Time, Memory, and the Processual Approach in Historical Sociology
Figurace – jaké možnosti a problémy jsou s tímto sociologickým konceptem spojeny
This paper focuses on the concept of figuration, which was an innovation of Norbert Elias, from the standpoint of sociological theory. Among today’s followers of this approach to sociology, considerable emphasis is placed on the explanatory potential of this concept, reflected, among other things, in Elias’s processual approach to the investigation and explanation of social reality being referred to as “sociology of figurations” (Figurationsoziol…

Review article
Institutions: A promising topic insufficiently clarified
The basic question of sociology is what sets of rules and order are used in society and how they are maintained. One possible answer is based on the concept of institutions, which still provokes theoretical discussions due to, among other things, a certain ambiguity, since the term ‘institution’ is, figuratively speaking, shrouded in a kind of fog that prevents it from being captured in any direct, clear way. Today, ambitions of philosophy, polit…

Explaining Social Processes: Perspectives from Current Social Theory and Historical Sociology
Kolektivní paměť jako předmět historicko-sociologického bádání
The article engages with the sociological approach to the problems of collective memory from the historical perspective. The explanation starts with Maurice Halbwachs and his conception of frames of memory and goes on to examine how this was later used by Halbwachs’ followers in France, where the theory of memory was hailed as a new paradigm for social sciences. Special attention is devoted to Pierre Nora’s conception of “places of memory” (les l…
The Society of Individuals: How to Solve the Dilemma of Individualism and Holism in Historical Sociology
One of the questions that Norbert Elias tries to resolve in his work -either explicitly or implicitly- is the issue of the relationship between the individual and society. Elias critically assesses two approaches to this issue that sociology offered in his time, namely the Weberian conception of individualism that postulates the human individual as the starting point of sociological thought, and the Durkheimian conception of holism, which conside…
The Problem of Time from the Perspective of the Social Sciences
This article presents a critical review of ideas about time in modern societies and especially in the social sciences. Man in modern society perceives, reflects and registers time in a series of contexts, whether this involves questions of thought, the physical body, nature or society. Current studies that address the question of time in many cases do so through a comparison of archaic temporal awareness and modern temporal awareness, and attempt…

Social Time, Fact or Fiction? Several Considerations on the Topic
In 1937 P. A. Sorokin, together with R. K. Merton, published an essay entitled Social Time: A Methodological and Functional Analysis, in the American Journal of Sociology. They noted that most social scientists share in a silent assumption about the use of the astronomical concept of evenly flowing, quantitative time, and maintained that the astronomical concept of time has a number of shortcomings when applied in the social sphere, so they tried…

Modernisation Slogans and Myths in the Sociology of the Postwar Period. A Brief Sketch of the Subject
The contribution starts from the model proposed by Jeffrey C. Alexander in the article Modern, Anti, Post and Neo, published in 1994, which outlines what Alexander considers to be the four stages through which modernisation theory has passed in the period since the Second World War: I. modernisation (from the second half of the 1940s to the second half of the 1960s), II. anti-modernisation (up to the second half of the 1970s), III. post-modern, a…

"Dialog mezi hluchými"? K problematice vztahu sociologie a historie ['A Dialogue between the Deaf'? The Relationship between Sociology and History]
The article discusses the relationship between sociology and history in three steps. The fi rst part compares the opinions of researchers who believe that the dividing line between sociology and history should be transcended (Giddens, Abrams) and those who fundamentally disagree with this view (Goldthorpe). The second part looks back in time to show the reciprocal ties between history and sociology as they gradually grew apart and then drew close…

The Czechs and their View of History
This article aims to provide the first complete overview of the nature and content of the historical consciousness of the Czech population to be based on knowledge gained through tools from quantitative sociological methodology. First there is a snapshot of the population's interest in the history of the Czech Republic as such; then the focus is on general aspects of historical consciousness, particularly people's ideas about the importance of th…
Reflections on the concept “crisis”
In the preface to the book “The Crisis of Our Age” its author Pitirim Aleksandrovich Sorokin argues that “every important aspect of the life, organization and the culture of Western society is in extraordinary crisis”. And he continues his words of prophecy: “Its body and mind are sick and there is hardly a spot on its body which is not sore” [Sorokin, 1948 (1942): 7]. Sorokin, of course, was not the only one who perceived their modernity as bein…

Homo sociologicus and the Society of Individuals
The present article follows the themes treated in “The Society of Individuals: How to Solve the Dilemma of Individualism and Holism in Historical Sociology” published in the journa Historická sociologie No. 1/2015. Its primary topic is social roles, a theme actively discussed in sociological literature from the 1950s to the 1980s but afterwards largely neglected because the concepts of individual human actors (agents) and their actions (agency) p…
Postmodern World in sociology of Michel Maffesoli
Статья показывает вклад, внесенный в современную дискуссию о постмодерне французским автором Мишелем Маффесоли; он использовал и соединил друг с другом разные источники – Ф. Ницше, Г. Лебона, Э. Дюркгейма, Г. Тарда, М. Хальбвакса, К. Г. Юнга, Ж. Батая и Э. Морена. С их помощью он создал весьма оригинальную концепцию анализа современного мира, характеризуемого им как мир постмодерна. По мнению Маффесоли, в нашем мире происходит оживление определен…
Do Public Opinion Polls actually Provide a Survey of Public Opinion?
Sociological debates about public opinion have to weigh up theoretical dilemmas. The first of these dilemmas concerns whether public opinion appeared only with the advent of modern society, or whether it was a phenomenon in other, earlier types of society. The second dilemma is associated with the opposites of «realistic» and «nominalistic» approaches. The third dilemma is the contradiction between «monistic» and «pluralistic» positions. However,…
