Is postmodernity over? Does postmodernism still have anything important to say? Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern argues “yes” to both. Despite the claims of a number of scholars that “postmodern” is over and done with, Andrew Wells Garnar demonstrates its continued relevance by carefully examining the use of information and communication technologies. These technologies illustrate many important postmodern concepts, thus showing the continued significance of postmodern philosophy. Garnar reconstructs these concepts with the tools of classical pragmatism. By engaging with pragmatists as well as with the thought of Jean-François Lyotard, Albert Borgmann, and others, this book produces a revitalized vision of both pragmatism and the postmodern. This version of pragmatism reflects the tenor of the times in a more nuanced way, while also showing how the postmodern continues to play out in contemporary life. Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern shows how a pragmatic conception of technology opens up possibilities for working within postmodernity to materially address social and technical problems.

Social life is in a constant process of change, and sociology can never stand still. As a result, contemporary sociology is a theoretically diverse enterprise, covering a huge range of subjects and drawing on a broad array of research methods. Central to this endeavour is the use of core concepts and ideas which allow sociologists to make sense of societies, though our understanding of these concepts necessarily evolves and changes. This clear and jargon-free book introduces a careful selection of essential concepts that have helped to shape sociology and continue to do so. Going beyond brief, dictionary-style definitions, Anthony Giddens and Philip W. Sutton provide an extended discussion of each concept which sets it in historical and theoretical context, explores its main meanings in use, introduces relevant criticisms, and points readers to its ongoing development in contemporary research and theorizing. Organized in ten thematic sections, the book offers a portrait of sociology through its essential concepts, ranging from capitalism, identity and deviance to the digital revolution, environment, postcolonialism and intersectionality. It will be essential reading for all those new to sociology as well as anyone seeking a reliable route map for a rapidly changing world.

★當代最知名社會學家新作，首度引進繁中版★ 紀登斯的社會學大師課，開課了！ 解析68個關鍵字》社會學不難，掌握這些概念就夠 ／全球化、現代性、理性化……社會學家從哪些角度思考？ ／異化、工業化、移民……社會學如何詮釋人的生活？ ／資本主義、消費主義、分工……決定我們生活的社會結構有哪些？ ／階級、性別、父權、種族……為什麼人生總有不平等？ ／文化、身分認同、意識型態、媒體……關於人際互動與溝通的概念又有哪些？ 【以上社會學基本概念，你用過哪些？讀懂哪些？】 我們每個人都受社會影響，接收各種資訊、思想，同時透過互動去塑造社會。如果想知道社會究竟如何塑造我們，以及該如何因應，就不能不讀「社會學」。社會學給我們一副特殊的眼鏡、清晰的視角，能穿透清楚社會現象背後的脈絡，深入社會問題的核心。社會學並不提供標準解答，而是強調批判、反省，指引另一種思索問題的方法。 《紀登斯的社會學基本概念》就為此而生。紀登斯是享譽國際的社會學大師，對當代理論發展及社會政策都有卓越貢獻。在導言他便提出本書的目的：「藉著一些基本概念，提供了提供一份精準且最新的當代社會學概念地圖」，點出了理解當代社會學的核心，就是熟悉這些概念的起源與當代用法，了解社會學議題是如何隨著時代變遷而逐步發展。 全書分為10大主題，精選68個概念，包含如「全球化」、「現代性」、「消費主義」、「社會流動」、「生命歷程」、「身分認同」……，每個概念以定義破題之後，便依照時序講解，點出歷史上每個思想家的見解，以及概念在當代創造性解讀，更重要的是也著墨於批判、反思之處，以及延伸的探討。一步步帶領讀者將概念融會貫通，形成系統化的思考。 全書有簡潔的文字、透徹的解說，你可以學到： ■ 概念的現行定義 明快短句抓出概念的重點。 例如階級（class）是一個群體，依據相關職業、擁有的財產與財富或選擇的生活方式，所界定的相對位置。 ■ 概念的起源 沿著時間軸依序講解歷來思想家的看法與概念流變。 例如馬克思認為，基本的階級對抗發生在擁有生產工具的資本家和工人（馬克思稱他們為「無產階級」）之間。 ■ 概念的意義與詮釋 當代社會學家如何超越原有的理論框架，賦予新的詮釋。 例如當代社會學家大都認為，階級是一大群擁有相同經濟資源的人，資源強烈影響他們的生活形態。「財富」和「職業」是階級差異的主要基礎。 ■ 概念的批判 這個概念不足之處為何，面臨哪些批評，被哪些概念取代。 例如以階級為基礎的社群和階級認同逐漸淡化，反而以性別、族群、性取向和政治聯盟作為認同來源。 ■ 延伸相關 這個概念近來的相關研究與發展。 例如「平台資本主義」公司和「零工」經濟部門興起，優步（Uber）等平台仲介的「零工」，是中產階級、工人階級還是一個全新的階級分類？ 培養社會學批判思考的眼光，我們才得以立體地理解、反思自己與他人的處境，社會才有被鬆動、改變的可能。關心社會、了解社會、批判社會，就由紀登斯帶著我們開始。 ◎本書特色 1. 當代社會學巨擘，寫給入門者的小書 紀登斯堪稱當代社會學界巨擘：享譽國際多年，學界、政界皆有卓越貢獻；其所提出的「第三條路」政策廣為人知。本書為大師寫給所有人的社會學概念解析，除人文社科系所師生之外，也適合一般喜好社會學的讀者、想提升知識與思考的每個人。 2. 解答你一直想弄清楚、卻不知道問誰的社會學疑問 社會學盤根錯節，讓你霧煞煞？社會學確實不容易，本書梳理繁複理論，從基本概念入手，從定義開始解析，溯及源頭、相關討論及詮釋，更包含正反觀點，幫入門者打基礎，在快速變化的社會，一步步找到指引前進的地圖。 3. 10大單元，68個概念，社會學知識一網打盡！ 全書架構完整，網羅主要基礎概念與新知，無論是想掌握整體視野，或是想深入理解最新詞條的讀者皆適讀。 ◎專業推薦 「這是一本非典型的社會學之作……正因為不是詞典，不會枯燥，使本書更有可讀性；不是法典，才得以刺激讀者開放思考；也因不是經典，方能指引讀者走向經典之路。」 —— 陳宗文（ 國立政治大學社會學系教授） 「社會多變，社會學的概念自然令人眼花撩亂，站在基礎上以不變應萬變，順著紀登斯的指引，也許可以減少我們在認識大千世界時的困惑。」 —— 許雅淑、李宗義（本書譯者）

