This book addresses the manifold crisis of current societies and
understands it as a failure of normative social structuration. As
an exemplar for this development, it analyses the decline of
welfare state models and the corresponding societal compromise.
Yet, it evaluates them as a symptom of a wider malaise of normative
orders in complex societies. The question thus arises as to how
social science can study the ongoing societal transformation. The
book frames the phenomenon as 'normative intermittency' to capture
its fluid alternation of social structuration and destructuration
and develops its analysis in three steps: first, it draws a
theoretically reflected symptomatic of its occurrences; it then
establishes the sociological diagnosis necessary to understand its
unfolding and finally evaluates its political outcomes.
Methodologically, the book advocates a complete overhaul of the
analytical frames of sociology to gauge the intermittent rhythm of
the ongoing societal transformation. Thus, it develops an
innovative reading of classical sociological theory beyond a number
of unreflected axiomatic assumptions of the current sociological
mainstream. Thanks to the assessment of the political outcomes of
failing social structuration the book turns to a discussion of the
development of possible emancipation paths in the form of
'transformative social action'; reflexively, this accounts for the
results of the sociological diagnosis of the crisis of normative
social orders. The main analyses within the book scrutinise a
number of empirical phenomena that establish normative
intermittency in current societies and refer to the major debates
that are taking place on the related topics in the state of art of
sociological and political theory.
