Moving beyond the individualisation paradigm in sociological
theory, this book develops an approach to the analysis of human
activities and the social phenomena produced by them that centres
on the processes that generate coordinated behaviours among
individuals. Emphasising the relational and processual character of
social phenomena, as well as the importance of a broader cultural
and historical context for analysing them, the author questions the
view of contemporary society that sees individuals acting in a
context in which social bonds are dissolving, and unveils the
rationale hidden behind the chaos of everyday activities. Through
an analysis of the continued importance of cooperation and the
consequent emergence in society of various kinds of communities,
this volume examines the changing character of social ties. An
overview of transformation of social bonds and the intensification
of mutual influences among individuals as they seek to address
social dilemmas in new contexts, The Individual after Modernity
will appeal to social scientists with interests in social theory.
