本书通过大量的田野考察资料，系统深入地研究了未开化人类的“具体性”与“整体性”思维的特点，认为未开化人的具体思维与开化人的抽象思维没有高下之分，而是互相平行发展，各司其职，人类的艺术活动与科学活动即与这两种思维 方式相符。书中涉猎广泛，论述方式别具一格，是一部具有哲学意趣的理论人类学专著。

西美尔对现代社会中宗教处境问题的诊断，对文化的本质及现代文化冲突的解读，都体现出他对现代人的精神结构和生存处境的反思。他提出的“社会如何可能”的问题与“宗教如何可能”的问题是一体的。从他对“宗教如何可能”问题的解答，可以看到他对“社会如何可能”的问题的解答，从中牵连出不少重要命题，比如宗教与劳动分工的关系，个体性与归属性的关系，宗教与社会平等的关系，宗教宽容问题，值得我们经常回味。
本书认为，宗教整合性简直就是社会整合性的绝对形式，克服了性别差异的整合性构成了一种特殊的宗教类型，神不仅是个人的个性、活力、合乎道德或缺乏道德的秉性以及爱好的需要的理想化，而且很多情况下是个体之间的社会生活形式赋予了宗教观念以内容，收入《论宗教》、《宗教的地位问题》、《1870年以来德国生活与思想的趋向》等精彩论文，极具学术价值。

Victor Rios grew up in the ghetto of Oakland, California in the 1908s and 90s. A former gang member and juvenile delinquent, Rios managed to escape the bleak outcome of many of his friends and earned a PhD at Berkeley and returned to his hometown to study how inner city young Latino and African American boys develop their sense of self in the midst of crime and intense policing. Punished examines the difficult lives of these young men, who now face punitive policies in their schools, communities, and a world where they are constantly policed and stigmatized. Rios followed a group of forty delinquent Black and Latino boys for three years. These boys found themselves in a vicious cycle, caught in a spiral of punishment and incarceration as they were harassed, profiled, watched, and disciplined at young ages, even before they had committed any crimes, eventually leading many of them to fulfill the destiny expected of them. But beyond a fatalistic account of these marginalized young men, Rios finds that the very system that criminalizes them and limits their opportunities, sparks resistance and a raised consciousness that motivates some to transform their lives and become productive citizens. Ultimately, he argues that by understanding the lives of the young men who are criminalized and pipelined through the criminal justice system, we can begin to develop empathic solutions which support these young men in their development and to eliminate the culture of punishment that has become an overbearing part of their everyday lives.

凭借近二十年的深入田野工作和人类学家的辛辣眼光，作者一层层地呈现了博彩行业、赌博者个体和现代社会基本理念的全景：
·赌博业为不断盈利并掌控消费者，精益求精地研究方方面面细节：机器算法、道路形制、室内灯光、屏幕角度、取款手段、会员追踪技术乃至急救措施……
·背负着生活压力、身心病痛、情感变故的赌博者，为何又如何一步步深陷赌博机营造的迷幻境地不可自拔，哪怕他们就是赌场雇员甚至赌博机设计师；
·一个个原子化现代个体在“全权为自己负责”的无尽重压下，面对购物、运动、聊天、刷剧、烟酒、药物、加班等万事万物时，都可能无力抵抗诱惑，而戒赌的方法和陷入赌瘾的途径，乃是同一条路……

她们曾经是律师、会计师、教师、设计师、记者、医生、出版商、学者……有着高额的薪水和远大的职业前景，最终却有了一个共同的归宿：全职家庭主妇。
作者沙尼·奥加德对受过高等教育的伦敦女性及其伴侣进行了深入采访，这些女性为了照顾孩子回归家庭，而丈夫则继续从事高薪工作。媒体和政策鼓励职业女性维持工作和家庭的平衡、构建伙伴式的平等夫妻关系。而女性们面对的现实情况却截然相反：不友好的职场文化、对家庭妇女的污名化和对育儿事务的贬低……她们牺牲了事业，结果发现家庭也不是真正的避风港。
沙尼向我们揭示了性别平等口号和女性遭受的不公正待遇间的巨大落差：自主选择的背后是结构性的不平等，幸福的表象之下则是深深的愤怒和失望。《回归家庭》希望能够倾听这些女性的心声，并以此为起点，帮助她们在家庭生活和工作中，获得迟来的、真正的平等。

