Elias effectively founded the modern sociology of sport in collaboration with Eric Dunning in the 1960s and 1970s. They argue that in highly constrained, 'civilized' societies, sports are to be understood not in terms of 'relaxation' but rather of the need for pleasurable excitement and its pleasurable resolution. Volume 7 in University College Dublin's Collected Works of Norbert Elias series.

The Civilizing Process" stands out as Norbert Elias' greatest work, tracing the "civilizing" of manners and personality in Western Europe since the late Middle Ages by demonstrating how the formation of states and the monopolization of power within them changed Western society forever.

Aims to turn an ancient philosophical question - what is time? - into a researchable theoretical-empirical problem. What we call 'time' is neither an innate property of the human mind nor an immutable quality of the 'external' world.

This classic study of the life of the nobility at the royal court of France, especially under Louis XIV, has long been out of print. Here Elias shows how courtiers - and finally even the king himself - were entrapped in web of etiquette and ceremony, how their expenses, even down to details of their houses and household, were dictated by their rank rather than their income.

Quella che viene portata alla nostra attenzione è l'idea che i rapporti di superiorità/inferiorità, anche in assenza di disuguaglianze etniche o economiche, siano costruiti socialmente in base alla "anzianità" degli ingressi nella comunità, cioè alla distinzione tra "vecchie famiglie" e "nuovi arrivati". A partire da questo assunto, Elias sviluppa una serie di temi che rappresentano altrettanti problemi cruciali per le scienze sociali e per la...

In The Symbol Theory, Norbert Elias draws together three central themes. At the first level the book is concerned with symbols in relation to language, knowing and thinking. Secondly, Elias stresses that symbols are also tangible sound-patterns of human communication, made possible by the evolutionary biological precondition of human vocal apparatus. At a third level, the book addresses theoretical issues about the ontological status of knowle...

Der Fürstenhof des Ancien régime war ein ganz eigenes soziales Gebilde: Am »Hofe« waren oft viele Tausende von Menschen zur Bedienung, Beratung und Gesellschaft des Königs versammelt, von dessen Willen ihr Schicksal ebenso abhing wie ihr Rang, ihr Unterhalt oder ihr Auf- und Abstieg. Eigentümliche Zwänge, eine mehr oder weniger feste Rangordnung und eine genaue Etikette verband sie untereinander.Welches war der Aufbau des sozialen Feldes, in d...

In diesem Klassiker der Soziologie untersucht Elias eine englische Gemeinde in den Jahren 1958-60 und besonders die Spannungen zwischen den »Etablierten« und den neu Hinzugezogenen, den »Außenseitern«.

Das Buch untersucht das Funktionieren von Stigmatisierung, Tabuisierung, Gerüchte...

1991 erschien erstmals das Buch des großen Soziologen Norbert Elias über Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Damals schrieb die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: »... ein überaus lesbares Buch, in dem Elias mit erzählerischer Anschaulichkeit Antworten gibt auf die Frage, wie >das Genie Mozart< zustande kommen konnte. Er erhellt die inneren Antriebe und die äußeren Einflüsse: die Beziehung zum Vater, das nie gestillte Liebesbedürfnis, das Ringen um Anerkenn...
