SOCIAL THEORY, RESEARCH METHODS AND METHODOLOGIESDialectics in Social ThoughtThe Present CrisisGeoffrey R Skoll, Buffalo State College, USA"Skoll’s book sheds light on a thorough examinationof postmodern society, which leads readers tounderstand the state of uncertainty and vulnerabilityeveryone faces today. The success of liberal thoughtrests on the fractional field of knowledge it produces.Not only is this world overwhelming complex butalso alludes to obscure the dialectics. This masterworkunearths the contributions of psychoanalysisand transference to explore the social institutionsand their produced subject: a necessary meditation,which discusses the role of social science in nextyears. Undoubtely, Dialectics in Social Thought offersa valid attempt to answer the open questions ofFreud's psychology and Marx's economy. This is oneof the best books I have ever read in these themes." - Maximiliano E.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY21st Century Jocks: Sporting Men andContemporary HeterosexualityEric Anderson, University of Winchester, UK"Drawing from a decade of research into young maleathletes' heterosexuality, Professor Eric Andersonanalyzes the dramatic shift in how today's jocksperform masculinity and heterosexuality comparedto those of just a decade ago. Showing that theyreject much of the hyper-masculine posturing of theirathletic forefathers, in both the United States andUnited Kingdom, Anderson shows that jocks todaycelebrate their gay teammates and revel in theirexpanded notions of sexuality. They are having more,and more diverse, sexual encounters, and in what willshock many men over 30, this includes a great deal ofphysical intimacy with other men. Anderson showsthat high school and university straight male jocks arekissing, cuddling and loving other jocks. 21st Century Jocks is therefore a mustread have for anyone interested in sport, masculinity, or heterosexuality." -George Cunningham, Director of the Laboratory for Diversity in Sport, TexasA&M University, USADrawing on hundreds of interviews with 15-22 year old straight and gay maleathletes in both the United States and the United Kingdom, this book exploreshow jocks have redefined heterosexuality, and no longer fear being thought gay forbehaviors that constrained men of the previous generation.Contents: Introduction * PART I: 20TH CENTURY JOCKS * 1.

GENDER AND SEXUALITYPornography and SerialityThe Culture of Producing PleasureSarah Schaschek, American Institute for Foreign Studies,Germany"In a surprising and astute move, Sarah Schaschekuses the most 'boring' aspects of pornography- its repetitions of the same sex acts, gestures,and affects - as a way to better understand therepetitions, seemingly the same, but always with aslight difference, of seriality itself. Thinking aboutpornography through the lens of seriality, Schaschekreminds us that the essence of all mass culturalproduction adheres to rhythmic processes of copyingand reproduction." - Linda Williams, author of HardCore: Power, Pleasure and the Frenzy of the Visible(1989/1999) and Porn Studies (2004)Repetition and seriality are inherent in pornography and is constitutive for itsfunctionality as a film genre, an industry, and an area of gender studies. By linkingthe styles of the genre to processes of serial production, consumption, anddiscussion, Schaschek questions the dominant assumptions about pornographyand the stability of the genre.Contents: 1.

CULTURE AND MEDIACULTURE AND MEDIAAmerican Journal of Cultural SociologyEditors: Jeffrey C. Alexander, Yale University, USA, RonaldN. Jacobs, University at Albany, State University of NewYork, USA,Philip Smith, Yale University, USAThe American Journal of Cultural Sociology aims toprovide a single space where cultural sociologists canfollow the latest developments and debates within thefield.As contemporary sociology registered the continuingrobustness of cultural power, the new discipline ofcultural sociology was born. How should these complexcultural processes be conceptualized? What are thebest empirical ways to study social meaning? Even asdebates rage around these field-specific theoretical andmethodological questions, a broadly cultural sensibility has spread into every arenaof sociological study, illuminating how struggles over meaning affect the mostdisparate processes of contemporary social life. Bringing together the best of thesestudies and debates, the American Journal of Cultural Sociology publicly crystallizesthe cultural turn in contemporary sociology. By providing a common forumfor the many voices engaged in meaning-centered social inquiry, the AJCS willfacilitate communication, sharpen contrasts, sustain clarity, and allow for periodiccondensation and synthesis of different perspectives.ISSN: 20497113 / EISSN: 20497121For more information, please visit: http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ajcsCULTURAL SOCIOLOGY SERIESSocial TragedyThe Power of Myth, Ritual, and Emotion in the New Media EcologyStephanie Alice Baker, University of Greenwich, UK"Social Tragedy illuminates the contours of latemodernity by reviving—and revitalizing—thesocial ethics of Plato and Aristotle as a means ofunderstanding our commitments and vulnerabilitiesenacted through the rituals in which we find ourselves,as participants and spectators.