Unrivalled in scope and depth, and prepared by one of the acknowledged giants of contemporary social theory, this boxed set provides a magisterial review of the central canons, discourses and research programmes in social theory. The reader is provided with a route-map through the complex terrain of social theory from classical to contemporary times. Alexander distils an amazingly rich set of resources into eight exceptional volumes. For the specialist who does not have all of these materials to hand, the set offers an incisive and invaluable research aid. For the non-specialist, the volumes constitute an elegant and reliable entry into the heart of what is important in social theory. For specialist and non-specialist alike, Alexander's choices will be a fascinating insight into his view of the essentials in the Western tradition of social theory.The collection begins with a specially prepared essay by Alexander which precludes a view of social theory as a 'glorious' onward march. Instead, he concentrates on the relativity of social theory, a relativity that derives from the status of sociology as a human science rather than a science of nature. The Introduction provides the reader with a guide through the main structural shifts in social theory. It demonstrates why the classics are significant and elucidates their contemporary relevance; and indicates the limitations of the classical tradition, tracing where these limitations have borne fruit in contemporary research initiatives and achievements. Alexander identifies central canons in sociological research and lays the groundwork for framing each. Urbane, shrewd and compelling, Alexander's mapping of the canons will inspire debate in sociology and offers an exciting new reorientation for reading and understanding social theory.

As socialist regimes crumbled across Eastern Europe and statues of their leaders were dismantled, another pattern arose in the former Iron Curtain nations: the bodies of political leaders, revolutionary heroes, artists, and other luminaries were taken from their graves to be reinterred - and in many cases, repatriated - in new, symbolically charged locations. What forces inspired these exhumations of long-dead spirits of Eastern Europe's past, from composer Bela Bartok's New York-Budapest journey to evictions of a group of Romanian communist leaders from their exalted mausoleums to a scattering of humble graveyards? What are the effects for the living of removing the bones of the dead from their resting places for ceremonial - or unceremonious - reburial? In this book, anthrolopogist Katherine Verdery explores Eastern Europe's political transformation from the perspective of sacred, symbolic ways that nations and cultures redefine themselves when new political orders are installed.

* 第一部伟大的女权主义著作 * 2005年，《女权的辩护》与《圣经》、《物种起源》等一同入选英国著名作家梅尔文·布拉格评选出的12部影响世界的作品 《女权的辩护》出版于1792年，是沃斯通克拉夫特的经典之作。 这本书或许也有助于视“女权主义”为洪水猛兽的人破除这样的偏见，因为作者写作的年代，根本还没有“女权主义(Feminism)”这个词语，她所使用的说法是“女性的权利(Rights of Women)”。书中谈到了教育、婚姻以及生活中最常见的那些对两性的区别对待，及其造成的对男女双方的不良后果。而“女权主义”追认玛丽•沃斯通克拉夫特为先驱，也因为这种种基本“权利”的不平等，正是女权主义的出发点。 “她国”系列精选了西方关于女性主义的经典作品，如果你对性别议题感兴趣，不妨一读。

An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains relevant more than twenty years after its original publication. More than twenty years ago, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley, professor Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of conversation and controversy with his bestselling book, "The Second Shift" In it, she examined what really happens in dual-career households. Adding together time in paid work, child care, and housework, she found that working mothers put in a month of work a year more than their spouses. Updated for a workforce now half female, this edition cites a range of new studies and statistics and includes a new afterword in which Hochschild assesses how much-and how little-has changed for women today.

