Durkheim's Ghosts is a fascinating presentation of the tradition of
social theory influenced by Emile Durkheim's thinking on the social
foundations of knowledge. From Saussure and Levi-Strauss to
Foucault, Bourdieu and Derrida, today's criticisms of modern
politics and culture owe an important, if unacknowledged, debt to
Durkheim. These engaging and innovative essays by leading
sociologist Charles Lemert bring together his writings on the
contributions of French social theory past and present. Rather than
merely interpret the theories, Lemert uses them to explore the
futures of sociology, social theory, and culture studies.
Durkheim's Ghosts offers the reader original insights into
Durkheim's legacy and the wider French traditions for the cultural
and social sciences. Of special note is the book's new and exciting
theory of culture and semiotics. Provocative, scholarly,
imaginative and ambitious this book will be invaluable to anyone
interested in social theory, culture, and intellectual history of
modern times.
