Sociology of unintended consequences is commonly depicted as a
framework for understanding the outcomes that run counter to the
initial intentions of social actors because of factors such as
ignorance, error and complexity. This conventional approach,
however, is now undergoing change under the influence of more
encompassing shifts in framing in social sciences. Indeed, in the
last few years, the study of the unintended has evidently moved
from the question "What are the sources of the unintended?" to the
inquiry "What is it that makes the unintended possible?" or "What
risks, but also opportunities, do the unintended entail?"
Explaining this puzzle in relation to the internal dynamics of
sociology of unintended consequences, Adriana Mica makes an erudite
journey in relation to its three main analytical frameworks, their
semantic shifts, setbacks and theoretical revivals. Certainly,
through the examination of the use of protective headgear in
boxing, this volume renders explicitly the possibilistic turn not
only in the specific research of the unintended, but in sociology
more generally. Presenting the contributions of leading sociology
theorists in a new light, Sociology as Analysis of the Unintended
will appeal to graduate students and researchers interested in
fields such as theoretical sociology, sociology of substantive
issues and sociology of sport.