What is reality, really?
Are humans more special or important than the non-human objects we perceive?
How does this change the way we understand the world?
We humans tend to believe that things are only real in as much as we perceive them, an idea reinforced by modern philosophy, which privileges us as special, radically different in kind from all other objects. But as Graham Harman, one of the theory's leading exponents, shows, Object-Oriented Ontology rejects the idea of human specialness: the world, he states, is clearly not the world as manifest to humans. At the heart of this philosophy is the idea that objects - whether real, fictional, natural, artificial, human or non-human - are mutually autonomous. In this brilliant new introduction, Graham Harman lays out the history, ideas and impact of Object-Oriented Ontology, taking in everything from art and literature, politics and natural science along the way.

现代社会日益增长的多元文化组织和结构，带未了诸多新的议题和挑战，例如在种族和民族上占少数的群体，越来越要求社会对其自有的文化身份加以承认和支持。本书所阐述的，正是这些少数文化群体的权利和现状。本书讨论了多元文化政治中的一些核心问题，如少数群体的语言权、群体代表制、土地要求、联邦制和独立等等。这些问题往往在当代自由主义理论中被有意或无意地忽视了。 1996年，本书夺得加拿大政治学学会和美国政治学学会的两项大奖，正如查尔斯·泰勒在《美国政治学评论》中称赞的那样， “在有关多元文化主义的当代讨论中，这是一本十分重要、不可取代的著作。”

【内容简介】
大学文凭是通向成功的敲门砖吗？赚钱越多的工作，对社会贡献越大吗？只要努力就能成功的社会，就是公正的吗？
当“美国梦”成为谎言，当平等的假象造成胜者的傲慢与败者的愤怒，当不同立场的人失去相互倾听的能力，跟随桑德尔在《精英的傲慢》中重新思考教育的目的、工作的价值与成功的定义，是每一个社会和个体都需要经历的思辨。
·
曾经，社会承诺人们“只要努力，就能成功”⸺如果每个人都能在同等机会下公平竞争，那么优胜者就应该获得奖赏。这是“美国梦”所代表的理想，也是大多数现代社会认同的优绩至上主义的伦理核心。
然而桑德尔认为，昔日激励无数人奋斗的“美国梦”，恰恰是造成今日美国社会分裂的根源，这种看似公平的成功观造成精英的傲慢和底层民众的怨恨，使成功者深信其成功是自身努力的结果，忘记帮助他们的时机和运气，轻视比自己不幸和缺乏资格的人。这一现状阻碍了社会流动，助长阶级对立，侵蚀民主政治，最终导致民粹主义的兴起。
面对优绩的霸权，桑德尔希望每位公民思考：不同阶层的人是否可以谋求一种公共利益？我们对彼此的责任是什么？他带领我们从以下三个方面进行思辨：教育的本质与目的，如何建立每一份工作的价值与尊严，重新反思成功的意义。同时，他提醒我们保持谦卑，珍惜所有人的付出，积极讨论更有利于社会公正的举措，走向一种少些怨恨、多些包容的公共生活。

婚姻是两个个体的结合，但同时也是两种关于性别、公平和感激的观念进行交锋的舞台。工业革命以来，女性得以进入职场，却并未从家庭劳动中解放出来。一方面，现代化使她们作为劳动者进入职场参与第一轮班；另一方面，回到家她们也必须作为主力承担第二轮班：做家务并照顾小孩。多数男性并不分担照顾子女和家庭的任务。这使得女性承担了每年几乎多出一个月的额外劳动，也令她们生活于事业和家庭的双重压力之下。
本书是美国知名社会学家霍克希尔德关于职场父母婚姻中家务分配的专著， 作者引入了一系列的概念——比如“停滞的性别革命”、“感激经济”和（为掩饰冲突而制造的）“家庭迷思”等以帮助读者理解人们从职场回来后在家上“第二班”的种种情形。作者对多个典型样本家庭进行了深入地访谈与交流，论证有力，内容翔实，是性别学与社会学的杰出作品。兼具理论洞见和文字之美，被翻译成多国文字出版。
