Gabriel Tarde On Communication and Social Influence
Gabriel Tarde ranks as one of the most outstanding sociologists of nineteenth-century France, though not as well known by English readers as his peers Comte and Durkheim. This book makes available Tarde’s most important work and demonstrates his continuing relevance to a new generation of students and thinkers. Tarde’s landmark research and empirical analysis drew upon collective behavior, mass communications, and civic opinion as elements to be explained within the context of broader social patterns. Unlike the mass society theorists that followed in his wake, Tarde integrated his discussions of societal change at the macrosocietal and individual levels, anticipating later twentieth-century thinkers who fused the studies of mass communications and public opinion research. Terry N. Clark’s introduction, considered the premier guide to Tarde’s opus, accompanies this important work, reprinted here for the first time in forty years.
The Oxford Handbook of Process Philosophy and Organization Studies
This Handbook presents key ideas of philosophers and social theorists whose ideas inform process approaches to organization studies. Each chapter addresses the background and context of this thinker, their work (with a focus on the processual elements), and the potential contribution to organization and management research.
The Laws of Imitation
This fascinating book contains a detailed treatise on the laws of imitation, being an exposition on the science, history, and philosophy of intimation as an important social phenomenon. This thorough treatment of the subject will greatly appeal to those with a keen interest in sociology and psychology, and it is a must-have for fans and collectors of Gabriel Tarde's influential work. The chapters of this book include: 'Universal Repetition', 'Social Resemblances and Imitation', 'What is a Society?', 'Archeology and Statistics', 'The Logical Laws of Imitation', 'Extra-Logical Influences', 'Remarks and Corollaries', etcetera. Jean-Gabriel De Tarde (1843 – 1904) was a French sociologist, criminologist and social psychologist who maintained that sociology is based on the minute psychological interactions between individuals. The fundamental forces in these interactions are 'imitation' and 'innovation'. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Penal Philosophy
Tarde constructs a sociological explanantion of crime in which the individual is ultimately the principal actor, and suggests forms of penalty whose principles avoided the determinist implications of positivism. The book should be of interest to students of criminology, jurisprudence and sociology.

On Flat Ontologies and Law
This book examines the importance of flat ontologies for law and sociolegal theory. Associated with the emergence of new materialism in the humanities and social sciences, the elaboration of flat ontologies challenges the binarism that has maintained the separation of culture from nature, and the human from the nonhuman. Although most work in legal theory and sociolegal studies continues to adopt a non-flat, anthropocentric and immaterial take on law, the critique of this perspective is becoming more and more influential. Engaging the increasing legal interest in flat ontologies, this book offers an account of the main theoretical perspectives, and their importance for law. Covering the work...

The Social after Gabriel Tarde
The social sciences and humanities are now being swept by a Tardean revival, a rediscovery and reappraisal of the work of this truly unique thinker, for whom ‘everything is a society and every science a sociology’. Tarde is being brought forward as the misrecognised forerunner of a post-Durkheimian era. Reclaimed from a century of near-oblivion, his sociology has been linked to Foucaultian microphysics of power, to Deleuze's philosophy of difference, and most recently to the spectrum of approaches related to Actor Network Theory. In this connection, Bruno Latour hailed Tarde’s sociology as "an alternative beginning for an alternative social science". This volume asks what such an alternative social science might look like.
