Which Way is Up? (eBook, ePUB)

Essays on Class, Sex and Culture

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1983 Which Way is Up presents a selection of Bob Connell's writings on three key issues of modern social analysis- sex and gender, class and power, and culture. The essays range from psychoanalysis and contemporary feminism to the role theory, from the analysis of class and culture to the debate about intellectuals and the 'new class'. In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues, the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice.

Easy to read, often witty, the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century, to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas, to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology.