사회학도의 꾸준한 사랑을 받아 온 『사회학의 핵심 개념들』, 최신 연구 동향을 반영한 제3판으로 다시 태어나다 현대사회학계의 거장인 앤서니 기든스와 필립 W. 서튼이 집대성한 사회학 이론서로서 전 세계 사회학도들에게 오랫동안 사랑받아 온 《사회학의 핵심 개념들》이 제3판으로 새롭게 나왔다. 이 책에서 두 저자는 현대사회학 논의의 정수를 담은 핵심 개념 68개를 선별해 소개함과 동시에, 이 개념들을 10개의 주제 아래 배치하여 독자들이 현대사회학의 전반적 지형을 체계적으로 이해하도록 돕는다. 이 책에 담긴 68가지 개념은 사회학의 고전적 개념들인 권력, 이데올로기, 문화부터 기존의 논의를 재구성하며 사회학의 지평을 넓힌 젠더, 소비주의, 정체성, 그리고 최근 등장해 혁신적 연구를 창출 중인 상호교차성, 디지털혁명 등 폭넓은 주제들을 망라하면서 복잡다단한 사회를 총체적으로 파악하게 한다. 또 이 책은 개념을 간략히 정의하는 데 그치지 않고 그에 관한 기원과 의미를 비롯해 비판과 의의까지 풍부하게 설명하고 있어 사회학적 사고 및 논의를 위한 소양을 갖추는 데 큰 도움을 준다. 이번 제3판은 변화무쌍한 현대사회를 가장 정확히 반영한 이론을 구축하려는 저자들의 성실한 노력의 산물로, 최신의 논의를 반영하여 개정 및 증보되었다. 오늘날의 사회변동을 고려하여 새로운 개념을 추가하고(디지털혁명, 탈식민주의) 낡은 개념을 삭제했으며(회복적 사법), 몇몇 개념의 명칭과 순서를 변경했다. 또 개념 전반에 걸쳐 최신 동향에 따른 새로운 연구 결과들을 추가했으며, 각 개념에 관한 기본적 설명 또한 대폭 수정했다. 이를 통해 이 책은 지금의 사회를 이해하고자 하는 독자에게 더욱 적실하고 정교한 설명을 제공하며, ‘현대사회학의 정확한 최신 개념 지도를 제공하겠다’는 저자들의 목적을 이루어 낸다.

The legal and technical rules governing flows of information are out of balance, argues Julie E. Cohen in this original analysis of information law and policy. Flows of cultural and technical information are overly restricted, while flows of personal information often are not restricted at all. The author investigates the institutional forces shaping the emerging information society and the contradictions between those forces and the ways that people use information and information technologies in their everyday lives. She then proposes legal principles to ensure that people have ample room for cultural and material participation as well as greater control over the boundary conditions that govern flows of information to, from, and about them.
