The new Blackwell companion to social theory

"The New Blackwell Companion to Social provides a comprehensive guide to the principal traditions of social theory, while also exploring critical contemporary issues and engaging sociology with other major areas of the social sciences." "Bringing together leading scholars from various branches of social theory, this authoritative new collection covers areas from classical sociology to actor network theory, and from structuralism to the sociology of the body. It also emphasizes certain key areas of sociology which have had an important impact in shaping the discipline as a whole, such as feminist social theory, economic sociology, and the sociology of religion." "The New Companion argues for a restoration and invigoration of the role of social theory in contemporary sociology, if the discipline is to remain dynamic, critical, and relevant."--Jacket.
