämför censurens sätt att fungera i Frankrike fram till 1789 och i Östtyskland fram till 1989. Tidningen Arbetets siste chefredaktör Bo Bernhardsson skriver om den avsomnade A-pressen och frågar sig hur den nuvarande ägarkoncentrationen påverkar möjligheterna till opinionsbildning. Professorn i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Anne Kaun diskuterar den nya digitala halvoffentligheten utifrån den tyske filosofen Jürgen Habermas nya skrift. Vidare: den ungerska historikern Andrea Petö skriver exklusivt för tidskriften om den avskaffade akademiska friheten i Ungern. Den finländska filosofen Nora Hämäläinen belyser hoten mot forskningens frihet i form av bland annat politiskt styrd finansiering och toppstyrning. Queerteoretikern Jack Halberstam uppfattar triggervarningar som ett sätt att osynliggöra marginaliserade grupper. Översättaren Johanna Hedenberg diskuterar strykning av känsliga ord i äldre texter som ett svek mot verk, författare och läsare. Den politiska filosofen Teresa M. Bejan utreder innebörden av parrhesia och isegoria i antikens Athen och knyter dem till dagens yttrandefrihetsdiskussioner. Och vi publicerar en klassisk text av den tysk-amerikanske sociologen Lewis A. Coser om den politiska eller religiösa sekten, där man inte kan säga någonting alls.
