Once operating in relative obscurity, the sociological study of
sleep has in recent years become a flourishing area of scholarly
research generating unique insights into the ways in which sleep is
socially negotiated, influenced, and organized. Now, this new title
from Routledge's Critical Concepts in Sociology series brings
together in one 'mini library' the essential groundbreaking and
pivotal sociological texts. Furthermore, the development of the
sociology of sleep has greatly informed-and been informed by-other
academic subjects, such as anthropology, history, and geography.
Consequently, the synthetic and cross-disciplinary quality of sleep
research is fully reflected in the learned editor's selection of
major works to ensure that the collection will be welcomed by sleep
researchers across the social sciences, and beyond. The first of
four volumes covers the intricate theoretical foundations of the
sociology of sleep. Volume II, meanwhile, focuses on pioneering
sleep research in the social sciences more generally. The third
volume features groundbreaking scholarship on the various types of
sleep cultures that exist in the contemporary Western world.
Finally, Volume IV ventures beyond the Western world to make sense
of sleep research that is situated in a multitude of different time
periods and social contexts, and to offer an avowedly global
perspective. Supplemented with a full index and the editor's newly
written introductory essay, Sleep is a vital reference tool for
established researchers and advanced students alike.
