Book Description
This book explores the conquest, predation and management of human bodies and emotions by the growing capitalist digital community. It seeks to understand the debate between various forms of the individual, subject, actor, and agent to emerge a social theory vision for the 21st century. The book moves beyond the colonization of the physical world to examine the process of colonization of humans. It focuses on the communication humans have with the world to understand how this impacts their sensibilities. This communication is influenced by technological innovations that enable a process of systematic colonization of human beings as bodies/emotions. This book explores a social theory which will allow us to understand this redefinition of the individual. This enables us to uncover connections between the colonization of the ‘inner planet’ that is the human society, and the dialectic of the person and the politics of their sensibilities. This is explored through the tensions that arise between the forms a person assumes in unequal and diverse cultural contexts and the emotions behind those cultural differences. The book will appeal to academics and postgraduate students of sociology, philosophy and anthropology, as well as psychologists, organizational specialists, linguists, ethnographers, historians, political scientists, administrators and professionals affiliated with NGOs.

Social Policies and Emotions
Author: Angélica De Sena
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030347397
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
This book analyzes the connections between social policies and politics of sensibilities. The authors show how social policies build sociabilities, experiences and sensibilities, producing processes of conflict avoidance and consecration of the given. After discussing violence against women as a case study in order to understand the current state of social policies, the authors then describe how the “place” and “value” of education have become central features to social policies in order to disband conflict. Finally, they explain the emergence of a social phenomenon in the last sixteen years in Latin America and particularly Argentina: the compensatory consumption system and the resulting emergence of the “assisted citizen.”

Love as a Collective Action
Author: Adrian Scribano
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000711560
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
This book makes evident how love, as an interstitial practice, produces a set of collective practices and how, through a mapping of these practices, it is possible to observe the connection between the politics of sensibilities and social conflict. The book provides – in the face of a global normalization of immediate enjoyment through consumption, the internationalization of fear and anxiety, the rise of "post-truth" and a distrust regarding politics – a systematic analysis of love as an interstitial practice. This book follows a sociology of body/emotions approaches within which sensations, emotions and sensibilities are part of dialectical social structuration process. The book proposes love not only as an effect or trait of a society, but also as an analytical tool for better understanding the processes of social structuring. It connects a sociology of bodies/emotions with a specific perspective on collective action and links conflictual structures and the politics of sensibilities in six Latin American countries by using a strategy of inquiry attuned to current patterns of social transformation, that of digital ethnography. This work is of interest to a wide public, those who want to know which emotions are the prevailing in Latin America, as well as specialists such as sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and all researchers and graduate students who are interested in the connections between conflict, society and emotions.

Teoría Social, Cuerpos y Emociones
Author: Adrián Oscar Scribano
Publisher: ESEditora
ISBN: 9872886148
Category : Emotions
Languages : es
Pages : 196
Book Description
"El texto que aquí presentamos es el resultado de un proceso de diálogo e intercambio en el Grupo de Estudios Sociales sobre las Emociones y los Cuerpos, del Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani (GESEC-IIGG-UBA), que tuvo fundamentalmente dos objetivos: uno de carácter formativo/reflexivo y otro de carácter teórico/epistemológico acerca del status de las problemáticas de los cuerpos/emociones en la Teoría Social. En dicho contexto, el presente libro se considera un aporte para comprender cómo la problemática de los cuerpos/emociones han estado presentes en la teoría social desde sus orígenes como filosofía social, pasando por la teoría sociológica clásica hasta llegar a la que se suele denominar como teoría social contemporánea. Desde diversas miradas, desde distintas tradiciones y enfoques paradigmáticos, el lector constatará que, de un modo u otro, las políticas de los cuerpos y de la emociones han sido y siguen siendo preocupaciones centrales a la hora de "mapear" los procesos de estructuración social."--Descripción del editor.

Southern and Postcolonial Perspectives on Policing, Security and Social Order
Author: Roxana Pessoa Cavalcanti
Publisher: Policy Press
ISBN: 1529223679
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Postcolonial legacies continue to impact upon the Global South and this edited collection examines their influence on systems of policing, security management and social ordering. Expanding the Southern Criminology agenda, the book critically examines social harms, violence and war crimes, human rights abuses, environmental degradation and the criminalization of protest. The book asks how current states of policing came about, their consequences and whose interests they continue to serve through vivid international case studies, including prison struggles in Latin America and the misuse of military force. Challenging current criminological thinking on the Global South, the book considers how police and state overreach can undermine security and perpetuate racism and social conflict.

The Antagonistic Principle
Author: Massimo Modonesi
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004388265
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
In this important contribution to political theory, Massimo Modonesi develops the thesis that a Marxist theory of political action can be developed from the notion of antagonism, defined as a distinctive feature of struggle and of the political experience of insubordination. The author argues this central idea with close reference to the concept of class struggle. He advances a theoretical proposal based on the triad subalternity-antagonism-autonomy, as well as the uneven and combined character of the processes of political subjectification. At the center of this triad, the concept of antagonism stands out as a logical principle and the core of a Marxist theory of political action. At the same time, subalternism reappears frequently, as the counter-pole of antagonistic activation and autonomous practices, and as the root of what Antonio Gramsci calls ‘passive revolutions’.

Paisajes insurrectos

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
¿Es posible hablar de insurrecciones 2.0?, ¿de nuevas formas de acuerpamiento social?, ¿de nuevas formas de protesta y organización colectiva? ¿Qué desafíos plantea la ola de insurrecciones que han irrumpido en la escena del siglo XXI? Este libro busca repensar las preguntas que nos hacemos en torno a las culturas políticas de los jóvenes y su acción colectiva. También reflexiona sobre la idea de sujeto y sus formas de expresión. Un sujeto que busca deslindarse de los determinismos, que sale a campo abierto, en plena tempestad sin certezas. Un sujeto que se arriesga no para decretar, sino para comprender, para asir lo inasible “garantizando su estatuto de inasible”, como quería Levinas. La autora habla acerca, de, sobre y especialmente con quienes han construido una inmensa red de conversaciones colectivas, de acciones, de estéticas y de lenguajes. Estos movimientos sociales surgidos en la red y trasladados a la calle, han logrado interrumpir el monólogo de los poderes propietarios.
