Foundations of Sociology

Foundations of Sociology

Richard Jenkins

Red Globe Press
2002
nidottu
This book argues that the foundations of sociology - key concepts which are necessary to all sociology, from whatever perspective - have become taken-for-granted and require re-assessment. Focusing on society, culture, the individual, and collectivity, the author builds a powerful case for an overhaul of these basic concepts, offering a unified model of the subject matter of sociology as 'the human world' - understood as individual, interactional and institutional orders - which is part of the 'natural world'. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this is a powerful restatement of the value of sociological sense as a necessary critique of common sense, and its relevance to an audience far beyond academia.

I particularly relished his critical approach to the work of Bourdieu and believe that he has written a timely introduction which both undergraduates and experienced teachers will find stimulating and enjoyable.'- Mike Hepworth, University of Aberdeen

Racism and Recruitment

Racism and Recruitment

Richard Jenkins

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
This book, first published in 1986, focuses upon the processes whereby black workers were systematically disadvantaged in the recruitment and selection process. Based on research into forty organisations in the public, manufacturing and retailing sectors in Britain, the book argues that straightforward, racist, direct discrimination was still a major problem during the mid-1980s. In addition the book identifies a range of more subtle processes, involving stereotypes of acceptability and ethnic stereotypes, informal social networks and 'word of mouth' contacts, which also constitute a barrier for black job seekers. These processes are documented on the basis of extensive quotations from interviews. Using detailed case-study material from two organisations the author draws attention to the importance of organisational politics and their impact upon the recruitment of black workers and the formulation and implementation of equal opportunity policies. Finally the implications of unemployment and recession for the prospects of black workers are discussed and the feasibility and desirability of a range of policy options are assessed.

Black Magic and Bogeymen

Black Magic and Bogeymen

Richard Jenkins

Cork University Press
2014
sidottu
This is an analysis of a popular scare about black magic and Satanism in the North of Ireland between 1972 and 1974. The book gives an insight into a particularly grim period during the early 1970s in Northern Ireland, using an extremely unusual episode - the black magic rumours - as a privileged window onto a world that may now be behind us, but which continues to fascinate many readers. The book provides a fascinating insight into some of the problems and procedures of social history. The author demonstrates that phenomena like the black magic rumours cannot be understood without taking a multidisciplinary approach, taking in perspectives and comparative evidence from anthropology, sociology, folklore and media studies.

Cannabis and Young People

Cannabis and Young People

Richard Jenkins

Jessica Kingsley Publishers
2005
pokkari
Cannabis is at the centre of ongoing controversial and often confused debate. Opinions on its potential impact on health are sharply divided: some argue that it poses serious risks to mental health and that adolescent use may lead to psychotic illness in young adulthood, or that it acts as a gateway to hard drugs such as cocaine or opiates. Conversely, others point to alcohol or tobacco being far more harmful yet entirely legal.Cannabis and Young People aims to shed light on the current debates by reviewing all the available evidence on a range of issues relating to the use of cannabis among children and adolescents and summarizing the main conclusions in clear, jargon-free language.Areas covered include:* Patterns of cannabis use* Changes in usage* Young people's views on cannabis* The potential harmful effects, including mental health problems, educational attainment, antisocial behaviour* The family and social factors that can initiate cannabis use* The progression to regular use* The effects of decriminalizationThis book will be an essential read for anyone needing informed, authoritative information about cannabis and its effects.

Being Danish

Being Danish

Richard Jenkins

Museum Tusculanum Press
2012
nidottu
This book is a major contribution to the sociology and anthropology of identity and to debates about identity in Denmark and elsewhere in Europe. Using extensive archival material alongside ethnographic fieldwork, the book explores being Danish, the meanings and practices which produced and reproduced Danishness in an ordinary Danish town during the 1990s. Among the many issues explored are attitudes to the European Union, the symbolism of the royal house and the flag, the States contribution to personal identity, the place of Christianity in Danishness, and the impact on Danes of the recent arrival of mainly Islamic immigrants. Bringing the story up to date with a discussion of the national political shift to the right since the late 1990s, the book concludes with a critical examination of the future of Danishness. Since 1992 and the Danish rejection of the EUs Maastricht Treaty, through the affair of the Mohammed cartoons in 2005, Denmark, although only a small country, has occupied a disproportionately visible place in European and global politics. The only detailed ethnographic study of the full spectrum of modern Danish identity, this book will find a wide market in anthropology, sociology, political science, international relations and European studies. This second edition brings the book further up to date with a discussion of recent developments, including the 2011 Danish general elections which saw a political shift back to the left. The author furthermore reflects on the responses and reviews that that the publication of the first edition fostered.

