Reintroducing Gabriel Tarde
This book offers a new introduction to the thought of Gabriel Tarde, highlighting the continuing relevance, and even the novelty, of both his general theoretical approach and many of his specific analyses. Showing that Tarde elaborates a comprehension of the social that was received with difficulty in his time but is increasingly akin to ours, it demonstrates that the infinitesimal sociology offered to us by Tarde provides a framework through which we can understand a whole range of social phenomena. With attention to social networks, public opinion, innovation, diffusion, virality and virtuality—all of which were topics addressed by Tarde himself—the author clarifies and elaborates upon Tarde’s central theses on the multiple, differential, infinitesimal and infinite nature of both the social and the subjective. An examination of the importance of a figure whose work looked ahead to our own age, Reintroducing Gabriel Tarde will appeal to scholars and students of social sciences and social theory with interests in contemporary social thought.
From Tarde to Deleuze and Foucault
This book posits that a singular paradigm in social theory can be discovered by reconstructing the conceptual grammar of Gabriel Tarde’s micro-sociology and by understanding the ways in which Gilles Deleuze’s micro-politics and Michel Foucault’s micro-physics have engaged with it. This is articulated in the infinite social multiplicity-invention-imitation-opposition-open system. Guided by infinitist ontology and an epistemology of infinitesimal difference, this paradigm offers a micro-socio-logic capable of producing new ways of understanding social life and its vicissitudes. In the field of social theory, this can be called the infinitesimal revolution.
Matar no es siempre el mismo crimen
Desde las narrativas construidas en los medios de comunicación hasta las fórmulas morales, pasando por los preceptos religiosos y las ideologías jurídicas, los discursos sociales vigentes establecen que, entre todas las acciones legalmente prohibidas, el asesinato es el que merece la pena más severa. Sin embargo, en la práctica, esto no siempre se comprueba. Matar no es siempre el mismo crimen analiza crítica y detalladamente el castigo diferencial del asesinato en Argentina, y cómo este responde a sentidos y valores hegemónicos. A partir de un profundo estudio sociológico sobre las sanciones penales y el trazo de un mapa cognitivo-valorativo que orienta las decisiones judiciales, ...

Masas criminales
Este libro aborda un tema hasta cierto punto olvidado por la criminología actual: el de los delitos colectivos o, más exactamente, el de las multitudes criminales. Olvido curioso, pues fue una de las grandes preocupaciones de los heraldos de la criminología “científica”, desde Scipio Sighele a Gabriel Tarde. Así, el potencial deletéreo y destructivo de las muchedumbres enfervorizadas, constituyó en Europa una preocupación política de primera magnitud en el siglo XIX, sobre todo desde la desfavorable semblanza de Hyppolite Taine sobre la Revolución Francesa, hasta la célebre presentación de la “psicología de las masas” por Gustave Le Bon. La criminología, por ello, heredó el “gran miedo burgués” ante el ascenso de las multitudes; de hecho, tendió a observarlas como si estuviesen fatalmente comprometidas con el desorden social generalizado y el delito. Sobre la construcción de esta perspectiva, que vincula al discurso criminológico con la naciente psicología social, se extiende ampliamente la presente obra.
Hegel-Studien Band 53/54
Im Jahr 2020 warten die Hegel-Studien mit einem Doppelband auf – und das nicht von ungefähr, denn in diesem Jahr gilt es ein Doppeljubiläum zu feiern. Am 27. August jährt sich Hegels Geburtstag zum 250. Mal und vor 200 Jahren sind Hegels »Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts« zuerst erschienen, eines seiner bekanntesten, umstrittensten und vermutlich auch einflussreichsten Werke, das in seiner Diagnostik der Moderne im ganzen Spektrum rechtlicher, moralischer, sozialer, ökonomischer und politischer Motive bis heute nichts von seiner Anziehungskraft verloren hat. Der Jubiläumsband enthält – neben den Rubriken »Perspektiven der Forschung«, Texte und Dokumente«, »Literaturberi...
Passing to América
In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court...
A New Spirit in Business
'A New Spirit in Business is not a sober 'scientific treatise, ' but rather an account of a consciousness change through which the new concepts we so badly need come to light. Their book is both informative and autobiographical-and it is a revelation.I can promise that [reading] this book will be an experience that could change the reader's life."-Ervin Laszlo In the world of business and finance, everything revolves around the economy. But what does the economy revolve around? Journalist Martina Köhler and Swiss entrepreneur Hans Jecklin try to answer this question with the insightful A New Spirit in Business. Whereas several books have been written on companies' social responsibility, stakeholder strategy, and corporate ethics, Köhler and Jecklin tackle it from a different perspective-a human one. By elaborating on the essential features of an integral economy and how to deal with abundance in life, Köhler and Jecklin show how the spiritual and economic sides of business complement each other. Using examples from everyday life, dialogues, and exercises, the relationship between money and spirit takes an innovative shape.
Germany and 'The West'
“The West” is a central idea in German public discourse, yet historians know surprisingly little about the evolution of the concept. Contrary to common assumptions, this volume argues that the German concept of the West was not born in the twentieth century, but can be traced from a much earlier time. In the nineteenth century, “the West” became associated with notions of progress, liberty, civilization, and modernity. It signified the future through the opposition to antonyms such as “Russia” and “the East,” and was deployed as a tool for forging German identities. Examining the shifting meanings, political uses, and transnational circulations of the idea of “the West” sheds new light on German intellectual history from the post-Napoleonic era to the Cold War.
