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.

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.

'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

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.

Exploring the Sources of Collective Effervescence: A Multilevel Study
Collective effervescence is assigned a key role in sociological theorizing on ritual and group processes, yet surprisingly little research has systematically measured the phenomenon and examined its sources. In addressing this research gap, the current article explores and compares several correlates of collective effervescence. The data included questionnaires and geospatial records of spatial setting and movement patterns recorded at a large music festival. Multilevel regression modeling was applied, and the strength of the estimated evidence was assessed with frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Results suggest that collective effervescence is a highly spatially clustered phenomenon that, in particular, is associated with the social-morphological feature of being in a crowd of people. The article discusses the implications of these results for sociological Durkheim scholarship as well as for festival-event studies.

Weber and Durkheim
Weber and Durkheim: A methodological comparison is a systematic, comparative analysis of the methodologies of Max Weber and Émile Durkheim. Jensen shows how Weber and Durkheim analyse Protestants and Catholics in practice in The Protestant Ethic and Suicide, respectively. The very different ways that Weber and Durkheim carry out their analyses are then used to describe, analyse and contrast their methodological principles and points of view, raising fundamental questions in sociological and social science analysis, such as:
What constitutes the object of sociology?
How are concepts developed?
What status can be attributed to laws?
Which possibilities - and limitations - do we have for producing scientific insight into society?
What are we to think of the relationship between 'Is' and 'Ought' - and how can social science deal with values?
How are social phenomena to be explained?
This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of sociology, social methodology, political theory, political science, social theory and philosophy.

Prophetic Contrasts: How Durkheim and Girard Affirm the Religious Gift of Peace
Human beings are prone to violence of all kinds, and they are generally religious. Violence and religion are also thick, difficult-to-define concepts. Are they related? Two seminal thinkers stand as cornerstones in this modern debate. For Emile Durkheim, religion is both a cohesive social force and potential antagonist, uniting the community around ritual norms at odds with outsiders, against whom violence is routinely justified. For Rene Girard, internal mediation of mimetic desire generates rivalries that are assuaged through the ritual sacrifice of scapegoats to hold off social chaos and anomie. Girard writes from within a Christian tradition he argues overcomes this scapegoat doom loop. While Durkheim is a skeptical empiricist about religion, and Girard is a literary man writing from within the Christian tradition, both conclude that religion reduces violence and does not increase it.

Emile Durkheim
International scholarship over the last twenty years has produced a new understanding of Emile Durkheim as a thinker. It has contributed to reassembling what, for Durkheim, was always a whole: a sociological selection on morals and moral activism. This volume presents an overview of Durkheim's thought and is representative of the best of contemporary Durkheim scholarship.

From Durkheim to Jellinek
Abstract In his 1887 report about the positivist science of morals in Germany, Durkheim referred to two books: Der Zweck im Recht by Rudolf von Jhering and Die socialetische Bedeutung von Recht, Unrecht und Strafe by Georg von Jellinek. Despite the absence of commentary from Durkheim about this 1878 book from the ‘young’ Jellinek (later known as a master of public law), the analysis of this dissertation (rejected by the University of Vienna) shows that it contained a claim for a social-science-inspired understanding of crime and penalty and had some points of contact with Durkheim's argumentation, notably about the importance of religious feelings in the social reaction against crimes. The article proposes to deepen this comparison between Jellinek's and Durkheim's books with an investigation about their indirect sources.
