The Established and the Outsiders (Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society) - Softcover
Book 73 of 127: Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society
Synopsis
The Established and the Outsiders is a classic text from two major figures in the world of sociology. Developing a series of theoretical concepts essential to the understanding of such sociological configurations as ethnic and gender relations, Norbert Elias and John L. Scotson analyze the effects and experiences of those within--and without--the boundaries of traditional society. Through the evaluation of community, the authors apply microcosmic study to macrocosmic philosophy and planning; mutual identification and functional democratization are among the topics discussed in this context. Offering its first English language introduction, the second edition of this enduring work remains requisite reading for students and scholars of social theory, sociology, and anthropology.

About the Author
The late Norbert Elias′ work ranged across societies of all types and historical eras and transcended disciplinary boundaries. Among the many original features of his work was a committment to sociology as a historical science examining long-term developmental processes. His books include The Civilizing Process, The Court Society, What is Sociology and The Symbol Theory (Sage, 1991).
The late John L Scotson was a lecturer at Lougborough College of Further Education.
From the Back Cover
The book examines the mechanisms of stigmatisation, taboo and gossip, monopolisation of power, collective fantasy and "we" and "they" images which support and reinforce divisions in society. Developing aspects of Norbert Elias's thinking that relate his work to current sociological concerns, it presents the fullest elaboration of his concepts of mutual identification and functional democratisation.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Established and the Outsiders is a classic text from one of the major figures of world sociology. This new edition includes a theoretical introduction, published in English for the first time. In Norbert Elias's hands, a local community study of tense relations between an established group and outsiders - with no other discernible difference between them - becomes a microcosm that illuminates a wide range of sociological configurations including racial, ethnic, class and gender relations. The book examines the mechanisms of stigmatisation, taboo and gossip, monopolisation of power, collective fantasy and "we" and "they" images which support and reinforce divisions in society. Developing aspects of Elias's thinking that relate his work to current sociological concerns, it presents the fullest elaboration of his concepts of mutual identification and functional democratisation. The Established and the Outsiders not only brings out the important theoretical implications of a small-scale local study but also demonstrates the significance of such detailed analysis for better sociological theory.It will be essential reading for students and scholars in social theory, sociology and anthropology. A local community study of tense relations between an established group and outsiders becomes a microcosm that illuminates a range of sociological configurations. The Established and the Outsiders examines the mechanisms of stigmatization, monopolization of power, collective fantasy and `we and `they images which support and reinforce divisions in society.
