This edited collection brings together texts that discuss current
major issues in our troubled times through the lens of Norbert
Elias's sociology. It sheds light on both the contemporary world
and some of Elias's most controversial concepts. Through
examination of the 'current affairs', political and social
contemporary changes, the authors in this collection present new
and challenging ways of understanding these social processes and
figurations. Ultimately, the objective of the book is to embrace
and utilise some of the more polemical aspects of Elias's legacy,
such as the exploration of decivilizing processes, decivilizing
spurts, and dys-civilization. It investigates to what extent
Elias's sociological analyses are still applicable in our studies
of the developments that mark our troubled times. It does so
through both global and local lenses, theoretically and
empirically, and above all, by connecting past, present, and
possible futures of all human societies.
