Description: The modern trend in social sciences is towards the development of new techniques and tools of study. The social phenomena, so intricate and exciting but complex has often inspired many scholars and social researchers to invent and experiment new techniques for an integral study of society. Man s quest for knowledge is so infinite that where he so often tries to reach his goal. He is deeply aware of the process and his mind works subtly for a comprehensive understanding of things or phenomena in their integral relationship to other parts and in the essential background of their specific context. Sociology of literature has found its basic origin probably in the growing concern of sociologists to combine various disciplines in studying a social complex; some scholars like S. C. Dube in Indian have talked about interdisciplinary approach. Allied to this idea perhaps emphasis was laid in America and Britain to study a social complex through the contents of its contemporary literature. The belief here is that the literature of a society has not only on it an impact of the age but that it also gives expression to most of the sublime thoughts and themes in contemporary society, and can be relevant to evolving important sociological conclusions. In India the trends of change in family, as well as themes underlying social change can be studied conveniently through the contemporary short stories and novels in Hindi literature. What is important here is the selection of a proper representative period and an authentic set of creative literature. The short stories which treat family situations in their changing contexts can be classified, sociologically, into two broad categories, the short stories which directly express change in the family role obligations under various strains and modern conditions, the changing roles and attitudes of family members towards each other or towards the family institution at large, and the stories which suggest a relative at large, and the stories which suggest a relative loss of transcendental moral and social values. I have selected 1950-1970 as a representatives period for my story takes a new turn and begins to be written not only in a new style, but also with a new approach, and with a social commitment, it is more imbued with reality and is conscious of its sociological and authentic role. Social Change in Contemporary Literature is a novel work in Sociology of Literature.

"Criticism and Social Change speaks with special timeliness to the role of the political intellectual (here embodied in Kenneth Burke). Lentricchia's provocative analysis demands serious reflection by American radicals."—Frederic Jameson "A profound meditation on relations obtaining among writing, political consciousness, and criticism—this last taken in its most general sense. It is written with passion and grace; it is shot through with learning, intimate knowledge of the critical tradition, and a deep (though by no means uncritical) understanding of the work (as well as social significance) of Kenneth Burke."—Hayden White

Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change is the first systematic and detailed overview of modern Tibetan literature, which has burgeoned only in the last thirty years. This comprehensive collection brings together fourteen pioneering scholars in the nascent field of Tibetan literary studies, including authors who are active in the Tibetan literary world itself. These scholars examine the literary output of Tibetan authors writing in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, both in Tibet and in the Tibetan diaspora. The contributors explore the circumstances that led to the development of modern Tibetan literature, its continuities and breaks with classical Tibetan literary forms, and the ways that writers use forms such as magical realism, satire, and humor to negotiate literary freedom within the People’s Republic of China. They provide crucial information about Tibetan writers’ lives in China and abroad, the social and political contexts in which they write, and the literary merits of their oeuvre. Along with deep social, cultural, and political analysis, this wealth of information clarifies the complex circumstances that Tibetan writers face in the PRC and the diaspora. The contributors consider not only poetry, short stories, and novels but also other forms of cultural production—such as literary magazines, films, and Web sites—that provide a public forum in the Tibetan areas of the PRC, where censorship and restrictions on public gatherings remain the norm. Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change includes a previously unavailable list of modern Tibetan works translated into Western languages and a comprehensive English-language index of names, subjects, and terms.

Writing a New Society is the first extended study of the novel in Malay and is a groundbreaking study of the relationship between social change and literary practice. The book traces the emergence of the genre from the 1920s and, drawing on 26 of Malaysia's best-known novels, argues that the form was developed as a vehicle for transforming Malay ideas about themselves and their society. Virginia Hooker focuses on the underlying anxiety about racial identity, which underpins much of Malay writing and examines how ethnic identity is constructed and expressed. In a radical break with the traditional notion of Malay society as being totally dependent on the Sultan, the book shows how the novelists centre their writings on descriptions of 'ordinary' Malays, and present the household as the primary site of change. Here the novels develop and describe a 'private' sphere where Malays who previously had no rights begin to exercise their initiative. The concept of social equality which inspires the novelists subverts many of the themes of modern Malay politics.

Discourse And Contemporary Social Change written by Norman Fairclough and has been published by Peter Lang this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with Discourse analysis categories.
This book draws together a rich variety of perspectives on discourse as a facet of contemporary social change, representing a number of different disciplines, theoretical positions and methods. The specific focus of the volume is on discourse as a moment of social change, which can be seen to involve objects of research which comprise versions of some or all of the following research questions: How and where did discourses (narratives) emerge and develop? How and where did they achieve hegemonic status? How and where and how extensively have they been recontextualized? How and where and to what extent have they been operationalized? The dialectical approach indicated above implies that discourse analysis includes analysis of relations between language (more broadly, semiosis) and its social 'context'.

War And Social Change In Modern Europe written by Sandra Halperin and has been published by Cambridge University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Business & Economics categories.
Halperin traces the persistence of traditional class structures during the development of industrial capitalism in Europe, and the way in which these structures shaped states and state behavior and generated conflict. She documents European conflicts between 1789 and 1914, including small and medium scale conflicts often ignored by researchers and links these conflicts to structures characteristic of industrial capitalist development in Europe before 1945. This book revisits the historical terrain of Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation (1944), however, it argues that Polanyi's analysis is, in important ways, inaccurate and misleading. Ultimately, the book shows how and why the conflicts both culminated in the world wars and brought about a 'great transformation' in Europe. Its account of this period challenges not only Polanyi's analysis, but a variety of influential perspectives on nationalism, development, conflict, international systems change, and globalization.
