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.

This book argues for a historical perspective on issues relating to the notion of participatory media. Working from a broad concept of media – including essays on the 19th century press, early sound media, photography, exhibitions, television and the internet – the book offers a broad empirical approach to different modes of audience participation from the mid 19th century to the present. Using the insights from the historical case studies, the book also explores some of the key concepts in discussions on the politics of participation, arguing for a theoretical perspective sensitive to the asymmetries that characterize the distribution of agency in the relationship between media and users.Scholarly discussions on participatory media now occur in several fields. This book argues that all of these discussions are all too often obscured by a rhetoric of newness, assuming that participatory media is something unique in history, radical and revolutionary. By challenging the historiography implicit in this rhetoric, the book also engages in a discussion of issues of more general relevance to the multidisciplinary field of media history.

The social sciences have, ever since they were first established as academic disciplines, played a foundational role in most spheres of modern society - in policy-making, education, the media and public debate - and hence also, indirectly, for our self-understanding as social beings. The Social Scientific Gaze examines the discursive formation of academic social science in the historical context of the 'social question', that is, the protracted and wide-ranging discussions on the social problems of modernity that were being debated with increased intensity during the nineteenth century. Empirically, the study focuses on the Lorén Foundation, a combined private funding agency and early research institute, which was set up in 1885 to promote the rise of Swedish social science and to investigate the social question. Comprising an heuristic case, the close analysis of the Foundation makes it possible not only to reconstruct its basic ideas and practices, but also to situate its activities in broader historical and sociological context. The Social Scientific Gaze argues that the rise of Swedish social science may be seen not only as an 'answer' to the social 'question', but also as one attempt alongside others - including contemporary social literature, the philantropic reform movement, and the introduction of modern social policy - to conceptualize, mobilize and regulate the social sphere. In this process it is furthermore shown how an ambigious yet distinct 'social scientific gaze' was discursively articulated.

»Den goda antologin ställer krav på sina redaktörer. Den goda antologiredaktören har tålamod och finess, egna idéer och mycket hög toleranströskel ... Social Science in Context är ett mycket gott exempel inom genren; det finns en övergripande problematik som håller de olika texterna samman, tankereda och höga ambitioner hos redaktörerna.« Tidskriften Respons Social Science in Context is one of the first ventures to explore the relationship between social science and society in historical, sociological and global perspective. What impact has the research in these areas had on society? How are research fields established and to what ends? Social Science in Context is a compilation of articles by an international and multidisciplinary group of scholars. The authors analyse the practical making and discursive aspects of social scientific knowledge and examples are drawn from a broad range of disciplines such as sociology, psychology, economics, and gender studies. The overall aim of the book is to encourage a contextual and reflexive understanding of the complex relationship between the social sciences and society. The bonds of the past and today are made up by reciprocity and involve key elements such as gender and power, science and politics, academic boundaries and global power relations. The book should be of interest to researchers, graduate students or anyone else interested in understanding and reflecting upon the uses, roles and functions of social science in todays globalised world.
