Using concepts developed by a series of 'maverick anthropologists who were systematically marginalised as their ideas fell outside the standard academic canon such as Arnold van Gennep Marcel Mauss Paul Radin Lucien L vy - Bruhl and Gregory Bateson the authors argue that such concepts are necessary for understanding better the rise and dynamics of the modern world including the development of the social sciences in particular sociology and anthropology. Concepts discussed include liminality imitation schismogenesis and trickster which provide an anthropological 'toolkit for readers to develop innovative understandings of the underlying power mechanisms of globalized modernity. Aimed at graduate students and researchers the book is clearly structured. Part I introduces the 'maverick anthropologists while Part II applies the maverick tool - kit to revisit the history of sociological thought and the question of modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: From Anthropology To Social Theory Rethinking The Social Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Thomassen Bj rn (Roskilde Universitet Denmark)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781108438384\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 294 Pages, Worked Examples Or Exercises\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/7\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Anthropology","brand":"Thomassen Bj Rn (Roskilde Universitet Denmark)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49612576260401,"sku":"IN-G-9781108438384","price":37.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781108438384.jpg?v=1724605954","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781108438384-from-anthropology-to-social-theory-rethinking-the-social-sciences","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
