Ethnographic fieldwork is something which is often presented as mysterious and inexplicable. How do we know certain things after having done fieldwork? Are we sure we know? And what exactly do we know? This book describes ethnographic fieldwork as the gradual accumulation of knowledge about something you don't know much about. We start from ignorance and gradually move towards knowledge, on the basis of practices for which we have theoretical ...

Sociolinguistic evidence is an undervalued resource for social theory, and in this book, Jan Blommaert uses contemporary sociolinguistic insights to develop another sociological imagination. Taking Durkheim as the point of departure, he first demonstrates how the facts of language and social interaction can be used as conclusive refutations of individualistic theories of society such as 'Rational Choice'. Next, he engages with theorizing the p...

An eminently readable analysis on the rhetoric of the 'tolerant majority' - those who view themselves as being open to a diverse society, a rhetoric that is prevalent throughout the media and political world.

Merkel, Sarkozy en anderen roepen het failliet uit van de multiculturele samenleving en Jan Blommaert geeft hen gelijk. 't Is te zeggen: als we het nieuwe extreemrechts zijn gang laten gaan, schrijft hij, is straks de héle samenleving failliet. Als ze al niet vervangen is door een vrijhandelszone.

De relatie van de mens tot arbeid is de afgelopen decennia wezenlijk veranderd, met als hoogtepunt de invoering van flexicurity. In dit boek geven de auteurs een heldere en toegankelijke beschrijving van die verandering. In het nieuwe arbeidsmodel werken we niet meer om te leven, we leven om te werken. Meer nog, ons gehele leven en het geheel van onze persoonlijkheid worden nu uitsluitend in functie van arbeid gezien. Termen als 'versoepeling'...
