When sociology emerged as a discipline in the late nineteenth
century, the problem of crowds constituted one of its key concerns.
It was argued that crowds shook the foundations of society and led
individuals into all sorts of irrational behaviour. Yet crowds were
not just something to be fought in the street, they also formed a
battleground over how sociology should be demarcated from related
disciplines, most notably psychology. In The Politics of Crowds,
Christian Borch traces sociological debates on crowds and masses
from the birth of sociology until today, with a particular focus on
the developments in France, Germany and the USA. The book is a
refreshing alternative history of sociology and modern society,
observed through society's other, the crowd. Borch shows that the
problem of crowds is not just of historical interest: even today
the politics of sociology is intertwined with the politics of
crowds.
