Recenzii
“The book provides an excellent opportunity to rethink social theory inscribed in new and old challenges: the value of theory in the social sciences, the impact of ideological practices in a globalised world, and the urgent openings towards new plots of reproduction and indignation. Revisiting Social Theory: Challenges and Possibilities is a very good testimony to a social theory developed in the heat of the current conditions of intellectual production and serves as an outstanding framework of reference to engage with emerging social practices.”
Angelica De Sena, Professor of Sociology, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina
“Revisiting Social Theory: Challenges and Possibilities proposes a very challenging point of view, since it provokes us into reflecting on the rapid changes that are modifying contemporary society. The three thematic sections in the volume not only offer an in-depth and original insight into the new patterns of action pursued by the actors, but also into the novel political and cultural routes of contemporaneity. For this reason, it offers a valuable tool for social scientists engaged in reflecting on the transformation of social theories, students of sociology courses, and policy-makers interested in change of social reality.”
Gennaro Iorio, Professor of Sociology, University of Salerno, Italy
“This ably edited volume of essays is a timely and comprehensive addition to social theory discourse in contemporary sociology. Its wide-ranging sweep covers ecology, political economy and feminism besides current debates concerning nationalism and neoliberalism. Its concluding focus on the nexus of current theory in the Indian context heightens the volume's significance. A valuable inventory for advanced scholars and researchers in the social sciences.”
