Durkheim and the Internet : sociolinguistics and the sociological imagination
Sociolinguistic evidence is an undervalued resource for social theory, and in this book, Jan Blommaert uses contemporary sociolinguistic insights to develop another sociological imagination. Taking Durkheim as the point of departure, he first demonstrates how the facts of language and social interaction can be used as conclusive refutations of individualistic theories of society such as 'Rational Choice'. Next, he engages with theorizing the post-Durkheimian social world in which we currently live. This new social world operates 'offline' as well as 'online' and is characterized by 'vernacular globalization'. These fundamental changes, announced by theorists such as Castells and Appadurai, require a new set of theoretical and conceptual tools capable of capturing the complexity and dynamics of contemporary societies. Blommaert proposes new theories of social norms, social action, identity, social groups, integration, social structure and power, all of them animated by a deep understanding of language and social interaction. - website publisher.

Rethinking Durkheim and his Tradition
This book offers a reassessment of the work of Emile Durkheim in the context of a French philosophical tradition that had seriously misinterpreted Kant by interpreting his theory of the categories as psychological faculties. Durkheim's sociological theory of the categories, as revealed by Warren Schmaus, is an attempt to provide an alternative way of understanding Kant. For Durkheim the categories are necessary conditions for human society. The concepts of causality, space and time underpin the moral rules and obligations that make society possible. A particularly interesting feature of this book is its transcendence of the distinction between intellectual and social history by placing Durkheim's work in the context of the French educational establishment of the Third Republic. It does this by subjecting student notes and philosophy textbooks to the same sort of critical analysis typically applied only to the classics of philosophy.

On Durkheim's Rules of Sociological Method
This radical appraisal of Durkheim's method, first published in 1988, argues that fundamental errors have been made in interpreting Durkheim. Mike Gane argues that to understand The Rules it is necessary also to understand the context of the French society in which the book was written. He explores the cultural and philosophical debates which raged in France during the period when Durkheim prepared the book and establishes the real and unsuspected complexity of Durkheim's position: its formal complexity, its epistemological complexity, and its historical complexity.
Part 1: 1. Durkheim, the Rules and the Problem 2. The Remarkable Argument of the Rules 3. The Problematic Consistency of Durkheim's 'Official Method' 4. Variations of Method in Durkheim's Main Sociological Analyses 5. Durkheim's Sociology Part 2: 6. Introduction: the Rules and the Sociologists 7. The Debate Over the Rules in Recent British Sociology 8. The Storm over the Rules in France during Durkheim's lifetime 9. French Discussions of the Rules After 1917 10. The Anglo-Saxon Reception of the Rules 11. Durkheim's Brief Reply to his Critics Part 3: 12. Complex Transitions 13. A Closer Look at the Emergence of the Rules 14. An Examination of the Argument of the Rules 15. Criticisms of Durkheim Examined
'Durkheim's own reputation stands higher now than it ever has before and this latest expository work can only enhance that deserved status' - Times Higher Education Supplement
'Gane's analysis demonstrates clearly how, even in this \"post modernist\" age, Durkheim's Rules remains a challenging and enriching text' - Sociological Review

Social Cost and Health: The Downside of Social Relationships and Social Networks
The research tradition on social relationships, social networks, and health dates back to the beginning of sociology. As exemplified in the classic work of Durkheim, Simmel, and Tönnies, social relationships and social networks play a double-edged—protective and detrimental—role for health. However, this double-edged role has been given unbalanced attention. In comparison to the salubrious role, the deleterious role has received less scrutiny and needs a focused review and conceptual integration. This article selectively reviews the post-2000 studies that demonstrate the harmful physical and mental health consequences of social relationships (intimate relationships and parenthood) and social networks. It uses a parsimonious three-category typology—structural forms, structural composition, and contents—to categorize relationship and network properties and proposes the social cost model, in contrast to the social resource model, to synthesize and integrate the adverse aspects of these properties. It concludes with future research directions.

إميل دوركهايم 1858-1917
هذا الكتاب يعد عملا شاملا عن حياة إميل دوركهايم وفكره، وهو الذي أحدث ثورة في العلوم الاجتماعية بدءا من الدفاع عن استقلالية علم الاجتماع بصفته علما، مرورا بالبلورة المنهجية لقواعد دراسة الاجتماع، وأساليبها وإدانة النظريات العرقية، ونقد المركزية الأوروبية، ووصولا إلى إعادة تأهيل إنسانية «البدائي». دافع عن كرامة الفرد وحرية الصحافة والمؤسسات الديمقراطية والقيم الليبرالية الأساسية للتسامح والتعددية، في الوقت نفسه، كان ينتقد اقتصاديات عدم التدخل ودافع عن قيم التضامن وحياة الجماعات. أصبح التراث الفكري الغني لدوركهايم في نواح كثيرة، جزءا من الفهم الذاتي لعصرنا، وتعززت أهمية مساهمته في عملية تأسيس علم الاجتماع عندما أنشأ مجلة السنة السوسيولوجية (L'Année sociologique) في عام 1896، إذ أسس من خلالها، مع فريق من المعاونين، ما يعرف بالمدرسة الفرنسية لعلم الاجتماع. وقد قام مارسيل فورنييه بتوثيق السيرة الذاتية الجديدة لدوركهايم بدقة، لتلقي ضوءا جديدا على شخصية دوركهايم، وعلاقته باليهودية وحياته العائلية، وعلاقاته بأصدقائه ومعاونيه، ومسؤولياته السياسية والإدارية، وآرائه السياسية.

Alternative View of Modernity
This article derives from my 2021 ASA presidential address. I examine how sociologists including Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and white American sociologists have omitted key determinants of modernity in their accounts of this pivotal development in world history. Those determinants are white supremacy, western empires, racial hierarchies, colonization, slavery, Jim Crow, patriarchy, and resistance movements. This article demonstrates that any accounts omitting these determinants will only produce an anemic and misleading analysis of modernity. The central argument maintains that the sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois developed a superior analysis of modernity by analytically centering these determinants. I conclude by making a case for the development of an emancipatory sociology in the tradition of Du Boisian critical sociological thought.

Adolescents under Pressure: A New Durkheimian Framework for Understanding Adolescent Suicide in a Cohesive Community
Despite the profound impact Durkheim's Suicide has had on the social sciences, several enduring issues limit the utility of his insights. With this study, we offer a new Durkheimian framework for understanding suicide that addresses these problems. We seek to understand how high levels of integration and regulation may shape suicide in modern societies. We draw on an in-depth, qualitative case study (N = 110) of a cohesive community with a serious adolescent suicide problem to demonstrate the utility of our approach. Our case study illustrates how the lives of adolescents in this highly integrated community are intensely regulated by the local culture, which emphasizes academic achievement. Additionally, the town's cohesive social networks facilitate the spread of information, amplify the visibility of actions and attitudes, and increase the potential for swift sanctions. This combination of cultural and structural factors generates intense emotional reactions to the prospect of failure among adolescents and an unwillingness to seek psychological help for adolescents' mental health problems among both parents and youth. Ultimately, this case illustrates (1) how high levels of integration and regulation within a social group can render individuals vulnerable to suicide and (2) how sociological research can provide meaningful and unique insights into suicide prevention.