At være dansk

At være dansk

Richard Jenkins

Museum Tusculanums Forlag
2014
nidottu
Med et skarpt blik for hverdagslivets detaljer tegner den nordirske antropolog og sociolog Richard Jenkins et øjenåbnende portræt af dansk identitet. At være dansk er fuld af interessante historier om danskerne og Danmark set udefra. Høflighed, humor og danske skikke, f.eks. hele tiden at sige ”tak” og bruge Dannebrog ved enhver given lejlighed, sættes under lup. Blandt de mange emner, Jenkins undersøger, er også danskernes holdning til indvandring, EU og kongehuset, kristendommens rolle i Danmark, og hvordan den danske stat bidrager til den enkeltes identitet – bl.a. via skolesystemet og CPR-registeret. Richard Jenkins analyserer ’danskhed’ som en praksis – som noget almindelige mennesker gør i hverdagslivet, og som derfor er i stadig udvikling. Han ser på, hvordan vi danskere forstår os selv og ikke mindst ”de Andre”, f.eks. forholdet mellem Jylland og København og mellem Danmark og Tyskland. For første gang foreligger Jenkins’ værk nu i dansk oversættelse. Bogen er forsynet med en ny introduktion, efterskrift og appendiks. Efterskriftet rummer Jenkins’ refleksioner over den politiske og kulturelle udvikling i Danmark siden den engelske udgave, Being Danish, udkom første gang i 2011, ligesom han forholder sig til nogle af de reaktioner, hans analyse af danskhedens fremtid affødte i den danske offentlighed. I appendikset ”Etnicitet i hverdagslivet” fremlægger forfatteren den teoretiske baggrund for undersøgelsen, bl.a. en grundmodel for etnicitet. Bogen, der er baseret på arkivstudier og feltarbejde i Skive, er det første detaljerede etnografiske studie af moderne dansk identitet i dens mange former. Richard Jenkins er professor emeritus i sociologi ved University of Sheffield. Han har udført socialantropologisk feltarbejde i Nordirland, England, Wales og Danmark. Blandt hans tidligere udgivelser kan nævnes Social Identity (4. udg., Routledge 2014), Rethinking Ethnicity (2. udg., Sage 2008), Foundations of Sociology (Palgrave Macmillan, 2002) og Black Magic and Bogeymen (Cork University Press, 2014). At være dansk er en omarbejdet og udvidet version af Being Danish (2. udg., Museum Tusculanum Press 2012).

Social Identitet

Social Identitet

Richard Jenkins

Gyldendal
2006
nidottu
Hvordan danner vi os en idé om, hvem vi er, hvad vi er, og hvordan kan vi være noget særligt, når så mange andre er ligesom os? Sådanne spørgsmål berører på forskellig måde begrebet identitet og i særdeleshed social identitet. Identitet er en proces, en bestræbelse, der varer ved, og som involverer ikke blot andre mennesker men også bredere sociale kollektiver. Dette er et af hovedargumenterne i denne 2. udgave af den engelske sociologiprofessor Richard Jenkins' populære og anerkendte bog om social identitet. Richard Jenkins behandler begrebet social identitet ud fra Erving Goffmans, George Herbert Meads og Fredrik Barths værker. I kapitler om det kropsliggjorte selv, grupper og kategorier, institutionalisering og identifikation, identitet og modernitet, illustrerer Jenkins, hvordan social identitet i høj grad handler om mening og betydninger, og hvordan disse meninger og betydninger til stadighed kommunikeres, forhandles, modificeres og udvikles gennem sociale samhandlinger. Social identitet har i dette perspektiv at gøre med den proces, hvorigennem individer eller kollektiver etablerer relationer. Vores fornemmelse af hvem vi er, og hvem andre er, involverer både identifikations- og kategoriseringsprocesser. Uden en viden om hvem vi selv og andre er, kan vi ikke være i stand til at interagere meningsfuldt. Identitet er således forudsætningen for den tilstand, der kaldes ‘samfund’. Bogen giver selvsagt ikke nogen udtømmende analyse af identitetsbegrebets historie og implikationer, men den er med sin klare og koncise fremstilling en velegnet introduktion til identitetsbegrebet. Bogen henvender sig til en bred læserskare af studerende og andre med interesse i identitetsbegrebet.

Tyrrell

Tyrrell

Richard Jenkins; Sir Jackie Stewart

Evro Publishing
2023
sidottu
Ken Tyrrell's famous Formula 1 racing team will forever be associated with Jackie Stewart and the three World Championship titles they won together. But the Tyrrell story is far bigger than that, embracing nearly 40 action-packed years, from initial forays as an entrant in Formula Junior in 1960 to eventual demise in 1998. Along the way, the team with its larger-than-life proprietor was always universally respected in the world's Formula 1 paddocks, often as the plucky underdog. In compiling this comprehensive history, the author has interviewed dozens of surviving team members - including most of the drivers and many mechanics - to gather their memories and present an energetic, touching, compelling and above all entertaining narrative. Published in the 50th anniversary year of Tyrrell's last championship title, this book will be treasured by all racing enthusiasts.
