Individualism: The Cultural Logic of Modernity explores ideas of the modern sovereign individual in the western cultural tradition. Divided into two sections, this volume surveys the history of western individualism in both its early and later forms: chiefly from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, and then individualism in the twentieth century. These essays boldly challenge not only the exclusionary framework and self-assured teleology, but also the metaphysical certainty of that remarkably tenacious narrative on 'the rise of the individual.' Some essays question the correlation of realist characterization to the eighteenth-century British novel, while others champion the continuing political relevance of selfhood in modernist fiction over and against postmodern nihilism. Yet others move to the foreground underappreciated topics, such as the role of courtly cultures in the development of individualism. Taken together, the essays provocatively revise and enrich our understanding of individualism as the generative premise of modernity itself. Authors especially considered include Locke, Defoe, Freud, and Adorno. The essays in this volume first began as papers presented at a conference of the American Comparative Literature Association held at Princeton University. Among the contributors are Nancy Armstrong, Deborah Cook, James Cruise, David Jenemann, Lucy McNeece, Vivasvan Soni, Frederick Turner, and Philip Weinstein.

The concept of national character is contentious in the social sciences. It has been strongly rejected in the hereditarian or racist forms in which it was couched by earlier writers. Seen in modern perspective, it poses fundamental problems for social-scientific theory and research: To what extent do conditions of life in a particular society give rise to certain patterns in the personalities of members? To what extent, that is, does the sociocultural system produce distinctive forms of social character, basic personality structure, or modal personality? What are the consequences, if any, of this patterning in personality for stability or change in the social order? Until now, there have been relatively few formal definitions of national character or discussions of the proper scope and limits of this field of study. Inkeles surveys various explicit and implicit definitions of national character, tracing developments through the twentieth century. The term national character can be defined as a way of looking at culture and the culturally patterned behavior of individuals, or as a particular way of examining the coherence of culturally defined values or behavior patterns. Inkeles's approach is to examine the regularity of certain personality patterns among individual members of a society. He asserts that modal personality may be extremely important in determining which new cultural elements are accepted in a particular culture, which institutional forms persist in a society, and changes in the character of such institutions. Inkeles reviews previous studies done on the subject of national character. He canvasses attitudes, values systems, and psychological states of different nations, and seeks to discover a set of values in the complex, regionally diverse, and educationally stratified United States. He concludes that, despite many recent advances in the field, there is much to be done before we have a clear picture of the degree of differentiation in the personality structure of modern nations. National Character will be of great interest to psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and political theorists.

After a period of relative confidence about the future of modernizing societies, scholars are now questioning with renewed urgency the directions of the modernization trend. This book, the result of nearly a decade of collaborative efforts by scholars in twelve countries, examines the modernization process with particular attention to how it is affected by cultural–and especially socioeconomic–variables. The authors describe major theoretical approaches to the idea of modernity and point to the sociological issues interlinked with modernization. They also consider specific factors such as nationalism, ethnicity, and traditional institutions and show how they can determine differing modernization trajectories. The concluding section of the book focuses on nation- and culture-specific examples of modernization, presenting case studies that illustrate the range of modernization attempts. The authors also explore the extent to which modernization may in fact be a generalization of the American way of life.

Damaged Life written by Tod Sloan and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-06-10 with Psychology categories.
What are the psychological problems caused by modernization? How can we minimize its negative effects? Modernization has brought many material benefits to us, yet we are constantly told how unhappy we are: crime, divorce, suicide, depression and anxiety are rampant. How can this contradiction be reconciled? Damaged Life, originally published in 1996, presents a powerful and progressive analysis of modernity’s impact on the psyche. Tod Sloan develops an integrated theory of the self in society by combining perspectives on personality development and socio-historical processes to explore our complex response to modernization. He discusses the implications of postmodern theory for psychology and proposes concrete responses to address the issue of mass emotional suffering. His book should be read not only by those working within psychology and related disciplines such as sociology and social policy, but also by anyone seeking enlightenment about the predicament of the self in contemporary society.
