Simmel, Georg, 2009, Sociology: Inquiries into the Construction of Social Forms (2 Volumes). Trans. and eds. by Anthony J. Blasi, Anton K. Jacobs & Matthew Kanjiranthinkal
Introduction: Georg Simmel's 'Sociological Metaphysics': Money, Sociality, and Precarious Life
The articles brought together in this double-length section of the Annual Review of Theory, Culture & Society focus on two intertwined strands of the thought of Georg Simmel, both of them neglected until recent years. A first bears on what might be called Simmel's metaphysics of the social, or what he himself once called 'sociological metaphysics'. A second strand centres on the renewed contemporary relevance of Simmel's ideas about money economi…

Les illusions spéculaires du capitalisme: Balzac et Marx sur les fictions critiques de l'économie politique
Balzac éclaire le tissu des fictions et des fantaisies qui soutient la vie sociale moderne et fournit un canevas à partir duquel Marx tentera d'analyser la production systématique des illusions sur lesquelles reposent les relations sociales. Entre les textes de Balzac et de Marx, entre les intrigues dramatiques de l'un et les analyses historiques de l'autre, il y a cependant plus qu'une simple image en miroir ou qu'une relation analogique : ce so…
Pierre Saint-Arnaud, African American Pioneers of Sociology: A Critical History
The difference between the translated English title and the original French title -L'invention de la sociologie noire aux États-Unis d'Amérique: Essai en sociologie de la connaissance scientifique -of Pierre Saint-Arnaud's important and richly researched book (or "essay") seems to indicate a productive tension within its core argument.The work is indeed a "critical history" of a subfield of sociology in the US from 1865 (the end of the Civil War)…
Weber/Simmel/Du Bois: Musical Thirds of Classical Sociology
Three classics of sociology are discussed for how they treat music as a social symptom of modernity's rationalization process, as a conceptual model of modern sociality, and as a generic resource for sociological writing. Where parts of Max Weber's The Rational and Social Foundations of Music focus on the distinctive 'ethos' of creative composition within the rise of modern music, passages in Georg Simmel's Schopenhauer and Nietzsche address the …
The Sociological Imagination and its Imperial Shadows
This article commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of The Sociological Imagination by recalling, renewing and updating C. Wright Mills' pledge to expand a politically aware, self-reflective and publicly accessible intellectual culture between aestheticism and scientism. We begin by sketching how Mills' 'bifocal' vision of the translation between the close-up perspective on personal milieus and the longer view of social structures contrasts with r…
Introduction - Allosociality: Bridges and Doors to Simmel's Social Theory of the Limit
Spirits of Late Capitalism
Taking Max Weber's conception of the modern capitalist world system as a classical precedent, and with reference to a series of analytical schemas on capital formation, this essay takes three recent books as a starting point for examining the revival of critical theoretical attention to 'the new capitalism'. The Social Structures of the Economy by Pierre Bourdieu focuses on the erosion of the separation between business and household economies by…

Instrumentum Vocale: A Note on Max Weber’s Value-free Polemics and Sociological Aesthetics
Max Weber's reply to Werner Sombart's lecture on technology and culture, presented at the first meeting of the German Sociological Society held in Frankfurt in 1910, is discussed in terms of its conventional and improvised character as a distinctive mode of 'sociological' speech. Emphasis is placed on the specific rhetorical circumstances that gave rise to these remarks, especially with regard to Weber's status as an authorized speaker at the mee…

Litigating Illiteracy: The Media, the Law, and The People of the State of New York v. Adelbert Ward
Making sense of the problems which illiterate people face in gaining access to justice puts the foundations of both the ethnography of law and the modern justice system itself into question. The essay explores this thesis with reference to the case of an elderly dairy farmer whose arrest for the mercy killing of his ailing brother attracted intense local and national attention. Documents from the trial which deal with the construction and use of …
